That Xcom had your chance to hit set in stone before you fire.
It sayd 90% to hit. It's actually 0% because the game said so. No matter how many times you reload the save. It will always be 0%

0.3^4 = 0.1%
So you make a thread each time you get unique in diablo too?

I personally can't stand Long War, but whatever floats your boat.

If you want stories, I've got a pretty good one as well.
Get ready for the story Emeka "Expendable" Masango.

Nah man. i fucking despise the Xcom remake.
I only Play UFO defense and Terror from the deep.

Nfl Quarterbacks are a fucking thing, jesus.
Although I did play it several months ago, that shit was inexcusable.

Someone post bazinga thin man

>That zombie mission on Enemy Within
I was stuck on that shit for two days. Fuck chrysallids.

Why not play a superior game, UFO Aftermath?

>>318772837
That's bullshit and I know it from experience. Even when it stops re-rolling you can make subtle changes like swapping the order in which you made the same moves and it'll give you entirely different RNG. On top of that there's an option to allow save scumming.

>>318772837

Bro, do you even seeded RNG?

If a shot has a 90% chance to hit, then the probability generator rolls to see whether it hits or misses. However, the entire mission up to the point where that shot is taken can be tagged as a single seed. The pseudo-RNG is based on the contents of the seed. The 90% chance is correct but the shot's outcome will never change if you keep reloading the same save, because the RNG is determined by the same seed every time it's reloaded.

Go fuck yourself: The game

Is it better to play with one save or reload on long war?

I think you're mistaking what you see on the screen versus what's actually going on. Since the game is turn-based, it seems like your soldier's taking a point-blank shot at an alien that's standing still. If you wanted to adapt it to reality though, everything's in motion: the alien is bobbing and weaving.

There's an option you can turn on that lets you savescum everything

Good luck up there, my nigger.

RNG generated from a set seed will always be the same. By taking other actions you're moving down the sequence further, thus giving you a "new" chance
