Would be hilarious if the expansion to Xcom 2 would be terror from the deep.
>>323581595
Not sure it's even possible at this point without major work.
UI and gameplay was built around precision only a mouse can give. They'd have to gut it and kill the difficulty to get it on consoles.
Plebs should just get a PC.
>>323581595
Xcom sold 114k copies on console, why isn't there 114k signatures? Or even 100k or 50k or not even 10k?
There is no demanding market for it.
>>323582449
Is not just the gameplay, the art style is also oriented for PC, is why guns are normal size instead of giant cartoony nerf guns and the characters aren't gorillas like the first one.

>>323580125
xcom has like a billion difficulty settings
there is absolutely no reason anyone should think that the game being hard is a flaw
>>323578839
nice, they ripped that design straight from mgs2 geckos. even the "stand up super straight and wiggle a bit" animation
>>323585253
>It's just a mess of falseflagging, best to not pay it any mind.
This should be /v/'s new tagline.
>>323580125
Holy shit, the shit posters who suck at video games are ALREADY back! I remember when people bitched about Xcom EU because it was "too hard" or "RNG" or whatever nonsense
>>323578839
Great. I can't wait to be really pissed off by whatever bullshit that things pulls.
Not like all the other shit they announced isn't going to just rape the shit out of me...I am excited

I wish I would've had more self control.
Xcom threads are hot this week, thank God.
Three questions :
1. How to fight the Berserkers
2. Are SHIVs any good
3. Should I consider giving one of my Assaults an assault rifle, and if so, is the left or right tree better?
>>323590252
They literally revealed almost all the aliens. There's probably only 1-2 aliens left to be revealed.
It's not your fault anon.
>>323590618
1. Shoot them until they die.
2. Yes, but only if they have at least self-repair
3. The left one is saver, but always choose Rapid Fire. Rifles and Shotgun have their uses.
>>323590618
>1. How to fight the Berserkers
it take a few step toward anyone who shoots it. so you can bait around
>2. Are SHIVs any good
For Shits and giggles yes. But mechs are superior in every way.
>3. Should I consider giving one of my Assaults an assault rifle, and if so, is the left or right tree better?
Yes. unless using a unit for double shotty abilities/stuning.
>>323591312
>But mechs are superior in every way
Except for price. Shivs don't eat up your precious meld.
>>323591535
>precious meld
gene mods are dirt cheap/inferious to mech.
WTF are you hoarding your meld for?
snek tiddies
>>323579149
'scuse me m8 I think you dropped this
>>323592226
Careful Mods are hating on sneks in xcom threads lately.
>>323591121
>>323591312
Cool, thanks, though I did fuck up and went straight left and right for the only two I have. I also don't have MECs yet. I swear, RNG hates me in this game. I have 2 snipers, 2 Assaults, 2 Supports and 6 fucking Heavies. Might have to buy a soldier or two.
Also, what's meld?
>>323585229
>I make up lies and put a smiley face at the end to make them look legitimate. :)
>>323592536
I want to fuck the Faceless!
>>323592501
Do you play Xcom: Enemy Unknown, or Xcom: Enemy Within ?
Heavies are awesome, i have always 2 in my teams, sometimes 3. Rocket anything what you see.
>Bradford says that after beating the aliens on Earth they should use the avenger to invade the alien planets
>No Bradford you are the aliens
>>323592501
If you have Enemy Within its a collectible item on every map with a limited time to pcik up.
Used to make Mehcs and Gene mod solders.
>>323592616
anon, that would certainly kill you.
Not like fucking the snake where there's a slim possibility it's mouth doesn't have those weird ass teeth snakes have in real life, no, this shit would kill you for real.
>>323592991
>bradford ever being wrong

>2. Are SHIVs any good
Only en-masse.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k2PVBl6kKA
>>323590618
>Are SHIVs any good
Yes but only if you upgrade them. They are vastly underrated and can save your ass after a squad wipe on ironman mode
>Should I consider giving one of my Assaults an assault rifle
Assault rifle are safer but shotgun are stronger. However you need to be very close to be accurate with the shotgun so it's a high risk, high reward thing
>>323592501
>Also, what's meld?
A ressource in EW.
If you don't know what it is I'm guessing you're playing EU so there's no MEC class or gene mod.

Yeah, rocketing everything to death is fun and all, but right now I need their shit and the hot doctor says not to blow them up. Also my Heavies don't hit shit and it's really annoying. Maybe I spent all my RNG goats on Warframe.

MELD is present only if you're playing Enemy Within, in which case it'll show up in most UFO and EXALT missions.

>>323593670
> Still on Enemy Unknown
Theres an expansion pack to Xcom enemy Unknown called Enemy Within.
Its the same game but just with extra content are theres zero reason to play enemy unknown over enemy within.
>>323593670
God, that Vahlen "dont play somthing up" trap... dont hear at that, dead aliens are more important than some weapon fragments.
There is no need for EW anymore, save the money for Xcom:2
>>323594368
I dunno, I think the systems Enemy Within dumps on you in the early game are a little overwhelming, id say to start with EU and at least get to the mid or lategame before switching
>>323593284
Sorry for enjoying video games.
>>323594653
>this is the average gamer now a days
I hate to see you play Ufo Defense.
>>323580125
XCOM 2 is really not going to be any harder than EU/EW unless that is you were so shit at it that you just slowly crept up and overwatch in nearly every situation and don't know how to make actual decisions for yourself. If you're too reliant on soldier promotions than you will also be hurt by xcom 2.
>>323593904
The second wave setting makes ALL flanking shots criticals, and the beauty of shivs is you don't give a shit about cover so its flanking all day. Hover shivs literally rape everything in sight.
Can see trouble against shit like sectopods though, the DPS without crits just can't take it down fast enough.
>>323593249

>>323594795
I just think the way it dumps meld, MECS, and Augments on you at the same time EU is dumping its own shit on you all at once is disorienting for a new player mang
Hopefully this time they won't lie in their percentages to hit and be hit.
>>323594875
Despite the description it "only" raised the chance to make a crit to 100% (from 50%) meaning you could still not crit against enemies with crit resistance skills.
>>323595212
It also applies against you.
>>323595465
>vgchartz
>>323595470
To be fair there was not much to do in EU for the first bit. and even with EW you still have limited choices.
>>323595465

>retail PC version
Thanks for outing yourself shill. http://steamspy.com/app/200510
Try this idiot. Now match that with the retail versions of the console games that your beloved vgchartz has. Steam top played games alone destroy that it only sold .69 million on PC. Stop using a source that doesn't even include downloads about a platform predominately based on downloads.
>>323595465
>vgchartz
>physical PC version
>on a platform that is vastly dominated by non-retail versions and downloads
>still outsells consoles
Thanks for proving our point.
So in short, buy hover SHIVs and give one of my Assaults a assault rifle, cool? Cool.
Other stupid questions : outside of satellite coverage and abductions, there's no way of reducing panic, right? Arr Engineers are more important that scientists, do I stick armor on literally everyone, why am I always so broke( $573 a month, not counting corpse sales), is Chitin armor worth shit, is the Plasma Rifle and pistol the only one that drops from stunned enemies, Lasers vs plasma?
>>323582449
XCOM : EW has controller support, and it's pretty good, (although i agree that other firaxis titles can NEVER be ported on consoles)
>>323595538
>never played Fire Emblem
>>323596325
heres a hintthe country that gets panic no matter what you do is where the alien base is
>>323596460
I did the alium base already, that worldwide panic reduction saved my ass. I'm guessing there's more than one.
>>323595538
It only lies on normal and below because it uses a PRNG there. On Classic and Impossible it uses a straight RNG.
>>323596450
I played that 3ds one.
>>323596687
oh there's only one ayy base sadly unless you count the last mission
plasma does most damage
you can get heavy plasma guns from mutons
>>323593284
>not playing both
The original X-COM is one of my favorite games of all time and I still really like XCOM, even when it was pre-EW.
>>323596859
Is it better to play on a higher difficulty than Normal then? I'm not great at them anyway and I'm concerned I'll just fuck that up anyway.
>>323593284
>I always preferred TFTD
>>323596325
>buy hover SHIVs
High ranking soldier will usually outperform them. Buy them if you get squad wiped
>Arr Engineers are more important that scientists
Yes.
>do I stick armor on literally everyone
If you can afford it.
>is Chitin armor worth shit
No
>is the Plasma Rifle and pistol the only one that drops from stunned enemies
There's a total of 4 plasma weapon that you can drop.
>Lasers vs plasma
Laser is tier 2, plasma is tier 3 tech.
If you're playing on normal or below you can try to ignore laser tech and rush plasma tech for a big technological advantage. It can also be done on classic with some luck.
>>323596325
Council missions grant panic reduction, shooting down UFOs and raiding them I think grants panic reduction, assaulting the alien base gives one-time GLOBAL panic reduction so it's good to use tactically.
Engineers let you build higher tier facilites and shit earlier, good for rushing to satellite nexuses (2 nexus + 2 relays in a square = global coverage potential).
If you don't put armor on people, they WILL get one-shot.
Until you get good satellite coverage and the All In nation bonus, being broke most of the time is normal.
Mutons will start carrying actual plasma rifles for you to loot later on (and heavy floaters), so try to get some off them instead of making them youself cause they're not cheap. Chitin armor is ok as a placeholder item, mainly when you get the double item slot upgrade from the Foundry. I usually slap a scope on everything because +10 aim is always, always useful.
>>323597324
What are the plasma weapons? I know there's the pistol and rifle, and the ones sectoids use.
Also should I buy the Will upgrade? Seems rather not useful.
>>323597994
will helps you against mind control
>>323597994
Will upgrade is for psionics later. Higher will = more chances to get a psionic. I hate that mechanic, because your soldiers, who served the whole time under your command have low will at the end, and you must train new people who get more will into psionics... god thanks this want be anymore the case in Xcom:2
>>323597994
Light plasma, pistol, rifle and heavy.
There's other plasma weapons but they are not droppable, you must research and buy them.
>>323597994
There are 5 man-portable plasma weapons. Pistol, light plasma rifle (grants +10 aim, good for leveling shitty aim rookies), plasma rifle, heavy plasma (heavies only), plasma sniper (you have to build this one since no aliens carry one, sniper only). There is also an endgame shotgun, the alloy cannon, which is only equippable by the assault, and it does something like 20 damage on a crit.
>>323595465
>vgchartz
>>323581450
I dont know how anyone could complain about games difficulty when TFTD exists, and that games amazing.
>>323596859
>On Classic and Impossible it uses a straight RNG
Oh? What algorithm do they use to generate true random numbers?
>>323582909
why would they make those things for consoles?
>>323598070
Really? Sign me the fuck up then, because mind control is balls. I got fucking squad wiped because my sniper got MCd in the base with Double Tap. Fuck that.
>>323598335
IS there a way to tell who has what? I never got the heavy rifle and I need 6.
>>323598962
Because consolefags are blind, is why developers can get away with blurry textures.
>>323599017
Only muton elites carry heavy plasma.
>oper8ing in comfy snow environments
MUH DICK
>want to watch all the videos regarding xcom 2
>but don't want everything spoiled
fuck
>>323599702
i'm actually sad i found out about faceless now i won't be as surprised
>>323579149
Soon, brother.
Meanwhile we can play on PC.
>>323599189
Haven't met Muton Elites yet. Fuck me. I still have trouble with Cyberdiscs.
That brings me to another point, how does HEAT ammo calculate damage? I've never actually hit with it, but it still shows the standard 7 damage the laser rifle gets.
>>323599808
Just look at it this way.
>Won't be surprised
>Will instead be terrified of every civilian ever
Or you'll just forget they're a thing and be surprised when it finally does happen.
>>323600064
The estimated damage 'preview' shown on the target before making a shot doesn't take weakness/resistance into account, I think, but it should do an extra 50% to cyberdisks/sectopods, 100% if you're not playing Enemy Within.
>>323600064
get disabling shot on your sniper and just instant kill it when it can't do shit
>>323590618
>2. Are SHIVs any good
They spin well
>>323587264
The bitching I remember most was people complaining that the RNG locks before you move so you can't save scum.
Apparently that was bad for some reason, though I could never get a reason why other than you can't save scum.
>>323600720
Oh no, in a stroke of brilliance I took the battle scanner I never actually use because Squadsight. And so far every new recruit I've ranked has been a heavy.
>>323601472
You can still save-scum, you just have to not be a retard and realize that if you do things in a different order you can get a different outcome.
I know that you canonically lose in EU, but is it known if you can use EU saves in second game?
What difficulty are you boys going to play on?
>>323601592
well you dun fucked up
i guess your're left with shredder rockets hit and heat ammo
>>323601967
i'm gonna play on legend because i am one

>>323601965
What? I mean, what would you even use them for?
friendly reminder that civilians can now turn into these fuckers that are like as high as a building
friendly reminder that Gatekeepers automatically revive fallen enemies AND friends as zombies
friendly reminder that Chrysalids no longer make zombies, instead they make a cocon out of their pray, which erupts into 3 other Chrysalids.
friendly reminder that Chrysalids can now burrow into ground and move through concrete
friendly reminder that Sectoids now have mind control right from the start of the game
friendly reminder that Berserkers now can now move two times farther than normal move range
friendly reminder that the Ayys now have Big Daddies, who can literally bust through walls, and spews acid
>>323601965
For what purpose?

>tfw i'm getiing my german wonderboy back

>>323601967
>normal too easy for me but i get to be a bit reckless
>classic too hard for me unless i cheese it
HOLY SHIT JUST PRE-ORDERED
>>323599702
no adjacency bonus, full character and weapon customization that can be imported into all playthroughs, overwatch shots now fire in order instead of everyone at once, there is no air fighting with interceptors, you are now hidden at the start of the missions and can use stealth to ambush enemies before they see you, the sniper starts with oversight, pistols are majorly buffed and you can literally make Ocelot out of a sniper with the Gunslinger class, you can now hack shit with your support, there are a shitton of new aliens, the maps are randomly generated every time so you'll never play the same map again, Loot system: fallen enemies and allies will yield loot that can be picked up and brought back to base, backpack for loot, limited carrying capacity per soldier, Mission Objectives to complete missions - killing all enemies is optional, entirely destructible environments, floors and ceilings included, there are now Fire, Acid and Explosive barrels, Skyranger extraction zone can be called in anywhere on the map, so long as there is sufficient space to do so, weapons can now be upgraded with various mods and parts looted from enemies and these weapons can be freely moved between soldiers, the weapons confirmed so far are Ballistic, Magnetic, Laser and Plasma, Gender and Nationality can be freely customized, you can now Re-talent soldiers so no more 10 snipers 0 assault situations, veteran soldiers will receive unique customization options. Snek.
that's pretty most of the new things without spoilers
>>323602574
Thanks anon for spoiling everything. That will really increase the enjoyment of everyone playing the game.
>>323602574

also this is not a movie
>>323602728
Classic and above are all about bringing the cheese, there's not reason not to hustle for every percentage.
>>323601965
Nope. They would 100% have told us about that earlier to improve EU/EW sales.
I'm kind on the fence here, I mean I really want to play Dark Souls III on release, but at the same time XCOM 2 keeps looking better and better. I can't afford both.
>>323602728
>do or die scenario

>>323601969
I have a snapshot sniper with it, but she's crooked as fuck even with a scope. Only girl I have on the team (besides a support) and she's shit.
Speaking of, Smoke Bombs are basically half cover, right? Also best items for classes
>>323603139
Well it comes to the wire that on which general do you want to participate as you advance in the game alongside other posters.
I can guarantee that XCOM2 threads are better than DS3 ones.
>>323603253
i never thought i'd see the day someone picks snapshot over the almighty squadsight
>>323602946
Why aren't they releasing it consoles, did the first one sell badly? I got the sense XCom 2012 was pretty console-friendly.
>>323603028
>There are like 4 times more new aliens compared to EW you idiot
And no one ever gives a source to these claims.
>>323603416
it only sold like 110k on consoles
they refused to go for it again
>>323601965
There is absolutely no data in a EW/EU save file that could be useful to X2.
>>323603434
watch some Firaxis streams
>>323603416
Yeah, it sold incredibly poorly to the point where 2k blamed pokemon for stealing sales.
>>323603374
I was flying blind, and I had 2 so I said why not? I thought it would be a lot more useful tan it actually is. The aim penalty is what kills it, 20 is too much.
>>323603416
It only sold 114k units on consoles.
>>323603374
I always pick snapshot for them in the zone flank 5 kills in one turn.
should I buy xcom on iPhone, I'm poorfag that can only play most mobile games
>>323603416
XCOM:EU sold poorly on consoles, no point making the game simpler for a console release if the money isn't there. Plus PC was were the active fanbase was, alongside the sales.
>>323602574
you are now aware that despite mind control, misinformation, and subterfuge the people in the world of xcom are aware of chrysilids wandering around and are ok with that.
They better explain this shit. Because that alone is grounds for get the fuck of my planet.
>>323603690
Not worth it on tablet shit.

SCOPE on all, a couple of grenades for when you absolutely need splash or guaranteed damage, and a medpack on a heal-specialized support.
Endgame mind-shields are also a big fuck you to ethereals/sec commanders and give your psi-troops monster will for that delicious 100% mindfray/mind control chance.
>>323603374
I prefer snapshot. I can never seem to get Squadsight to work for me. Can never find a good position that actually lets me hit anything. Especially on missions inside alien bases. Id rather be able to have my sniper be able to shoot on the fly.
My best soldier the first time I beat the game was a snapshot sniper.

That said, i actually have the android version for shits and giggles, and it's pretty solid. But you have to have one of those controllers to play with, it just doesn't work well with touchscreen. A lot of the soldier customization options are also missing.
>>323585464
Why does he look like a 60s cartoon villain?
>>323604016
Wow, an actual ufo defense grognard? Man, i haven't seen one of your kind since the EU release back in 2012. I thought most of you went extinct when EW was out. I got to get a picture of this.

I didn't even bother with jetpack when I stealth modified my sniper. That perk that makes low cover count as full cover and you're always invisible.
>>323579149
I'd give it like a ~40% chance.
>>323603416
They said it was because of mods, but sales are to blame. Its interesting that they made even mobile versions.
>>323603809
People prefer order over chaos no matter who's in charge and i don't blame them compared to (insert real life situation here). That and they get mind chips upgrades at free clinics that keep those annoying thoughts away.
I keep trying to get into long war but I find it seriously annoying. I just lost a satellite because all my interceptors had a fucking month of repair time after the last 3 ufos. How does that make sense?
Should I buy the Digital Deluxe edition, /v/?
>tfw they actually weren't lying when they said it would be easy to mod

its basically just game + season pass so up to you

Just making sure, since I don't follow it closely until release.
You can make some easter eggs with the data though. Like meeting your old soldiers as part of enemy teams or something. Imagine fighting your team from your last EU save file.
>>323604353
Take the second wave that makes the air game easier. It's the most bullshit pointlessly annoying part of Long War.
>>323604194
Ask him, he is streaming.
>>323604353
>I keep trying to get into long war
Don't, it's an overhyped bloated shit at this point. Just do a regular EW playthrough with some second wave options as you wait for XCOM2.

That shit needs as much modding it does to the base game to be playable

That stream was a magical experience.

Honestly, I think that might be the best idea. I like a lot of things Long War seems to be trying to do, but its all piled with so much pointless crap that I can't actually enjoy it.

What second wave options actually make the game more fun? Anything? Most seem to just make things more irritating.,

speaking of xcom, fuck this fucking enemy right here

>can take a free overwatch every turn
>tons of health
>takes less damage from attacks
>can take shots across the map and hit guys in smoke
>has a one square damage radius when it dies (explodes)
seriously, fuck these enemies. Such fucking bullshit, especially when I run into them early in a mission. They easily take out 3 of my guys before I manage to kill them.
How the fuck am I supposed to deal with them?

Kill the drones you retard
>>323605318
aiming angles is cool.
>>323605397
Stop begging.
For some reason i got this mental image of xcom operatives burning down entire sites with countless collateral damage all while fist pumping and chanting like you would expect in earth defense force.

original xcom was like that.
leveling the map was a viable option
>>323578839
We need a remove ayy copypasta already
>>323605318
Not created equally and hidden potential are great, breaks the monotomy of soldier advancement nicely. You get some total screwballs with shit stats that you either sacrifice or dismiss, and then you get some fucking supermen that you value more than anything.
Aiming angles is a solid one that comes a great way of eliminating the "point blank with 90% chance to hit" problem.
>>323590618
Shivs are bretty gud in LW

Did EU/W have destructible buildings? I watched an XCOM 2 video and the dev blew up the side of a building to kill an advent on overwatch.
>>323605367
>Implying all snek girls want something other than big mutton cock
How can humans even compete?
>>323605349
Take it out from range. First kill the drones, then whittle the health down with your squadsight sniper and mech-damage heavy. Then when he's ripe for the taking, run and gun with an assault for a double shot to the face.
>>323605852
If we must be unsung, we will be.

Some walls are. Buildings in general are not. Its actually an new feature having fully destructible environments in XCOM2.

>>323606438
It's a digital game, why would you preorder? There's no scarcity.
>>323606438
Only pre ordering bad games hurts the industry
>>323606525
preorder bonus and so i can preload
>>323606179
Gonna get my Steam Deluxe Edition pre-order in soon.
>>323606525
for that sexy sexy resistance warriors pack
>>323605782
It's pretty great when you bring someone along as cannon fodder that has piss poor stats but just refuses to die and might even save the day in some situations. I love a good underdog story.
>>323606518
Don't know about the other two, but cyberdiscs are now ball shaped and can use melee, psi powers and zombies
>>323606589
DUDE LMAO SALE
Just wait a year or two for a complete edition when you know everything about the game so you can play it on auto-pilot lol.
>>323606179
I am gonna preorder after i pay rent this month.
I ditched my laptop and build my new PC just so i would be up to specs to play xcom 2.
Feels like a drop in the ocean at this point
>>323605852
Well it all depends on how well xcom can rebuild things afterwards. Everyone want to revolt but few want to rebuild.
>>323606518
I bet modders will import xcom ew aliens after few months to the xcom2
>>323606525
25% cheaper and I'm going to buy it anyways
>>323606451
Actually, you're the one who is most likely to be autistic.
1. You don't like change
2. When change occurs, you can't keep your mouth shut and spout your opinion as gospel, objective, truth
3. When called on your opinion, you resort to insults, screaming and tantrums
So, now we've established you have at least three key markets for autism, you should get yourself tested, dem autism bux are great.
Not that faggot you replied too either.
