BACK FROM THE DEAAAD
Have something a lot different from vanilla UFO Defense.
It's a full conversion mod, apparently "Cheesy 80's movie" the mod.
any people who frequented these threads just holler, always good to have some old people back.
We'll start on medium mode, or "Blackbeard" mode as it's called here, given the new enviroment.
Where should our first base be, and what should its name be?
We are always watching, commander.
AWWWWWWWWWWW SHIET

A summary of the X-COM timeline.
>1999: Aliens invade. We repell them by exploding our cities first.
>Eventually, we find out they have a city on Mars. We blow the shit out of it, and it's Nerd Mayor.
>2020: Aliens start attacking from beneath the seas. X-COM responds by exploding cities, ships, and the sea floor.
>We eventually find R'yleh. We blow the shit out of it.
>It poisons the world, and people concentrate into a low number of megacities.
>Aliens start invading from the next dimension over.
>X-COM does what it does best, explodes the city.
>We find a way into their dimension.
>A single tear is shed.
>They have a city, we know what to do.

Team assembled, now we wait
What should we Research?
>>339418660
>missed my post
OK I guess I'll go.
>>339419015
Oh whoops, clicked post before yours popped up. Added
>>339418949
>>339419140
Thanks senpai
It's really fun to see how the characters do.
>>339419226
Anon, I've already researched that, just waiting for manufacturing to develop it so I can try it out
>>339418949
Our Abilities looks fun
That or the elerium clone
Is Xenonauts any good?
This is going to take a while
Oh
That didnt do much
>>339419665
it's on a similar level as UFO, if the alien designs are a bit more bland, certainly better than this hipster-with-a-pink-highlight wymen2stronk tripe
>>339420203
From my understanding, this is supposed to emulate cheesy 80's movies, not everything with a women in it is SJW garbage.
They have NO carrying capacity when naked
GOT AN ENEMY
They're dropping like flies
>>339421618
Who exactly are we fighting here commander
Commander, which faction are you attacking right now??
>>339422072
>>339422125
I have no idea, whoever these people are
Uh oh
>>339422582
W-What do you think will happen to her poor naked body?
>>339422305
lmao, you're raiding reticulans tourist. Aka sectoids that got rejected from the army
>>339422749
It said "Humanist Activists"
What the fuck are these mods and where's the high explosives
I wish someone would do one of these but with Xenonauts.
3 down
>>339412814
What's the best xcom game to start with? I've never played any and I don't want to start with a shitty one.
>>339423618
UFO with custom starting base mod
>>339423618
UFO Defense if you want to start with the old style, Enemy Unknown/Within if you want to start with the new style.
>>339423783
Thanks
Shit, Imga died
>>339423857
What's the difference in style? Did it get somewhat casualized or something?
>>339423618
just dive into EU or 2
The old games are fun and everything, but they've aged like shit
>>339424140
Enemy Unknown/Within has a revised system of combat. Has a cover system, flanking, more definite percentage to hit numbers, it's just largely a very different combat system.
>>339424136
How about we give them next time some clothes?
So they can more efficiently transport high explosives.
>>339424384
That's a good idea
>>339424328
Nice, that sounds pretty much to be what I'm looking for in a game right now.
OH NO
>>339424634
i guess now its personell
It all comes tumbling down tumbling down tumbling dooooown
>>339424514
nothing of value was lost
OH NO
NO NO NO
>>339425536

My daughters... raped and probably held captive in an alien sex dungeon
Oh shit it's OP69 again.
Glad to have you back commander.
CUTTING THEM DOWN TO SIZE
>Played a run of XCOM, naming all of my soldiers after fictional characters.
>Skyranger was the Magic School Bus, interceptors named after Ace Combat characters.
>Edit the text extensively, replacing things like"alien" with "Ayy Lmao" and "Mind Control" with "Demand Compliance."
>Edit Ufopedia with things like "I wonder why we haven't fixed that problem with access lifts that Ayy Lmao can just walk right the fuck into our base."
>Country and city names changed, like replacing Italy with the Papal States, or Russia with Soviet Union.
>1999.
>The Ayy Lmao launch an assault on Earth for some reason.
>As the world's military forces fight on, some soldiers are afflicted with a sudden attack of total incompetence.
>Rather than sack these soldiers, the UN creates XCOM and reassigns the liabilities.
>XCOM is founded in a disused warehouse in Miami, Florida.
>A big neon sign outside advertises XCOM as the world's first alien extermination service.
>The UN secretly adjusts the Miami power grid so that from space, the city lights make a big arrow pointing at the XCOM base.
>XCOM's purpose is simple - To look more threatening than it really is so that the aliens focus on destroying XCOM while the world's military forces do all the actual important shit.
>Except some autist in an XCOM lab invents laser guns, making XCOM humanity's final line of defence.
>Some guy in the UN shits bricks because if XCOM actually becomes competent, his ass is on the line.
>Assigns a disgraced US general as XCOM's leader. who was responsible for 90% of US losses in Vietnam.
>XCOM survives rather well despite using Vietnam War-era tactics on aliens, like walking in a big line at the UFO, and destroying villages to save them.
>mfw I have a big text document detailing specific incidents in my game, like a late-game mission (Around September 2000) where Sectoids began throwing grenades at their own feet in front of my troops to suicide bomb them, resulting in GI Joe being knocked out for over 40 days.
I FOUND A SHOTGUN
>>339426048
Fuck, forgot picture.
Guess we can't use the shotgun anymore
>>339426058
OPEE, JUST LOOT SHIT AND GET OUT OF THERE. WE SUFFER TOO MUCH CASUALTY AND WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN THE REMAINING GIRLS VIRGINITY
COLDSTEEL KEEPS BERSERKING AND PANICKING, I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
Why is everyone naked commander
RIP
Where are we going to get the funds for a new ship, and new soldiers for that matter
>>339426658
>Vessel is lost
Why am I not surprised
Hopefully we get funding soon
Research continues
>>339426556
CAUSE THIS IS SEX COM BABY
>All these armors with little to no carrying capacity
MONEY!
>>339427338
>all them reduced payments
You're losing it commander
>>339427338
Just do what you can, Commander. You don't have the capacity to raid all those goyims yet.
>Not enough money for any of the ships
uhh
>>339427338
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqJMosC54D0
I sold a bunch of shit and bought 1 skyranger and 1 soldier
gureito
I think the X Pirates are going to go out of business at this rate, we can't shoot any ships down and only have one soldier.
Still researching, researched the piles of junk, should get us some more money
>1 pirate
>1 skyranger
lol, I guess naked amazon strategy didn't work out too well
Oh lord even less money
I guess we're just in it for the women at this point
Tried the new Open Xcom Apocalypse?
>>339429498
That's out? Does it improve the shitty UI?
>>339429585
Still shitty but it's looking good. Playable atleast.
We've got a new soldier with us on this trip
the fuck is that thing
>>339430702
Does it matter? Just blow it up
>>339430767
>Just blow it up
just blowing it up would require this game to be fun tho
Killed some scum
Maybe we won't squadwipe this time
NOOOO
I JINXED US
>>339432175
That's half of our force gone, isnt it
2 PEOPLE LEFT
GONNA LEAVE WITH AN AYY BODY
Hey, Abysmal is better than what we got last time!
Alright, I think 4 hours is enough XCOM for today.
I'll pick the thread up where we left off tomorrow.
