Exposure posted:I have to say, Resurrection is not that bad. I liked hearing about what Earth was like now, what happened to XCOM and the invasion, and the finding the Avenger and leading into XCOM2 stuff. What I disliked was that the plot was mostly advanced by people bumbling into each other/ADVENT/Aliens, and the horrible romance that took up about half of the book. And that fact that it has a military guy use "noncom" to mean "non-combatant" rather than "non-commissioned officer" in a military setting with no explanation of what it meant. I just stared at that page in anger for a while

You just know there's going to be an Aliens mod where you clean out an atmospheric processor. Pulse rifles, smartguns, the works. And "Horror from the Abyss" with ship corridor PCPs instead of roads

How come people are so hyped for this? Is it purely based off of the last one? I liked the last one, only finished it once though. People are acting like this is going to be earth-shattering.

So, this mod news is basically the best? Game is fully modular, and the LW team have confirmed that it's totally possible to add new weapon classes, alien types and class features, and then mix and match them however you please. And they're bringing back three LW staples (squad leaders, SMGs and Muton Commander Assholes) on day 0. Simply put, the sky's the limit with this one. We now have Infinite XComs. You will be able to tweak and customize the game however the hell you please, OpenXCom style. Dominic White fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Jan 30, 2016 |

Because I am ridiculously excited to no longer have to translate UE3 tokens through trial and error because that was a gigantic pain in the rear end. also the game looks fun too. also JohnnyLump is a hilariously terrible public speaker.

Wonder how many psi powers those get. (And if that's their in-game name as well) (It's also possible Cyberus might be another new one, but I think that's just the internal name for the Codex.)

The prose reminds me of the narrative poo poo you used to find occasionally in instruction manuals. It definitely feels like it was produced in a factory to meet a very strict deadline, but it's not hilariously bad. Just meh.

Sharzak posted:How come people are so hyped for this? Is it purely based off of the last one? I liked the last one, only finished it once though. People are acting like this is going to be earth-shattering. The new XCOM is a rare entry in turned based strategy/tactics that captured the spirit of the old game, had enough complexity for the grognards and approachability for the more 'average' gamer. It is a true one of a kind game that hits a particular niche exceedingly well, despite all of its flaws. It has enough depth that it could be the only game you play and you'd still be improving for years, which for a single player game is real rare. Given all this, XCOM 2 is the developers of XCOM no longer just reimagining an old experience, but pushing it even further, and seeming to do so fully aware of all the flaws of Enemy Unknown/Within. If you're in the niche of people who loving love XCOM you're bound to be hyped.
