This was one of the 1st vids I've watched of actual gameplay. It looks like they've made some really cool changes. I'm actually pretty happy they've removed the building bonus mechanic, caused more frustration than anything for me.

Yep, lost count on how many times i restarted because i want happy with the steam vent layout. One of my favourite "new" features is the loot system. Not exactly the same as the one in the original games but still better than nothing.

Yeah, it drove me mad. Trying to create a layout that would work till the end of the game. I really like the way they've kind of got rid of those 1st moves where you doing turns on your own.

The only thing that concerns me now is the mission timers. I really would like to sit back and plan my moves properly instead of feeling rushed to cover as much of the map as quickly as possible.

Totally forgot about those missions. Maybe the missions with limited turns will drop you straight into the battle?
 
I'm still totally amped for this title, will wait for the release and another week or so and then make a move to buy this
 
Glad i went with the retail box. The hologram on the front looks great.

The only thing that worries me is the Nvidia Gameworks logo on the back.

Great game so far. They have improved it almost every way. The only thing that's really starting to annoy me is the mission timers. I feel too rushed and make stupid mistakes when you only have 12 turns to rescue and escort a VIP to the extraction location.

that is my concern. i always choose Turn Based over Real Time for that very reason. I enjoy the time to think and plan. nervous about the new "rush-rush-pressure-pressure" philosophy of XCOM 2

Yep, the community seems to be split on this. I'm getting used to it but most of the time i don't have enough turns to setup a perfect ambush. They introduced this to get rid of the overwatch games which people loved so much, but in the same process made everything else except run and gun tactics almost useless.

 
This game is massive... Does anyone in Centurion or Witbank have it downloaded so that I can copy a steam backup over?
