Hahaha, but I expected it to come out in June for some reason.

I just picked up XCOM:EU/EW and I was thinking holy crap I need to finish this in 8 weeks!

I'm currently doing a playthrough with the (now finished) Long War-mod. XCOM 2 is looking pretty great, I think I might even pre-order it.

Hearing Xcom 2 makes me think of throwing grenades under water and lobster men.... *shivers* scary!

[unholytestament]

lobster men.... *shivers* scary!

The bane of my existence...

Literally. I'm allergic to shellfish.

There must be an underwater expansion to x-com 2. So sayeth the scriptures.

I remember attacking under water bases and leaving my whole unit in the entry and just taking one guy in with a drill gun, pistol and lots of alien grenades and beating the base, save every move, always leave enough action points to take out a charging lobster man with drill gun and when you find out where the brain aliens were toss grenades there after reboot before they see you. Get to the center and take the base out. One man wrecking ball with no risk of losing your entire crew due to someone flipping out and shooting your own crew.

In the original game on double or triple decker alien ships where the upper floor was bigger than the bottom you could use the flight suit to vertically move up and pass through the upper level floor against the back wall cutting through the security and firing pinch points of the entire alien ship. Good times.

In the last Xcom if you make your entire team female you get a 'Amazon' achievement on xbox live.

Northernlion has started a Lets Play of Xcom2. He has a pre-release and was authorized to show it.

Unfortunately he's terrible about making playlists.

I really hope they will handle advent a little better than EXALT. I was kinda bummed when in the end of exalt line there was no real big reveal, just mission that allows you to gain some cash if you don't ruin enviroment.

Also, advents leader should be named Mangela Erkel.

Yeah, because Angela Merkel really can't do wrong /sarcasm mode off.
If you don't live in Europe, I forgive you. If you do live in Europe; Head, Arse, Out.

In other words, let's leave subjective, but preferably all, reality out of fictional content.
