XCom 2 is XCom 1 with different graphics (and bugs). The gameplay and indeed the entire game engine is pretty much identical.

Yes, it's very similar. You'll need to patch the potentially game-breaking bugs Skanky alluded to. Also TFTD is harder.

Actully, I was looking at the tech trees of the two games and TFTD has quite a bit more to research, and a more complicated tech tree. (Too bad about that whole deep one thing that can freeze tech progress.)

Telletubbies, is a term associated with TFTD.

That makes even less sense than your normal posts.

Someone wrote a review about the game at Gamespot and he called the squad of yellow outfits -- telletubbies!

Sway back and forth, while walking in that game!

Telletubbies!

>>Personally, I don't care all that much for graphics. I think that the best part is in the gameplay and the music. I can handle the stupid animation of cheesy-looking deaths and Telletubby-like movement. Yet when I play this game, I keep asking myself, "aren't games supposed to be fun?" <<

From the review!

If you'd posted that link in the last post it would have made sense.

Come to think about it. Another reviewer (or same reveiwer ?) of the game (player these are) used another term for the game -- TFTD!

Dehydrated Broccoli Dressing!



It's late, I must go!

So, the player can get his Telletubbies, and kill that dehydrated broccoli dressing game!
