I'm hyped too, but yeah, my expectations remain that this is going to be hilariously buggy at launch.

Hey, if they have a sword mod that lets you shred armor, it really will be Rules of Nature time.

Hope they find a way to stop you mousing over locations to see if an enemy is standing there. I'm a bad person and can never resist

Broke my rule and bought this pre-release. Although GMG offering it on sale helped a little. I am hyped.

Maybe it's ghost grenades. Those were always useful on a grenade-specced heavy in Enemy Within. They've been vague about a lot of the endgame stuff and a lot of the later-on goodies, but this is nothing new. Firaxis was even resistant to admit they had blaster bomb launchers back when Enemy Unknown was in previews. They are very stubborn about playing with all their cards close to their chest. I'm curious about one of the upcoming DLCs they promise in the spring, the one that mentions "elite" aliens and XCOM having new elite alien hunter specializations. Hmm... Procedurally generated extra-hard missions that generate more loot, like Slingshot only random? Speedball fucked around with this message at 04:52 on Jan 29, 2016 |

If I'm reading it right, the "Fortress" ability makes Psi Operatives immune to exploding cars too, right?

Torrannor posted:I hope so, although the Grenadiers Blast Armor did nothing against exploding cars in one of Beagle's streams. That seemed to reduce the grenade damage at least. The Armor soaked up 1 damage and the 66% resistance soaked up the rest, so they only took 1 damage from their own kamikaze grenade.

They have a stance system where they can hunker close to the ground squat like before, or stand up very tall on extendo-legs. They can charge straight through walls like Berserkers used to and have a variety of other nasty abilities we probably haven't seen yet.

Not a big fan of the Avatar Project thing. I hate time limits and that's apparently what it is. I realize it was possible to delay a little bit too much in XCOM1, just rack in XP to get the best possible squad for the Temple Ship, but that was also kind of cool. We'll see how it turns out, but having to beat the alien clock doesn't super fun to me.

We'll see how it turns out, but having to beat the alien clock doesn't super fun to me. I get where you're coming from, XCOM has always been a game where you build up, fight the aliens and prepare for the final battle at your own pace. XCOM2 is breaking away from that by ramping up the low-key roguelike factor. Time limits make you take more risks, this causes more deaths. Chrysalids can attack you on their reveal turn now, this causes more deaths. There are more randomization factors as well with the ammo and grenade crafting plus more events on the game board. XCOM2 is a tactical roguelike and like FTL it's putting a time limit on it to encourage the player to take more risks and plan ahead. I think this is a good thing but if you don't that's also fair. I think everyone will get the game they want when mods start coming out.
