I'm getting pumped for the PS4 port at the end of September, so I've been playing the 360 version of Enemy Within. I am so hyped, even if I'm currently sucking at the Ironman after a couple of years off.

jadebullet posted:Well, I finally got around to playing XCOM 2. I was a little rusty so I started with the tutorial enabled. Well, I got to the first mission, was a bit reckless due to the time limit, and one of my team got killed. This caused another team member to freak the hell out, climb on top of the truck, and grenade himself, and the rest of the team, completely wiping the mission. Welcome to XCOM

RBA Starblade posted:Training Roulette with the randomized stats for soldiers modifier was my favorite way to play EW, I hope some of those options come back.  I was very disappointed that I was unable to turn those things on in XCOM 2. I figure it fits the meta of a rag-tag team of rebels perfectly

Alkydere posted:They did at least include a hidden skill so you have uniqueness built into the game. I think it's because far more of the skills were too linked to the soldier's various equipment to make a good Training Roulette. The Ranger tree would have 1/2 being nearly entirely fixed sword skills, the other 1/2 being LOLrandom. Yeah, but that requires the Advanced Warfare Center being operational at the time you hit the level of said hidden skill. It would probably have to be padded with new skills for sure

Neon Knight posted:Maybe lost units are actually several lost clumped together as a swarm? One health bar for a group of five or more and have some drop as the pack loses health? My speculation: The lost are a feral set, so it makes sense that they're probably just 2 HP. Easy to kill a single Lost, but as an infinitely spawning swarm, it could definitely turn the tide of a mission fast. In short, explosives. EDIT: Oh, Headshot. Meh, who knows, maybe there are missions with NPC factions that you can give a general orders to Iron Crowned fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jun 12, 2017 |

Andre Banzai posted:I'm gonna go with this description here. They're alien-human hybrids, ok. I was kinda thinking they were some kind of generic alien race the Ethereals had summoned and I felt that was kinda lame. Anyway, could be worse I guess. I dunno, feels a bit too "starcrafty" and generic, too "badass vanilla villain". My point is, it seems like you guys are already starting to get nit-picky about one cosmetic element in a game that is full of sci-fi tropes already

AceOfFlames posted:... So no one ever loses anyone on easy? The gently caress am I doing wrong. I always put people in cover and yet every so often someone misses a shot they should have taken and then get killed. Have you tried getting Asperger's? I've found that people who are good at video games contracted it some time (I have never won an XCOM 2 campaign)

Lunchmeat Larry posted:oh loving hell I'm dumb They did a bad job making it apparent. Shen comments on them being a cosmetic upgrade from EU/EW, but otherwise it's up to you to figure it out, and they don't really act, look, or sound like floaters Or is it Sputnik posted:Did you know that Sectoids will use a psychic ability more often than they will straight up shoot at you, especially if they're the last enemy alive? A sectoid raising a psi zombie is effectively them wasting a turn. gently caress that, every time I expect them to raise a zombie they just up and blast someone with plasma causing someone else to panic. The worst panics are when I'm at the loving evac zone, and one more turn and they get to go home, then they start crying about it and either get captured or killed because I'm out of time.

marshmallow creep posted:But...they float. I thought it was the most obvious thing, which is they were upgraded floaters. So do seekers, and drones, and cyberdisks. Mutons and Crysallids look like the previous versions, and Sectoids look similar enough, that if they weren't called Sectoids you could probably figure it out. Archons look nothing like floaters, and aren't called floaters, so it's like trying to figure out that snake tits were thin men without Tygan telling you that.

Cythereal posted:Shen also implicitly refers to archons as improved floaters when you first encounter them, talking about how the aliens cleaned up the design from the biomechanical horrors of the invasion. She doesn't say floaters, just that the design was cleaned up, leaving it open to interpretation of what they cleaned up the design of.

Psi Zombies aren't completely worthless, they still count as a kill. I like to shoot them when I know that I can pop the sectoid just for that extra experience.

Alkydere posted:All of the Spark lines, Julian or not, are amazing. Julian's sarcasm and Spark-001's unfailing politeness. "I apologize for your untimely demise" instantly became a favorite line of mine.  Hell, I'd be happy with just a couple female voice packs for sparks, and maybe an R2-D2 style beep-boops voice pack Eraflure posted:I'm just in it for the gameplay, killing stupid characters is a bonus. Yeah, this is me. I treat XCOM like a very pretty board game, because that's how it runs, the way things look and sound just add to the atmosphere. I'm pretty sure I could have a similar amount of fun rolling dice around a table with some vaguely sectoid looking pieces of plastic (yes I know there is an XCOM:EU board Game)

I'm hoping that one of the different types of panic means that they actually evac after screaming "EVAC! WE NEED EMERGENCY EVAC! NOW DAMMIT NOW!" instead of just hunkering down in the evac zone as the interceptors force Firebrand to leave. Also, I'm pretty pumped for quirks for some reason.

Zore posted:'Hero units' are literally just a different class of soldier that levels differently from your dudes. They aren't unique. Not unique as a whole, but it sounds like they're going to be customizable enough to be unique to your individual campaign. Really the way an XCOM Hero unit should be.
