The Bureau - XCOM Declassified

[PhreeMe]

It wouldn't make much of an interesting game progression if you started with all of the advanced weapons up front. They need to use plot mechanics a little at least.
And if you notice, the secret organisation that gives you the jobs and runs each country is actually well established. It is only you as the commander, and your head scientists that are new. I think the scientists need to fall into the same plot mechanic because they are actually the ones with the technology.

I fully get the progression thing, but while the organisations may be organised, they sure don't give you a base of operations that would suggest that... Effectively same argument as the weapons.

I love this franchise and always will.... I was just saying it seems odd that you always start with nothing

I sadly can't link the vid from work, but if you haven't already, you should watch the Progression video. I am overall happy with how it's changed. ESPECIALLY with the addition of perma-death. Would not be XCom without it.

+1 to that.
It's one of the things that make the Xcom/UFO series so unique and great. Also that they can be really hard and difficult at times.
