XCOM 2

I am. Just hoping they don't follow the trend of 'streamlining' things.
Apart from that concern things look really good in the previews. Greater customization will make for more attachment with soldiers and higher stakes. The whole guerrilla force fighting oppressive establishment scenario will be a nice change, although I don't really see how can they make obtaining resources any harder than it already was.
Not going to pre-order it though. Going to wait a week to see the reviews.

I might pre-order this one, only do that on a couple games in any given year, this will likely be it.

After the abysmall state of Civ BE i'm not suire I'll preorder it, but I'll buy it as soon as I see a decent video reveiwing it. Looks really nice so far, and It's fully moddable.

I don't associate the two as they aren't the same team developing them.

Civ has been dead to me for awhile, it suffers from much the same problem as TW, the ideas that constitute the core game play have been exhausted, they have no new story to tell me.

Whereas XCOM is doing something new from the last game, we've flipped sides in effect. In the first game the aliens were invading earth, in this iteration the invasion succeeded, and humans are now the counter insurgency fighting to take earth back. And as you said, this time full mod support is in the package from day one.

Aaaand it's been delayed to February next year.

That sucks.

Yeah, bit disappointing that, but I guess I'll just have to roll with it and hope they are putting the additional development time to use making sure the game is finished when they launch it.
