VIGILO CONFIDOXcom thread
I just hope they will introduce a better meta in XCOM 2, the first remake was literally only spam satellites to win.
Also before you ask, I intentionally did not watch most of the livestreams/previews.

XENOS GET OUT
REEEEEEEEEEE
>>324063610
Xcom with a vietnam war soundtrack would be cool
>>324063589
*No Spoilers*
There are few new mechanics they have added to completely do away with that
>>324064385
Holy fuck that's cool
>>324063610
That was pretty hype desu
>>324064385
FUCK that looks nice. Do we know anything about micromanagement/micromanagement/base management? Has it been watered down?
>>324065542
Yeah, they've shown the base and it functions, you should check it out, it doesn't spoil anything
Any of you ever tried the Xcom board game? Shit's hard. And it takes some time
>>324066262
There's a fucking board game?
Yeah. You can play alone or with friends. I don't recommend playing alone though, because then you'd have to fill 4 roles, could get overwhelming.
>>324064001
>It Ain't Me starts playing
>>324066589
Neat, I didn't know that existed
>>324066589
Shit looks complex
>>324066589
>>324066262
I really like the idea for the timed phase and resolution phase with the app. My friends and I almost always roll like shit so we never beat the harder difficulties.

XCOM 2 will be the game of the year, right?
>>324067353
Fine, not trying be a dick, just spreading info. I take no part in memes, well, at least not intentionally.
>>324067918
nigga it's not even February yet
>>324067918
Who knows. but most likely not
>>324063589
There was a very specific formula, was build two satellites first month, deploy them before end of month. Build uplink and 3 sats deploy before end of month second month, build nexus and 5 sats deploy before end third month, raid alien base to lower panic fourth month, nexus and 5 sats 6th month.
I guess it's kind of sat spam if your trying to not lose any countries. You can choose to lose a few instead of satellites and make the battles better and focus on a foundry or OCS since you have 8 countries to lose before game over.
>>324067548
This looks complicated as fuck, but kind of cool

>>324069301
Nah, it was decent for a while when John Walker was put in his cage. That was back in 2010 or something though. After he got more power it went to utter shit.
>>324063589
With Panic being gone as a mechanic losing missions isn't as crippling and since the primary means of preventing yourself from losing the game is raiding blacksites and alien bases when you feel like it instead of satellite spam, base management is more free. The satellite replacements in 2, Resistance Comms, are just used to get extra funding from an area now (like how LW's funding works) and to get continent bonuses.
>>324063589
Agreed. The meta of nuXcom was obnoxious in its 'YOU MUST SATELLITES!!!!" and continent bonuses.
I liked original x-com where actually playing the geoscape was a BIG part of the game.
>Aliens took out a country of not much importance and set up a base
>Instead of taking out the alien base right away, constantly harass its supply ships for boatloads of elerium and other resources.
>research early mind probe so you can identify leaders / medics / navigators
>Capture an early navigator for hyperwave decoders with 100% detection rate.
>Endlessly interrogate medics so you can get psionics early
NuXcom just doesn't allow a lot of the same level of strategic decisions.
>>324069970
I actually wasn't aware of this, especially the removal of Panic
>>324067973
Thank you, anon. I know what it's called, I just happen to enjoy the /tv/ meme. CCR is good though I only know a few things by them.

>>324070310
Just to be clear, anon meant the country panic, the one that affected the doom tracker.
Your soldiers will still lose their shit and shoot friendlies.
>>324064001
yeah

>>324070619
Ah shit, I was going to say that was a bit of a dumb decision to remove that but I was clearly mistaken
>>324070650
I can't fucking wait for this game holy shit
>>324070986
>>324070650
Fuck off neo-Xcom shills.
Guys, I have played through EU on normal/ironman once and now I'm trying to complete the campaign on classic/ironman. How the fuck do I do this? I'm on my 6th try now and it's all going to shit in month 4. I'm trying to get 2 satellites online every month but I just can't keep up.
>>324070503
Sir, what better way to kill xenos than while listening to good old Terran music, sir.
>>324070619
>>324070921
They've removed the chance that soldiers would shoot friendlies when panicking afaik. They still can hunker down/run away/attack ayys.
>>324071245
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DONT LIKE Y-YOU SH-SHILL
Why did you even come to this thread you fucking faggot
>>324071356
Oh, and I'm playing EW.
>>324071402
I want to talk about real XCOM, not watch vaporware shills jerk each other off about their casualized cash grab.
>>324070310
I don't know how much you know or how much you want spoiled, but I'll keep it in tags anyway.
The new loss condition is something called the Avatar Project, which the aliens actively build towards during the course of the campaign. They'll regularly build Blacksites and Bases that contribute to the progress of the project, and the only way to stop it is by assaulting these facilities. You start out in one region and have to gradually build up comms with other regions and leapfrog across the globe to increase funding and gain access to the areas the alien facilities are in.
Also the 'pick 1 of 3 missions' is still in but now instead of Panic you choose to counter certain Dark Events, which are basically alien research. These can range from temporary stuff that lasts for a few weeks or permanent alien upgrades. Couple examples
>some Advent troopers use poison rounds for a month
>a UFO hunts after the Avenger and if shot down will prompt a base defense
>the aliens hide in Faceless on all missions with civilians for a month, not just terror missions
>aliens have much longer LoS for a month
>next terror mission is sped up by a couple weeks
So instead of outright pushing you closer to game over (though there are 1-2 Dark Events that will increase progress on the Avatar Project), they just make some other aspect of the game more difficult.
Pic's how the new Geoscape looks.
>>324071245
Go back to your snake tits and weeb shit you bitter pervert
>>324071703
Real XCOM is X-Com. You'd know that if you weren't such an impotent dweeb who rages on threads that he shouldn't have opened in the first place if he didn't want to read the content which obviously is about hyping up the game. You're honestly really pathetic...

Oh yay, its more like terror from the deep. Where you had to stop those fucking shrines.
Thank god. I hated the 'country panic' levels shit.

>>324072614
>Aliens are secretly jews
>>324072289
then what are those delicious sacks?
With country panic gone, what's the new lose condition in XCOM 2?
>>324072751
AVATAR project, see >>324071782
>>324072751
You can't lose. They've dumbed down every element of the game to appeal to console babies and hold their hand. It's literally the Bloodborne of XCOM.
>>324072751
To paraphrase >>324071782 without spoiling.
It's similar to Terror from the deep, in that if you let the aliens get too many points without smashing the things that give them points, you lose.
>>324072871
>>324072952
alright cheers m8
>>324072902
nice
>>324072614
Haha what the fuck, I just looked that shit up. Bullshit we'll even reach the first milestone in 20 years. The second one we'll probably reach in 100. The brain is way more complex than most people give it credit for.
>>324072902
That's incorrect and you're literally a crybaby
>>324072751
They haven't really said, the lose condition is spoilery because it's in line with a project the Aliens are behind on Earth, involving Advent. Probably some hivemind related "control nexus" for all of humanity if I had to wager a guess. It probably links Earth with other planets under alien control, permanently.
So their project being completed would be the technical "lose condition", or the "doom clock".
You'll lose anyway if you can't gather enough support cells.
>>324072952
Or rather, aliens will build things that give them points periodically. If you dont smash the things that give them points, given enough time you will lose.
>>324072614
C is objectively the worst option
>>324067296
Just so you know it's called "some folks are born"
>>324073224
Is that from their Silver Spoon album? Really good tunes ayy
I posted this in /vg/, but I lost someone important to the cause today...It looks like we'll never "Make Earth Great Agian" boys...
>>324072982
I feel like MAYBE we could reach the second milestone within a somewhat reasonable amount of time, but that's a real big maybe.
Any other games like X-COM?
No Xenonauts. It's shit.
>>324073620
Are you assaulting the alien base with ballistic weapons?
so,
cheesing strategies for XCom EW?

No, lasers. I also heavily modified him to be near perfect.Except not 6 days before I didn't do the double heart because I wanted him to go with the cheaper route getting two new accuracy and stealth implants. It's all my fault. ;__;7
>>324070261
>Endlessly interrogate medics so you can get psionics early
or, you could invade that one base in that place that doesn't matter and kidnap a commander and not waste time
>>324071391
It still happens.If you psi-panic ADVENTs, they can shoot their own too.
does anyone know when GMG send out keys?
although to be honest, it won't really matter since i won't be able to play the game until the 9th at the earliest
>>324073937
Keep a roster filled with at least 4-6 squad sight, double tap Snipers and bring 2 to every mission.
That means a sniper can fire anywhere on the map provided they have line of sight trajectory, and can shoot twice in a row on the same target or another. Give every sniper adrenal glands and they will give your entire squad a buff every kill.
For mechs - Kinetic Strike > Grenade Launcher > EMP.
With EMP you can disable any mechtoid or sectopod in a wide area - it also does 5 dmg to anything inside the bubble. So it will kill outright any sectoid, thin mint, drone or seeker.
(Give your snipers Disabling Shot too, to keep enemy mechs in check).
All that being said - your number one strategy is baiting aliens to your squad that is under overwatch. Overwatch, overwatch, overwatch. Don't get impatient, and don't end a turn under sight of a new alien squad.
>>324072614
Option B is pointless and even harmful.
You're not just your brain, but a combination of your entire body interconnected, and your brain is a degrading organ like any other. Good luck being a demented cranky old man living in a toaster.
>>324063610
whats the limit to soliders you can break with you?
because that seems like atleast 10
>>324073937
beyond savescumming?
Go Europe for starting country, it provides one of the best bonuses throughout the game, try to pick up north america next.
Get lasers by mid-month two.
In your first abductions, try to get engineers as you will need them to build satellites, both cheaper and to sustain more uplinks.
A cube of uplink uplink nexus nexus should be enough to cover all countries.
Squadsight snipers are bullshit
Converting a lieutenant heavy into a mec is good in the earlygame as it ups his potential damage, while still fulfilling the same general roles (area destruction, damage soaking / suppression and in general medium accuracy fuckoff high damage).
Research credits alongside an early lab or two will skyrocket your research speed.
2 connect elerium generators IIRC provide more power than you could ever need, failing that early steam in a good location does quite a bit for you.

>all finn soldiers would get bonuses to knife attacks
>>324075687
Europe provides equivalent or better bonuses to africa until the late game, at which point it no longer matters.
South america is only 2 countries and incredibly easy to pick up, its bonus isn't even relevant until month 2 or 3.
The 'best' countries to start with are either north america, europe or africa... and well we've already establish that europe ~>= africa.
Asia you want to snatch up anyways simply because of huge amounts of engineers they provide.
>>324077206
>Get american

what you say is true though, Brits, Canadians and Australians along with Americans were always my best soldiers.

>>324075895
Half cost labs / workshops and half cost maitenance on them?
That's worth 65 credits on the initial build and 13 credits in monthly upkeep. Plus whatever arbitrary value you assign to reduced construction costs (for having more engineers) and adjacency bonuses.
That is > africa bonus in month one, and providing that you consistently build workshops (at an average rate of 1/month) it continues to be better than africa bonus.

>>324077729
Price and upkeep for buildings is a fucking non-issue throughout the entire game
>>324077263
While I can see the merit cheaper workshops, and as a result easier access to engineers, you can just as easily get a bunch of engineers through council or abduction missions. Having access to cheaper labs is made practically negligible if you take South America, which as you said is easy enough to get the bonus otherwise. Having more funding overall opens more avenues, and you're making enough money to cover the comparatively higher production/maintenance costs.
North America is shit, because by the time you actually need to step up your air game, you'll have enough resources either through funding or the Grey Market to cover the maintenance costs, so it's far from the best. Even Asia is better, though Africa is still the best.This is the only acceptable time to say that unironically.

Africa>Asia>NA>SA>EU
SA you could swap with EU since there are only 2 SA countries and any retard can get that bonus.
>>324078014
>>324078016
It depends on how you budget it. Maitenance costs are essentially 'hidden', you pay them at the start of the month, right when you get your cash from the council and thus you don't see the alternate decisions you could be making with the money.
It would be much more apparent if maitenance costs came half way through the month and you needed to budget the however-fucking-many credits you needed for it.
Europe bonus combats largely 'invisible' costs, which isn't as appealing to some, however it is numerically equivalent to or greater than the africa bonus until relatively late in the game.
>>324078016
The europe bonus is functionally equivalent TO having more funding.
North americas bonus is seemingly less useful, aside from once again combating 'invisible' costs, however as a continent it is great to pick up because of the amount of funding it provides and the good mix of scientists and engineers. It is not a country I'd choose to start in though.
Asia's bonus is IMO, weak, though it revolves heavily around your playstyle and the amount of early investment you want to put into upgrading your soldiering roster, which is something that I feel is largely redundant on easier game modes.
>decide to try out long war
>very first mission, decided to get the second wave that gives you full squad size right off the bat
>within the first few turns, four of them die and i'm left with two squad members cowering behind cover
>somehow manage to pull it back and kill the rest of the aliums with grenades and RNG
Can't say I wasn't warned, but this was incredibly unexpected
>>324078846
Those upkeep costs really are not as much of a hassle as you would believe, I was never short on funds due to upkeep a single time in my playthroughs
It's just not a very valuable bonus if you don't spam buildings. And you don't need to in order to beat the game.
>>324079125
long war is interesting but it takes its namesake too literally and you'll soon get bored when you have to do fifty billion terror missions and UFO landings back to back with like 40-50 alien contact in each map
>>324079125
There is a second wave option that gives you all 6 right off the bat?
What else does it change?

It's made with PC in mind, but even then EW/EU was rather well made and ran well.
>you can customize VIPs for escort missions
>you can customize Dark VIPs for kidnapping/assassination(?) missions
What're you going to do, /v/? I'm probably going to remake an EXALT operative for Dark VIP missions at least.
>>324074295
Your heavy has a ballistic LMG.
You are base assaulting wrong, fellow XCOM.
VIGILO CONFIDO

How much later after assaulting the alien base in EW do the aliens come to assault my base?

Doesn't really fit the rest of the ayylien aesthetic but I can live with it.
>>324080939
It's more like "Xcom is humanities most elite, tactical first responders... they're called in for things that get way out of hand or for shit that others cant respond to".
They get first stab at any of the really critical stuff, but for routine shit everyone else still has a standing army. This is actually confirmed by a lot of the council requests "Give japan 9 plasma rifles so they can fuck aliens up, in exchange they'll give you 3700 credits".

>>324085502
if i recall, isn't the base attack fairly early in the game?
>>324086165
I thought the base attack happened a few weeks after you attacked the alien base.
>>324086165
You can delay it to whenever you want. The game moves at your pace - if you didn't, or don't want to do the base assault or even build the containment facility or arc thrower, then base defense never happens.
>>324086136
i think i qualify past minimum right? im really new to steam im sorry i dont know shit
>>324086601
According to the minimum, you lack the processor for the game, but do have enough RAM. However, without access to your other parts information, we have no way to know anything else.
>>324086601
Unlikely, graphics cards on laptops are usually absolute shit unless you've got a 'gaming' laptop.
Your processor also doesn't seem to pass.
You *might* be able to play it, but I wouldn't expect it to play well.
>>324079276
Multiple Factions including:
>XCOM
>Ayys
>Rival Rebel squads
>Alien Deserters
>The Visitor and his pack of enemies from XCOM Apocalypse
All fighting at random intervals leading to crazy escalation if you don't leave fast enough
>>324086904
Better idea, this exact one, but it essentially works like Civ meets XCOM 2 and all factions are doing their own thing on the globe.
>>324086841
>>324086884
damn well i guess ill just wait for it til i get a pc
>>324085616
Fraxis mentioned that they did it so humans wouldn't be bothered by the hideous appearance of the floater.
WHO ADVENT HERE?
>>324087704
NO ONE PIGFACEI have to say they are pretty ballsy tho
>>324087704
get out traitor
has anyone leaked what the avatar project is?
>>324088358
Not yet, I think the demo that people were given cuts off at a certain point.
>>324088357
>beatings
surely she meant to say birthings?
>>324086136
>770 is recommended for shit now
how the fuck is this game that taxing on a gpu? i know recommended requirements tend to be far above what's actually necessary but still
>>324088271
YOU ARE THE TRAITOR, XCUM
>>324089009
it's bullshit, if you could run xcom EU then you can run XCOM 2
recommended specs are bullshit 99/100 times
>>324089017
>Advent literally have TR-8R sticks
muh dick
>>324089241
I really hope so m8
>>324087653
It's still a floater on the inside though. As soon as it takes damage it goes fucking berserk starts chopping up people with its halberd.
/r/ing spurdo xcom aint free
>>324089351
dude seriously, recommended specs are horseshit, you know weeb games on steam like neptune? They recommend shit like a goddamn i7 and 660ti
and dragons dogma recommends a fucking 760 and a goddamn i7 4770k
despite the fact that the game will literally get you 720 @ 30fps on the shittiest of laptops, I can probably run it at 4k 60fps on my rig
>>324089590
About EW? Yeah I tried to run it on a shitty laptop and ran at 720@30-40fps fairly well.
>>324089559
got ya senpai

thanks,senpai
>>324089753
fucking yes
thank you anon
any other request?
>>324088610
>>324088358
One guy almost leaked it by accident. When the Avatar project finishes you are given a 15 day leeway until the game ends. The only part of the cutscene shown was the geoscape fading into static and this guy:

I must admit that when people call the song 'Fortunate Son', by the wrong name, "It Ain't Me", my jimmies are rustled ever so slightly. It's a good bait.
I bought the first game a week ago, and I have never been more hyped for an upcoming sequel in my life.
>>324090037

it's "It Ain't Me" anon

Fire Emblem?
>>324090132
The previous anon already blew the load; the jimmies cannot be rustled any further
>>324090487
i know it rustles them deep down, anon
People who live sneks are vore fetishists
>>324090025
what is the point of the 15 day leeway? Can you somehow disrupt the project?
>>324090781
I'm guessing you can only disrupt it by finishing the game.

Any canadian I get is a horrifying combat monster.
Sometimes they're one of the first to transition into being a mec trooper. Then another canadian joins and ends up being "the one"... so him and his mec friend get to deliver some serious payback.
>>324081589
No it isn't. You have 4 classes and they each have 2 perk options at each rank. He's talking about like Long War where you have 8 separate classes that each have 3 perks a rank.
