I'm not watching that pathetic rager
>>319745938
Pathetic rager? Explain
>no misses
Hes using hacks
this isnt really xcom
there doesnt appear to be rng
>>319746004
I went to watch his long war stream once and his sniper got killed, the amount he raged over it honestly made me uncomfortable, like there was something seriously wrong with him. He was literally screaming about how bullshit the game is for 15 minutes after that until he just ended the stream because I guess he was too mad to keep playing.
the only thing I have to compare it to is this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIn4L7hUmUI
it was on that same level of patheticness
>>319746043
>they fixed the broken aiming
That's a good thing, dingus
>neo XCOM
>>319746873
How do you mean?
>>319746043
They play on easier difficulties to showcase more of the game
NorthernLion explained it in his video
Not really a graffixfag but I have to say the style on this looks a lot better than EU
>>319746182
Given that that's the exception to the rule, I guess.
Judging from the other 99% of his videos he's one of the autistic LPer's out there.But we both know you're just cherry picking for baito value
>>319747170
*least autistic
>>319747170
How is it baiting? The guy is talking like each character has a defined life story. I mean, it's one thing to be attached to your minions in a game, but there's a point where your commentary about it slides into therapy territory
>>319746973
It's casual, dumbed-down shit missing half it's features.
>>319747093
They got rid of the cartoonyness of the past game. In EU soldiers were comically large with big stupid plastic looking armor and guns and everything was all primary colors and crap. It looked almost toylike.
Xcom2 looks like stuff that could actually exist.
>>319746873
>>319747317
>muh oldcom
>>319747317
Not when it's happening all the time. And it's clearly being played on the lowest setting to highlight the game's action. Christ alive, the game still has its complexities like any of the others
>>319747170
ok I guess its cherry picking a bit because I watched his stream a couple other times and he didnt rage, but it honestly rubbed me the wrong way
I also don't really like his style. The way he tries to be chummy just doesn't work for me. Let the gameplay speak for itself you know, your lame jokes don't enhance it in any way.
>>319747317
>you only have one base

Well good news for those shitters, this game has mods. So they can have all the jerkoff camps they want.

i sincerely wish we would get the management of the first series with the in-game of firaxcom
i love x-com, but the fighting of the alliums is weaker than managing the threat on the globe, whereas firaxis has a far better base for the nitty gritty minus the removal of time units of course
>>319747269
No fun allowed huh? Xcom is a game where it becomes more fun if you use your imagination to give the soldiers you play with some kind of minor background
>>319747659
purge snekfags
Reminder, this is a $75 game.
>>319747720
why would you want to purge this
>>319747659
finished finals and feeling horny,
drawfag taking requests for snektits
>>319747721
Only if you get the special edition with extra content with it, otherwise it's 50 bucks
If it's really such a big deal just wait for it to go down in price
>>319747819
>otherwise it's 50 bucks
$60, and the DLC is most of the special edition's price hike. So yeah, all that held back content like, I dunno, CLASSES for your soldiers is being nickle and dimed to you.
But no, it's ok when Firaxis does it. This certainly isn't exactly what EA does.
I am trying to get into this series and I just started playing XCOM : Enemy Within on my X360, any tips?
Snek memes aside, will they add a recruitable snek for fan pandering?
>>319747972
And a SOUNDTRACK. Pretty sure that's the bulk of the extra $15 you penny pinching chode
>gay shill
>narrating his bullshit like some halfwit newscaster regaling you with tales from a military novel
Does he ever just talk about the game's mechanics and how shit is different now? I'm not sitting through an entire video of this autistic crap to sift out the useful information
>>319747365
They said that they wanted the action figure look for the reboot. This has elements of it but significantly toned down. It works for the darker tone they're aiming for.
>>319748001
Modding will be much easier and complete compared to the last game, so if not that you can bet there would be a mod for it
>>319747994
Get it on PC, runs and plays a whole lot better. Plus, probably cheaper to get.
Beyond that, just play the first game without worrying about consequences. Then either start a new games or wait until your first ends with bitter defeat so you know how not to fuck up royally
>>319748028
Oh yes, the soundtrack. I'm sure that's what people are thinking when they pay $15 extra. Yup.
>>319748041
There are two sides to Beagle.
Showman Beags, where he acts like he does now and his video is edited for comedic effect.
And actual Beags where it's just live commentary and he actually talks about the game and his thought process.
I much prefer his Live and Impossible series to his Ironman Impossible.
>gay shill
You have to be at least 18 years old to browse this site
>>319748061
I kind of want to see someone make a Mother Base mod, with loads of MGS themed missions. Given the recruiting nature of the game, it'd be fucking awesome
>2 months before the game releases
>gameplay videos all over, some youtubers already playing the game and posting shit
FUCK OFF
I don't want to know anything more about this, i've seen the reveal thingie with snake tits and terrorism and i'm good.
Keep the mistery alive
>>319748208
>Soundtracks don't cost at least $10
Are you pretending to be retarded, son?
>>319747972
That pack is simply shit that is gonna be released later in 2016, that you can buy in advance. Why the fuck are people so pissy about it?
The previous Xcom had same stuff too, via the various missions etc that you could buy.
>>319747805
Draw a hot male version of snek.
>>319748112
Not sure about the order of the games
As for Enemy Within, any tips?
>>319748242
So don't watch them? I always play games blind, it's just better that way.
Feel like I should replay EW but I remember it being too easy after the first two months. No sniper run, maybe?
>>319748472
Doesn't really matter the order. The Firaxis games are their own continuity.
And again, just play with the tutorial stuff on to learn about the mechanics and see how far you can get. It's one of those games where you're meant to get your shit kicked in and make better choices with every new playthrough
>>319748472
meld is not worth running into 5 pods of aliens
some pods are stationary, some aren't, they won't actively engage you until you engage them
end turns in full cover and overwatch and win 9/10 missions
shivs are a wonderful complement to normal soldiers early game
snipers win games
when it comes to newfoundland, pack grenades and destroy every fish carcass on the way in, and the whale can be naded to slow down the reproduction rate
>>319748570
So far the gameplay seems easy to understand, except of which nations I should prioritize and where to find EXALT HQ
>>319748667
Speaking of stationary pods, they have better fixed the AI in the sequel so the powerful enemies don't walk AWAY when they're just barely in sight. Fucking hate having those damned Sectopods decide that on one load, they're gonna keep backing away like they're playing hard to get. And then in another, they're jumping up my ass if I tried to ignore them for later.
Either come at me or fucking don't
>>319747703
fuck off beagle
why don't you go post on tumblr with kilroy about how evil whites are
>>319748745
Typically, you want to get the nations that'll speed up research and the ones that help with money. As for finding EXALT, if you've got enough intel about where they're not, you could just savescum until you pinpoint the HQ. Yea, some don't like that idea, but hey, it's your game to play
>>319747170
A personal impression is not the same thing as cherry-picking, it's human nature. If the guy made him uncomfortable, yeah, he's not going to like watching his videos even if they're usually fine.
>>319748859
>Boo hoo the enemies aren't running into my bullets like retards
why does a snake reptile need breasts 2bh?
>>319749094
Not even close to what I was saying, you shitposting brat. There's a point where the AI should be menacing, and not acting like it's retarded and has its direction backwards
>>319748472
ignore what vahlen says, don't be shy about using explosives to kill enemies
when you get offered a bunch of different rewards for abduction missions its often best to take the engineers so you can build more satellite uplinks, you need to get as many satellites up as fast as possible to stay in the game, build your uplinks in a 2x2 square to maximize adjacency bonuses and try to get one or two more satellites up every month if you can.
>>319748667
> end turns in full cover and overwatch and win 9/10 missions
I was doing this the entire time, overwatching and tanking/baiting with 2 MEC soldiers is OP apparently
> snipers win games
Used a few snipers though the game, and placed them in high places, but they are becoming kinda useless now, since every mission is a no damage with the aforementioned strategy
> when it comes to newfoundland, pack grenades and destroy every fish carcass on the way in, and the whale can be naded to slow down the reproduction rate
Didn't know this, thanks
>>319746182
Sounds like bullshit to me, Anon
>>319749196
Then give them SCOPES if you haven't, upgraded ones if possible
>>319749120
same reason why advent built its battle robots with a humanoid shape, it puts people at ease
Will there be a deep moral choice to make with either merely performing a coup on Advent to expose their unethical experiments and oppression but allow aliens to surrender, or complete scorched earth policy?
Oh shit what about pacifist run? Excluding unstunnables like Chrysalids probably.
>>319749120
because its not called the bill of needs libtard
>>319749326
Hard to say. I recall you could only stun one enemy per mission since you had the one interrogation cell
>>319749120
So it's easier to fap to them. Are you stupid?
>>319749238
its not
>>319749326
unfortunately there are no reverse terror missions where your goal is to kill as many civilians as possible, blowing up statues and military installations is all you get as far as terrorist shit goes. A bit disappointing.
>>319746182
What, this video?
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dN734o_L8FU
He raged hard not because he lost a soldier, he raged because the game's buggy vision made him do it.
And let's be honest, if you're playing Long War for several hundred hours, you're going to be really, really pissed off with some of the wonky vision and cover after a while.
>>319748667
>end turns in full cover and overwatch and win 9/10 missions
Bitch I've played I/I, full cover does absolutely nothing.
>>319749542
I've seen seekers do that in vanilla
>>319749620
It does help than just standing in the open like a retarded deer
hopefully they fix this
>>319749508
Well, you're technically playing freedom fighters. You're only called terrorists because the ones in charge have tricked everyone
>>319749169
I've been building satellites like crazy, sounds like I was doing the right thing, same for uplinks
>>319748978
> you could just savescum until you pinpoint the HQ. Yea, some don't like that idea, but hey, it's your game to play
I was trying to avoid this just to understand how you were supposed to figure out where the HQ is
>>319748859
Met the sectioids for the first time today and I already can feel you, they gave me a lot of trouble, I somehow managed to make everyone survive only to get my MECs killed one turn later by a random enemy
>>319746182
That's honestly really out of character for Beags. You should give him another shot, he's usually a delight to watch, if not a bit over-calculating.
and this
>>319749807
>Scan every month
>Get Exalt missions against you anyway so you can respond
>Do it enough times and hope you don't get "Is absolutely not X" when there's 16 fucking countries to go through, and "Is not Arctic Circle adjacent" etc hints in the pool.
It literally is just guesswork and fuck em for it. ONE HQ and that's it? It would have been far better if aliens and exalt actually turned up to the same missions, since they're openly working together anyway.
>>319749807
You have to do a few recon missions to get enough intel to pinpoint Exalt. But the longer you take, the more powerful they'll get, and their sabotages will only get more sever. So you either just try to make a lucky guess and risk a nation pulling out, or "cheat" with saves to get the right one right away and then execute the final mission with them.
As for Sectopods, they're not too bad if you've got the rail gun for your MECs, but they can be a pain when they'll chill out in a closed room one mission, and then flank you from alongside a UFO, on the opposite side of where you fucking are
>>319749961
They have their disagreements, you can see Exalt trying and failing to intercept psychics captured by aliens (it's one of the council missions that's meant to give you surefire candidates for the Gollop Chamber).
>>319749120
the age old question
>>319747776
Because it was a thin man once
anyone ever notice how EXALT wore the flag of their country of origin like XCOM did
>>319750195
So were Thin Men all just really ugly reverse traps?
>>319750115
>These don't look like aliens Commander, they were killed with conventional firearms
I literally never got another council mission in that DLC chain after that, I never actually saw anything about what the fuck was going on. But there wasn't any evidence the Thin Men shot the one Exalt you extract or any of the others. Considering you take possession of the Exalt soldier when Thin Mints turn up it seems like they were at least working together since the aliens otherwise have no reason to turn up.
Would have made more sense for Exalt to turn up, but then it also would have made sense for the one you capture to just suicide.
Do I have to actually finish XCom to play enemy within?
Both of it were in my backlog for a fucking long time
>>319749542
I hate the cunt, but holyshit this time the game has literally no excuse to not give a shot.
I hope this is still in the game
>>319750321
no but you should
>>319750321
Enemy Unknown? No, you can just jump right into Enemy Within, it doesn't make any difference. You won't have your saves from EU, but that's a small pittance to pay.
If you mean the original, it doesn't matter. If you're able to get into the older, much harder game, good for you
>>319750321
>>319750407
No, you shouldnt. EW just add content. No need to play half the game first and then enable the second half and play again.
>>319750314
>I literally never got another council mission in that DLC chain after that
So you lost that campaign or abandoned it before you completed it. The trigger for the rest of the DLC to show up is when you get psychic training.
>>319749542
that's not even that bad. I once had a mechtoid literally disappear behind a waist high rock because he hid in the single space of no vision from anyone. Not only did that not make sense from a sight point of view, but also how did the mechtoid know none of my soldiers could see it in that specific spot.
Even so, the teleporting enemies bug is the worst one in the game. I snuck a stealth suit into an alien ship, ony to have 2 berserkers and 3 heavy floaters teleport to within a square of my troops, all flanking.
People actually hating on BEAGLE? WTF
>>319750561
I got pretty bored with how much of a faceroll everything was except "Classic" so I installed LW and just found it too bullshit to go on.
If only the engine wasn't so shitty, just that alone would have fixed so much.
>>319748304
I'd be with you if one of the expansions didn't include an entire soldier class.
Story based missions like Newfoundland I'm cool with as DLC, but soldier classes, planned before release and not as a big expansion is not okay.
>>319750621
He is horrible. Its literally cancer for eyes. That cunt cycles 3 times through all his soldier before taking first action of the turn. and this include the first turn out of skyranger.
Also his gf and that friend in streams are fucking horrible.
Don't fucking bring up the new XCOMs.
They remind me of a terrible, terrible era of my life. Namely, the six months that I wasted playing them.
I probably have over a thousand hours in them (pirated so no steam library timer) and I can safely say at no point during the entire exercise did I have ANY fucking fun with them. Any time I thought that I was going to have some fun, any time I believed myself to be actually having fun, that feeling was very quickly shut down by the inordinate amounts of bullshit and bugginess that these pieces of shit can put up.
Oh but I can pinpoint exactly what the worst of it all was. The pod system is such a broken piece of shit, I can't fathom how was the game shipped with it.
I won't even fucking describe how wrong all of this is, holy christ no I'm done here, this is not good for my health.
>>319750324

>>319748304
>>319750706
>people on /v/ are now defending day -40 DLCs
Literally no reason for it to not be in the final game. Except to get the cash. You can compare it to EW, But EW was things they didnt do in EU because of money and time. They then released it after they got the money back. Now they just cut a content to sell later.
>>319750810
>>319750621
his attempts at humor are just dreadful and he takes a million fucking years to do anything
>>319750752
>The pod system
you gotta be Ultra careful to only activate one at a time. Which means you gotta see your battles as a series of small skirmishes locked in a little bit of terrain. That's how you win. But fuck if I ain't absolutely garbage at pulling that off and even just talking about this isn't shortening my lifespan from stress
>>319750653
Yeah. It's a buggy piece of shit.

>>319750653
Classic really brings out the bullshit. The regular difficulty wasn't hard at all, I don't even feel like I needed to use much strategy, but I can't get pat two months in classic. I have to use ironman mode no matter what.
>>319751039
it forces you to flank and destroy cover
ahh who am I kidding, it forces you to overwatch camp
>Long War's early game with the expanded arsenal, 6 troops from the start, 2 items per soldier, 3 perk choices per promotion is fun as fuck
>air game is fucking awful, late game aliens have so many fuck you perks, 8 unit pods, 2 gorillion HP, shittiness all around
>>319750881
Like I said, I have no tolerance for them selling a fucking soldier class as planned DLC. I'll pirate this one.
I can forgive story missions (if they're cheap, $10-ish) solely because even the ones in EW were short little sessions with a bit of dialogue and a unique map. Something that could easily be worked on by a sub-team or group that's finished with their part of the main game already. It doesn't alter the core gameplay in any way, simply pads it out. A soldier class is the exact opposite and I will not tolerate it.
>>319751218
Cool, claps for you dude
>>319751030
His I/I was funny and educational. His constant cycling and my god that time he was constantly counting tiles, I just cant watch that. How the fuck did he got so lazy he stopped editing his videos? If oyu want educational video with fast editing, check out xwynns. He is ultra aggressive and fun to watch.
>>319751218
Pre-release DLC is prerelease DLC. Fuck that. Its always cut content.
>>319751128
yeah, beating classic ironman felt like a huge accomplishment to me
it was really fucking hard
>>319751291
Jesus fucking christ Trauma get your shit together, you're killing all your fucking squadmates.
>>319751291
Classic is fair. You die from some BS but you can always make a return.
Impossible is just luck. Lots of it. You are in no way capable of handling the obstacles the game may choose to throw at you.
>>319745617
>its hard to not just look around, take in the sights!
Oh fuck right off, what a shitty individual
>>319751179
I've never tried Long War myself but I've heard the are ini files you can edit to mitigate the bullshit. Not sure how true it is, but I've been meaning to try LW for a while if only for the increased classes and perks.
>>319751372
smiled
>>319751379
The biggest problem Classic has is it's just not fun to get set back because the amount of tedium you have to pull through to get anything done just about outweighs the feeling of progression you can have.
Like how in vanilla you tech up like it's nothing, in LW it takes so fucking long to achieve anything that makes it seem like you're actively engaged in any area, only to get shit on once the mid-game starts.
>>319751179
I´m still not sure what to think about Long War after all this time
I think it has some great ideas and additions, but there´s equally as much bullshit that completely ruins it

>>319750973
Anon, you're being very, very kind to the game.
You're being a lot more generous than it really deserves.
Let's recapitulate what the pod system means, essentially. There are pods of aliens just hidden in the map that will use YOUR turn to reposition themselves the moment they are spotted.
There are already a few problems with this. Note how I used all caps for the first problem.
Any time you want to reveal any of the fog of war, you're going to HAVE to ensure that it's done in the first half-action of your turn and that NOBODY EVER REVEALS A SINGLE TILE OF FOG OF WAR DURING THE REST OF YOUR TURN because, if they do, then the enemy is going to abuse THEIR turn during YOUR turn to reposition themselves. Note how I said reposition themselves. The excuse here is that they are taking cover. This is simply not fucking true and is a hopeful best: The enemy will gladly use their free turn during your turn to flank your soldiers. And guess what? That soldier who is now flanked or within flank distance has already spent his turn.
SO TO PREVENT ALL OF THAT BULLSHIT OF THE HIGHEST OCTANE you'll only ever reveal fog of war during the first half-move of your whole turn or when you are 1000% fucking safe to ignore this (you are NEVER fucking safe to ignore this). Okay, now you're getting into a little bit of a conundrum. What if there are no enemies in sight? YOU'D BETTER BE READY TO CONGALINE HALF-MOVE OVERWATCH OVER AND OVER AND OVER FOR THE ENTIRE HUGE MAP OF ONE CRASHED SCOUT TRYING TO PLAY MARCO POLO WITH THE SIX ENEMIES THAT ARE IN THE ENTIRE FOREST because if you make contact in a way that's not beneficial to you your soldiers WILL die in one turn. And this was, actually the meta before Enemy Within, where instead of trying to fix this fucking awful trainwreck, they added meld. Which only serves to hurry you up. Rather than fix the problem they've actually made the problem even worse by forcing you to dive headfirst into it, now.
>>319751607
>I'm retarded
DW only halves the number of missions you do, which means more time spent fast forwarding on the Hologlobe.
Here's the problem:
You can't get any soldiers/engineers faster this way.
Aliens only tech up slower if they're doing less.
You still take a fuck ton of time researching anything, even more with less scientists coming in.
You also run out of money pretty fast with fewer missions so it doesn't help there either. Just about all DW lets you do is spend more time getting your air up, but that just costs more with DW.
Not to mention the worst part of it all is it forces you to fuck around with .ini files as if you're modding the game yourself, when it's A) still relying on hacks on a mod unfriendly buggy engine and B) .ini editing everything is a labyrinth when it would be easier to just get some kind of XML tool from Nexus. But they couldn't be arsed for that detail.
>>319751692
But we're getting too ahead of ourselves here. We've accidentally stipulated a rock-solid law that would, to an untrained observer that's never played the game, seem to still let you avoid the bullshit inherent in the pod system, even if at the cost at being retardedly tedious and massively unfun.
No, no that's not it at all.
The pods in the fog of war DO NOT EXIST UNTIL YOU SEE THEM, effectively. And fighting one pod at a time is always better than fighting two pods at a time. Heck, having to fight one pod at a time is pretty much mandatory in higher difficulties, especially considering that the pods might flank your shit.
So now the entire fucking game starts to fall apart.
Look at the screenshot. Look at this.
You'd LOVE to play this game tactically. You'd love to use more intelligent cover. You would absolutely love to try to flank the aliens.
But think again.
Because if you do ANYTHING except trade potshots in high cover YOU ARE RUNNING A VERY VERY REAL RISK OF REVEALING MORE PODS WHICH WILL FUCK YOU UP.
THE OPTIMAL WAY TO SOLVE THIS ENCOUNTER
IS TO MAKE EVERYONE STAND STILL
STOP EVERYTHING
EVERYONE CLOSE THEIR EYES
JUST TRADE POTSHOTS.
AND SINCE THIS IS THE EARLY GAME YOU LITERALLY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING
ANYTHING
TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION
fuck me I'm going to sleep
>>319751692
if I'm honest,I find the only real way to enjoy X-Com is savescumming
>75 base aim on classic, light plasma rifle gives additional 10 aim
>10 base crit on classic, light plasma rifle gives additional 10 crit
>even in full cover, you have a 45% chance to get hit
>leap ability can give them an easy +20 aim with height advantage
>if you hunker against this bullshit, they will spit an AoE lingering acid cloud on your troops
>each turn your soldier takes poison damage, they roll for panic
>if they panic, game over
>>319751692
Thank fucking god there's a any-mod compatible little script edit you can get from Nexus then that forces enemies to wait until THEIR turn to do that shit.
Means if you ever stumble upon someone and can fire upon them, you're basically guaranteed crits unless they happen to already be in cover. Also means they're at max range guaranteed.
>>319751936
I wonder how much the game would be fixed if you were simply immune to crits in full cover. I know that's what hunkering down does, but that should only be needed for half cover.
>>319751830
You have no idea how DW is balanced, do you? Almost everything scales. The result of DW, is that you get less missions, so you have to play lass mission with shitty equipment.
Aliens dont progress faster, you dont get more enginers or soldiers, but you get them faster in real time. You have the same amount of scientist and research is as fast, but not interrupted by so many missions. You get the same money, as you get double the reward from doing them when you do 2x less missions.
you dont have to edit anything, its 0,5 by defult which is resonable. If you want to change it, just search the ini for "DW".

This really look bad when you do that.

hard west tried to get rid of this by removing overwatch and making it so enemies start behind cover and get a free shot at you if you come within a few tiles of them, I don't think it really worked

>didn't get to go to Cydonia to fuck shit up in XCOM
>victory in EU isn't even cannon
I don't know how to feel considering TFTD was my favorite...
>>319751892
me too, I just cant deal with my soldiers dying. (My excuse is that Im playing long war)
>the head scientist guy is black
Holy fuck why do they have to bring this SJW shit into every single game? No one would even bat an eye if they left it out yet they still feel compelled to do it for some reason.
>can customize soldiers more heavily, even down to their demeanour
>implying this isn't just going to make me suffer more when my qt sniper gets turned inside out by a chryssalid
>>319752609
Black people can't be scientists?
>>319752609
It's not SJW shit, it's a positive role model. Just because you're a jaded bitter fuck doesn't mean the next generation of nigras gotta be the same

Stop giving him easy (you)s. He should have to work harder than that.
>>319750321
It might be a good idea to at least start Enemy Unknown and get the mechanics of the game without caring about meld, mechs, mutations and Exalt.
>>319752609
i really hope you're just pretending to be retarded
>>319752706
Do you know many black people who play XCOM? I thought so.
>>319752609
Just because 90% of all negros are basically talking monkeys doesn´t mean that the rest of them can´t be productive members of society

>complaining about the guy being black
>not complaining about how all three major base staff now have American accents, completely wrecking the impression of XCOM being a massive international effort that EU had
>>319748472
>As for Enemy Within, any tips?
Although MECs are pretty awesome in theory, they're shit in practice. They have low accuracy, cost a lot of meld, level up slowly, and lack the unlimited regeneration of SHIVs and soldiers with Adaptive Bone Marrow.
So unless you have all the resources to shit out a fully upgraded Paladin with a Particle Cannon, just forget about them.

Give your snipers Squadsight.

Maybe you should try to git gud instead of being a salty scrub.
>Its still either all miss or hit.
WTF, why are they doing this shit, just give me original system from XCOM where every bullet in a burst could hit or miss.
Not this BS when heavy can shot metric crapton of bullets at the sectoid and every single one either miss or hit.
As far as rng go this is some fucking bullshit.

Or, you know, being able to free aim at cover and shit.
I could never take enough explosives in newcom because I deny ayyliens their cover, every time.
>Grenades have damage range
Oh god, not even explosives are reliable now?
anyone have that snek woman on human woman greentext?
>>319751889
Yeah man, I completely agree.
My first classic ironman wipes were solely to thinking tactically.
>Aha, I can use this guy here to hunker down and draw fire while the rest go around and fla-
>POD ACTIVATED POD ACTIVATED
Once I adopted the congaline the game became systematic, boring and very fucking easy, but it seems like that's the way you're supposed to play.
XCOM 2 might remedy this a bit with patrols and whatnot, but pods are still there.
>>319757323
Haven't they changed pods so that they actually walk from place to place instead of magically teleporting halfway across the map between turns? I think that should solve a lot of issues with pods suddenly appearing all around your squad.
>>319757978
The conceal mechanic should solve the pod problematic to be fair. A lot of the issues with pods was that they activated by line of sight but now you can actually stay hidden and scout the map with more freedom. Reinforcements having a big "we're gonna land here" signal also allows you to prepare.
