I need some advice. I am looking to get this game, but i got burned badly on my last purchase (the witcher 2). As a result, i have become rather paranoid about the quality of this game as well. Looking at metacritic people seem to like x-com alot but considering that the same is true for the witcher 2, i dont want to trust it. Looking at some videos about it encouraged me, but i am not quite convinced just yet. Can you lend me a hand?

When it comes to games, i value high-quality gameplay and/or lots of freedom. Writing and story is secondary for me. For instance, i enjoyed ace combat assault horizon alot, despite the extremely generic story and characters. Other games i much enjoyed in recent years is;

Faster then light

Skyrim

Far cry 3

Deus ex human revolution

Mass-effect 2

IL-2 Sturmovik; birds of prey

Dragon age origins

Should i buy X-com EU? Is it hard to get into? How long can i expect to play it? The price is 299 swedish currency, or 45 dollars.

I would be thankful for your opinion. Have a good day.

Can someone move this? its in the wrong place. My mistake!

You should get it, it is very good game, and has a lot of stuff you can, do I saw videos where the developers talked about how good the game is. For getting a 9 out of 10 makes this game incredible. So you should get it and skyrim is very good as well, I give that game a 9.8 out of 10 just because a few bugs. You should get it I love it.

I liked X-COM a lot, but fair warning: it's a very short game. You can easily beat the campaign in 10 hours or so, and while it is fine to go back and replay on some of the higher difficulties, there isn't that much new content.

Thats... not good. What about the pricetag? worth it?

It really has to come down to your tastes, I think. If you're a big fan of tactical RPGs, you'll like it. There is a demo on steam I think, if you wanna try it out first. As much as I liked it I do have mixed feelings about recommending it because it is so short.

Playing on Xbox. Havent had much experience with tactical games. I enjoyed heroes of might and magic v, if you even played it. Any similar?
