Great fun. Some programming glitches.

XCOM2 is true to the original storyline. It was great fun to play and certainly met my expectations. The XCOM series are my favorite turn-based games.
A couple of things that diminished gameplay:
1) There were some stutters and technical glitches with cut scenes and actual gameplay. Mostly annoying, but it was noticeable and occasionally halted play. I suspect they'll patch and update soon.
2) Multiplayer for XB1 doesn't exist. No matter how I tried, I could not enter, join, or host an online match in any way, shape, or form. I love multiplayer, and was really disappointed. Again, an upcoming update will probably include a fix.
3) Actions/reactions and their results during actual mission play were mostly random and unpredictable. This is as it should be. But when looking at the Bridge screens and participating in that part of the game, the progress was TOO predictable. I had no trouble telling when an emergency mission would pop up and require my attention. I finally got annoyed and sometimes just skipped over an "urgent mission" because it always got in the way of my soldiers' healing, research, construction, etc. Likewise, the timing of the game's progress on it's final countdown to disaster was also easily predicted.

I still really loved this game, and am going through a second run-through at a more difficult level. While this game (like most) has a linear story, the best part is the missions which have much more random play. This gives me a number of "what if" actions and reactions to try out from saved game files.
If you're a fan of XCOM, you'll overlook the glitches and hiccups. It's a great game, with hours of fun play.

This Roku TV is perfect at this price for what I wanted. I needed to mirrorcast my PP presentations from my android smartphone for a study group I lead. No external internet access is required (unless you incorporate online streaming audio or video). In other words, it DOES transmit point-to-point: from phone to TV.
The sound is clear enough for a small to medium sized room. Picture is really good.
And the fact that I have to sometimes transport it from one location to another is no problem. I just kept the original box (w/cutout handles) and the foam packaging.
The bonus is I still get to use it as a regular TV in my bedroom.
It's definitely not the absolute best model out there, but it really suits me fine; especially for the reasonable price I paid.
Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. It's much less expensive than a decent quality LED projector; and it has more functionality too.
