Playing the demo right now for xbox, it has a really cool soundtrack and an eerie vibe to it

it looks like a more violent version of the sims with some rts action mixed in to me. Looks pretty cool but the art style reminds me of megablocks.

The demo is not indicative of the full game, not even close

My favorite game of the year, but yes it does have alot of bugs.

Also if you understand simple math stay away from this game

They have no idea what statistics mean

3 soldiers missed a 90% shot and the forth missed a 99% shot on an enemy with no cover at all standing in the middle of nowhere

He went on to kill my Canadian Heavy Peter "Plague" Hunter

you do realize 99% means there is a chance to miss right?

If you play the game long enough the averages even out.

Also you will and can hit your fair share of 50% shots as well.

I agree its frustrating, but the longer you play the averages do even out.

You do realize the statistical probability of all those 4 shots missing right?

Doesnt matter though the only soldier I really try to keep alive is Isabella "Dizzy" Flores

Its possible

I've maybe missed 3 total with that high of a percentage.

I've got 45 hours into the game now. Not saying it cant happen, but that's not going to happen, probably ever again.

But again, I agree its frustrating when it happens, as it usually happens at the worst possible time. I missed a 95% shot last night and was insta killed by a elite muton right after that. RAGE!!!!

A 90% shot isn't actually 90% depending on your difficulty, btw. If you're on Classic it's quite a bit lower.

And the LoS issues aren't bugs per se, it's just a case of the game's visuals not matching up with the rule-set. You can make some shots that look pretty weird the way they're represented visually, but make perfect sense under the rules of the game.

I was kinda let down by the graphics compared to the pc vids I've seen on here Razz. But I got used to them

The graphics are kinda meh on PC even IMO

They do the job though, and the art-style is awesome.
