BEAGLE'S BACK! XCOM: War Within - Ironman Impossible S3 #1: Final Spark - General

[video=youtube;zUeHJ2RU1e0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUeHJ2RU1e0[/video] Also, yes I'm mad none of my fanart was used

Holy shit, I remember checking his channel yesterday and thinking how disappointing it was that he stopped putting up xcom vids. Amazing.

This just made my day!

this game actually looks pretty good is it good?

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44567772]this game actually looks pretty good is it good?[/QUOTE] Oh it's excellent.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44567772]this game actually looks pretty good is it good?[/QUOTE] XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and it's more recent expansion Enemy Within, are both fantastic.

Woah shit he used a bunch of my artwork. What a [del]copyright-infringing asshole sonuva[/del] nice guy.

This guy does all everything all tactical and planned out. When I played Xcom I just sent units straight into buildings on there own, and then wondered why my guys died so much :v:

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44567772]this game actually looks pretty good is it good?[/QUOTE] Won Giant Bomb's GOTY 2012 I believe. Xcom is super fun, and is on sale constantly.

excellent. can't wait to see Beagle/Dys get a bullshit crit on their first mission and die on the spot.

I never watched Beagles XCOM series, but damn is this good.

[QUOTE=Niklas;44568832]I never watched Beagles XCOM series, but damn is this good.[/QUOTE] You should! Yes, this is the best one, but the others are amazing. The reason I love Beaglerush's style is that he gives everything character, it creates great stories about the games

[QUOTE=Destroyox;44568779]Hah, never knew you were on Facepunch pilotguy[/QUOTE] Been here fo ages mate.

[QUOTE=Pilotguy97;44568847]Been here fo ages mate.[/QUOTE] Yea, I just never noticed you I guess, mainly cause we post in different sections. Also got to get my asskissing out of the way by saying I love your art

[QUOTE=Archimedes;44567905]XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and it's more recent expansion Enemy Within, are both fantastic.[/QUOTE] with the exception of the terror missions ([B][I]i swear to fucking god i fucking hate terror missions[/I][/B])

Great episode, this going to be a good season [QUOTE=Destroyox;44565791] Also, yes I'm mad none of my fanart was used[/QUOTE] He didn't use any of mine either (ramkeham) :(

[QUOTE=codemaster85;44569234]with the exception of the terror missions ([B][I]i swear to fucking god i fucking hate terror missions[/I][/B])[/QUOTE] You're not supposed to like terror missions.

Holy Shit I have never been more excited

did he just say he completed ironman impossible in his own time?

[QUOTE=Turnips5;44570263]did he just say he completed ironman impossible in his own time?[/QUOTE] He completed AN Ironman Impossible in his spare time, I don't think he means the save he used for his series.

Wait, Long War has been finally updated to work with Enemy Within? Holy fuck here we go.

what is long war? i figured that was the expansion but i can't find it

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44570863]what is long war? i figured that was the expansion but i can't find it[/QUOTE] Isn't Long War the mod that just turns certain aspects of X-Com into total bullshit. Like Self Healing Mutons that heal 3hp every turn or whatever it was.

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44570863]what is long war? i figured that was the expansion but i can't find it[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/88/?"]It's a mod.[/URL]

[QUOTE=BrickInHead;44570863]what is long war? i figured that was the expansion but i can't find it[/QUOTE] nah, it's a mod; looks like there's a beta version of it for enemy within [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/download/1000003910/?"]here[/URL]

Great video. The mod mentioned sounds interesting, does it in any way make Enemy Unknown more like the original Xcom?

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;44570901]Isn't Long War the mod that just turns certain aspects of X-Com into total bullshit. Like Self Healing Mutons that heal 3hp every turn or whatever it was.[/QUOTE] Not just that, but the amount of attacks you get per month is increased, more UFOs (which is good, more money), more everything. Often you get like 10 squads of enemies on abduction, on a tiny little construction yard map. Don't forget twice as much chrysalids and zombies on Terror missions! And 5 sectopods! To balance this shit, you get squad size of 6 at the start and then up to 8, each class branches into two specialists with all the useful shit, by the time Base comes up you already have a whole army of powerhouses under your command! Oh my god, I missed it so much. Can't wait to play EW with it.

so if i were to play xcom should i do it vanilla first or just go right in with long war? i generally don't buy into the whole "PLAY IT VANILLA FIRST THEN MOD IT" crowd. does long war actually make it more fun? or just more difficult for veterans?

Might want to play vanilla first just to get to grips with standard gameplay otherwise longwar might be a bit daunting
