>western garbage
Take a wild guess.
>>321644036
No. Still only one action per character unless specific ability says otherwise because no time units.
Chance to hit probably still set in stone like the last game.
Heard nothing about having multiple bases let alone defending them.
On short it's no UFO defense.

No, I do not get hyped for videogames anymore, nor should you.
>>321644036
I enjoyed the first one , playing it in babymode with saves and loads , but didnt like it enough to try a second playthrough in ironman.
I will just play this one in ironman see how it feels , but im not crazy about it.

EW isn't a standalone expansion dumbass. You need EU to run it and it clearly states so on the product page.
I'm playing UFO Defense which is a lot better than 2012 XCOM. I'm kind of excited, but not really.
>>321649567

>>321649346
I thought they would use a revamped version of the original chryssalid design after doing just that with snakemen aka Vipers, a little disappointed it's just the same design with more spikes and glow, oh well.
At least they mixed the formula up a little. I am still pissed the expansion for UFO Unknown is a stand alone with bug patches and robotics.
>>321650263
Yeah pretty much.
Mods will fix it though.
>>321650339

I'm glad the male soldiers look like ordinary guys rather than all Blast Hardcheese.
One of my gripes with the first game was the fact that you couldn't choose a soldier's race and gender. Has that been fixed, or is it still random?

I am, yet I will wait until there will be a Complete Edition.
Also to all who think this is all wasted potential, I think XCOM 2 has a lot of potential for additional sequels. Especially how human society will look in a post-ADVENT world when XCOM retakes Earth.

I seriously doubt it. One of the reasons for them sticking with PC this time around was because the console versions of the EU/EW sold extremely poorly. Why port if there's no profit to be made, especially since the interface is increasingly controller un-friendly.

>>321644036
No because they're designing it to be console-friendly again so they can make a console version in late 2016.
In all seriousness, what could be new that would totally blow the first one out?

Highly unlikely. Director of the game pretty much admitted he hates consoles.
Console might get it but don't expect it any sooner than at least a couple of years.
>>321658798
Classes seem a lot more diverse, they're showing off a million special abilities, even the aliens have way more tricks. It seems like there's going to be a lot more strategy to the combat as a result.
Here's hoping it's not too obnoxious in that regard. I still like the basic "get to cover, flank their cover" mechanics.

Hell yes I'm hype.
You can now change everything on soldiers. Sex, race, nationality, etc.
No more niggers, spics, or other shit-skins to ruin my elite military organization.
Also no more stupid 50/50 sex diversity. More like 90% male 10% waifus
>>321660037
I'm torn on Long War. On one hand it's a great mod that adds a ton of interesting content to the game, and makes a bunch of quality of life changes that are well worth it. However, it goes overboard with most of what it does, and it's too much at times. Often the fights will end up boiling down to you set up in a corner of the map killing constant aliens that just pour into your guns, which can be fun for a bit, but not every damn fight.
It's worth checking out, but personally I didn't keep it for too long.
>>321660037
Long War makes it more playable, not necessarily "fun".
When you play Vanilla, you know what perks in your skill trees to get and what to give people to max their damage.
How many people honestly get a Sniper without Squadsight? Not many.
In Long War it fixes this by having every skill tree point worth it, a Sniper starts with Squadsight, or can be a Scout (but no sniper rifle).
Also, there are more guns. Mobility is far more hindered in Long War, and guns have different weights and items do too. This makes it more difficult to take EVERYTHING with you. You have multiple types of grenades, and you get a number of items you can replace your nades with. Its not unusual for a character to have no nades on mission 5 or 6. Sometimes you want that motion sensor, or lazor sighting.
I remember it takes me around 5-10 minutes to set up my crew before even going into the mission. You have SMGs and assasult rifles and battle rifles, all which do differnet things for your damage/mobility.
It also balances out class abilities, like rockets by giving them natural spread.
Its very good for what it does, and it gives so much depth into the game. It really is one of the greatest mods out of there.

You're forgetting the part where the autist that made Long War is so dedicated to his "Being anally raped is fun" mindset that he ruined the balance of the game by making jet repairs take literal weeks, which means if you so much as get scratched when downing a UFO, you've flat-out lost the game. Plus his idea of increasing difficulty is making the ayys disgustingly huge damage sponges while XCOM remains a bunch of fragile stickmen in comparison, which is the fucking opposite of the game he's trying to emulate where the humans AND aliens were fragile and could die to any stray shot.
Stop fellating this mod, you have to edit a bunch of it on your own to an obscene degree before it becomes playable.

>It seems like there's going to be a lot more strategy to the combat as a result.
The AI appears to be braindead in all footage released so far. Enemies go on overwatch when they've already flanked your soldiers and should simply shoot them. Or run away to get better cover even though they could have just one shot your rookie.
This is deeply worrying.

>>321665485
Dunno, guess it depends on the mod.
Posting video game characters is OK, when they're sexualized (showing panties, cleavage or whatever) then it's considered furry. I don't post furry, I dislike it due to the Great Furry War of 2005. Which is the reason why the rule exists.
Mods don't follow the same rules as each other, life goes on.
>>321660543
Thank fucking christ.
I had to mod women out of my game and fix the ratio of soldiers because I was getting fucking Aztec soldiers as often as US soldiers despite how much money we pump into military affairs and hte fact that Xcom is obviously funded primarly by muricans.

Cool story that never happened bro.
First of all, panicked soldiers don't shoot friendlies in long war. Or enemies for that matter.
Second, a 3.4 tile spread will never do a 165° unless you are firing almost point blank. This is basically impossible because the closer the target, the less the spread.

Just admit you have no argument already.
>>321667714
I'd argue it works as a spurdo then
>>321665496
Yes.
That visual was actually because console players had to distinguish soldier and weapon while sitting away form the TV.
Everyone is better proportioned now
>>321668048
You actually do though. Part of being furshit is being outright untastefully obnoxious. This is the line between anthro and full blown furshit. The same line you'd use between casually enjoying media from Japan and being a neckbearded Naruto loving weeb.
>mfw I never completed The Bureau
That game could have been really really good had it had the same, collect, research, capture as other XCOM/UFO games.
I just read the story since I got stuck and the save system was daft. So, it's implied that The Commander is the Ethereal.
Which is... odd. Couldn't they just study him and shit? Why was he captured if he's one of them?
Were the Ethereals different to the Ethereals of the Ayys?
>>321668134
not him but
Is a male character with muscles or a crotch at all sexualized?
>People praising The Bureau in this thread
That game was absolute garbage. The "twist" near the end was extremely obvious right from the beginning of the game.
>Carter gets wounded right at the start of the story
>The mysterious briefcase that you were carrying disintegrates and Carter is fully healed somehow
>"Oh good, I'm sure this won't have consequences further along in the story lol"
Also the fact that for some reason you switch protagonists right for the last mission. That made no sense and clearly shows they had ran out of ideas.
Nevermind the fact that the game runs on the retarded premise that a small covert agency can keep hidden the fact that the US is getting invaded by fucking aliens.
>>321668208
Anon, you're in denial. Painful denial. Anthro is furshit, cut and dry.
>>321668134
I've given you the reason why that guy was banned. So, it's up to you to argue with the mods. Not me.
If you think nudity = sexualization then why aren't you complaining to the French Government about the Le Havre which has hundreds of pictures of naked children. I mean, they're nude, that is automatically pornography, right? :^)
>>321668330

>>321668337
Whatever. I know the line between a simple kink and an obnoxious obsession AKA furshit.
>>321668443
They lifted alright.
>>321668278
Shut the fuck up. The game COULD have been amazing, but it wasn't. The game was restarted at least two times.
"Ran out of ideas" - No, they ran out of money. You do know Google exists and you can Google "The Bureau development" or something?
Jesus Christ, this is neo-/v/.
>>321668230
If the Commander is the Ethereal, then he has merged with a host and is helping Earth incognito.
And the Ethereals you fight are the fuck ups that didn't manage to evolve into energy beings, so they are awful butthurt about being left behind. That's the impetus for their experiments, to try and ascend into energy beings.
>>321668230
> get to the final mission
> lose all will to play because the storyline is just pants on head retarded and I can't see this ending in any satisfying way
> quit right then and there
By what you're describing sounds like that feeling was correct.
And the Ethereals as a species ascended to a higher plane or someshit. The ones invading earth were scrubs that couldn't manage to do it so now they're looking for another species with more psi potential.
>>321668278
Knowing that there is a twist, and knowing what the twist is, is not the same thing.
>>321668412
Is a retarded reason.
>If you think nudity = sexualization
You are the one defending that line of thinking.
So i am going to assume you are just retarded.
And the rule doesn't say anything about sexualization, just "anthropomorphic" so yes, the sectoid will break the rule as much as a sneik woman with tits.
Anybody else have some nice fanart?

Goddamn I miss when chryssalids were cool
>>321668559
I know what happened to the game. I know that it was gonna be a tacticool FPS with goo shaped enemies that had nothing to do with XCOM sans the name.
The Bureau is nothing more than an attempt to salvage what they had and make at least a bit of profit out of it, and it shows. The story makes no sense, the characters are flat and uninteresting and the tweeeest you retards rave about was super obvious.
And I didn't even touch the issues with the gampelay (it's just a super shitty Mass Effect clone with terrible, terrible AI).

I didn't rave about the tweest. I knew it was going to happen when he goes "muh gun wound is healed". I didn't know -what- exactly had caused it, only that it was going to pop up again.
The point is, it was a very mediocre game with great potential and the acting and story was better than many expected. It linked well into XCOM:EU and that was likely the reason the game was restarted. People moaned like shit it wasn't a remake, and then EU was announced and everybody forgot about it. They probably contacted each other and went "wanna link this to our game?" and they did.
You could tell dozens of features were missing, ability to talk to people, research, capture pods and loads of other shit.
However it wasn't terrible, no matter what you say, it just wasn't very good. However the story implications and linking to EU is why people enjoy it, as EU turned out pretty damn good, despite what nostalgiagoggle faggots say.

No, it's just incredibly boring. Once you've done original XCOM, Open XCOM, UFO's (all of them) and Xenonaughts, you've just had a fucking enough and just want to splat some xenos without worrying about making sure ur dudes have ammo and shit.
There are more games with autism management than games like EU and EU is easier to get into because of that.
>>321669658
I'd say use Open XCOM. But there are loads, plus similar games like Xenonauts (newest) and UFO.

>>321670690
Why not talk about both?
>>321670184
XCOM: UFO Defence (also known as UFO: Enemy Unknown, thanks confusing titles!).
OpenXCOM is essentially a clone of the above game but stuff is made easier. It too is free http://openxcom.org/
Then there UFO: Aftermath and UFO: Aftershock and UFO: Afterlight. Which is a different series, but same premise.
Then there is Xenonaughts which is basically a modern remake of XCOM: UFO Defence. It has the same demands, like giving ammo every mission and managing multiple bases and shit.
X-COM: Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within basically scraps the idea of micromanging ammo production and assumes you've always got enough ammo on you for a big fight.

That's not rng, faggot. That's plain old incompetence.

There's an option in Long War that shows the enemies chance to hit. Those cunts will take 20% shots at you if they feel like it. That might seem like nothing, but there lack of fucks given about chance means they're going to take a shot way more often than you will. They might miss half a dozen times, but if you leave them alive for more than a turn or two they will likely land a shot.

> the huge fucking alien tank is harder to hit than a tiny sectoid
thanks firaxis
I really like the characters in these games. The idea of having a full squad of different people from different countries and being able to customize them is cool. I was never able to really get into them, though. Any ideas on where should I start?
>>321669423
>You may as well ask for your own chryssalids.
I have been asking for them. And XCOM doing terror missions.
>>321673854
I NEED IT
I had fun with the previous one so yeah
I'll savescum again though
>>321674110
I was a savescummer but trying ironmannormalhas been quite satisfying, and I've only really lost a few units.
COMMANDER THE SNEKS HAVE ESCAPED CAPACITY
SCALY KNOCKERS HAVE REACHED CRITICAL LEVELS
WE CAN'T CONTAIN IT
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>321673990
If you want to customize the shit out of soldiers, EU with the expansions does alright. But nothing like what they showed off for 2 exists yet, as far as I know.

>>321670335
Almost certainly because the marketing team of Xcom definitely knows about the lewd snakes and even post fanart on the official twitter. So it's not a stretch to have an ingame joke on it.
>45 gigs
fuck me i need to set up my new 4TB HDD already
>>321674440
So...cute....
>>321674004
>mfw I doubt firaxis put in a mission in XCOM2 where the lids get out of control ala zerg/tiberian monsters/orkz and you and the aliens have to work together to stop them from destroying the planet and midway through the aliens turn on you or you turn on them or after everything is safe the truce ends.

SHUT IT DOWN
SHUT IT DOOOWN
>>321674893
only if snek
>>321674893
I'd fuck anything sufficiently feminine enough
>>321674893
Yes
>>321673617
I really love how they actually put COLORS in the game instead of washed out grey+blue+brown everywhere
>>321674893
Oh god, that was horrible!
>>321673432
I only hope a dedicated melee class is possible.
>>321673646
Another thing to note from this is that even trash ayys will have like a 40% chance to hit you in half cover. I'm sure you're bright enough to know to avoid half cover when ever possible, but you should keep that in mind.
>>321674893
They're really missing an opportunity for having a fempred assert dominance over a human male in those movies.
>>321673586
Reminds me of Divinity: Original Sin. Same plot but with an orc.
>>321665004
Not sure if you're still here, but
Could you draw snayyk as an actual snake?

Why would the marketing team like porn being made of their game?
> tfw no more mecs my rocket punch and/or flamethrower
I keep forgetting just how big snek is.
I wonder if the original snakemen will be referenced? They were even freakier than thin men,
>>321675641
Look at Evolve, half the reason people still remember that game is because of the Wraith porn.

I'm not usually into unbirth but that one pic was hot as fuck
>>321675641
This is sarcasm right?
There's marketing teams out there dedicated to making stuff sell by subtly appealing to your dick. Why do you think Internet Explorer got a cute anime girl mascot?
>>321674893

Marketing loves lewd. Just look at 4chan, you've got anon doing threads 24/7 about Xcom2 just because they want sneks. They even do it for free.

A big snek gf might be nice
>>321676848
>It doesn't have a vagoo
You think that stopped the porn?

>>321676776
Jesus
>>321675542
ayy ayy ayyayyyy ayy lmao
>>321676848
I'm sure it has some sort of hole somewhere
>>321676848
Since when has that stopped anyone?
>>321659824
I was running it on low quality on a HP dm4, occasionally had heat issues at which point cutscenes got pretty bad with framedrop, but overall it was still playable.
