I mean, "run away from the melee death machine charging towards you" isn't exactly next-level strats.

Do we know the release time yet? Need to know if it is worth cashing in sick time.

Pomp posted:what happened Big thing is that chrysallids can charge into a melee attack on their dash move like every other melee unit including XCOM rangers. On Legendary they have something like 12 health and 1 armor, and the new dash rules means that they can come barreling out of the fog of war and still get a melee attack off. Melee attacks still poison and can also score critical hits. They have some degree of dodge like Vipers do, so half damage hits aren't uncommon on legendary. They can burrow somewhere and if you discover them on your turn they unburrow and get one action which they can use to charge in and melee your soldiers. If they kill a unit (including a civilian) it turns into a cocoon with a ridiculous amount of health on Legendary difficulty that pops out one baby chrysallid per turn for the next three turns unless destroyed, though baby chrysallids only have half the health of the adults (and might have some other reduced stats, I'm not sure). Basically they're a lot scarier this time around, though a bladestorm ranger might stand a little bit more of a chance provided the ranger doesn't miss.

That sounds scary as gently caress. I think I might just play my first game on normal...

Josef bugman posted:Its more than likely that beagle will rise on the third day and present us all with strategies to beat back the Aliens with. Even were that to happen, the trick then is in how you execute them on constantly randomized maps. And under the pressure of chryssalids threatening to slice and dice your mom out in the field, or something.

The best is gonna be when you run up to save a civilian from a Cryssalid and it's a Faceless. LOL welcome to X-COM Lyfe you sorry son of a bitch. Edit: still a ranger with Blade Storm and a good sword can clown the 'Lids all day.

For those of you wondering about the artbook RE spoilers, there doesn't seem to be anything in there that they haven't shown publicly, except maybe the final picture of the book, which is unlabeled but might depict a contagion zone area, as described in the novelization.

Yesssss  I want it to be like the original x-com. Brutal as loving poo poo unless you're encased in the best armor in the game. I've been thrown through the Darkest Dungeon gauntlet and I'm totally ready to ironman and see all my guys die permanently. Once more into the breach, soldiers! The one with the rifle shoots, when the one with the rifle gets killed, the one following him picks it up and shoots!

Where's the cheapest place to get it right now? I heard a few places were selling it for 25-30% off and wondered where the most reputable deal was.

There's probably going to be a mod to work undersea stuff into the base game. X-Com: Rising Tide.

TFTD would be really good with some space-y ambient music instead of action movie type stuff we have now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTXeWIL1vhA idk what youcould do for combat though. definitely something leaning towards downbeat edit:wrong link
