Bizzare. The cheevo list is still unreleased. Firaxis is REALLY keeping their cards close to their chest.

Well, they have already let a fair amount of information about the tech tree stuff out, I'm happy they are keeping much of the story and what not under wraps.

The Codex is also a really bizarrely interesting enemy. It looks like it's made of pure data.

DrManiac posted:Apparently we only saw around half of the enemies in the game so far. I'd hope so. Even with the ones I've seen, I kinda hope to forget all their tricks and abilities or that we don't see much of them in action or even described. Call me crazy, but I like learning about these things through painful lessons, like losing a soldier over one such ability. That way, you're bound to remember it.

Darkrenown posted:The aliens merged outsiders with the internet .... that they look like smokey women debunks that one. You KNOW what they would look like if they were merged with the internet.    Giant tittied, giant eyed, dead faced expressions, a seething mass of flesh. Skyrim modding brought to life. Make it stop make it stop. make it stop. DrManiac posted:Apparently we only saw around half of the enemies in the game so far. I'm assuming a portion of the enemies to come will be upgraded versions, which... is good enough for me honestly. I could stand for things like "Oh, that viper has twice the healt-"*MOVE, YANK, CHOKE*-"DID SHE JUST TAKE THREE TURNS IN ONE?! BULLSHIT!  " moments replacing a total mystery of what the next alien will do.E: Call me silly, but I really hope we get an upgraded ADVENT officer class who starts calling down airstrikes willy nilly on XCOM because the alien's are done being subtle and if nuking half a city block gets XCOM's a-team killed, they are prepared to deal with the fallout.

I haven't followed things too closely, but the only story thing that interests me is finding out what happened to Vahlen. My suspicion: she's the insider.

No, no, cutscenes in XCOM owned. Vahlen proposes science, Bradford gets angry, shen points out the military applications, and bradford goes "and we could kill aliens..." If these don't change I'll be happy

New enemy: flying whales. Spawn infinite chrysalid in packs of 2-4 every turn for the duration of a mission. In the contagion zones.

I'm glad that LWS is getting props from the devs, but I still hope this doesn't delay their unique project much.

Doing some XCOM 2 mods on the side will probably help keep them focused by means of the occasional break. LotsBread posted:you heard the rules, kid, go away Pffh. That was fine. Please do not use "Tho Shall Not Junpeis's" lightly, we'll need it later.  E: Crosspeice posted:I'm gonna name my sword "CLOSE RANGE?!" A good name. I think "Justice" will do for me. E2: God I hope we get an entirely silly mod for putting mods on swords and grenade launchers. Why yes, I DO want to scope my sword.

Maybe that question has been answered somewhere, but is Enemy Within canon for XCOM2? I wouldn't mind getting sent on missions to retrieve the bits to build a MEC at some point. I mean, come on, we're recruiting the dregs, may as well keep them fighting as Robocops when they get hurt.

Answer: There are Enemy MECs and the blurb you get when you encounter them is "They look like Shen's designs"
