What Alien Invasion needs in order to replace XCOM1 as the best game
Sirine:
『homunculus』: yap, the enemy unknown. I can see you still having fun with that tactic of yours...aren't you?
『Another Guy』: Will that be call the element of surprise?
Another Guy:
Yep. No psi gun or line of sight required for alien psionics kinda compensates for some bugs in the AI and helps on the scary feeling. One of the best games I've ever played!

Ooooooo, freaky...... freaky.... i always hated psionics on xcom...... but love it when I HAVE Em! :P
And yeah homunculus, it does..... IMHO too. :D

Here are my reason:- (SNIP)

Mine was 2. More equip and research and stuff. it would be FUN if there are alot more stuff to research! And making this battle against this onslaught of invaders a slightly longer than expected storylines, perhaps with TWISTS! :D
BTAxis:
Erm, Odie, I think you're missing the point. He was saying the game was bad BECAUSE it uses 3D graphics. Which isn't true, it's just the old "blah blah 3D graphics are all that matters in games these days blah blah need to go back to the old days when games had to be good to be successful blah blah" argument, except he doesn't know what he's talking about and is just trying to seem like a "better gamer" than the rest of us.
X-COM was a great game. It also had its flaws no matter what anyone says. UFO:AI aims to be a different game, and you can like that or not, but if you don't like it why are you even still here?
Sirine:
BTAxis: please calm down...
1. Gently and quietly, breathe through your nose and back out through your mouth for as long as you're angry or disturbed. If you feel light headed, slowly stop. However, if you are very emotional and breathing too fast, use a paper lunch bag to breathe into to slow your system down.
2. Shake your shoulders to release tension.
3. Talk to friends or go on/off the computer to forget about the stress.
4. Lie down in a safe place. Close your eyes and listen to slow music to take your mind off of emotional pressure. Let all tension in your forehead, neck and hands fade away slowly. Imagine every part of your body relaxing. Start with your toes and as you breathe, imagine them becoming one with the Earth. Remember to breathe from your stomach and not chest, and to spend several breaths on each body part until you feel all the muscles there completely relaxed. Try to be as still as possible.
5. Take a piece of paper to write logically about what has happened and list steps of action to sort it out properly. After you write it down, shred it and throw it away. It's symbolic of throwing away those feelings you just want to get out.
6. Take time to privately relax, meditate, or pray. Great peace comes through purposely focusing on quieting one's being without worrying about distractions of the world.
7. Squeeze a stress ball, sponge, or other pliable object at least 50 times.
8. Take a walk outside alone. Go to a store or the park or even your backyard! A good breath of fresh air always feels good.
9. Realize that you can not control what will happen today. Know that you can control how you react to the problems that will happen every day. When you find yourself getting anxious, worried or stressed because life seems to be out of control, pause, take a few deep breaths and then tell yourself a positive affirmation such as: "Life is crazy but I am calm." Repeat this ten times and you will sense calm.
10. Carry a picture with you of an image that makes you feel calm in a crazy world. It should have scenes of nature, not people. Some people find images of water very calming. Carry this in your purse, wallet or briefcase, and keep it with you. When you sense you are getting anxious, you have the calm image available to look at while using your positive affirmation. Place a calm photo image at your office desk and look at it several times in the day while saying a positive affirmation like "Life is crazy but I am calm."
11. Make it a goal to live more and stress less. Remember, you manage your feelings. Don't let your feelings and worry manage you!
12. Consider events in your childhood: How has your upbringing contributed to how you react and feel about the world? Think of traumatic, crazy events that occurred between age 5-10 and isolate them. Write them down on a piece of paper, crumple it and throw it out.
13. Identify the people in your life who are making you feel like the world is out of control and consider what TV shows, websites and media you view or listen to that make you feel like the world is crazy. Surround yourself with other people who are calm!
14. Think about the situation from a different perspective that doesn't result in you being so stressed. Consider the points of view of others around you.
15. Think about all of the good things in your life and make a list of them on paper in a journal. Never look back at what you wrote.
16. Write the feelings of your day in a journal, because sometimes you need someone to talk to but you want them to be silent, so write the feelings in a journal.
17. Always try to stay positive no matter what and remember everything happens for a reason and you're not the only person dealing with these issues.
18. Count to ten if you're mad and you're about to say something really mean to someone you love.
19. Remember that there are many people in your life who love and care for you. They might be disappointed at you for a little time, but they will get over it eventually.
20. Don't get down on yourself. If you're having a bad day, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself good things. Say "You are smart, beautiful/handsome" keep your confidence up. Don't let other people bring you down!!!!! Stay Strong!!!
21. Be strong and convince yourself that you can control yourself because you have the power of choice in one little tiny moments, so don't waste it, and make the right choice.
