Forum Overview :: Roop Dirump's Oom Shnibble's Your're Full Of It :: Re: The new X-Com should let you toggle between turn-based and real-time combat.

[quote name="Oom Shnibble"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]All they would have to do is make the turn-based combat streamlined enough that it could be played in real time, and the real-time combat hands-off enough that it could be played in turns. It would be the best of both worlds, like a car that's also a boat.[/quote] Did you play X-COM back in the day? I am always curious as to how people got into it, and I think you were in your teens when it came out, and I also think of you as being more inclined to play console games. How/when DID you get into it? (I know it was ported to the Playstation, and that it's been $3 or whatever over Steam forever and so forth, but I remain curious as to what got you interested in it. And if the answer is, "You grognard nerds wouldn't shut up about it for 20 years" then that's cool, too.) ICJ[/quote] When I played the demo I thought it sucked. For some reason my brother purchased a copy and because I had no life in my early teens I started playing it and everything just fell into place.[/quote]
