The guys from 2K and Green Man Gaming were there, and they gave us a short presentation on XCOM 2 on what is new!

Before the presentation started everyone was talking about XCOM and games in general, with a lot of chatting and introducing. Panos and implosiveturnip were both there ready to get stuck in the new game! :)

Especially when we were in the room for a while and XCOM 2 was just waiting to be played!

But it is okay, as we had a free bar right next to the gaming setup!

My personal opinion on the game... I cannot compare to the previous games as I will be honest, I've never played a single XCOM game before! - When playing the tutorial, it got me hooked straight away, it was easy to understand, easy to just get stuck in and be immersed with the graphics and the game-play. I found it extremely fun, and I can see this game being incredibly successful. It is definitely worth buying when it comes out!

Of course, the events never end without the OcUK freebies!

I would like to say thanks to Steve and OCUK for the opportunity given to me, and the gifts (need to find what to do with 1 sqm mouse matt). And Greenman gaming, for the organisation of the event, and all the other happenings in there.

As for the game, nothing less expected than ASWESOME. If anyone thought XCOM Enemy Within is as good as it gets, you are mistaken.
Firaxis kept the good parts, re-engineering the not so good parts, and added tonnes of new features.
Highlights of these, procedural map generator, a lot of random stuff happening (even on research), pretty brutal AI on Commander and higher difficulty. And by that I mean intelligent, and not strong but predicted. Failed 4 times to pass the second mission (3rd if you include tutorial) and I believe everyone else around faced with the same kick on their rears.....

And lets not forget Steam Works support and that the Long War mod team, was issued to create 3 mods for the launch day. (and around 50GB worth of mods will be waiting us next Friday apparently)

Thank you :)
