Man, I really wanted to pick this game up during the summer sale but between the fourth and bills, all I could afford was Prison Architect and Dark Souls 1. Super excited to see how different it is from XCom 1.

If anyone is waiting for a sale on Xcom 2, it's on sale for about $30 on green man gaming.

FFFFFFF-I just bought it on Steam the other day :shepspends:

Ah well, I really wanted it during the summer sale and not being able to afford it then made it so hard to resist, especially with the LP starting.

I cringe every time Jade puts half the squad in cover behind an unexploded car. Always mind your surroundings.
Blast padding might not be such a bad pick if you're going to do that :D.

I had a soldier get vaporized when a car that looked like a junker exploded while he was taking cover behind it. Worst part is, I wasn't paying attention to the feed and didn't realize that he had died since, y'know, the car that started the mission missing four tires and already on fire should have been a burnt out husk and been safe to hide behind.

I skulljacked the first pod I saw on a convoy raid before I had seen Vipers or anything like that. It...went badly. Not game over badly, but bad enough that I scrapped that run.

So I'm thinking about picking this game up since it's on sale. It looks like fun and I'm enjoying EU/EW, but I'm hesitant about the bug/glitch situation. Everyone loves to say "fix your game, Jake" but to what degree do the errors actually detract from gameplay? I'm a little bothered by reports of LoS bugs/shooting through solid walls and such- it's already frustrating when it happens in EU/EW, and it sounds like it's even worse this time around?

I never felt like there were that many bugs/glitches that impacted my game, and I feel like the actual story progression in XCOM 2 has been better than EU. I just laugh when I see one of my dudes shoot through a wall and kill something, so that may be why it doesn't bug me much.

Can I vote we name someone else Empanada, if only to confuse Jade even more? Otherwise, I'm absolutely for Siobhan "Shredder" Mackenzie and Eph "Beef" Phatha.
