cargohills posted:I think if a player is so bad that they're already trying that over and over again they're probably not going to learn how to play more effectively without the cheating. Yeah, like if somebody isn't engaging the strategy game on a strategic level, i'd hardly want the easiest mode to frustrate them by forcing it on them. I don't judge why people play games and someone playing x-com on beginner is unlikely to be someone playing a game for the challenge.

poverty goat posted:In xcom the easiest difficulty setting actively cheats for you by secretly upping the odds as you take a 5% shot over and over, which hinders the player from ever learning to read and comprehend percentages, reinforcing the choice to make a bad bet and making it increasingly unlikely that you'll ever improve enough to move up to a harder setting. It's kind of baffling. Not everyone's looking to move up to a harder difficulty though.

Considering how many duds the XCOM franchise has managed to produce during its lifetime, its a small miracle that the reboot franchise actually seems to be doing very well. Also, the XCOM2 was a step down from the original; unnecessary turn limits and added bullshit mechanics everywhere. The Chimera Squad is superb, though. Especially considering it was a B-production that was announced like week before launch.

I can get lost in real life, I don't need to get lost in a video game. i hate the giant floating arrow. it can be useful, for a split second, at night, in games with a randomly generated star skybox, or in a poorly designed dungeon. but if it takes 30 seconds to switch on and 30 more to switch off again, or even worse can't be shut off at all, then gently caress your game i'm not gonna play it. minimalist ui or bust pentyne posted:Every developer should want their games to be accessible in general to the widest potential audience. Some people would be more then happy to buy a $60 game if it has a mode that made it easier for them to play through in order to enjoy a good story or narrative experience. There's a recent example of this working hugely to the favor of the game, Pathologic 2, where they added in a "easy" mode later and their reviews skyrocketed from 80% to mid 90%. there are two sides to this. adding difficulty tiers and accessibility options takes varying levels of time and effort to problem-solve and program. if you want to make your five-hour-long indie action rpg compatible with blind players, that's great! more power to you! i'm not sure where you're going to get tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of man-hours to make it happen but if you're passionate about it love will find a way Fur20 fucked around with this message at 19:57 on Apr 21, 2021 |

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought XCOM 2 wasn't as good. I don't even think there is a specific reason why. I think it's just generally over-engineered. There is too much bullshit going on and a lot of it is extraneous or just not interesting. Big case of feature bloat imo.

For me it really boils down to not being very interesting setting: mostly just bio-engineered cops and robots against the quirky and inventive rebels vs. actual aliens against multinational spec ops trying to keep humanity safe. Unfortunately the game narrative also decided that "XCOM 1 cannot happen because winning actually means losing, because the explosion of the temple ship means that all Ethereal fleets will target us and we get steamrolled". So XCOM3 will probably be about the XCops trying to invent ways to get rid of the Ethereal-enhanced fishes, not keeping the solar system safe since we now have the technology to trivially do short range space travel.

I played the original X Com (90s) for an hour or so back in the. I had a lot of fun with the part where you chased down UFOs on the world map, but I was really disappointed when I found out what the actual game was like

I liked the illuminati vs. aliens thing of XCom. The aliens were bad, but the XCom organization with their shadowy controller, and the way you'd sell alien tech on the black market gave it a fun creepy undercurrent. I liked the idea that if the aliens weren't around, you'd probably be the bad guys. But they never really capitalized on it and then it went into boring ol' rebels vs. authoritarian aliens for the sequel. Edit: I kind of agree with the XCom difficult thing that it's not about the difficulty, but that they are actively teaching people to interpret numbers wrong outside of XCom. People have enough trouble with numbers as it is, just make it transparent that their percentages are increasing. Nice Van My Man fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Apr 21, 2021 |

I agree that XCOM should show the modified percentages instead of adjusting the odds in secret (because there's no reason for it to be secret) but I'm not loving the implication that it's XCOM's responsibility to teach people how to understand percentages
