Anyone play the original back in the day?

Going to pick up this game today. Looking forward to it quite a bit! I'll post a review after I play a bit of it.

Yup. I loved turn based strategy games. Jagged Alliance and Panzer General were my favorites. I liked xcom too.

yeah i used to play xcom too. a great game. i was also looking at the new one, but just didn't have time to try it out yet.

so i take it you got a new computer? what did you end up going with?

Apparently it's going to be a fps or something (maybe third person). I'm disappointed. Aren't there enough fps games out there?

I got it for PS3

The game is awesome so far. It's NOT fps, thank goodness! It actually stays pretty true to the original turn based strategy, which is awesome. The only complaint so far is that the game seems to stick to a strict storyline, so missions are pretty linear.

i never felt so cool in my life.
i've also never felt so left out.

It's not "cool" when you gotta compare yourself to nerds to feel cool. Admit it though, you're a nerd too.. Just not as cool of a nerd like the rest of us!

lol, ok good point.
i was thinking about this:

lol, i less nerdy by being in this thread.

I'm done.. Anyone want to borrow it for PS3?

i don't mind borrowing it if you are done with it.

did you already play through it or did you just get bored of it already?

Sure. I played through it already.

hilarious, i was reading through this thread without any recollection of it and was going to post saying how left out i feel when i came across my own post saying how left out i feel.

great minds think exactly like said mind.

Yeah, you only feel cool when put next to nerds.

Yeah... being the coolest guy in our group really..... isn't...... that..... cool.

yeah
so
poker?
