HAHA.

I've never played an X-COM game. I hear there was a demo, should I try it out?

No.
Get the original first. The demo doesn't do either game justice.

this is a fact and anyone who says otherwise is blinded by their nostalgia goggles

The new XCOM's out, guys! Updated graphics and mechanics, a single base, streamlined inventory management, and smaller squads of XCOM soldiers. I still think it's pretty darn enjoyable. I've gotten about 3 months in on Classic with Ironman mode enabled (preventing me from save-scumming). My memorial already has about 40-50 names on it, including a few sergeants and lieutenants. I named one of the living lieutenants 'Nutcase' after he panicked repeatedly during a mission as a squaddie and somehow shot dead 2 weakened Mutons with his pistol. I know the short demo might've turned some people away from it, but honestly, the full game offers so much more.

I felt it was worth it, personally. Spent my entire sick day playing so far.

The demo isn't worth your time. It's about an hour of scripted action.

then your opinions are bad and in conflict with superior authority therefore you should cease your opinions

I make a habit of giving all of my rookies the same helmet (which is always blue when you select it at first, to help donate rookie-ness) and default armour colour. Then, I rename them to "Meat" "#" with the "#" being whatever number of rookies I've had so far, I think I'm on Meat 16 now. Once they rank up they get to look forward to being renamed things like: Joe Hairyballs(a girl) Burly McMan(also a girl) 'Murica McFreedom. I'm so mature..=
