The Bureau: XCOM Declassified DLC plans revealed

Does this game still has the Same-Sex and Civil-Rights sub-plot, which is supposed to take up 90% of the story? It had something about a Same-Sex a scientist saving the world.

***gamer.net: I commented that it sounded like XCOM was really more of a 60's period piece that happened to use aliens as a catalyst to bring out the social climate.
Jordan Thomas/ 2K Marin: "As a narrative guy, absolutely. To both mutate and express the inner conflicts of the period."

I cant believe consumers are still dumb enough to believe that developers don't purposefully cut material from the core game in order to sell it as DLC later.

meh

It looks like 2K may be making some people's s**t lists.

**** me i love XCOM but this is??Dlc's talk??lol GS really knows how to angry a bee hive

eh 1962 was the end of the cold war ?

failed history and grammar class I see Eddie ?

Can companies PLEASE stop talking about DLC plans BEFORE a game is released???

I mean seriously, that alone gives gamers the impression that things are being left out of the original game so that they can be put into DLC. We KNOW you're doing it, but the LEAST you could do is not talk about it. It's bad enough that you're trying to screw us like that, but you don't have to hit us in the face with it after you're done...

Well, you just lost one customer. Hope the exclusive deal pays enough to pan out for lost sales.

DLC exclusives are, pardon me, retarded.

I said it before and I'll say it again.

No point having the name 'X-COM' on a game that doesn't share the same gameplay or even time setting as a traditional X-COM game. Just call it The Bureau.

Waiting to see on this one... 2K Marin put out some seriously good stuff in the past, and we already got the true XCOM game.

Funny no one cared when Ubisoft did this for PS3 with all their games.

Hey Gamespot, the Cold War didn't end in 1962 it ended when the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. 1962 was the year of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

so...exclusive day one, overpriced and useless DLC. yep smells like M$

Couldn't care less for this game. I loved XCOM EU but this looks terrible

It seems most people dont have any idea about making games. Now most of the game can be ready and you people think they just want to give them money doing nothing. The same people are making DLC to the game. Sure they could give the extra content free to every one. I think that game maker are greedy but I dont mind that. I cant understand why they are making exclusive content to some system and not other. This is insane.

@skunkpants Where have you been?

3rd person cover based shooter with the XCOM tag smacked on the front.

And as if that wasn't unconvincing enough, upset everyone by announcing DLC pre-release.

It's up to us to make this sort of stuff fail.....so, let's !

Why does every developers do this? Make DLCs which could already be in the game. I'm sick of these greedy corporations.

"Multiple story-focused expansion packs..."

I guess I'll be waiting for the 'complete edition' then, assuming the game is any good.

Can we at LEAST have the game before you start moneypacking it in?

And oh joy timed exclusives. Interest is Dropping like a rock 2k.

ok!

not buying anymore

@eddienoteddy

You have an error in you article. The first sentence of the sixth paragraph says "The Bureau is set in 1962 America at the end of the Cold War." It should read "The Bureau is set in 1962 America at the height of the Cold War."

so laughable, what a crock of shit.

fine then, do xbox eclusive shit
this will just be one of those games i wait for to have the complete edition to come out

This DLC exclusivity balderdash needs to stop!!!

I'm let down, not buying this.

First expansion of an XCOM game coming to a console as an exclusive. Way to change my curiosity into a $10 Steam sale purchase real quick.

Hope they support their game better than Firaxis did theirs...
