It's necrotyzing venom that is also an acid
>>320722206
Yeah no calm down, Long War is extremely bloated and there's a lot of things wrong with it.
Besides, it's not like Firaxis doesn't know the modding community exists.
>>320722670
sneks don't have two holes, they have one hole like a bird
>>320722825
what's the day 1 dlc?
>another xcom thread ruined by fetishes
And this used to be a good series
I guess when you casualize a series the lowest common idiot comes in droves.
>>320723139
what if I told you that 4chan fetishized xcom even before the new series existedbecause that's exactly what /tg/ did
>>320723015
Long War is okay. It takes a bit of the rng, the frantic start month rush, and makes the game a bit more tactical (not by much).
>>320723246
No one gives a shit about /tg/ and xcom was never THIS degenerate
>>320722206
Fuck you, the best part about XCOM2 is that we'll get an actual modding community going on, and won't have to suffer Johnny's magnificent design.
LW is a bloated piece of shit
>>320723560
>magnificent design
I completely forgot about this
>>320723560
>actual modding community
inb4 most of the mods are "improved viper bodies"
>>320723358
Blame closet furries
>>320723358
It absolutely was.
The problem here is that you're on 4chan when you clearly want to be somewhere else like neogaf or tumblr.
>>320721326
It totally wrecked my shit on normal when I first played the game. Not I just got there and classic and it was a fucking cakewalk.
>>320724157
Mods I expect to see:
- physics based projectiles
- new camos
- classless soldiers
- balance tweaks
- more map designs
- new meshes
>>320724157
>tfw men in black was real and this actually happened

There, that's not so hard.
>>320724875
The only one with a rosy tinted view around here is you, bud.
4chan is a center of degeneracy. If you don't want that shit, don't even come here.
>>320723139
XCOM 2 isn't casual. Furries cling on to every game that they see features their fetish. It's garbage just know most XCOM players aren't into this degenerate trash as XCOM is probably one of the most masculine series still left.

>one of the most masculine series still left
How insecure do you have to be to care about this?
Hey buddy...come on over here...I got some cool video games to show you. What? No it's just me over here around this corner...trust me.
It will be a real turn based game, not like that shitty valkyria chronicles wannabe turn base tactical shit game. Or "be a cuck simulator"
Mods can make the graphics and even nude patches. So those "normal" breast plates for women are turned back to normal as it was.
Can't wait to kill some snakemen (Female), they were fun to blow up in the original.

Are psionics/genemods confirmed for XCOM2? I just love having these supersoldiers run about invisible and mind-control mechtoids.

>>320722206
>the worst part about xcom2 is that there won't be a long war mod at launch date
>>320721326
Dunno why people freak out over this mission so much. Might be because I coincidentally took 2 SHIVS when I did it and it seemed ok.
>>320726543
What is "why did I take this shitty perk"?
>>320726256
Yeah, shit like that is stopping me from downloading Long War. That and the Chryssalid with like 30 hp.
>>320726278
Yeah but I meant the pre-order. I want those sweet, sweet, pre-order bonuses.
How long before some "news" outlet claim Xcom 2 is supporting terrorism
Post YFW
Can I bring down the large UFO that has showed up at the start of the second month in Long war?
Will the complete pack be on sale on Steam do you think?
>>320726819
Long War is fine as long as you configure the INI to be fun and not completely fucking boring bullshit.
>>320726220
>holy shit stomping
>using mimetic skin
Well what do you expect with that broken nonsense?
>>320726543
>eggsalt
kek
>>320727007
It's designed to be boring from the start though. Might as well play it unmodded.
I want rape mods. I want to capture snakeladies, rape them into mind break and make cows for venom we can use on the field.
>>320726760
Probably Covering Fire.
>>320726819
Pre-orders never go on sale, anon.
>>320727257
I figured it might've been. Honestly Covering Fire is pretty okay, it's just that Sprinter is so much better.
>>320727123
I didn't use memetic skin for most of the game; only started augmenting my psionic team just there; I've had the gollop chamber for ages.
>>320727314
It's okay, but only if you go for a full overwatch build. And even then it's pretty situational.
>>320721326
Oh real? People have trouble with this one?
Admittedly I did it late in the campaign and was only playing on normal, but I just had my sniper set up on the stern of the ship with a couple supports. Each time the chryssalids spawned, they got opportunist'd like the bitches they are.
>>320721326
You can just ignore it until later in the game with Meld to make it piss easy
Alternately >>320724983 has the right of it, just get everyone in position before you find the whale and have the rookie ready to hit the button
>You will never have Soylent Green on your XCOM team
>>320726884
>American video game developers support ISIS
>>320722018
>classic snakeman on calendar
heh
I miss Beagle's Ironman Impossible, his Live and Impossible is lame
>>320727248
Long War is definitely a less bullshit starting experience. Your first 2 months in unmodded xcom decides everything else. Like first month you should rush 5 satelites, second month have beam weapons
>>320726992
I hope so, I'm planning on grabbing it. Apocalypse sounds pretty rad.
>>320727237
>EXALT bandannas are one of the customization options for XCOM2
>>320727460
If you don't know where you're supposed to go you can get fucked over by the Chrysallids
>>320726956
>at the start of the second month
I don't think so, I think it's more you're supposed to storm a landed, big ufo. I assume you can later on, but not the first couple ones. be ready for tons and tons of lmaos when you storm it
>>320728038
>EXALT bandannas are one of the customization options for XCOM2
Nice touch.
>>320728038
Yeah...I guess I was pretty thorough. I saved the corner with the ship til last, so that helped.
>>320720975
I hope the difficult on this one raises up steadily. I hated on earlier XCOM how the difficult spiked up like a damn wall at that one point of the game.
>Inb4 get better.
Game is fucking with stupid ass enemy moves
>>320728112
Yeah I see, I had equipped 2 of my birds with stingrays and even the best of dicerolls didn't seem to do much they took quite a few hits from it. I didn't get a large UFO landing my first month, or at least not one that I alerted of which is why I was wondering if I was supposed to bring that one down.
I want to do classic ironman of EW before xcom2 comes out, any quick tips?
>Everyone crying about Newfoundland
>All of these people never experienced night time snakemen terror missions
>>320728289
I think I got it in the second month too on my last campaign. within the first week but still. might have been patched. Their cannons just do so much damage, assuming you have like 3 birds available.. I wonder if it could even be done if all of them had lasor cannons. Maybe then
>>320728529
Whats the difference then?
Flares was anoying and bigoted.
>Snakewomen were tallmen in disguise.
Anyone else found this odd as the dev said it?
>>320728529
>crying about newfounland
Because Snakemen themselve are piss easy.
And that mission is Chryssalids/Zombies only.
Do the math.
>>320728667
You couldn't outrun chrysies.
Chrysies were 1-hit killers.
It was dark as fuck an ayyliens could see in the dark
You couldn't see Chrysies charging at you before it was too late
Flares were the only thing that could save you from certain doom.
>>320728729
Not really. Alien genetic modification is one helluva drug.
>>320728729
Going back its not really surprising.
They have snake eyes, hiss and almost slither around the place.
>>320728867
Terror Unit Types
Cyberdisc - the Sectoid's terror unit.
Reaper - the Floater's terror unit.
Chryssalid - the Snakeman's terror unit.
Zombie - an intermediate stage of the Chryssalid.
Celatid - One of the Muton's two terror unit types.
Silacoid - One of the Muton's two terror unit types.
Sectopod - The Ethereal's terror unit.
Terror missions had specific races for each deployment.
>>320728729
For one thing, they're Thin Men, not tallmen.
And not really, the aliens don't seem to have genders themselves other than the Thin Men who are only human on the surface level. The Snake Ladies may even be mixed, but we'll only see the 'lady' model due to limited dev time.
If you could slow down the invasion 4 times then that would be great. Campaigns wont be aslong as the longwar mod. It will be just that right place between too long and tedious and EUPHORIA.
>>320722018
>that clipboard
smut is always better when it's funny
>>320726220
Aliens are confirmed for having them
I don't see why we wouldn't get psionics again late-game.
>>320728729
I think it's less in disguise and more like they bred and genetically modified them into a new race of aliens for the sole purpose of passing off as human, with the Snakewomen being the genetic template.
Kind of how the Archon are basically floaters, but they wouldn't turn floaters into archons, they would probably start from scratch with the floater template rather than turn all floaters into archons, and then stash all the remaining floaters somewhere, probably a closet.
>>320729087
No shit sherlock.
Now remove snakemen from the mission and subside them with Chryssalids only that endlesly respawn.
>>320730648
The thing is that he's talking about UFO Defense Chryssalids and you're talking about Enemy Within Chryssalids, though.
>>320730648
That only respawn when the beacon is activated.
That you can literally outrun if you keep dashing
And:
>Remove the Snakemen
Why would i, they were a part of the squads, just like with other aliens in EW terror attacks.
In no way, are modern chrysalids even as half as scary/dangeours as they used to be.
>>320731069
Because we were talking about EW Chryssalids.
And i don't remember in UFO defense that there was Anchorage Newfounland mission.
Who /fuck my shit up/ here?
>>320731291
Never did I once mention EW chryssalids.
Does the night time even chnage anything in EW?
>>320731291
Pretty sure you were talking about the Newfoundland mission in comparison to night time snakemen terror missions.
>>320731296
Woah is that Xcom2?
>>320731503
Time of day has no effect in XCOM EU/EW and so far there has been no indication that it will have more than a cosmetic effect in XCOM 2.

Guys, I thought Xcom reboot sucked! Stop being hyped for something inferior to the original and play a true tactical game like Xenonauts.
>>320728391
abuse the fuck out of explosives in the first couple months
also rushing a mec is pretty great for the early game
>>320733307
I think I'd rather wait for Xenonauts 2. That whole time units thing was kind of clunky.
>>320733380
This anon is on point. Each of your soldiers has a grenade, use it to take out the sectoids/thin mints cover and then shoot them in the face
>>320726543
It's missing one

>>320732995
d-did you go over the top or jump up the side?
>>320734014
Well, top left guy is dead, that car is going to explode. Actually.. maybe not he's got more t han 6.
>>320733436
I honestly have mixed feelings about xenonauts. A lot of the missions feel like a fucking snipe hunt. The enemy AI seems kinda weak. They don't really coordinate with one another and it's usually a fight with the lone alien you stumble upon. then the vehicles and HMGs make it feel more unbalanced. Send out scouts to flush the aliens, then just nuke the area with a tank or suppress em with HMG. It all just feels easier than the original and the reboot.
>>320721512
Eh, I would still hit it.
>>320734170
holy shit for real?
Will this get proper mod support
>>320731296
>soldiers actually have reactions to being the last squadmate alive on the way back

VIGILO CONFIDO
>>320734363
yeah, permanent Will reduction if a mission goes to absolute shit. only way to fix it is to send them on missions that go perfectly, next to no casualties
>>320734489
Yes, it even has Workshop support. Which doesn't mean everything, but it certainly means they at least give a shit about mods.
The developers said Long War actually inspired them to include more mod support. I should probably try Long War.
>>320734363
I wonder if it'll affect their attitude.
>>320734214
Im pretty sure I just had her run up the stairs in the boat
I mean it doesnt really matter, a colonel with an alloy canon and that ability to shoot anyone that closes within 4 squares is never going to be touched by a chrysalid
I want to get Enemy Within on my phone, I'm travelling around a lot for Christmas and don't have a laptop.
Anyone know how the game runs on the Moto G?
>>320734645
>long war
huh, what was so good about it that the devs got inspired
>>320734913
Adds new features and it's fucking hardcore
>>320721326
Did this mission on my first try...
>>320734913
I think one thing they're really impressed with is that it was made at all, considering that XCOM:EU is the opposite of mod friendly.
>>320734489
yeah, they're giving out the UE editor they make the game with, all of the assets (roughly 50 GB), a Visual Studio app for it, and even some of the script source code along with Steam Workshop support.
>>320734913
adds a lot more depth and longevity to the base game, lots of rebalancing and even bug fixing. the lead director of EU/2 has said he's perfectly fine with people viewing vanilla EU as a 20 hour tutorial for LW.
>>320735029
I believe you.............................
>>320734913
Everything. Long War tackles limitations self imposed in vanilla. It also fixes pods teleporting, introduces randomized LZ's, not to mention the revamping of all the classes and something like quadrupling the amount of equipment in the game. Also the airgame is better.

But... Their tale is the size of their hips. It wouldn't be panties at all, it'd just be a band of fabric with flaps at the front and back, like a lingerie loincloth.
>>320736667

>>320736753

>>320731296
goddamn this game's gonna be so good.
>>320736950
They have alien technology, I propose that snek lingerie passes the connecting fabric area through a higher dimension.
I try not to get too hyped but I think this will be the best game in years.
>>320735170
The airgame is dramatically worse. Literally "savescum until you win, because you lose 90% of the time and can't build replacements fast enough when you do"
the xcom general has had a pastebin link almost since longwar released which fixes the massive airgame fuckups.
I really hope you will be able to send more than one interceptor at a time like in the original game. I always liked double-teaming the UFOs
>>320740193
There are no interceptors in XCOM 2.
>>320740286
I thought they haven't shown the air game yet.
>>320727253
savage
>>320740338
Solomon confirmed that there isn't one.
>>320740471
Maybe that is for the better, since I disliked the remake's air game.
>>320739862
you're not supposed to take down every single UFO, sometimes you have to ignore even the small ones and keep a pair of interceptors for satellite hunters
>>320740193
same here, i would have been great if they had an interceptor game like in xenonauts
>>320731296
This guy would have a gun in his mouth if he were in my XCOM 1 game after Newfoundland.

>i would have

Finally got around to playing this after it sitting in my backlog for a year, I love it.
Started my game without ironman mode, but I decided after starting to just not save scum at all and just start over after I get to a point of no return.
Chrysalids are fucking brutal. pic related.

>Should i play the ones that are on consoles?
Absolutely not.
>>320741864
>Shuold i play the ones that are on consoles?
NO
If you want to play the original one use OpenXcom, if you want to play the new one play Enemy Within, since it's an expansion and doesn't feature a different campaing
>>320740338
There's probably going to be some element of defense, as base defenses happen in X2 when UFOs are able to find and shoot down the Avenger. Otherwise, the traditional airgame is gone and they focused on expanding the geoscape instead to let the player be more proactive and have more decisions.

No.
Thin mints were already Snakemen in disguise.
In XCOM2, ayys won so they needed Snakemen to be more human friendly because having those fuckhuge snake monsters would be a bit unsettling.
Same reason why this is the new floater instead of the abomination they were originally.

>>320735442
Nice to know that this shit can't happen anymore because Overwatch shots are sequential. So if anything like Lightning Reflexes exists, it will trigger for the first shot and then mean jack for the next one.
Probably why the Ranger gets Phantom instead, which makes you a non valid target for overwatch, which just allows you to run past them and then shoot or slash them.
Also so glad that overwatch gets turned off if you hit them with anything. No more fuckers sitting there just overwatching anymore, just got to fucking throw a grenade at them.
Also fall damage, fucking awesome. And Grenadiers can get something so their explosions crit.
>>320721117
I still don't get why would you ever play Ironman in a game with so many RNG mechanics. In the last mission I played I managed to miss 2 78% shots, 1 82% and two 44% in the same turn, while the enemy got a critical and killed my MEC
>>320744494
Too bad all of that applies to your troops too.
REMOVE AYY LOVERS
>>320721443
Had to play that mission 4 times in classic to make it loseless. Somehow managed to make it at the first try in Regular
>>320744721
Because that's just how XCOM is and not everyone is a savescumming faggot.
>>320744794
You win some, you lose some. Just got to remember it when the time comes. Overwatch traps should never be something you rely on anyway. I doubt I will overwatch nearly as much in 2 as I did before. There just seem to be far too many other options to take.

>>320743843They appear as a mindfucked enemy completely loyal to the ayysYou can't unmindfuck them
>>320744721
Isn't that the point of a game with RNG stuff in it? Why would they design a game with dice rolls and chances if they knew the average player was going to just keep reloading the game over and over?
>>320744721
Because that's how strategy and war works. You prepare for the worst and hope for the best. You're suppose to deal with the losses and missed shots. If you can't do that then you're just not good at the game.
>>320745192A strong hit (or few hits) to head should do the trick.not like you want to save them now anyway, when once loyal soldiers are now dirty snakefuckers.
>>320744721
The chance of some bullshit encourages you to include redundancies when you're planning. Of course once in a while I agree you really get the shit RNGed out of you, but a streak of bad luck on a mission shouldn't be enough to put your entire game in a fail state if you've been playing well up to that point.
>>320744721
there are people that don't play ironman?
>>320745610
some people don't find joy in digital suffering and that's okay, anon.
>>320745610
I stopped playing Ironman the moment I lost a 20 hours save due to some really bullshit string of RNGs
>>320745396
>>320745235
>>320744973
>bragging about being lucky
Seriously though, it only makes me not rage when I get one of endgame soldiers, and that happens rarely enough, I am okay with dying a lot at the start, but not when you literally won the battle next turn, you miss your 80%+ shots and get a crit
>>320745610
I play Ironman in spirit. The reason I don't actually turn it on is because I lost a ~25 hour game to a bug that made a mission stuck on the loading screen forever.
>>320745610
actual ironman?
fuck that, there are bugs
>>320746350
>Bragging about being lucky
No. I've had plenty of soldiers die to RNG bullshit. I just don't whine and cry about it. I pick my ass back up and keep powering through it.
>>320746350
lel, you actually think those moments where you have 80%+ to hit and whiff with all your guys and then get fucked on the enemy's turn don't happen to everyone? That's just how the game is. It's not for everyone, it can be very frustrating.

Any word on MEC troopers returning? I like the new exo suits but I'm hoping they do something cool with MECs. Full on cyberisation, maybe, or bio-mechanical hardsuits?
>>320747401
There's a 6th class being added in the summer DLC called Shen's Last Gift, people are speculating it's related to MECs due to that name.
>>320747401
It's probably the class you gotta pay for
>>320747326

>>320746406
Happened once in my very first gameplay of EW in Regular on my X360, the game froze when an ayy lmao was going to take a reaction shot
Does saving before a mission and only reload if I lose a Colonel in end game missions(basically when Ethereal appear) count as ironman? My memorial has 60 people
>>320746525
>>320746406
>>320746223
Honestman is the same as Ironman... As long as you don't save scum.
>>320747098
That's how tactics work yes. Perhaps you should of valued your colonel and put him in a better position than playing offensively. Surely one less shot wouldn't have hurt.
>>320748390
I am talking about something happening when the mission will be basically over next turn but I manage to miss the last enemy

It was the most memorable and intense XCOM runs I had. Losing your A team is one hell of a setback, but it's not an automatic Game Over. I had a blast that game. It's tragic losing good soldiers, but it also makes the game way more interesting.
Don't be afraid to lose a soldier. Don't try to lose them, but don't give up if it happens.

Does how commonly does the Long War mod crash with a pirated copy? The nexus page mentions an error but whatever they always do because reasons. I'm interested in trying this supposedly hugely revamped game but realistically not interested in paying 30 quid to A to try B's game overhaul.
>>320749704
I played it for a few hours with pirated copy, no crashes.
>>320749704

I beat the game on classic ironman a little while back. I've had a few attempts at Impossible Ironman but realised I'm too bad to beat it. I went back to classic and I'm getting so frustrated. I have no idea what the optimal builds are for the base and the fastest way to get satellites up. I researched Beam Weapons by the second month but have no engineers with which to build them. I'm getting so frustrated with the game sometimes. Nothing worse that deliberately aggroing a pack, missing all the shots that turn and losing guys. I hate the way the game calculates line of sight and accuracy. Thin men will one shot you no matter where you are and you can but inside a floater's asshole but you still can't hit him. Feels needlessly frustrating at times.
>>320752794

What difficulty are you on that you aren't restarting from getting dicked?
>>320754108
It was WAAAAAYYY before humans became psychic.
It was like, way at the beginning of the war, before XCOM even discovered laser weapons.
>>320754108
The Aylums struck before Xcom really got anything going, they didn't even have lasers when Sectopods, Elite Mutons and Berserkers came knocking down the base gate.
So don't expect anything.
Reminder that there are people on /v/ RIGHT MOTHERFUCKING NOW who don't play with Ironman on.
>>320754108
apparenly we didn't even managed to research lasers
i like to think that this is what actually happend based on the statisics on impossible difficulty: most of the peoples gave up or restarted and now it's canon

Then I decided to man up with Long War and not save scum.I made a mistake.
>>320722206
I like Long War and all but not really for many of the balance changes.
Personally from what I've heard that they've added in XCOM 2 that is clearly inspired by Long War is the shit I liked like the Aliens having their own research that they have to advance down.
People that play Long War, have any of you been a bad enough dude to actually complete a game.

So I finally got pretty far on ironman classic mode after being normal mode a couple years ago. I got to the part where they invade my base, but it came up at an awkward time when no one was equipped with anything so I died. I know you can restart it even on ironman, but I'm wondering if I'm getting a little bored with this playthrough anyway.
Is it worth trying out Long War? I never played it yet.

I wish Firaxis knew how to balance their game well at higher difficulty levels. I dropped EW fairly quickly just because there seemed to be a much higher rate of bullshit overwatches and random enemies dropping in from nowhere. It's just much more interesting when the player has to make tactical decisions which can go wrong, rather than allowing the player to do everything right and then punishing them anyway.
Turns out the most difficult and fun run I've had in this game was on normal difficulty in EU, just with self imposed challenges. Pic related.

heart attack i believe.
I just started a Long War game with Dynamic war on and only got 4 missions in the first month, so I still have like 20 rookies. Is this normal or did something go terribly wrong?
>>320760010
Weirdly, two of the guys pictured actually made it out alive. IIRC it was the mind controlled assault and the panicking support. The one guy who kept is shit together died.

>>320760408
Long War stretches the number of missions out over a longer period of time.
I hope you don't retreat from any of them, that just makes the aliens stronger.
>>320760492you do and if it gets too crowded you have to prioritize.
>>320759905
>suicide bomber
that will be my every african and arab rookie's designation
and btw' I thing we all have been flagged by nsa after posting this shit
>>320760494
I know but most Long War games I've played so far have given me way more missions in the first month and I always see people say it's a good idea to have at least half your rookies promoted once by the end of march, and I only have 10 promoted and not a single corporal.
>>320725965
SLEEP TIGHT AYY LMAO
>>320760826
Interestingly, you can actually take down Sectopods with suicide bombers.. Sectopods have a splash radius to their attacks, so if you stand directly adjacent to them, they'll actually damage themselves. Pic related.
>>320760848
pretty sure that dynamic war means that the number of mission is halved
>>320724157
>gayyyyyyyyy lmao
What are the red flags on XCOM 2?
Don't care about any of the single-player p2w day one dlc bullshit; not a buyfag.
>>320758341
dont, it becomes so mind numbingly boring that it almost made me stop playing xcom entirely.
>>320751551

That's it for red flags, really.

Interesting.
XCOM 2 "Retaliation" Trailer kinda shows the 5th class at 1:42
>>320764359
You sure that's not just something like the covert ops in Enemy Within?
>>320759153
Im calling some sort of social infiltrator type.. would make sense, if you look at the first announcement trailer, xcom soldiers are clearly overwatching for the one civilian going through the security checkpoints. They even hold fire until the mindreading ayy points her out.
>>320764359
Except that's just a special cut-scene outfit
>>320764821
I'm not really seeing it. A class like that seems like it would be mostly useless for most parts of your average mission.
>>320764359
after rewatching the trailers,,
on the announcement trailer, the chick with a purse walking down the street. Well, I suppose she could be like an Xcom operative, she avoids the security scan as the announcement that all have to be scanned, how the sectoid reacts when she walks by and she also has the same pants as the Sniper.

FUCK NEWFOUNDLAND.
>>320745014
Not to mention that XCOM 2 is supposed to be much more fast paced than XCOM was since so many of the missions will have time limits.
What do you guys think about the character pool system? What pools will you make?
>Vidya characters?
>80s action movie stars?
>Friends & Family?
>Waifus?
>>320731296
soldiers who've lived through many missions and watched a lot of rookies die. i keep sending them out so that they'll die and not have to live without something to fight for
>>320765005
Like how the soldier you sent on exalt missions was pretty worthless, but needed to complete those missions?
>>320758548
>the pictures on the wall behind the menu screen
you will be remembered
>>320757204
Yeah, but we at least get Exo-Suits, which feels like a scaled down MEC. Plus who knows what they'll add in eventual DLC
>>320762254
With dynamic war on it's not so bad, actually get new stuff in a decent time frame. Default is horrible though.
>>320762190
There isn't any p2w or day one DLC. There are really next to no red flags shown of at all everything seems improved. If I had to say anything It would be AI behavior, but I think them playing more aggressive will make it harder.
>>320769030
Alternately, spawncamp the whale, gut the mission of all tension.
>XCOM 1
>Chrysalids show up during Terror mission
>Fuck my shit up leaving everyone dead
>Lose a country
That's when I had to step up
>>320762190
Honestly, it looks like it fixes a lot of stuff I didn't like about the previous game, and doesn't do anything stupid. As long as it's not as bad as EU/EW in terms of aliens being op early, and underwhelming late, it'll be great.
Fucking mouse won't stop double/triple/fucktouple clicking on singular clicks.
So much for playing xcom EW until I'm able to afford a new one.

>>320773621
Does this really happen?
I don't mean to sound like 'Works for me! ;^)' but this is just as strange issue that I've never encountered. I don't think I've ever even heard of it before.
>>320735442

very common thing
with razershit in particular it's practically guaranteed to happen eventually.

I tried one of their mice once, and it was the most painful, buggy ass experience I've ever had. How are they still in business with products and support that terrible?
>>320775431
Just give them all your upgraded armor and weapons. They stand a better chance.
>>320755035
2K as publishers
>>320721326
That mission is easy. All you need to do isbreak line of sight.
>>320726513
Hopefully it won't need one. I love LW, but supposedly Firaxis is taking a lot of aspects of it for Xcom 2.
I think the only truly bullshit mission is the one where they assault XCOM HQ. It can be a cakewalk or it's the fanciest way of corrupting your save if you were caught with your unis not equipped properly when it triggers. You think you'd get a chance to equip your dudes. I know it's supposed to be an ambush, but still.

Deck him out in Archangel Armour and place him across on the next pier.
You'll be the one AYYLMAO'ing after this.
>>320776882
The Newfoundland mission can happen before any of that shit is available, except maybe SHIV.
>>320776169
>playing on ironman
This is what you get.
>>320750539
yeah and the physical copy will need a 4gig patch day one probably
XCOM thread?
Threadly reminder that there is NO good reason to not have Enemy Within for those delicious MEC's.
>>320721117
Classic and above aren't worth the hassle. You can't even get laser weapons before the game starts throwing Rape Men at you and your whole squad gets annihilated by crits through full cover
>>320774051
This mouse I've got is at the very least 10 years old. It's so faded I can't even recognize the brand.
Will there be regular thin men, sectoids, floaters and so on? Thin men are one of my favorite designs aesthetically.
>>320778089
So far, there has been no sign that they will be in the game.
>>320776158
that was the best/most memorable mission at first time
>most experienced soldiers are in infirmary
>2 somewhat good soldiers with starting weapons
>all others are rookies or squaddies with assault rifles
>and mr' Chen using heavy laser
that win actually meant something,,
Is it worth getting medkits after the first mission?
I feel like another grenade is more beneficial
>>320777554
A day without xcom is a day without life.
>>320779157
I personally felt like grenades saved more lives than medkits when everyone's weapons suck.
>>320778089
>>320778272
thin men have turned back to vipers, but it showed one in the new trailer cinematic, all others species are in but apparently have spent the last 20 yers lifting
>inb4 the ethereals are stronger than senator Armstrong
fucking mods deleting gachimuchi threads
>>320779157
grenade can remove cover and always do damage, but you should always keep a medikit on someone in the back, like a sniper
