I own this on PC but haven't played it yet :/ 

Same here! I actually mentioned it on Discord earlier.


Well, I should say, WAS the same here, but this post reminded me of it and I started it up about an hour ago. Has been really neat so far! I'm enjoying the reaction ring around enemies, so you can't just XCOM them. (i.e. run up next to them with a shotgun while taking cover next to them, and killing them in one shot)


XCOM actually had a perk like this, specifically for when enemies got too close, but I don't think any of the enemies ever had it. Having it on everyone makes it a lot more interesting, because you actually have to play the game properly and can't cheese it by mad shotgun dashes.

Sounds good! I'm going to be in RDR town tomorrow, but I really do have to get back to this one.

Man, now I gotta endure several weeks of RDR hype. Not like I would get it on a base PS4 anyway (would have to be on an X, which I don't have) but boy is it gonna make it rough waiting for the inevitable PC version.


And then I'm sure just like Max Payne 3 and GTA V I'll have put up with a wait and then find out the game isn't really for me anyway. :p

Yeah I don't have a base PS4 and I'm getting a PS4 Pro with it. I really didn't want to do the wait for RDR2 on PC and there were enough other games on PS4 I also want that helped justify it.
