Invisible Inc didn't always include the rewind mechanic and I don't think it was actually a planned feature. Later iterations probably balanced the game more around it, but I still think it is kinda amazing how well it works given it wasn't in the game until relatively late into development.

I'd actually very much like the game to penalise you for not using rewind. Or rather I'd like the game to be balanced with assumption you will use it. I like that rewind creates a nice middle ground between quick save scumming and iron mode. I think it allows for a more challenging game in other respects and that doesn't feel frustrating when a miss click puts your main girl in open ground surrounded by cyberdisks (especially when the UI was pretty bad when it came to different elevations...). It smooths the transition from too easy to too hard.

That said, there are a number of changes from Enemy Unknown that I'd like to have more priority. Borrowing from Invisible Inc again, the ever raising alarm level in that creates a sense of urgency that I never felt in XCOM, even in the bomb missions and with the meld resource. I never lost a soldier because I forced them to take an incredible risk for the sake of the mission, I really only lost people because an unlucky shot dinked them in head across the map when they were in heavy cover. It looks like they are perhaps addressing urgency with the threat of reinforcements, which is cool. The other frustration I had with XCOM:EU/EW is that it always seemed to punish scouting. You'd effectively "wake up" the aliens by finding them which really disincentivised spreading out to cover more ground. It was simply safer to move as ball and let the enemies run into you (with the possible exception of the terror missions). it looks like they might be addressing that by making you the insurgent force with ambush tactics etc.

So yeah. I'm hyped.

This made me laugh. Too funny.

Just like a liberal claiming to be a victim and seeking a higher power for justice. Go to Dag with your closed minded opinions of me being unfair, racist, bigot. Boo Fking Hoo.

You sifters berate me day in and day out and I don't bitch and scream unfair to Dag or Lucky.

Sure I represent .00000000x% at this site but by your ( Liberal Sifters ) standards I should get EXTRA protection from bullies like you and you should be banned for picking on such a minority.

You hypocrite. Maybe it is time for me to have Dag to step in due to you incessant bullying. No - I'm better that that.


liberals except all forms of opinions and diversity only if it agrees with liberal views. How closed minded.

Out of hundred of accounts there are only about 5 speak wisdom and conservatism into this dismal abyss in hopes that you might actually wake up from you liberal stupor.

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5. Somebody wake up Hicks!

Ah! Thanks. *discard

I need to wake up.

I say things like that because they are objectively true. The very concept of omnipotence and omniscience violate all kinds of physical laws. They are paradoxes; the "immovable force meeting the immovable object", but all our experience and learning tells us the universe does not work like that. Again, we might be wrong, but the more we learn, the less likely it becomes that we've missed something so vast.

We haven't missed it, chaosengine; the vast majority of people on Earth believes there is a God.

Human history is full of misery, suffering and cruelty to everything around us. One of the few bright points is our quest for knowledge, and you willfully reject that to cling to a stone age belief system that has been demonstrably proven false (geocentricity, for example) again and again.

In every important way, man hasn't learned anything and hasn't changed at all. The misery and suffering in the world increases year by year, it doesn't decrease.

Factually, it's incorrect.
Morally, it's bankrupt and consistently on the wrong side of history.

Matthew 24:35

Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

One day you might wake up and realise (to paraphrase the much missed Douglas Adams) that "the garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it".

Until then, you are welcome to indulge in your fantasies, but if you insist on injecting your irrationality into debates like this, expect disagreement.

I've read most of Douglas Adams works. I grew up secular and you would probably be shocked at the level of agreement we would have had in the not too distant past. I have been set free from the bondage of slavery to sin, and have been born again into a living hope. What you know on its own profits you nothing, because without faith it is impossible to please God. Ask God to reveal Himself to you. You don't have to acknowledge it to me, but that is the only way you will ever know anything about God, is by His personal revelation to you. He is faithful to give you a revelation of your need for a Savior.

I keep waking up and hoping this whole administration was a bad dream. It's "almost" like money is controlling the entire Federal US government regardless of party.

That's great. Except you have to keep waving that napkin for the next 30 minutes or the little fart will wake up.

him waking up from his dream and other scenes reminded me too much of the matrix and other movies. i was bored watching this whatever it was... rubbish.. yes rubbish. it was like the sort of nonsense the arty farty world would show in the tate modern

You have been awarded 1 Power Point for fixing the embed code for Dead Pool video Whitest Kids You Know We Gona' Make Love (Until You Wake Up). Thank you for helping maintain VideoSift's reliability.

Uh huh. Have an excruciatingly painful grand mal seizure a few times, where you lose consciousness(thankfully) from lack of oxygen because you literally cannot draw breath, waking up not knowing who you are for an hour, then tell me you won't change your behavior and bucket list to avoid it (oh, and the death) in the future. Easy to say, harder to do.
