Re: Xcom 2 thread
The game cheats in your favor in so many ways on Veteran, how are you getting your ass kicked?
Anyway, I've been dumping a ton of time into Long War of the Chosen as of late, it's amazing amounts of fun if you don't mind the masochism of it all

I found that difficulty easy to the point where the game was literally skipping story events because I was faffing about consequence-free, as well as trivially cheesing some missions, but the game is so long I haven't returned to it yet. (Played XCOM:EW four times though)

Re: Xcom 2 thread
You asking how I'm losin?
I place my squaddies right into the middle of hidden enemies with crazy accuracy that kill them in 1 round, me not being able to do anything against it
No joke I missed a Advent officer like 5 times with 40% hit chance yesterday

Re: Xcom 2 thread
Yeah I never actually finished my original playthrough of vanilla from when the game launched, it really is a loooong game for how much replayability there actually is. Chimera Squad was much more appealing in that sense, much more snack sized which fit better with the pacing of new mechanics and enemies. I did manage to beat it recently with LWOTC which adds a bunch of depth and mechanics throughout the game, but even with all that added stuff it's still generally agreed that the end quarter of the game is really sparse.SpaceManiac wrote:I found that difficulty easy to the point where the game was literally skipping story events because I was faffing about consequence-free, as well as trivially cheesing some missions, but the game is so long I haven't returned to it yet. (Played XCOM:EW four times though)
As far as tips for gitting gud, check these out:
- Don't charge blindly ahead with yellow moves while there are still enemies around, lest you activate a bunch of them and have no way to pull back
- Don't put yourself in a position where any one or two bad rolls of the dice can make or break things. You'd be surprised how many clutch situations can be avoided by just falling back and setting up overwatch.
- if all else fails, just spam meme beacons

Re: Xcom 2 thread
get mag weapons or plated armor before doing the first blacksite, both if you want to be 100% sure
pods will naturally curve towards between you and the objective, even when you're in stealth
also xcom 1 is just overwatch camping till the ayys walk into your death pit on their turn, 2 is better solely because you can't do that as effectively. 1 has better atmosphere tho

Like are you just letting the base avatar progress go without doing anything?
BTW if memory serves the first blacksite isn't actually a black site and just cuts avatar progress by a set amount like any if the other story missions.

You have MECs, humans who have sacrificed any hope of normalcy to fuck up the xenos
And then you have a boring robot whose death means nothing
I loved the moment in XCOM where I realized how alien my soldiers must be, space wizards with guns, almost invisible supersoldier snipers who can jump massive distances, literally just dreadnoughts from warhammer. I really miss all of the stuff like that.
