Reposting from previous campaign
>>126376521
Solved this, but now I have yet another error.
As soon I start a new game and I have to choose the starting country for the XCOM base, I see nothing displayed, if I press Confirm, a mission starts but it doesn't load and I end up in a black screen.
>>126378763
And samefagging too to damn well confirm it.
Anyone else think we might have 4 tiers in the game? Maybe more?
Traditional Ballistics > Mag Weapons > Lasers(?) > Plasma(?)
>>126378784
What if I like the Air Game?
>>126378917
What tiers did Long War have?
Ballistic > Laser > Gauss > Plasma?
I think I'm forgetting something. Did anything use the Exalt laser gun models?
>>126378445
>Cover vs concealment
do you even know what those words mean or are you just spouting BREAK LOS memery
>>126379210
I think laser shows up twice, once as coherent beams and again as pulse.
I think beam lasers came first and used exalt lasers, then it's xcom beefy big chrome lasers for pulse.
>>126378662
Guys,
I'm trying to run Enemy Within on my shitty laptop since I'm out of town.
It's an Intel dual core 2.4 ghz with a shitty graphics processor that meets all the minimums except that it has only 64 MB of video ram.
I put everything to low and used the lowest resolution it would allow me to but it still runs choppy. It does run but I just can't handle how unsmooth it is.
How do I further fuck with the config to make the game even less demanding? I just want it to run smoothly. I don't care if it looks good for now. I can tell I'm close but there are no more options in the setting area to make lower.
What mods do you want to see for Xcom 2?
I want there to be a chance of there being resistance fighters in the maps, at first just places like the wilderness or shanty towns, you could run into them hiding out, or in combat with Exalt units, and you can recruit them by approaching them like civilians in EU terror missions, which gives you control over their actions for the rest of the mission then adds them to your roster when you complete the mission.
Later as support for the Xcom program increases you could inspire resistance fighters to be more bold, perhaps you're in a suburb, or even a city, and some civvies have managed to procure a few guns, ready to join in on the fight if one breaks out in their neighborhood, but still a lot more rare of an occurrence than finding fighters out in the woods.
yo this game doesnt work btw
>>126379698
Run it at a lower resolution
Let's see some pics of potato xcom
i made this lady shoot and now the game wont respond
shes just standing here with this camera and nothing is happening. idle animations are still going but it won't return control to me or anything

Yo, XCOM's on steam sale today. I already have the base game (enemy unkown), but I want Enemy Within DLC. http://store.steampowered.com/app/225340/ And the funny thing is that it's more expensive than all dlcs and base game together. What are my options to buy only enemy within and make it cheaper? (Or if I do buy the complete pack, do I get base game as a copy that I can give away?)
>>126380264
Just buy the complete pack, it's only 10 bucks

>>126380405
k, fuck it all, i bought the complete pack.
>>126378763
Where did you find this screenshot, never saw it before, nice find.
>>126378917
I don't know... i think they replaced lasers with magnetics.

I want to see a WW2 mod. The aliens stay the same, but the ame is placed during WW2 so you have the weapons and uniforms from that aera.
>>126380853

that would be fucking ridiculous
I just sent 4 soldiers with Archangel Armor and improved flight with 2 flying SHIV's to New Founland mission.
Fuck ayyliens.
>>126380853
The screens where from the Xcom 2 website - I clicked on the thumbs and opened them in a new tab, to my surprise they where full scale images . . . so I shared them here.
Im wondering if they have backups of the websites evolution on the internet wayback machine, I might be able to dig up a few more lost screens.

>>126378763
Is that a Berserk/Muton type or new enemy?

I just bought the game in the steam sale any tips?
>>126383071
Finish vanilla EW and then play long war then come back and ask tips.
>>126383071
try to figure out how the AI works.
its easy after that
>>126383071
Install Long War for fun times.
>>126383071
don't give up if something goes bad
>>126383718
I will and you can't stop me
>>126383071
Dont do what >>126383198 told you
Instead do this: play Enemy Within once on normal, then on ironman classic.
Then you're set for XCOM2 which is around the corner.
Do not touch Long War even though others might tell you to. It was made by people who got bored of vanilla due to figuring out every little thing, to people of similar mindset.
It is not like Jagged Alliance 2's 1.13 which is basically just an upgrade to the existing game, nor is it like OpenXCOM that makes the game modern and streamlined.
Imagine a tasty sandwich that leaves you hungry for more, thats your EW.
LW is that sandwich with a bit more topping, but sealed in a fucking basket full of sour milk which you also have to deal with if you want to enjoy that marginally better sandwich, and most likely you'll be full before finishing.
LW is not for first-timers.
Play vanilla EW. Then play XCOM2.
>>126383758
>>126383851
Dont listen to this guy he sucks at XCOM and shitposts regularly.
>>126384037
He probably also can't break LOS properly.
>>126380264

the fun continues...
I finally installed Long War yesterday. Every single mission I'm in either results in in every soldier dying or none of them even taking a spec of damage.
Is this normal, because it's just frustrating and makes me want to casual up and go back to vanilla EW. Is playing Long War even feasible without reading all these fucking FAQs?
>>126384965
question; how many hours do you have in xcom? (all games)
long war is all about AI manipulation, breaking line of sight, making your squads versatile, packing a LOT of damage, and being ahead in research constantly.
>>126384965
Well maybe you should have done like literally everyone with half a brain says and play the fucking vanilla game and git gud before going on to LW.
Classic/Ironman is the minimum requirement before trying LW.
>>126384965
nah thats pretty much how it works
ayys don't take shots they'll miss, so if anyone gets hit once, they're gonna get hit until they die
>>126384965
Break LOS
>>126384745
not what i was looking for, but gives me an idea of what to do
thanks
>>126384965
it's not supposed to be easy, people die a lot, if you're not careful, abuse line of sight breaking and knowing what your squad needs to prosper in each situation
>>126384624
Gotcha covered Commander.
>>126385141
>>126385170
I've beaten Enemy Unknown twice, once on vanilla EU and once with EW, though I've played a bunch of games I never finished because I quit in frustration halfway through.
Either way, I already understand the vanilla game very well. I'm probably just not used to all the additions in LW.
>>126385409
thank you, fine sir
i will take better care of this from now on
>>126385503
play lw on normal, over and over again until you finish a campaign.
practice makes perfect
LW is a lot different than vanilla, need time to get used to it.
when someone from council quits, is it game lost?
>>126385852
yeah. if you lose one you'll lose em all
if there's one piece of advice more improtant than Break LOS it's Rush SATs
>>126385852
game over when 8 countries leave
>>126386120
But losing 1 puts you in great disadvantage. Is it even sane to continue when someone quits?
>>126382330
>>126382451
Alright got a couple beers in me finally decided on what i'm gonna start with.
8 more to go, then it's on to the liqueurplese enjoy my shitty editing
>>126386213
If you play on anything above easy expect atleast 1 or 2 countries to quit.
You sadly can't be everywhere at the same time.
>>126383758
>>126386252
show us those sick skills
good luck beermander
>>126386252

>>126386358
>pointing is rude
Anyone else disappointed by these things in XCOM 2?
>The enemy AI with literally suicidal units like the stun lancer and Snaketits
>The horrible art design of some units, like the new cyberdisk looking straight out of Starcraft
>>126386213
if you are playing vanilla, the difficulty doesn't really get worse; you only lose some potential income, which isn't even important by the time you could have gotten it
if you are playing long war, you can retake lost countries and the campaign has so many things that can go wrong that restarting for every failure is a fool's errand
>>126386737
>new cyberdisk
>cyberdisk
>>126386737
Whats the new cyberdisk looked like?
>>126386961

You are very confused. That is the new floater, made to look not so horribly nightmarish. The cyberdisk is yet to be revealed if that makes you feel better.

Was there some kind of range nerf to bombard archers in b15?

>>126388773
well shit i knew i forgot to give someone a kill. oh well.
>>126388957
probably not but mods may be able to add it in. it just feels right to me, idk maybe because i started playing EU on 360 then EW on ps3 so i'm used to it.
>>126389127
It can be pretty comfy to just lean back in your office chair with a controller instead of hunching over the keyboard 24/7. I wouldn't care if they didn't have it, I just had not though about it till now.
>>126389391
I lay in bed with a keyboard and mouse playing xcom though.

>>126389161

>>126389583
That hunker animation is hilarious, its like a standing fetal position.
>>126389710
I dont know how to explain it well but im sitting up with like a million pillows behind me, blanket on and keyboard on my lap and mouse on a wooden thingy with a mouse pad on top.
>>126389913
Ok, sounds pretty comfy. I don't really have that option.

Damn so, you fucked up.
>>126390547
I guess I could move a couch in, but now I'm moving a couch across my house and buying a wireless keyboard and mouse when I already have a wireless controller.
I just got so angry about missing a bunch of high hit chances I kept shooting at the aliens in rage until I finally hit instead of just using a rocket to take them out. I lost two veterans.
I think it's time for a break.
>>126390737
I usually assume people don't have wireless controllers.
I'm like a fucking exception with that where i live.
Sneaking up on dem ayys man. feels good.
can't fucking wait for xcom 22 beers left, i'm ready for that whisky
You can actually do some cool breaches with fire as it turns out. For some reason, if you use the flamethrower, it will set ufo walls on fire and they will break after a few turns. Fire always ticks immediately at the end of your turn. So if you light a wall on fire and put everyone on overwatch outside, the wall will break, the aliens will activate giving you free overwatch shots, and then you can take your next turn.

>>126401794
Just in case there are some arguments I hadn't considered
i threw a grenade to expose the sectoid.
it ended up destroying the entire wall except for a little slab the dude was hiding behind.

I dont now what this waild ride is but i think i want off. i just dont underastnad how i got form completely aniihlated to just destroying a landed ufo.
>>126402723
Fucking sweet.
>>126402723
Damn, i always think at 0:10 the imperial march would kick in.
>>126401983
First months = hardest = need to make first months easier = asia start
MEC = not to get hit / flanking /removing cover / killing shit with flamethrower = heavy
Alright something weird and fucked just happened.
Started a brand new game.
It's the shitty rain-washed narrow street map, fml.
Move squad into cover, end turn.
Next turn, move a soldier up - his vision is just on the cusp of seeing an alien (in low cover) but without triggering their movement.
Move another soldier up into firing position
SECTOID TAKES AN OVERWATCH SHOT WHAT THE FUCK?!
I shot at him twice, killed him. No movement phase, no sign of his buddies.
Has ANYONE else had this happen? Stock EW btw.
>>126403490
Yeah this map is a bit buggy. Had some "AYY WE WILL SHOOT YOU EVEN IF YOU DIDN'T SPOT OUR POT ANYTIME BEFORE" moments on there
>>126402723
Someone was inspired by The Rock it seems.
>>126403490
git gud
Ah, the "Too greedy for meld" position
Fucking cheating disk going out of his way to shoot her
>>126402723
I feel pretty good about the new soundtrack, McCann or no McCann.
>>126405686
15 min no comment... dead general.
Than out of nothing:
>git gud
lol
>>126405767
Wow, she really look fucked up, nice screenshot.
>>126393171
I've literally just restarted 4 games because of this
i thank that went wall. except for then squad wipe unfortunely i'm too tired to contine. maybe another time when i can afforde more booze.
>>126403490
Yeah. It only seems to happen on Street Hurricane, where aliens get to be "pre-activated".
Honestly, when I get that map, I just reload. It's a shit map, it's buggy, the camera flips out a ton because it's too narrow, just fuck it. It is literally broken. It may as well be missing textures, to boot.
I know I call for aliens to start activated a lot but the game just isn't balanced around that shit and it's fucking stupid when it happens.
>>126407747
>Not playing Ironman
>>126407919
>trusting ironman in a game that literally does not work
that said I freely savesscum like a cunt because the balance in this game is piss poor also and all the clutch shit that made oldcom so satisfying to play but also so lethal and motivating when shit goes south is just not there in the new one
soldiers are too valuable, it's too easy to lose several turns in a row to panic, rules for things are inconsistent (or just buggy) and in general it's a far more unfair experience than other "Le Hardcore :^)" games
Can you get a cinematic camera or like a free aim thing to take nice screenshots with?
>>126408060
I thik all this bugs und "unfair" situations are excuses. I think people are to afraid to lose something, so they want a chill pill in form of a save stat. But the true mode is ironman, a game without consequence is boring.
I played alot of Vanilla Ironman Classic, saw only few bug and play around them, i cant image to play a serious campaign without Ironman.
Yes it's hard, but after some restarts you will learn to live with loses.
Btw, Beaglerush play Ironman only too.
Merry christmas /xcg/ you guys are great.
I hope all your shots hit, I hope you get good sleep and I hope you get the girl. I love you all.
>>126396353
>>126396930
>bunching up like that
I hope someone throws a grenade.
>>126398797
They're more fragile now though, so it could be manageable.
I kinda imagine that a sufficiently built/geared ranger could just sword a whole swarm of them to death if given half a chance.
>>126408408
I play without reloading saves, but I don't use Ironman because the game is genuinely too buggy to. Too often will a dumb glitch rear its ugly head and if in Ironman there's nothing you can do about it.
>>126400460
Except they have a whole flesh head and torso.
>>126408945
Thats ok.
>>126408992
I don't think so...
>>126408803
>tfw they said Ranger can get a perk that's basically CCS but with the sword
>>126409185
It's just a futuristic body suit covering their torso.
>>126409367
I see the metalic frame under that "shirt"
>>126409532
that's reinforced padding for the shirt.
>>126409352
>mod out the sword, adding in punching animations
>call the perk RIP AND TEAR
>>126408992
waifusim is so weird
>>126409532
The prosthetics and MEC suits still need something to interface with, just because they have mounting hardware on their shoulders/pelvis doesn't mean the whole torso is metal.
>>126409793
>>126409971
Hmmm, maybe you are right, argument and normal woman have the same frame during the medal-scene.
>>126409914
Wait until Firaxis reveal the remaining female aliens, /xcg/ will go wild.
>>126409914
>he doesn't want to fuck this
>>126410394
I want to fuck that :3
>>126410394
kill all ayys
so guys, what second wave options make for a good impossible playthrough. i had completed a playthrough on classic a couple of years ago, bought it on this sale to start again. suggestions?
also how do i include the mgs namelist in the game? its the only file without instructions, sorry to bother
>>126411742
rename it to just DefaultNameList.ini
go to C:/program files (x86)/steam/steamapps/common/XCom-Enemy-Unknown/XEW/XComGame/Config
copy and replace
>>126399350
for Xcom
solomon confirms retaking territory will be in vanilla X2
>rocket does one damage against a thin mint
fuck it, this is enough to make me uninstall long war for now. i'll give it another try in the future probably but i'm clearly too casual to handle it right now.
>>126415169
But the future is Xcom 2
>>126415276
I can always come back to Enemy Within. Not even sure if my computer will be able to handle XCOM 2.
>>126415418
the minimum reqs are the same as EU/EW
>>126415485
It's a bit steeper, but not much.
I THINK it should run. I have the right version of DirectX, enough RAM, it's running on fucking Unreal 3 and my computer can handle EW nearly-perfectly. But even if it can't run I can always get a Steam refund.
>Vanilla EW
When do terror missions appear? The first one is in the second month. But am I guaranteed to get one mission every month after that? And in which country take they place, do panic levels matter?
>>126415998
In the third month (May) there is no terror mission
>vanilla ew also
scientists or engineers?
>>126416123
So if
>7 lost countries
>2 with level 5 panic
>Already did both abduction missions
>Only 1 Satellite to launch
>EXALT mission taking place in a country I already lost
then I'm fucked?
>>126415485
This, and it should run a bit smoother since it's PC exclusive
>>126416470
1 time scientist to cut your reasearch time by almost 50%
Rest only engineers
>>126416579
No chance to get into alien base ?
>half kill a floater pod
>it falls back
>chains intwo one more
>chains into another
suddenly a united front of 8 floaters form a crack squad to buttfuck me with an outsider hanging out in the darkness overwatched. Miss sectoids already.
>>126416698
safe bruv
>>126416769
Not at all.
Seems like I have to hope for my loved council to give me a mission in one of those 2 countries.
I mean, 22% is a shot I could hit, couldn't I?
>>126417736
Ah don't worry, you get the chance to winin Xcom 2
>tfw cyberdisc teleports into your ow
