What does /v/ think about X-COM: UFO Defense ?
It's pretty fucking great.
OpenXcom and mods really breathed new life into it as well.
Just beat it on Super Human IRONMAN. Psy is broken as fuck.

I love it. I prefer it greatly over the new games.
It provides an atmosphere that the modern games completely missed.

Now do terror from the deep :^)

Just starting a game of OpenXcom now. Haven't played an xcom game for the past ~10 years, any guides or pointers on how to not get bodied early game like a shitter?

Rush psy, win game.

>Not enabling Psy-LOS in options so you can't just MC every fucking ayylmao on the map from the skyranger
>>332644673
The only good XCom game.
>>332649782
>Taking away any threat ethereals have
>>332644673
I think Openxcom is a strong contender for GOAT.

Literally zero reason to play it since the sequels are better. Why bother playing anything but XCOM 2?
>>332649363
Spam explosives and rush laser

r you gay or what?
X-COM: Apocalypse is one god damn underrated strategy
>>332650118
Openxcom has superior gameplay, at least until someone makes Long War 2
>>332650118
I'll agree XCOM:EU and XCOM2 are both great games, but the original X-Com (especially with OpenXcom) offers far more tactical options and granularity of control such as a more detailed inventory system, freeshooting, throwing items between soldiers, TUs, etc.
best strategy game
>>332650118
XCOM is trash, memenigger.
>>332644673
It's GOAT

Here's to (you), Nichola and Bart...

I prefer the original and TFTD. Apocalypse, in my opinion, lacks the charm that the originals had, and I greatly prefer the art style of the original. Apocalypse is also too complex, in UFOD there was a curve; you could get started without knowing too much. It was fairly simple. Apocalypse though? It's all over the place. Very hard to get into.
Tbh Firaxis should make XCOM 3 X-Com 3; they should bring back some of the complexity of the original, maybe with new weapons and concepts, time units and all, albeit with a little rejigging to make it a bit easier to understand and "Get into".
That, IMO, would almost certainly be the DEFINITIVE game of all time.
What mods should i get for OpenXcom? Tried the Final Mod Pack but it just feels kinda wrong, especially when the ayy with a 8 shots auto-shot appeared
I liked the maps though

Has anyone here played X-Piratez? How is it?
>>332653352
Good.
hey guiz wats goin on in dis thred??
>>332650442
is open apoc available yet?
>>332650227
not really, Apocalypse is a missed shot at being the greatest game ever, it is interesting but ultimately a mess.
Judging from those pictures, it looks pretty ass.
>>332655131
The quality of a game will never matter when it looks this shit to begin with.
>>332655587
I'm guessing it did look pretty ass. OpenXcom does a world of good with it, though.
And I'm sad that /v/ stopped playing XCOM.
>>332655131
get out with this broken shit I'd rather play openXcomJust kidding, was fun hanging out in the forum, good game, although really different to UFO
>>332655671
The only thing I ever really had a problem with (art-wise) are the soldier portraits. Everything else looked fine / good to me.
Any Silent Storm fags here?
