Large filesizes these days usually are either video cutscenes or audio. I'm guessing here it's the latter. Lots of voices in different languages.

There's like 12 different english ones, and usually 3-5 for the other languages, and a ton of languages are supported. Plus cutscenes in different languages, and whatever, and all of the tile set assets, etc...

I feel like any kind of basic audio/video compression should obviate this, and hopefully it's not just multiple copies of the same FMV scenes with different audio instead of, you know, having separate audio tracks

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I feel like any kind of basic audio/video compression should obviate this, and hopefully it's not just multiple copies of the same FMV scenes with different audio instead of, you know, having separate audio tracks You'd think so, but I've already seen devs can be really weird on stuff like this. For example, iirc, Titanfall is something like 50 gb, but 35 gb of that is uncompressed language packs in all languages. That you can't even opt out of...

Well uh, the previous one was a great goddamn game, and absolutely every single sign points to this one being an improvement in just about every aspect. If that isn't a reason to be hyped, I don't know what would be. EDIT: Also gently caress the haters, I'm gonna savescum like a motherfucker to keep all my favourite badasses and badassettes alive and y'all can just suck it. Unless they happen to die in a particularly spectacular fashion. Or I've just gotten bored of them. Nordick fucked around with this message at 00:51 on Jan 31, 2016 |

I'm pretty much at max hype for this. The news about mods is just the cherry on top - SMG gunslingers and Chryssalid Hive Queens at launch, what a world.

XCOM is a really good game because I love tactical games but I am incredibly patient and it plays fast enough where I don't get bored but still has a lot of good tactical decisions.

I have to say I'm glad to be a fan of this series the way the devs seem to be supporting the modding scene means that I will probably be playing this game for quite some time. I really hope someone makes a total remake of the original Xcom UFO defence in the new engine.

It's time to go rocket-punch a thin-man into a truck until it explodes (the truck or the thin-man, preferably both). Y'know, just for old time's sakes.

The modded Muton Centurion is very Krogan. I really look forward to a Mass-Com mod emerging in the future. Get some snek-tits in the romance layer of the ant-farm.

Speedball posted:Bureau Mod. Turn the Bureau into a proper XCOM game with tactical engagements and guys with laser-shooting tommy guns. Hey, it could happen! This is actually a pretty neat idea. I remember playing trough The Bureau after buying it for 5 bucks, and even though I had enough fun to justify the price I just kept thinking "How much cooler this would have been if it actually played like XCOM".

I thought this was in reference to Ethereals, like in the normal campaign they're just the super scary final boss(es?), while the expansion they can show up in regular missions? Could really be anything, though.

Dumb XCOM 1 mod questions. I like the tutorial because it adds story/plot poo poo upfront ( and gives a free sat! ), on the other hand, I dislike the tutorial because it's long, forces me to build bad poo poo/forces me to play a specific way/etc. Is there a mod to make it so I still get the story beats/basic poo poo from the tutorial, but can build whatever I want from the getgo?

Do you really want it on day 1 though? I assume most people want to play the base campaign first to get a feel for it before they hellmod it.

Pigeons and other wildlife are coded as particle effects so it's entirely possible to mod a gun that shoots them.
