The bureau
« on: August 29, 2013, 05:59:18 pm »
Guys, I played the intro sequence (that is until the hero ends up in the headquarters) and I like both visuals and the way combat is done. If it were not this high price tag I'd be getting it immediately, but I might get it anyway later as it looks quite intriguing.

Anyone else tried it? What's your thoughts?

Also interested to hear it.  Trailers of the combat look promising.  Not for an XCOM-alike, of course, but for a game of its own.

What I've heard amounts to the combat being a little on the repetitive side. More than that I couldn't say.

If you want this kind of combat, play Mass Effect 2 and 3. The story is rather bland, the shooting is "ok", but the missions are so mind boggingly repetitive. Not to mention enemies are way too bullet spongy.

It's not even much in there for XCOM fans, since it really has basically nothing to do with XCOM at all, and breaks the timeline so bad it's hilarious.

I'd say unless you're a fan of third person squad combat, leave it be.
