Kenshin posted:Holy crap, I leave to go to my team's standup meeting while beagle was doing great in the rescue civilians mission and come back and it's near squad wipe. He started off strong by rescuing like 5 of 6 civvies early, but then it turns out swarms of enemies were lurking in the distance.

Adnor posted:Supposedly everyone who bought the game before the 25th of january will get a region free key, at least that's what Nuuvem's Support told me. I bought it today as it popped up on my isthereanydeal.com feed and contacted support for a refund. Both isthereanydeal.com and the Nuuvem store page are usually pretty reliable about taking region restrictions into account. beer_war fucked around with this message at 19:15 on Feb 1, 2016 |

dogstile posted:One of his bad points was "i missed a 95% shot". That alone is worth ridiculing. Some people feel like strategy games should be largely predictable. A lot of games have behind-the-scenes fudging to avoid that situation where you get put into a bad situation when you take what should be a safe shot. I personally like the unpredictability and scrambling to compensate for bad luck that is a central part of XCOM experience but it's also valid to not enjoy what amounts to "you did everything right and still got screwed" elements of strategy game design. It depends on what you're looking for. That said if the biggest criticism of XCOM 2 is "it's XCOM 2" then that's a good thing.

Ravenfood posted:Early-game ones, yeah. All the aliens look bumped up much higher in the tech tree. Lancers seem to roughly fill the same spot that the old Chryssalids did in terms of where they come into the campaign. I'll give you that. Didn't they get a health drain, though? I can see them as an early-midgame enemy to make sure you got squad size (or can work without it).

I want to watch Beag's stream but it's so close to release I also want to wait and see the cinematics and stuff for the first time myself  By the way, at least 2 aliens can raise Psi zombies, do we know that only "humans" (ADVENT aren't really...) can be raised? Because can you imagine a horde of Muton or Chryssalids zombies running at you with 3 times their normal HP?

CharlieFoxtrot posted:95% chance to hit means a 5% chance to miss. The displayed hit rate in a game (including the original XCOM) is not really the actual hit rate. Not in the least because 100% hit rate shots could still miss in XCOM for minor reasons. A lot of games fudge things up and down for this reason. Ravenfood posted:Its the new critical will loss effect. You keep it until you go through a mission without taking damage, then you get all the will back and (possibly?) a few extra on top of it. That's pretty awesome.

Isnt it usually because of rounding up to whole numbers? 99.5% hit i still a .5% miss chance but it would be rounded up to 100 on the display.

Yeah with XCOM IIRC it was that they rounded to the closest whole number so technically a 99.9% chance hit would be come 100% but could still miss.

It depends on what you're looking for. Just because they like their games a certain doesn't mean they are immune to being ridiculed for liking things that way though. And it is kind of telling that the editing room has some odd priorities sending the guy who likes shooters on the PS4 to play a PC turn-based strategy game. I will say though, at least he researched his history, even if he didn't quite get that modding for XCOM was more of a miracle work than "made for it".

So the three mods the Long War team are going to have out at launch are submachine guns, an officer version of the Muton and a Squad Leader class.

As much as Its Xcom is important, I can't say I'm sad about this. Early game there is nothing more irritating than having someone in a good position behind full cover miss a clean shot, then having a Thin Man crit them for ten damage because gently caress you
