I guess it was still sort of a tutorial mission. I got shot, GG got shot, so we both went into hiding. Iga was a complete badass, untouched and killed a few. Steel has a rocket launcher and got lost, he finally made it and killed the aliens. Was the only member untouched, he got a promotion, the rest of us are in sick bay. Seems pretty realistic so far.

Did I get a promotion? Or Steel?

And shame on you for playing with me. That is like enabling god mode!

Oops I forgot to put a word in there. Yeah you were the only one untouched. Now you have two promotions making you the highest rank member.

Everyone lived. Iga remains a badass, he got shot, didnt phase him. He couldnt use the sniper for one turn so he took out the pistol and head shot an alien. Raven got poisoned and paniced but he later redeemed himself with two kills. Only Edge had no kills. Everyone got a promotion.

Game is very easy, so far no deaths, we are all ranking up nicely. Aspro, Foolz, Angel and Robio have yet to see action.

Now a tough decision I have a few attacks to choose from. Australia's mission says very difficult and that is the country with the most panic. I can play it safe and go to Canada and do a difficult mission but the reward is not as good as Aus. I know many will die if I go down under. What to do...

I choose Australia, OMG THEY ARE EVERYWHERE! I'm hit! Iga and Leo are missing shots, ahhh, GG you must save me! Ah GG screwed up.  Oh no I am shot again, I need Ada Wong to save me. Leo is panicing! GG just threw a grenade that killed 3 at once WOO! Ada got to me, luckily the alien that was trying to kill me shot at her rather than finish me off, she has healed me but I am out of combat. Leo shot a rocket up the ass of the alien trying to kill me. We have regrouped, so far so good. We sweeped up the rest. Success. Yup this game is too easy. Must raise to harder difficulty.

Well my guy is out for about half a month. Kill rankings right now its steel with 10, GG with 7, Iga with 6, Leo with 3.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Katz, we regret to inform you that your son, David "Rabid Cat" Katz, has been killed in the line of duty. He was a good man. He killed ONE alien before being shredded by an Alien Gatling gun.

He is survived by Squadmates: Rob Matterhorn, Steel Attack, Bugs OnGlass, Edge Crusher, Steven Lynn and Wajiha Zaidi. I would memorialize Sgt. Travo, but he was a scrub that got his ass shot in the first mission.

Are you in the first 90 minutes of the game still? The lead desginer said that was the tutorial and after that they ramp up the difficulty.

If you are asking me, I am still in the tutorial section. It is sad that I am getting my men killed already, but I'm not taking the game too seriously yet. I just wanted to try it out; I am learning how to play and HOW it plays (which is very well for a former PC blockbuster on console)... Can't get too deep into anything else while my Borderlands 2 addiction is still at its peak! This and Dishonored will make it VERY difficult though!

OMG jet pack aliens, Aspro is FUCKED. He is surrounded by three of them. Edge and Foolz have gone into panic together. Steel needs to save the day.

Yeah I finished the tutorial, everything was too easy. Just switched it and it seems you will die. Steel missed a shot at point blank range, you are officially super fucked. Ok big decision time. Do i attack with Aspro and try to even the odds a bit or just go into the fetal position to get better defense as they take open shots at him... fetal position it is. Here we go...

Ravid is some bad twin cousin, make the real me Leo. Nyaa

OMG Aspro has horribly murdered. Steel got hit too but he took it like a man and returned fire with a rocket launcher killing the jetpack sons of bitches. Jill came in with a grenade killing one and Steel finished up the other. All jetpack dudes gone, wow that got ugly. Poor Aspro, he got ambushed cause the crappy aliens were on the other side of the map so I sent everyone there.

Foolz almost died, I ran him into the line of fire without knowing, luckily the alien was an idiot and decided not to fire on his turn. Edge got his first kill by killing that alien. Steel captured some special alien. Success.

My travo has yet to start a mission.

I played for about 5 hours straight. Got to the first alien base mission. I tried it and got massacred due to a stupid mistake. I will retry it when I get back from my trip.

The game is Xcom, honestly it maybe too much like the original. The combat feels slightly better, the base stuff was better in the original. Overall I feel like I am playing a remake(I guess it is supposed to be a remake though) which is great and kind of disappointing all at the same time.

He's too distracted by the pic of the day lady.

I wasn't Lucky, Vader, the alien was too scared to shoot at me. Nyaa

Did we play Animal Crossing together in the bushes? Good strategy, let Iga do the heavy lifting. Is there a Wendys anywhere near?
