I wouldn't see coop in xcom as making that much sense, but I have nothing wrong with the idea of coop in tbs. I used to play coop civ games all the time, it is a blast. We just play hotseat and try to work together as best we can. It's actually the most fun I've had in civ.
There are also coop board games that are really fun. So it's not some brand new thing that no ones ever done before. And technically it's easier to accomplish than multiplayer realtime; a week versus several months of work.
I don't see XCom crying out for it
The demo was awesome. I agree that it didn't give much of an idea of the scope of the game, but there are so few of these tactical games that I kind of don't care. I know from the demo that the gameplay is at least solid. Early previews of the rest of the game seem quite positive. And it's firaxis, who in my opinion can't make a bad game. Instabuy.

Just mechanics wise it doesn't sound like something that would be easy to do, or very fun to play to be honest. You move your guys on your turn, but you put them in the spot your friend wanted to put his. Oh shit the enemy just flanked your guys and your friend is half way across the map and it isn't his turn to move for awhile.
Not every game needs co op. I realize that's the "big thing" now, personally for a game of this type single player works just fine thanks.

I haven't pre-ordered yet, as I'm holding out for a decent sale price. Has anyone found any deals, aside from a 10% pre-order discount from Amazon and GMG? [EDIT] The below may no longer be valid...just looked at the "free" game and it looks like it's $20 now ... Yup, blog says it ended at 11:00 UTC today. Sorry. Link to Blog About Deal Ending[/EDIT]
You can get the game for 44.99 + $8 off using the following link on Green Man. Good till Oct. 1st-ish...depending on time zone. Obviously no steam "goodies" if you go this route. I've been holding off for a demo....gonna try it out tonight and buy if I'm into it. Damn. Just got into GW2 as well. lol.
XCOM Deal Page Yeah the deal appears to be over. Dammit! I thought it ran untill October 1st. Welp, I was going to buy it today after that great demo but now I'll wait and see if they do something similar again. These people that won't buy anything new at full price, especially titles that are worthy of paying full price for, I often wonder what kind of hardware they have in their machines since a good video card is far from cheap. Not only that but don't you people actually want to support devs that make games that you enjoy? No wonder publishers don't take chances and just pump out sequels and me too copy cat titles of whatever big title is currently the hot game.
Especially in the case of Xcom being only 50 when most titles are 60 out of the gate these days. |
