God, I was so hooked on this game. I remember hitting a point where I zen'd out and was pretty much unstoppable, and the only reason I let the run end is it was over an hour long and I was getting tired.

Is it compatible with Bone/Series or is it one of the games totally locked to the 360?

No clue, haven't thought about it for ages. I was the same way though, it's really hard to lose if you don't want to lol

Thanks. This is just a little 5 gallon tank for a betta. We only had the guy a little over a month but he got a fungal infection and just couldn't recover no matter how hard we tried. I think he died of starvation since he hasn't eaten in days. Right now the kid doesn't know if he wants a new one or not and he might want to go filter less if so which is a whole lot more work.

Anyway, sorry for bringing the thread down.

Did they get the ick? Where the fish has white bits on it like it's salted.

It's probably preferable if you still use a filter as long as it isn't moving the water too much since bettas like still water

No, we checked. He had a large cotton ball like mass on his tail that ate it away. Every bit of research and everyone we talked to said it was likely fungal.

Sadly, it was entirely our fault. The tank it was in was practically designed to be inhospitable to betta and it took me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out. By then it was too late. The poor guy would have had a better chance of survival in a stagnant bowl.

Yeah 2K is absolute poison for that poo poo right now. XCOM has managed to avoid it so far but IIRC Civ 6 is now a season based GAAS-lite. There's no way a Marvel one won't end up resembling one of the many Marvel phone gacha/scam games.

This game looks pretty cool but uuuuuuugh early access :negative:

Basically a mix of Tower Defense plus Fire Emblem. Thinking about it's it's kind of wild that basically the entirety of the SRPG genre has been about small-scale fights and hasn't really explored a game where every attack is AoE and you're fighting hordes of enemies.

But yeah, "marvel XCOM" sounds like another term for "Where is Tworrer from the deep"

Been playing a bunch of civ 6 lately and I have no idea what that means - the latest dlc thing was sort of a season pass thing, where you bought a big thing up front and they added stuff throughout the year, but thats a real far stretch from GAAS.

That being said, I am completely with you in having zero faith in whatever Marvel XCOM is, and I would love to be proven wrong!

This looks really cool, I dig it.


this *could* be good, and firaxis has been pretty good with the nu xcom, but I also have zero interest at all in Marvel so, I'm a bit salty.

To be honest I'd be more interested in a Marvel X-COM if it were about SHIELD regulars having to do cleanup.

e: or if it were just the Howling Commandos

e2: though I also completely understand why they wouldn't do something along the lines of "licensed property, but you don't play as the famous licensed characters and instead just the nameless nobodies in the background you know nothing about"
