You know csebal, a game sucks as much as the player lets it to. That's about all i can say about your oppinion that "this game sucks" is valid.
Let me tell you this, buying or not buying, who loved xcom and wanted to finnish it again, in a more maneagable interface, but keep the original's flavor, he can safely play UFO:ET and enjoy it. But who wants to play a game that takes and improves the ideas that the original XCOMs had, he might enjoy more the UFO:AL. UFO:AL is not a bad game, very far from it, it's just a different game than this one.
Btw, realise this, it's harder to copy a game to perfection than to take the ideas and improve on them. This game is the exact copy of XCOM1, with it's bugs and gameplay wierdness, so, apart from the thing that you can't exactly sack your soldiers, you're playing XCOM in a, let's say, year 2k style graphics(i didn't say 2007, cause...wth, these are not 2007 graphics).

So, basically, you allegedly told us the game would suck, but that it could also be as good as the original. Man, Nostradamus is a n00b at predicting, compared to you. 
Let me give it a shot...
In 349 days, it will rain in Los Angeles! But it could also NOT rain!
I already feel special.

No matter how you try to deny it, but apart from the year in which the game was made, every single attribute of XCOM is greater/better than that of UFO:ET. It is not hard, considering that UFO:ET only tried to copy XCOM, which evidently resulted in making an inferior product.
Can it be enjoyed? Sure it can.. hell i can enjoy tic-tac-toe even for a while, especially if i force my mind to do it, to save my face. |
You still liked the Aftershite series which pretty much renders your opinion on the genre moot. UFO:ET may be a bit of a disappointment, but it's still 10x better than any of those garbage games are.

Afterlight was actually pretty good if you give it a good run.

Don't know about you guys but I've been playing it near solid since 6 this morning, I just cant put it down, its just like x-com in that the further you get in the game the more addictive it becomes, Ill be dreaming of piggin aliens tonight.

is there actually a goal in the game? i build a base in every country, and am in the techtree with all the particle weapons. but still nothing like a special mission like in the previous ufo games.

Try capturing a commander.

Hehe, always send raptors first to a landing site and keep them there until your Raider has landed.

I tried it and it works, you have to follow the installation order to the letter because the install is in russian, but you can select it to install the english version.
Oh and has anyone else problems with the screen stuttering when youre on a mission?

you will find out how to make new craft (one of which takes ALOT of individual bits built one at a time-like engine section,weapon control,hibernation suite) this will then let you travel to the aliens homeland(i think) i am not sure about if the ship is to escape or to take the fight to the aliens homeworld,as i am just at the building parts of it stage atm

yea i just captured another commander, like mentioned above, und now i built all the individuals except the generator. i think i need to capture some more commanders, as i already captured like 7 or so since i started building the items for the new ship.

Try turning off the AA in the options and updating your graphics card drivers
