Lunchmeat Larry posted:I loving hate the scampering into cover thing. Oh I moved my last dude to the side a bit to flank someone? Well there was a pod of mutons around there and they immediately get to hop into cover and gun down half my defenseless guys. Obviously you can mitigate the chances of that happening but it’s still poo poo. And if you activate them on your first dude you can wipe them all out easily. Dumb.

Ronin is really good but I’m literally too stupid to deal with the gunners on NG+ and am stuck on like the fifth level.

The original xcom was really easy once you realized that the cheapest resource was human lives - a grizzled commander that youve kept alive the whole campaign is about as useful as two rookies A person costs about as much as a rifle so you just keep throwing bodies at the problem DebonaireD fucked around with this message at 14:38 on May 4, 2016 |

I really liked enemy within because if my buds got mortally injured it was a quicker recovery to slice all their limbs off instead of wait the five or six days to get outta icu

Also mega punching a muton that was taking covert against an alley through a wall from inside a building was bliss

Yeah the exo suit guys were badass. It was also funny when you had people with full gene upgrades turn out to be psychics also.

nobody's whined about more than an isolated crash/bugs due to mods in the xcom 2 games thread for a while now and having run those threads for like 3 years now i can tell you that the people in there will whine about loving ANYTHING so i'm currently under the impression that things work pretty good
