Forum Overview :: Guess Who Fucked Up X-Com Now :: I think people were expecting a little too much from this game.

[quote name="Eurotrash"]The thing is, nobody gives a fuck about UFOs and shit anymore. XCOM? What's that? Some old timey game that my dad played? The original game was what, some kind of borderline indie title that came out in the middle of the mid-90's UFO craze? People lapped that shit up. These days? Not so much. So you wanna release a new XCOM game in the current high-stakes market, for the current lobotomized audience? And it's gotta be Xbox compatible? Better dumb it down a bit if you wanna make money on it. I think they struck a decent balance. Would I have wanted a far more complex game with bigger maps and less bullshit, and base defense and shit? Of course, man. But maybe it's better this way. Look how the last Jagged Alliance turned out. What were they thinking?[/quote]
