But do not delay, the world needs you more now than ever before, Commander! If you ever want to play EU, you should play it first, this game is pretty much a huge upgrade in every area and honestly I can't see myself every going back to EU at this point.
I am loving it. That's not to say EU isn't good though and as I said, if you do want to some day play it regardless, I'd say play it first or XCOM 2 will "spoil" you and it won't seem as good. I actually think EU's weakness is in replayability, your first game will be awesome but even in your first game you'll start seeing the same maps over and over and it gets very boring.
Well base building wise In XCOM 1, you have to build satellites in order to cover countries to reduce panic and keep your allies. Which makes it more difficult money wise.
You also have to build birds to protect those countries. XCOM doesn't have those things. However, XCOM 2 is much more difficult atm combat wise. Most of the missions you're on a timer and you have to reach your objective before it ends up. Which is kinda difficult to do on higher difficulties. Right XCOM 2 is a bit of a mess imo. Get the first one it's cheap and it's great.
Play it for a week while they patch the new one. You've got the cocksure woman leaning back with a shotgun resting on her shoulder. The twitchy sniper jerking his head around to spy danger in every corner.
The uptight, improbably stiffbacked senior officer. The slumped defeatist. These don't just play a role in posey pre-battle screens, but actively affect how you design and characterise your squad.
Yeah, that pose totally needs to be paired with a cigarette in the mouth. She's getting a bandanna. Joe Cool over there needs some hipster shades.
Cowboy hat right here. Scars and tats on her. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire XCOM. Even being messed up seems absurdly heroic. After a battle, you see all your guys stride out of the Skyranger towards the camera. Just as they reach it, anyone Wounded suddenly sags, their energy spent.
Anyone Gravely Wounded falls to one knee. The message is clear: we've held our pain back for as long as we had to. Only now that the battle is done will we succumb. Even then, sit and watch and they'll lift their heads, look around, as if ready to go back out there if they really have to.
Helicarriers will arrive in a short cutscene, dust-clad and light-beaming, from which heavily-armoured human-alien hybrid soldiers will jump and thump to the ground. It's not just "oh the script says some new guys pop-up now", it's "they're bigger and stronger and have infinite resources and they're coming for you. Be afraid. Feels good. One of the overall concepts of XCOM 2 is that your most senior soldiers are not just random joes, but the real stars of the story. Until they get themselves killed, at least.
So the Half-Life 2-esque main menu screen will display one of your best units crouched in an action pose, ready to go mess up some Advent goons. I didn't even notice at first, because my Rookies and Squaddies all had nondescript hair and nondescript beige or olive armour, so I thought I was just seeing a generi-unit. Then suddenly my best Ranger, who looks like Robyn and Guile had a lovechild who grew up to be really, really into happy hardcore, was all over the front page.
Ready for action, making the game mine. Related to the above, your longest-serving officers start showing up on in-game Wanted billboards. It's a little touch, but one which makes you think you're really achieving something.
The aliens are afraid of you. You might actually save the world.
