This is literally my most hyped game for next year. It'll be good, right?
>>322102218
It looks good so far, guess you will like it if you liked vanilla EU/EW
>>322103290
I wonder how it will compare with Long War.You know there will be a shitton of Long War shitposters in XCOM2 threads
>>322102218
>PC exclusive by Firaxis
have faith anon
>>322104117
I kind of wish Long War didn't exist so these threads wouldn't go to shit every time.
>>322104191
What about snekposters?
>>322104191
Got no issue with long war discussion
At least I can play that, xcom 2 is just hype
>>322104169
Mate their last game was beyond earth, lets all calm down
>>322104235
They can stay
>>322104117
LW is gutter trash compared to actually good overhaul mods like Jagged Alliance 1.13 or OpenXCOM
The problem is that its the only mod that people have for XCOM2012 so you gotta deal with it.
Thank fuck XCOM2 rolls around so everyone can drop that magnificent designed shit mod.
>>322102218
>Firaxis
what could possibly go wrong?
>>322104117
Definitely different from long war
>Humanity "enslaved" by aliens.
>They bring in new technology which helps us advance in many fields of our life.
>Ayyliens give me a job.
>Love the job that I have, make good money.
>One day on a way home accidently trip on a snek's tail.
>About to spill my spagetti
>She says that it's ok, and that their tails are sensitive so I should be more careful.
>See her everyday after work.
>One day I get all my courage and ask her on a date.
>The day finally comes.
>See on TV that X-COM terrorists blown the place I worked at.
>Look at the list of casualties.
>My snek is in there
>Now I have no gf and no job
>join the military to get revenge
>Sent on a mission to destroy X-CUM's base
>I am going there tomorow
>wish me luck /v/
>mfw
>>322104336
Long War is like 80% good design but the rest is so shit that it derails the experience
>>322104478
I agree wholeheartedly anon.
>>322104242
We should all play Jagged Alliance 2 for a month instead of long war
>>322104391
Wasn't funny the first time, isn't funny now.
>>322104391
Remember to not jump in their overwatch traps when they will break LoS
>>322104478

>>322104242
>Mate their last game was beyond earth, lets all calm down
Alpha Centauri (1999) - good
Civilization III (2001) - good
SimGolf (2002) - shit
Sid Meier's Pirates! (2004) - good
Civilization IV (2005) - good
Railroads! (2006) - shit
Civilization V (2010) - good
XCOM: Enemy Unknown (2012) - good
Civilization: Beyond Earth (2014) - shit
XCOM2 (2016) - ???
>>322104606
Xenonauts did the same thing, fucking awful air battles
>>322104613
Did they do starships?
Also Civ V wasn't that great at launch, it felt pretty inferior to IV
>>322104613
when the franchise has good track record and atleast 3 years apart from each other they tend to be gud
let hope that the case
>>322104613
Don't people realize that the XCOM team is completely different than the Civ team?
>>322104613
Arn't the developers of X-Com coming back anyway. They can't fuck up their own formular can they?
>>322104279
>>322104830
>They can't fuck up their own formular can they?
I don't know anon, can they?
>>322104935
pic unrelated?
>>322104692
I didn't count ported mobile shit.
They can't fuck up an XCOM. i mean they got all the ingredients from the first one, and they added features asked by the community (notably the overwatches)
>>322105006
>Create great series, then come back and ruin it.
Very related
>>322105063
>(notably the overwatches)
?
>>322104935
To be fair there was a large gap between the first three films and the second three. He may have just gone senile.
>>322105006
>starwars I-III
>indiana jones 4
>HOWARD THE DUCK
>>322102218
I expect it to be dumbed down a bit, maybe have less content the EW, but the new gorilla tactics look pretty nice.
>>322104613
>civ V good
>>322105181
Now when you overwatch, the soldiers fire one after another, and not autistically like in Enemy Unknown
>>322105158
he didnt use the same formular though
>>322105302
thank fucking god
>>322104613
>Civilization: Beyond Earth (2014) - shit
It wasn't a shitty game per se, it was a reskinned Civ 5 with less interesting leaders so there was no reason to play it over iv 5.
>>322105291
I think they fixed the vast majority of the issues with expansions, it was still a step back in alot of areas from Civ 4 though.
>>322105415
There was no innovations or inspiration to it. It was a hastily put together cash in.
>>322105496
Yeah it was cynical as fuck (and a worse game than V)
They knew it would remind people of alpha centauri, instead of trying to actually recreate that brilliance they slapped vanilla civ v on a new map with stuff arbitrarily rejigged
>>322105302
>Playing LW
>Put into team on overwatch
>Ayys come out in full force to buttrape me
>Entire team shoots at one ayy
>It takes only 2 team mates to kill it, other 5 are shooting at its corpse while there's 4 other ayys moving into position unscathed
T-thanks, team
It will suck for you because you're hyped.
>>322105929
They've fixed this in X-COM 2.
>>322105871
How well did it sell? Did most people see through it?
It's on a 60% sale on steam that can't be good.
>>322106096
The entire civ 5 game with all expansions is on sell for like 13$, don't cherry pick a single DLC.
>>322102218
It's going to be alright, but like a typical Firaxis game it'll be buggy as shit at launch and content/features that were in the previous game will be conspicuously missing only to be added back in with expansions
>>322106028
I know, and I also hope they aren't talking about their asses about setting up ambushes either because scouts + shotgun assaults were near useless in Xcom above normal difficulty.
>>322104613
>Railroads!
>shitI liked it
>>322106214
Yeah but BE is newer and recently had a large expansion pack released for it. Hell look at these player numbers.
http://steamcharts.com/app/65980
I'm more hyped for the eventual PC releases of other games that are already out.
I love getting those scraps! I'm like a dog waiting to clean off the plates of my owners!
>>322107996
How can you be so mad, ya'll niggas didn't even buy xcom:eu, why are you shocked by the PC exclusivity?
>>322107996
>get to play a game earlier, but with much lower quality
>PC gamers get to play game later at usually a much higher quality and a cheaper price tag
>Somehow PC gamers are the cucks
>>322106028
have they fixed enemies having free first turn too?
>>322109576
It's sort of random chance of them getting a free move or a shot at you. But since you start the game in stealth mode you get a good jump on them this time so it negates a lot of the free shit they get from the go.
This, Deus Ex and The Witcher 3 expansion are the only things i give a fuck about in 2016
>>322109576
yea its different
>>322107996
>Peasant brains can't endure strategy games and no one buys it on console
>WOOOW HOW COME YOU'RE NOT PORTING IT TO CONSOLE
>>322102218
It's probably going to be shit going by is seen so far.
>>322111083
From what I've seen it isn't.
They spot you, move immediately (their free turn), you complete your turn and then they get theirs. Just like in EU/EW
>>322105291
With the expansions, it's awesome.
Going full happy merchant mode in Brave New World is a good time.
>>322109904
>This, Deus Ex and The Witcher 3 expansion are the only things i give a fuck about in 2016
What about Mountain Blade 2?
>>322111826
That's not coming out until at least 2018
>>322107996
>tfw no WWE 2k16 pc port
