What kind of character will you be making in XCOM2
>>320935257
Probably a soldier who kills aliens.
My old squad from Xcom, maybe only 2-3 of them
Nothing but cuties ofc
I don't alter my soldiers aside from changing their hats/armortint when they earn a nickname in order to quickly glance at my squad and be able to know whos what class.
>>320936082
>/v/poster is actually a /v/ poster
Surprising nobody.
>>320935257
Please tell me fedoras are in.
>>320935257
whats it matter all the people i usually make at the start are dead by the end
>>320936667
Thats not the case in unmodded EU/EW.
Once someone reaches nickname rank, they will probably survive til the end.
>>320936667
You can make a bunch of people and save them to a pool that will get used in your games so future soldiers, vips, and stuff will be people you've created.

a lot of lolis

>>320936970
Military lolis? Fuck yet bro.
I know next to nothing about XCom but I've got a hankering for some alien vidya. My PC is pretty shit though. Would I be able to run it on this shitbox?Also, I didn't know that you could creator characters. I know so little.

I'll be filling my roster with as much military/mercenary stereotypes as I can.

maybe
obviously on low. i mean, what games can you run on that ? like im pretty sure if you can run tf2 you can run the xcom remake. xcom 2 might be a little more intensive. also i would recommend getting enemy within on sale to see if you like it,this new one is just building a few more mechanics on the old one.

I can't wait to cry bitch tears when my top soldiers who fought through the whole game die valiantly to a Thin Man from across the map.
>>320938690
Is there a manlier troop than this one?
I'm gonna have to try really hard to not suicide bomb the ayy lmaos while listening to allahu ackbar music
>>320939283
no joke, ive become more attached to my xcom characters than most characters in vidya nowadays

Did i mention his son become the head of Advent?
For some reason I couldn't stop getting female japanese snipers in EU. Maybe I'll do that.

Eugh. Laser and plasma weapon models in XCOM made me stop playing it.
>>320941518
Actually there is. once femen start looking like thinmen, you know you have a problem. They need to be thick but athletic, basically like Cammy from Alley Brawler
>Day 1 DLC

then don't post in the fucking thread you double nigger.

>>320941586

The only correct answer. I mean, you got a 'stache, you got a boonie, you got a hand-held minigun. Who else would you create other than Jesse "The Body" Ventura?

A team of these blokes.All xenos and their sympathizers will be purged.
>>320939986
yeah, same
getting attached to your character because of gameplay will always trump some narrative telling you "this is a cool guy, you like him"

Can I make a team that all look like this?
>>320935257
You don't make characters, they'll never be perfect. Just let them make themselves.
Best time I had in X-com was when my original A-Team were out from injuries after a council mission, so the rookie B-team roll in with just grenades and rifles to a UFO crash.
>Start of exchanging fire with thinmen outside on left flank.
>Realise that there's no way we can we, so we need to change up our tactics.
>We go hard right flank in a tight formation, rear troopers on overwatch to hold back thin men outside while front line breach UFO and move in.
>Assault UFO successfully, don't know how, killing all the grey's inside, clearing it room by room, corridor by corridor.
>Thin men outside eventually rush the UFO, rear-guard is ready and opens fire. Grenade just to be sure.
>Outsider causes some trouble, but doesn't last long either.
>Mission successful, no casualties. Can't believe it.
>They become the new A-team, leaving the rest on permanent R&R.
It was the best of times...
>>320942123
>>320942561
The great thing is that even though stuff like this won't be in the vanilla game, there will almost definitely be a mod for it.
>>320942183
VIGILO CONFIDO ONII-CHAN!
>>320942561
My man
>>320942198
>Oh yeahhh! VIKING TEAM!
Well melee weapons are confirmed so there will be "RAPE AND PILLAGE" and "Deus Vult" a plenty.
>>320942667
I sure as fuck hope so
>tfw the sympathizers beg for their lives at gunpoint and plead that they were forced into itor even better; they call you an alien term used by the xenos
>Customizing your soldiers beyond their outfits
Everyone comes as is, and they get a uniform. The more they fight, the more they change their outfit to reflect their personality.

>>320940085
>Oh wait I forgot this is now Xcom
Yeah, now you actually have to think and strategize instead of throwing shit at the wall until something sticks.
Don't worry, you'll always have OpenXCOM for your casual needs.
>>320941471
Of course it's unrealistic, you idiot.She's a robot.
>>320943854
It can't happen soon enough, I only hope it actually does.
>XCOM 2 is set mod tools powerful enough that Firaxis said it's literally what they use to create the game
Fuck
I thought it came out in january
>>320935257
A Russian Blackops team.
>>320946430
edgy
>>320935257
Probably characters, celebrities, and figures from the 90s.
Usually start with a FRIENDS, squad then make a Seinfeld squad, Drew Carey squad, etc. etc.
>>320941623
Alright I'm convinced this is some sort of shill for a company. Every thread the same exact fucking comment placed in the same exact position.
>>320941094
Which one?
I have all of them but I'm too lazy to start one and if I do it with the worng one I might never touch the games again
I fucking love 2D isometric SRPGs
>>320939986
>tfw remembering that one guy i left behind in a terror mission to draw attention from chryssalids so rest of the squad culd get out alive
>he didn't panic and managed to take down 2 chryssalids alone before being completely overrunI forgot his name...
I think I might make Mike "Snake" Hunt again. Mike Hunt was literally his generated name with the highest aim of any soldier I had.
>>320949332
Depends on how much you want the game to hold your hand.
Apocalypse is kinda infamous for it and TFtD sorta throws you on the deep end with cement boots on.
>>320949514
Well, I will trust the reviews and start with UFO Defense
Is that okay?
Long war worth a playthrough or is it overhyped?
>>320935257
How much do you get paid to make these viral advertising threads?
I like the fact that Xeno scum won the popular opinion trough a bunch of liberal retards, it makes the story 100% better for me.
>>320936386
Can I still make limbless cuties for the giant robots?
>>320950315
I like the latest trailer where a thin man is shaking a politician's hand with an ethereal behind him.

You only squat like a slav when panicked.
>>320951828
Oh yeah, duh. I've been facing off with muton elites so much I haven't seen intimidate in a while.
Express elevator to hell...
>>320952214
And half of them get killed with first contact with the alien.
>>320935257
No, my recruits are not getting "promoted" to 80's/90's action heroes until they DESERVE it. That guy's a rookie.
It would be heartbreaking besides. He's just gonna get shot in the face and die by some shitty, weak alien.
Or I guess you could go full on customization from the start and have a "Dirty Dozen" dream team of action heroes. It would get weird because you would have to pick and chose some, though. Or would it be acceptable to have more than one Curt Russel?
Maybe they are brothers or cousins or actual clones? Like an 80's action movie of Metal Gear? Like, one was a Trucker, and one was in NAM as a pilot, and the third became well... Snake?
You'd HAVE to get Childs, or someone like him in there if you had MacReady.
You could do a lot of things with Rambo, too. He could be "Shoot everything really loud" or quite stealthy. Maybe both on the same guy depending on the context.
>>320952214
Going down
So is it time for an action survival horror Aliens game yet? A more shooty populated Isolation? Or hell, what Colonial Marines was supposed to be?
>>320935257
I wish we could transfer are characters from xcom into this game would have been neat.
>>320953208
But anon your characters are all dead remember
>>320953627
even the ones I fired?
>>320953208
No one says you can't.
>See that rangers have an option to remain concealed while the rest of the team is spotted
>See that the sniper has a pistoleer option, can fire it once for free

Can I expect more cosmetic items via mods?

Absolutely. I'm even getting some assets all primed and ready to mod in, I'll be pretty disappointed if the SDK isn't ready day one.

>>320959391
Considering the classic action hero trope, probably. Couple of videos cycle through a lot of the pre-release list, probably in there.
Gantz total conversion when?
>>320952323
Just like most Xcom rookies.
>>320954054
Do you really think vanilla EU/EW is hard?
Are you brain damaged?
>>320950068
play it with cinematic mode and not so long war options.
it drags on quite ridiculously otherwise, there are simply not enough maps in the game to support the amount of missions it wants you to do.
