    Yep, pulled the trigger myself, got an email from GreenMan Gaming for it with a coupon for 23% off, figured it probably between now and release wouldn't get any cheaper than that so I went ahead as well.

    Also reloaded XCOM to have another go through on Enemy Within, only played that one through once and there's a lot of new tech stuff I never researched and got to play with so figured, why not.

    I'm playing Impossible/Ironman but I failed to truly ironman it out, i admit. I alt-f4 ed many times due to stupid mistakes. Got to the point where I have 6 snipers with plasma sniper rifles, 4 of them with mimetric skin. Can't lose now.

    Sounds like you've got it pretty well wired for victory at this point then with four ghostly snipers! I'm not being nearly as hardcore (normal-ironman) as I'm just not that big a fan of the current rogue-like craze, just another game design passing fad far as I'm concerned, but having a great time like I mentioned above messing around with gene stuff and the mech stuff (I think they cluttered things up a bit too much with all the new grenades and stuff as there's still the same limited carrying ability and hell if I'm wasting my one slot on some random grenade rather than more armor or health).

    You have to wade though some boring ass civ stuff, but it's worth it to see some new info on Xcom 2.

    Might want to give some warning to those that want to see what's in store for them unspoiled as these recent videos are giving a good chunk of the surprise away imho...

    I however don't mind and everything I've seen makes me want this game even more.
