To be honest, i mostly dont watch your videos to 'preview' a game before i buy it, but mostly for enjoyment. So i dont really care if videos are late for new games, since i use them personally as entertainment (And i am pretty sure i am not the only one). This video is an excellent example of this.

1:20 there is actually a mod for that. "Squad Cohesion" is its name, and realism is its game.

No need to apoligize for a late review, we understand you also have other things to do:-)

[stynkanator]

See you say these reviews are irrelevant since it is late but usually I wait for your review before i buy a game.

[GoldSabre]

Thanks for the review; I always value your reviews above others, so I'm glad this is late rather than never. A lot of people wait for a sale before picking up these new games, so it's good to have in your review library!

shooting point blank should never be missed and firaxis should taking distance factor as aspect too... and yeah, that fall off the building bug also turn me off, so i never climb up the building except for sniper...

[CatfishShotgun]

I disabled autosave and just manually handled 3 saves + one f5 quicksave

[Avioto]

Another great review. Strange that they didn't send you a review code though.

Is it bad that personality idea sounded good to me? XD

[LightningPuppet]

I don't know why people say Reviews are irrelevant after a long period of time, Reviews are always important no matter when there released it's why i hate Angry Joe sometimes when he drops a review cause it's been a month so dumb.

[nightfright]

I dropped the game after a few hours, it just felt like I was replaying the first one, and the crappy performance at times, and the repetitive game pausing dialog ("hurr durr we're losing too many civilians") didn't help

Please please please bring this to consoles!

Isn't even in my game "wishlist". Still wanted to watch a top-notch review :)

[Incredzible]

I think any review of any game you put out I will watch, I just really like hearing you talk about video games. So to me, I don't care when you review a game. Nice video as always!

[speccrusastrum]

this is the third video I watched that says saving all the time is natural. Is there even a bias?

[MidnightArctic]

@eldergeek any chance you could release your character pool? Would love to see your Witcher ones

[zetetick]

Well, that XCOM baddie (3:50) certainly has good comic timing...

[TangoEchoAlphaUK]

XCOM2 was my first foray into the XCOM series - absolutely loving it so far, but it is a shame about the stuttery graphics in places. Absolutely crazy that an i7 5820k, 32GB of RAM and 2x GTX980Ti GPUs can't run it in ultra without stuttering....

[KaiserAfini]

Considering this game doesn't crash, does some pretty cool fire effects, plus shaders, plus destructible terrain, plus customizable pathfinding, plus enemy AI and all the inherent complexity of a turn based RPG, plus base building, the fact that it only lags, yet doesn't crash speaks volumes of the code quality.
