There have been tons of XCOM 2 threads practically every day for the past month.
You just haven't been paying attention.
>>321398527
Xcom is doomed
What is the fascination with snake women? They're aliens, guys. You shouldn't fuck aliens.
>>321399693
>You shouldn't fuck aliens.
Sayeth who?
The AI seems pretty shit
Also this guy on the left, he looks so out of place.
>>321399784
Sayeth Jesus.
>>321399851
But Jesus was an alien himself.
>>321398094
Holy shit why
This is fucking /v/ not /pol/ you fucking autist
You're the reason we can't talk about fucking video games without getting into some shitty argument over muh politics
>>321399880
No he wasn't, but to go along with your argument I shall refute with this : Did anyone fuck Jesus?
Xcom 2 is going to rule. You know why.
Mod Tools.
No longer will the only mod be long war. No longer will they make the HOLY FUCKING UNQUESTIONABLE mod that we have to bend to if we want a different experience than vanilla.
You know what I fucking want? No more cheating aliums. A quick fix where aliums don't get a free move when spotted. Or, alternatively, I'm given a free move when I'm spotted. A very simple mod that you wouldn't ever get in Xcom EU.
>>321399960
Dude that hottie who was washin his feet got like 15 foot a that.
XCOM 2 threads are the best. I'm really looking forward to the game.
I heard that the devs are including a load of mod support for the game as well, which makes me even more happy.
>>321399970

They don't in 2

So you can just throw a bomb and kill them immediately? Just play on Easy already
>>321400081
They do.
>>321400121
There has to be a better answer then giving them free moves.
>>321400080
Man where the FUCK do you get this!

>responding to bait
Blame yourself fag
>>321399970
Aliens get free moves when spotted, but you also get to shoot them as well if you don't sprint everywhere. The system is meant to be ruled if you move from cover to cover without sprints.
>>321400256
>http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/579
Thank you.
>>321400326
So you get a single shot off on one alium from 100 yards away to avoid being spotted and then they all get a free move immediately afterward. I still say that's a bit fucked.
>>321400178
How about you get good and stop sprinting everywhere? There are so many ways to negate the aliens initial move to cover if you would just not fucking sprint everywhere.
>>321399970
>You know what I fucking want? No more cheating aliums. A quick fix where aliums don't get a free move when spotted
So what you want is a casual mode mod?
You know that easy option has always been there, son
>>321398094
>WE'VE GATHERED THE BEST OF THE BEST FROM AROUND THE WORLD
>one black guy and a chinese women
Bravo.
>>321400476
The issue is that they get a free move just because, regardless of whether or not you stepped around a corner to shoot or you crossed a LOS.
It's stupid and there has to be a better way than to just hand then a partial turn.
>>321400429
If you fight like that you suck balls. Try using a support sprinter to move ahead of the main group before the rest follow. If he triggers an alien, pull him back out of their range and set everyone on overwatch. The aliens will run into your ambush on the next turn. That's just one way to do it.
>>321400729
Or scout with an assault backed by a sniper with Squadsight+DoubleTap
>>321400579
So the aliens just stand there and you get free uncovered shots on them? Fucking easy mode.
Think about it this way, when the aliens run into your squad, they don't get free shots their turn either.
>>321400579
The alternative would be to have the aliens in cover already.
Xcom 2 does partially fix your gripe by adding a stealth element when you spot hostiles, which lets you set up an initial ambush. You can do this in Xcom 1 if you use the invisibility gene mods or armor.
>>321400946
>aliens

Nice joke.
Those cheating shits will sit there for 3 days straight waiting to get spotted before the budge a single inch.
Entire game is a joke.

>>321401425
Makes sense. Whites/Hispanics form the majority of grunt infantry and leadership in the US military, which is probably the most diverse (culturally) modern military there is. Probably fits closer to reality than not that the negro tries to get some POG job, and the Asians naturally take advantage of their superior average IQ.
Besides, would you really rather have arabs on the front lines instead?
>>321401265
Game publishers engage in social engineering all the time, particularly in the Jewnited States.

They're an insurgent force. It makes sense. You work with what you got.
>>321401672

>the ai seems pretty shit
There has been 2 good people who have played the game. Most of the rest have played it on easy. If you look you'll see some very good AI elements like that one were the mech destroyed the roof and sent 3 of XCOM soldiers down. If you also look you'll notice that from a distance the viper is likely to tongue pull and if failed poison which seems very good. Stun lancers have done what they're supposed to for the most part so far and you'll really start fearing them once there are advent shield bearers ready to give buffs to all the other advent and aliens
>>321402529
He's an idiot but you are too. He obviously means diverse.
Reminder that one of the customization options in XCOM 2 is an EXALT bandanna. Are you ready to become the Enemy Within?
>>321402302
>confusing multicultural with multiracial
lol, idiot.
>>321401672
>superior average IQ
They don't live in a SJW shit hole full of minorities and their IQ is a grand total of 2 points higher on average. Great stuff. I'm calling bullshits whites have always been the smartest on this planet. They have basically created every modern luxury you know, all your beliefs are instilled from them, governments around the world, etc. The jews are holding us down with the help of Satan.
>>321402364
there is literally nothing wrong with being liberal
>>321402302
Yes the US army isn't multicultural or else you would see terrorists killing in the name of allah.

It's called mental illness. Look at Yuropeans and all their sissy boys. They are liberal. Liberalism is for pussies. Conservatism is for men.
>>321401078
But that's correct, they expanded the capacity of the magazine by increasing the length of the clip inside it.

>>321403627

Haha sure bud, that's why the aliens were able to come together as a collective and explore the galaxy while humans are still using fossil fuels. Fuck off with that XCOM b/s

Why do people use GMG when sites like Kinguin and g2a exist? Do you enjoy paying double the price?
>>321405751
>missing the point this badly
>>321405751
I didn't say anything against BUYING from keysites, but PREORDERING from them just is even more retarded than preordering digital copies from a legit reseller.
>>321405818
GMG keys won't get deactivated.
>>321405829
What point? That I enjoy saving money? I have 900 games on Steam and I bought half of them from g2a and Kinguin - not once have I had a single issue. Stop being a dumb fucktard.
>>321405818
Because G2A can literally fuck you over without even refunding stolen keys
>>321406005
No they can't.
1) Both sites have buy protection
2) Any credit card company or bank will refund any sort of scam
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
>>321405925
Da fuk are you talking about? The one time FarCry keys got deactivated and then reactivated...out of BILLIONS of sales? Did you take your paranoia meds today?
>>321399881
Calm your tits kid, it was just a prank.
>>321404843
Pretty sure base location isn't randomized, but the map layout depends on difficulty
shame it didn't get finished and nobody is trying to make a spiritual sucessor
>>321406163
the only protection G2A and Kinguin offer is that if your key gets deactivated you get a new one which can also get deactivated etc.
>>321406163
Yeah just that for buyer protection on Kinguin/G2A you have to pay extra, and it even is a subscription service which you have to cancel in order not to pay every month.
>>321406163
>BILLIONS of sales
Ur dumb
>>321406352
Again, only one game has been deactivated out of literally billions of sales. You'd have to be a paranoid meth head to worry about something like that. Stop being retarded. Most sellers on Kinguin and g2a have 100% positive feed back out of hundreds of thousands of sales.
>>321406373
I haven't used buy protection once. It's for idiots that buy from sellers with 20% positive feedback. Buy from top sellers and you'll never have to use it.
I thought people had common sense but I forgot what site I was on.
>>321406373
>Subscription
Wait what? Using the shield subscribes you?
>>321406373
And it's not a subscription service. There's options for single purchase.

Nope, he is just being a tard and trying to spread misinformation because he is butthurt Steam rips him off daily.

>>321405913
Sometimes the early preorder price is way cheaper than the hike on release.
I got MGSV for like 25 dollars and it was hiked up to 40 on release.
I have like 130 hours on EU and EW, so what the fuck is so good about LW eh?
>>321409259
its really not great
there's 2 awful parts to it for every good part
>boss enemies
>just larger sprites with 4-10 more bars of health slapped on
>late game thin mints
>they're better than your max rank soldiers and they're rank and file
>>321409259
Its not as good as certain autistic individuals would have you believe.
While I enjoyed it for about 100 hours, I'd advise everyone to steer clear of it since XCOM2 is so close.
In short LW adds a lot of great things. The new classes, new items, new weapons, new weapon tiers, steady aim, etc. Theres a lot of good stuff.
However then there's a massive amount of grindy shit that nobody asked for. The airgame in general, innate defense, retarded DR in certain situations like flying enemies, stupid length, questionable abilities on enemies, list goes on.
The modders were people who knew everything about the base game, and made the mod to those who know everything. I myself was someone who played vanilla on I/I a couple of times, but LW just eventually made me quit due to the awful grindy nature of it.
Check it out if you want. At first you'll probably be in awe, but that will pass and you start to get irritated by the shitty bits.
>>321400080
We managed to get Long War with no mod support. Now the devs are including mod support because they'd love to see what kind of craziness we could make with their cooperation
Based Solomon, based Firaxis. Legitimately some of the only devs who enjoy their own game and want their fans to enjoy it
>>321410104
Even with mod support we'll just get another long war.
No one wants to make models, animations, textures, sound effects to the level of the base XCOM 2 game, people that would do something like that are skilled people, and those develop videogames, not mod them.
People like to say modding is dead but fail to realize that the amount of effort to make something that wouldn't look out of place in a game from 10 years ago and now is completely different, I can't even begin to imagine the amount of time required to make the animations for a single enemy if you're a modder.
>>321410368
I'm cool with another long war mod. It is pretty unreasnable to expect massive mod overhauls, but a big .ini edit package is nice too to change things up. I'm just hoping we get better skill trees with a mod since the two-branch skill trees we've seen in xcom 2 so far are underwhelming.
I'm just happy that they have procedural maps. Will add so much more replayability if the maps are good
>>321411507
Nigga have you looked at the demo videos, i've seen the same map at least 3 times among different youtubers
>>321411682
I don't think the blacksite map was procedural.
I really do hope that their idea of procedural is more than swapping out a few benches and flower pots

Sure, Long War has some dumb bullshit in it, but you can easily change a lot of the grindy stuff (not sure how much) by editing a few numbers lines in some LW text file - check XCOM General and the LW wiki.
