X2 by far

It just has horrible performance issues. But the fact that it can be easily modded or that the mod community is so active for X2 makes it stand head and shoulders above EU

Trick question
They are all shit.

OpenXcom=OpenTFTD>Enemy Within>2>OpenApoc
>>
2 Would be fine if they patched it right, TFTD and Enemy Within are the best Xcoms

Warning though, it's one of those games where you really have to git gud, there is no trial and error even if you know what you are doing is still hard as fuck

The RNG is still realistic

I just don't like hard games. Not much time time to waste and I hate to loose items I earned (soldiers in this case). I like 2 and play on easy for now.

In terms of how they play, I'd say EW and 2 for all their flaws.
They are far easier to understand and get used to than the originals.

In terms of just being able to do shit, I'd vote Apocalypse.
Still remember the time I threw one grenade and accidentally destroyed the entire hydroponics building and everything inside.

At least this one is big enough to show that the Pectoid has the defense buff.
>>
>>329443623
>>329444215
Both of these arguments are retarded.
RNG isn't realistic
But RNG is a part of Xcom and no amount of salty people who missed a 99% shot is gonna change that
>>
>>329444335
RNG is still shit though
>>
Why do both the new games feel the need to force some completely shitty story on the player?
What was wrong with the emergent story of the original?
>>
>>329444817
Well yeah but if the players want to aim the can play bureau or fuck off and play Command and Conquer where everyone hits all the time.

2, once they fix it

I can buy Enemy Unknown: Complete Edition on Amazon for 17 bucks
Go for it?

do it

XCom 2 is pretty good desu.
The mod-support promises a lot of fanmade improvements too.

This would all be solved if aim modifiers allowed your accuracy to dramatically increase at point blank range but the devs had to justify melee weapons somehow, which can miss anyway so fuck that entire mechanic.
>>
>>329449645
And yet, once your squad matures and they get outfitted with scopes, the game gets a lot easier.
If they understood the mechanics they'd know the first shot was going to have a high cover aim penalty. The second was an unfortunate glitch though.
Ideally this guy should've just grenaded the sectoid to clear the contacts. If he wanted to risk activating another pod and save a grenade, they should have run the soldier through the window first, saw the glitched flank, taken the shot then just killed it with the grenade if it missed.
Funny video though.

>>329444215
>Sectoid is buffed
>point blank range with a medium range weapon
>expect 100% shot

I bet when a character hit a 'Miss!' in a FF game you thought that was bullshit too.

Look I like RNG but I totally get why it pisses people off. I've had units in the :EU remake that miss over four 50+% shots. That's just one unit with over a 50% hit chance. If you take a fucking quarter and flip it over and over again you'll never get the same result more than 3 times. When you're missing multiple high hit shots in a row when something like lightning reflexes isn't in play it is some fucking bullshit especially when like one of your best up and coming characters just fought through like 3 missions and has 2x or more kills than missions gets fragged from the high ground in full cover by a 10% crit low 60% chance to hit shot like WHAT THE FUCK XCOM

>>329452747
check the workshop for capnbub's accessories mod, solid work
>>
>>329452915
I've already got that but I'm sure i've never seen that helmet, weird

I'll check again
