Now, her and my current girlfriend, a new recruit, are on the same squad. And Enemy Within is actually a touch harder than Enemy Unknown was. So what do I do? Get her killed on purpose? She’s a good sniper, so it’s a tough call. I could just rename her, but I feel it breaks the theatre of the game to do that. For example, my ex-girlfriend is my best sniper. Naturally, when I play XCOM, I rename all my soldiers to people I know. I’m enjoying it, but because I’ve loaded an old save file, it’s presenting a few dilemmas. I thought I should do that before throwing myself at XCOM 2, with its nine million things to micromanage. That is, with the mechs, deadly new aliens, that sort of thing. It was no Dragon Age 2.Īnyway, here’s a filthy secret-I’ve been denying myself a proper XCOM 2 campaign since the game released, because I’ve never finished an Enemy Unknown campaign with the Enemy Within stuff installed. I think I gave editing this magazine a solid shot, for a 25 year-old with no qualifications who didn’t know what he was doing. We did slightly too many lists when I was editor, but damn, each issue was packed with features.
I’m reading them while I’m supposed to be packing to move to Brighton. You never know, I might write a Now Playing for issue 400, before complaining about the cover price on Instagram (this is an inside joke).Īn office PA annoyingly threw all my old PC Gamer issues out, so I’ve been perusing the few I’ve got at home.
In fact, it’s the last thing I’m writing for PCG full-stop, at least for now. This is my last Now Playing for PC Gamer. The social politics of naming your XCOM: Enemy Unknown squad-Samuel Roberts Let us know what you're playing at the moment in the comments. This is also the last thing former UK editor-in-chief Samuel Roberts wrote before departing to some strange otherworldly plane called 'Brighton'. Sometimes they're strange meditative woodworking sims because, sometimes in life, you've just gotta build a nice birdhouse. Sometimes they are old-ish games we've been meaning to reinstall for ages, like XCOM.
In the monthly 'now playing' section of PC Gamer magazine we spend a few pages discussing the games we've been playing recently-good or bad.
