you know, i would totally take this offer if i was a PC gamer    so anybody who is ought to take advantage 

and just so we're clear, this is nothing like your classic XCOM turn based stuff, but that's not a bad thing  

....and for the record, i rather enjoy me some turn based XCOM, soooo.... 

Yeah it's more TPS (third person shooter) than a strategy game compared to the usual XCOM games.
That's how I prefer it anyway.
Haven't played the other XCOM games, though.

It's up to you if you want to redeem it
anyway, if you decide to one day do PC gaming.
Although, as you get older, there tends to be less time
for games.

It's a 16+ age rated game, sometimes it has bad language,
blood, etc.

As if any of us here care about this anymore.

Come on Xtremists, go go go!

Do it.

I'd play but I'm not sure if my laptop would want to. I mean I've come a long way graphically since 2008 but not enough to play Skyrim with more than a few small mods... Oblivion isn't much better and that's 5 years older...

EDIT:

It involves agents fighting aliens....now what game does that remind me of?
(I gotta stop making this FF joke. )

Actually it makes me think more of Men in Black... like I know that's not a game but still. X and Hom as two MiB agents. Also I the XCom part makes me think of something you'd make, X. I mean this does seem perfect for you...

Oh I will.
I may even record it (when I learn how to record games again with little/no lag ).
OBS seems like a good recorder but I can't get it to work properly (black screen problem).


Just the atmosphere itself would be awesome lol.
It would feel like I'm actually playing Co-op with you guys.
My new computer has an integrated graphics card (not suitable for proper gaming )
so I'm in the same boat as you lol.

I haven't tried the game on this PC but
would guess I'd have to use low settings at 1080p....I'll give it a try.

If I were you, I would just redeem the Steam code (and activate it on my Steam account) and use it one day.
Although, you could in the mean time, just
put the game settings on the lowest. (maybe even lower the resolution if necessary).
If you haven't already redeemed it....run.
It says there's 15 hours until the promotion ends.
(Activate it on Steam as soon as you redeem the code on Humble Bundle,
because I don't know how things expire on it....all I know is,
you're safe if you activate the serial key/code on Steam....it then remains in
your Steam library forever.)

Lol cannot unsee now.

EDIT: whoa....just imagine if (on top of renaming the squad teammates)
there was a way to mod the look of the characters.
Like white hair for X, Dexter-like glasses for Oliver, blindfold for Hom, etc.
We would have an Xtremists game right there.
Battling Fuse's minions, except we'll pretend the CIA headquarters (in the game)
is actually the Xtremists headquarters.
