That's beside the point

I've only played rise of nations and that's pretty fun, but I think Godzilla 2 on NES is where its at.

i second this man

stalin vs the martians is a great game and gave us this incredible video

the xcom series is also pretty good except for the one game of which we dare not speak that was not actually a strategy game

the bureau

fuck the bureau, that shit was so fucking terrible

it was basically x-com mass effect with all the good shit that made mass effect good removed or watered down to the point of being unusable

aussie cattle dog wrote:it was okay
i mean the ending was beyond shitty but the combat and story were decent(up until the end where everything went pants on head retarded)

no the combat was fucking terrible in that game

the only halfway decent bit was the story but that shit makes no sense if you consider the plot of literally every other x-com game ever

aussie cattle dog wrote:wasn't xcom basically excuse plot stuff up until apocalypse anyway

fuck if i know, but even if it was the entire premise of the bureau makes enemy unknown stupid as shit

if we already knew that aliens existed and that they're trying to kill the fucking earth, why are we almost completely ill-prepared for it every time they show up and why do we keep having to re-establish the bureau?

the whole purpose of the bureau was to hide the fact that aliens were a thing
you can pretty much assume all the information was gone since enemy unknown pretty much confirms that all the info that the bureau got was gotten rid of

but still that's retarded

"let's get rid of our records about and not tell anyone about the alien threat that just kicked half of our shit and took massive weapons developments to even halt, much less stop" fucking brilliant

unless dlc comes out and confirms xcom was really illuminati!!!

if the x-com was secretly the illuminati in the bureau that would have made the game much better guaranteed

or if xcom was controlled by aliens themselves

and were using xcom as one huge and covert experiment for testing out human technology to know how to fuck us up later on enemy unknown

this is pretty much what happened

but didn't they lose enemy unknown? like really badly?

the bureau, because she said
"...to know how to fuck us up later on enemy unknown"

yeah pretty much, though i kinda hate dota because it's such a team focused game
like if 2 or 3 of your teammates are shit you've basically lost the match

Empire/the first rome.

I have about an equal amount of time in both.

Rome is especially fun when you get in a voice call with 3 or 4 people.
