XCOM Worth It?

Totally worth it IMO

For that price? Definitely.

If you don't buy it at that price, we shall never become friends.

Not saying that you would want that. Just saying that I'd be very disappointed. I don't know how long you can live with the disappointment of a random stranger on the Internet. Not long, I bet.

Just buy it already!

Worth it unless you hate strategy games. If you don't mind DOSBox, play UFO Defense before Enemy Unknown.

Worth it for just XCOM Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within at that the price.

Or, to look at it another way the "X-COM complete pack" is that price, with the original UFO Defense, Apocalypse and Interceptor being the highlights. Outside sales, those 3 are already $15 and worth it.

And The Bureau isn't that bad either; the troubled production did leave it's marks, but it's good ful to play through all the same and the story's pretty solid.

Mind you, if you're not a fan of strategy/tactics games, the value of the series does drop quite fast, because then only Interceptor, The Bureau and Enforcer are interesting, and Enforcer is pretty rubbish.

The original XCOM games were great ( mostly UFO Defense then Terror then Terror From the Deep), though could be hard to get in as they are fairly old games. I's totally disregard Apocalypse, Enforcer and Interceptor if I were you.

Apocalypse is a bad sequel to the series, Enforcer a bad TPS based loosely on the UFO world and Interceptor a strange bad base building spaceplane fighting game.

XCOM Enemy Unknown is the proper successor to the original games and is a jewel. Enemy Within adds a lot of content and more tactical possibilities with a new plot element, overall a great (though damn expensive) add-on / expansion.

I enjoyed all the XCOM games I've played thus far so I would recommend the pack as well :)

Get it, get it, get it. This price is amazing and the game is great, especially with the Enemy Within DLC.

Missed a point blank shot at 97% to hit against an enemy as big as an elephant. 10/10 worth it.

where u find that deal?

I just won XCOM Enemy Unknown, been looking forward to that game for ages :) It was developed by Firaxis Games which also developed Civilization games (if it rings a bell for you)

Looks like it's an XCOM Collection sale on greenmangaming, though I see it as $19.99. Still incredibly worth it.

X-Com is one of my favorite games. Bought the pack to give to a friend, and I stole Bureau. Currently playing through that, and it makes me want to play EU for my third playthrough. I don't replay games, so that should really tell you how much I love that game XD

UFO Afterlife is something you should add to that list, also a indie game called Xenonaughts. Xenonaughts is pretty much like the old school x-com in terms of bullets being able to go throw walls and such. UFO Afterlife is a very underrated gem, has a few mods that really make the game a challenge or you can just enjoy it vanilla with a simple run through. In my opinion UFO AFterlife is the best of the UFO series that is xcom based.

It's a pretty good deal if you enjoy the genre.

Don't worry about the missing DLC; the best games on that list don't have any DLC in the first place.

If you like turn-based strategy games with a sci-fi flavor to them, this is a steal of a price. If you like such games and don't buy this pack at that price, you will be kicking yourself for a very long time to come.

Just make sure they all work on Steam if you're shopping for Steam games.

With The Bureau - XCOM Declassified and Enemy Within I say its worth it, would get it myself if not for the lack of funds and backlog.

Very Very Worth it.

I've put hundreds of hours into the original XCOM. It's a damn good game. The "new" XCOM is pretty damn well done as also. It's easily one of the best reimaginings I've ever seen in a game.

I'd never played a XCom game, nor even this style of game, but I played X-Com:Enemy Unknown on 360 about six months ago and was blown away. Its an awesome game, if you like sci-fi and tactics.

By the time I had progressed far enough to actually have a successful run through (and beat the game), I could see why people had some of the complaints. But supposedly, Enemy Within addresses pretty much all of those complaints.

If you like Sci-Fi, then that amount of content seems like a no-brainer for $15. If you do end up buying it, I could give you a couple basic pointers that should ease your learning curve. It can be really painful losing a great soldier (for me, it was Support. I just couldn't seem to have more than two total the entire game.)
