If MarvCom* was going to be announced wouldn't it have happened already? The only real conference left is Nintendo after all. *It's just XCOM but all your guys are named Marv.

soulmata posted:Look at this hateful jerk laying in to coolguy for a totally out of context clip from a stream intended to be at least somewhat humorous. The whole point was showing off the absurd sprinting abilities of the Fun Lancer and the fact how funny it is to watch his dude get dunked on from the shadows in a single hit. You could have just said something like "RIP in peace", but no, you immediately have to try and go into detail about how much he must suck for his terrible play and flex all over him that obviously you know how to play his game better than him. Well, as he said, that's me playing, not him. And it's a co-op stream where chat participants pick their characters upgrades regardless of skill or merit, I get as tipsy as possible while still able to play on stream, I limit myself to (loosely) 180 seconds per turn to keep things moving, and the priority is on having a good time. Aw man I was just trying to be sassy and poke fun but I think it came off like I wanted to swing my dick all over the XCOM thread I will take my deserved lumps with what I hope is poise as I haven't beaten Legend Ironman nevermind Grim Horizon. Stun lancers are indeed bullshit.

If we don’t get 2x dicqueflasque out of this, then MarvXCOM will be a commercial success and there will be seven years of a disarkness

Coolguye posted:tonight was a fuckin RIDE Look at this gamer, running blindly into the fog of war and waking multiple pods. Listen man if you think you're good enough to stream you should know basic gameplay!! Also I had the Assassin do that once, except she runs so fast she ran well past all bounds of the map and was well into 'featureless flat land' territory. Was half afraid I was going to have to go find her.

i have a hankering to play some xcom, did anyone ever mod playable alien defectors into xcom 2? or make a proper xcom game out of chimera squad? it feels like since its canon now that aliens did defect, you should be able to have some sectoid or muton homies in xcom 2.

Yeah, Playable Aliens is a mod Reality Machina did that gets you Sectoid, Muton, Vipers and Andromedons iirc with specific missions and the ability to recruit them outright from a fourth faction alongside the Templars/Reapers/Skirmishers Recently Kiruka has taken and massively expanded it for Long War, adding Faceless/Berserkers/Archons and a ton of mod enemies (Naja/Sidewinders, 5 new Muton flavors, a bunch of Ice themed dudes from the new Frost Legion mod which use Chimera Squad models). It is Long War of the Chosen only however.

juggalo baby coffin posted:oooo nice, i need to check that out. I play it but I edited the hell out of a lot of the inis to tone down the bullshit because whoa boy. The team doing it is new and unrelated to Pavonis and has some... weird ideas sometimes about WOTC stuff. I'm not a huge fan of their most recent hero reworks for the Templar and Reaper which pretty radically change them. For instance, Templars can miss now, don't gain damage or movement with focus and lost Parry and their gun. In return they have a shield secondary which they can use to gain shield with their bonus move, gain focus when they attack instead of kill and have a lot more emphasis on their powers as Shock now has its upgrades baked in, Amplify is a tier 1 power that lets you deal a lot of damage with your next hit etc. Very different from vanilla. Reapers lost permanent Shadow in exchange for having it in 2 turn bursts with no detection radius. Additionally they lost the claymore in exchange for throwing knives which don't take you out of stealth when they kill stuff. By contrast their changes to the Skirmisher are excellent and what the class should have been. Instead of Marauder to shoot twice per turn they start with Hit and Run which refunds you an action if you shoot a flanked enemy. That single change makes them a hell of a lot more powerful and fun and most of their other abilities were buffed. In conclusion, Long War of the Chosen is a land of contrasts.

the templar changes sound kinda lovely. i'll give the regular playable aliens mod a go, and if i get bored of generic xcom 2 ill probably give long war a go. i just remember the xcom 1 long war turning into suuuuch a slog

Look if you aren't grinding away forever, skipping impossible missions, and counting tiles as your squaddies inch forward into certain death, are you really playing Long War?

I love CS but all the death squad characters are Joss Whedony to a extreme degree so yeah I guess full marvel is the next step. (Brutally murders 20 people and watches a civilian burn alive from a sticky bomb whoopsy) "uh, so THAT happened."
