      Game was created mobile port in mind

        Then why did it take 4 years for a mobile port to come out?
        They only put it on mobile after making a switch port and realising “oh this could probably run on most modern phones too”

              Like I said it was created the phone in mind. It took time to poet because of hardware restrictions but the game was developed that in mind

                How?
                If Xcom 2 was “designed for mobile” despite not getting a mobile port until 4 years after release, surely that applies to these games too.

                xcom EU had a mobile port within a year of release.

                Just because the modern Xcom games have a mouse interface that can fit well on a touchscreen doesn’t mean they were “designed for mobile”

                Deus Ex also had a console port so it's a console game, right? Frick off, moron.

    >XCOM2
    >game where you wage guerilla warfare against aliens occupying your planet
    >all the enemies are aliens
    >the human enemies are vat grown human-alien hybrid mind slaves that you can kill without remorse
    >no missions showing the grim reality of fighting a war against your own people who think you're evil
    >no aliens using humans as shields forcing you to make tough decisions
    A very post 9/11 game.

      They were more interested in having a saturday morning cartoon vibe than anything too dark/gritty. It's the main reason I liked XEW and OG more

    >try XCOM 2

    >can't skip turns so if I accidentally trigger a pod through terrain my units get flanked and fricked
    This is moronic. I lose soldiers which I can't avoid because I can't keep one movement point in reserve to keep units from being flanked
