Discussion / Re: Save in Combat

« on: February 05, 2008, 08:37:22 am »

Just want to add my two cents that no battlescape saves sucks bigtime, for most of the reasons previously posted.  I willl quite often play some other game because I've only got half-an-hour on the computer and I don't think that'll be enough time to clear some of the larger battlescape maps.

Leaving this feature out of the game is simply bad game design. It doesn't increase my fear of any battlescape scenario. It just pisses me off and makes me think about playing something else.  If I paid money for this game, I would be upset.  Because it's free, I'm happy just to grumble 

Cheers,

Andy

Discussion / Saving game & replacing units

I just want to add myself to the ranks of those requesting a tactical mission in-game save.

There are numerous reasons why this is necessary, the least of which is the wife calling me for dinner when I was half-way through clearing out some mine near Wellington.

As Kzwix points out, for something as important as this you should let the players decide for themselves what is fun.  A no-reload iron man-like feature is OK but it should be optional because some of us wimps like saving our tactical battles every minute or so.   I could do it in the original XCom - I strongly suggest I should be able to do it here.

Cheers,

Andy
