i feel like we didn't get to know da silva or nils enough before they died. like we have one conversation with dasilva before he disappears for like 3 missions then he dies. nils doesn't even get one. the asaru twist is the best thing about the game and you can tell because it's the only part people still talk about
Originally they tried to move the entire XCOM franchise into something like this, or more elaborate than this. The game didn't take and then XCOM 2 blew everyone away and stuck with its turn-based origins. I really enjoy The Bureau, even if some of the aliens have vertical mouths and the story strayed FAR from the original lore. However, as a standalone, the game is decent and deserves more love. Like I said in the video, I like to view it as an alternate timeline or universe, it helps me sleep at night haha.
Actually this game bought me subscribing to your channel I was wondering why people hate this game I search some explanation and stumbled to your one of your videos about "THE BUREAU" I played this for the first time last august all you said in this video is exactly im feeling when I finished the game the video is well said explained hopefully some people do play this game with indeed fresh eyes.....
For the hate, I think it's a mix of it being a "worse" 3rd person shooter than mass effect, it isn't turn based and the release dates were delayed and the final product didn't live up to people's expectations. Playing it in 2023 makes all the difference, it may feel slightly dated, but it still holds up :)
I swear the only real reason people don't like this game is because its not a pure strategy game like the rest of series. Which is good for me. XCOM is complex af.

Damn, and to think this was my first introduction to the X-com brand back on my PS3, fun times
Definitely a fun game
I thought it was a pretty good type of prequel to the main xcom series

I remember seeing my brother play this once. Always wondered what it was actually like.
Honestly, it's a game you've got to play for yourself. I hope this video is a good starting point as to what expect and I barely gave anything away.

Super happy it brought you here! Scarab did a fantastic job with this video for sure, even convinced me to try it out lol

@@nimblemonster You have to cover it now hahaha
I had so much fun playing this game, and I loooved the setting!
I like it but its not my favorite X-Com spinoff. That's Interceptor. I think this needed a wider weapon selection though and woukd love a sequel.
I bought this for 3$ today and max payne 3 for 7$ on xbox today merry Christmas 🎁🎄
@therealamon Merry Christmas to you too! Have fun with the games
Huge Xom fan. I never played this. I am one of the many who shunned it. I am now ready tho I think.

You so sir instead of so
Day 1 of commenting this "NimbleMonster needs to play and cover The Bureau: Xcom Declassified"
Quicker to just read the comments that wade through 20 minutes of fluff and back story. Just get one with reviewing the game.
Not the worst xcom game because enforcer is the worst
The alien fighting video game who eschews women because.. that wouldn’t be realistic.
