I'm really looking forward to another one of these where Guava proceeds to just accidentally send any and all assaults to their glorious deaths. Also, snapshot actually is really good, it's just that squadsight is so good that you can literally base your entire play style around it.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:Not only that but you're stuck with NA for you starting location and i think they make you launch a satellite at the beginning of the month as well? Not sure about the satellite, but I'm almost certain they don't force you into NA. I know because my first playthrough I went with Europe because I didn't realize how useless it is.

notZaar posted:True but they get hosed UP by psionic attacks. If you're referring to what I think you are, then EVERYTHING gets hosed up by that. Shivs just a bit more so. Also convenient is that it doesn't really matter if they die, especially late game.

Archenteron posted:The human flesh is weak. Initiate the SHIVCom project. That would be my recommendation as well. I remember keeping like 5 or 6 of them around my first playthrough, and they never failed to make themselves useful in a pinch. Especially considering how disposable they are.

Zomborgon posted:Sale notification: Due to a 2K publisher sale, Steam can now get you XCOM EU for $7.49 USD and the XCOM EW expansion for... $9.89 USD. As has been mentioned before, it's less "holy poo poo the expansion is so expensive" and more "holy poo poo the original game is so cheap."

goatface posted:It's venting all the noxious chemicals and coolant they're using to power the things. Aliens shot point blank should probably count as poisoned. Harrower posted:It's unlikely they would fire slowly moving green/blue/purple globs of relatively muted light, but more like unleashing the wrath of an angry sun. The words collateral damage come to mind. Whatever got hit would be vaporized and the surrounding area set on fire. Xcom and collateral damage on the other hand seem to be destined to be together for all eternity.

ponzicar posted:To apply this to X-Com, I think the reason the aliens stick to mostly ground combat with a little bit of atmospheric dogfighting is that they've signed space treaties that limit the amount of combat they're allowed to do from space. Too many space wars have left planets shattered from orbital bombardments, with their orbits clogged with a thick cloud of debris. I'd explain why that is probably not the case and how the game all but explains the ground stuff, but that mostly gets into spoiler/sequel speculation territory.

NothingToFyr posted:I don't see how this is something to bitch about. He's paying many times higher cost to get troops that are more capable. Would it be any more cheating if they charged you 100x or 200x cost for 1 soldier with maxed starting stats? I can see bitching about some legitimately terrible exploiting like savescumming, but he's spending way more money than he has to because he's willing to pay for quality. That would ruin the whole random/organic aspect of recruits. Not to mention the fact that time itself is a valuable resource, so hiring new soldiers to sort through takes more than just money.

zyxophoj posted:Oops. Well, that shows exactly how much attention I pay to the EXALT threat in the mid to late game. Anyway, that last research hack does mean that the first use of the alloy canon will probably be against the EXALT cell that delayed it. Revenge is a dish best served at point-blank range.

Jade Star posted:Those that know me a bit or have watched my streams might know I practice Taekwondo. I broke my shoulder during practice. It's actually really embarrassing that I hurt myself so bad as a 1st degree black belt in front of a class of color belts. The instructor and I were showing off a bit trying to build some confidence in the lower ranks that were being very hesitant or scared to do throws/falls and well, I'm sure this really did not help in that regard. Ah, good, another fellow Metal In My Bones Due To My Own Foolish Arrogance While Attempting A Martial Arts Throw buddy! Seriously hope you feel better soon.
