XCOM V4: "Svinnik - Why is Shen's daughter asian, when Shen is black?" - Games

[QUOTE=Beacon;49825815]I don't know what the format of EW assets is, but they're not PBR, right? In which case it's going to be a pain.[/QUOTE] I don't actually know, I assumed since it's the same engine, it would be roughly the same format.

So I'm doing the [sp]mission at the Advent Broadcasting Station[/sp] and this is the first time I've met [sp]Andromedons[/sp] and I just think it's hilarious how they destroy everything they touch. Like, they're just PATROLLING with other aliens and everything they walk through is destroyed. I watched one of them calmly walk through a doorway and the walls on both side fell down. You'd think they wouldn't let these particular units patrol, they'd make them sit in one area and guard or something.

well, potential bad news for everybody awaiting anything i'm doing my computer is showing signs of dying, so any ETA on anything i've been doing is gonna be up in the clouds since i have no idea if my comp's gonna be able to hold up sorry everybody :v

Don't lose everything like I have in the past. And by dying, do you mean the whole rig or is it just the hard drive?

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;49826418]Back everything up dude. Don't lose everything like I have in the past. And by dying, do you mean the whole rig or is it just the hard drive?[/QUOTE] i think it's my hardware that's being fucky i'm currently backing everything up

So I just finished XCOM 2. Not going to spoil anything but I'm 99% sure there will be an XCOM 3.

well it sort of feels like my system is in order now i'm still backing everything up, but i think i might be in the clear hopefully :v:

Just exercise caution for a bit

that's the plan

so I had a 600+ minute session of XCOM 2 and wow. I just can't stop playing the game, and I know I'll be making a second playthrough with a mod that lets you play as ADVENT soldiers because why the fuck not. Met Sectopod for first time and it glitched through the building: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/306613566910714139/4ACC1E801EDA6B3CD64C115B75C1C55A0E45E4F3/[/t] I made this screenshot because "lol mind controlled unit most attacks" but look at Jensen's face..

This is legit one of the reasons I'll keep playing this game.

I keep getting advent mechs that walk down the sides of buildings. And I mean -walk down- the sides, as in rotate 90 degrees and fucking run down the wall until they hit the ground. xenos plz

dropping proximity mines into advent landing zones is the best thing ever so nice of them to show me where they're going to drop their guys "uhhhh x-com just dropped a mine on our landing zone, how about moving to a different plac-" "how are we going to land without the smoke? [I]don't be stupid[/I]" i miss EXALT coming from the edges of the map instead of exploding fireworks and using spotlights to show which entrance they would use to send reinforcements next turn

Using the suicide vest mod on an inspired psi-op with fortress is some gud shit, xcom managed to invent reusable suicide bombers. If they call you a terrorist you might as well live up to it yknow

[QUOTE=ColdAsRice;49828210]Using the suicide vest mod on an inspired psi-op with fortress is some gud shit, xcom managed to invent reusable suicide bombers. If they call you a terrorist you might as well live up to it yknow[/QUOTE] there should be a civilian collaborator mod

[QUOTE=Hogie bear;49826875]Get that shit on camera.[/QUOTE] [t]http://i.imgur.com/HLPTbXn.jpg[/t] This shot perfectly sums it up, not only is it mid stride but that guy just missed his overwatch on it.

I found some Advent repainting a billboard [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/314494866262916162/C298D714784FCA7C4A2DDF7DFB9A940F8FEAA7C9/[/t]

Is there an "Enable All" mod for mod/workshop content? Every time I add new mods, the launcher can't "remember list of enabled mods" and I have to go through and tick each box every time I launch xcom.

I really hate AVATAR breakthrough guerrilla missions, they turn dark events from an interesting risk/reward decisions to one blatantly correct choice.

[QUOTE=greasemunky;49830409]I really hate AVATAR breakthrough guerrilla missions, they turn dark events from an interesting risk/reward decisions to one blatantly correct choice.[/QUOTE] Except not always, because Avatar Progress can generally be ignored for quite a while. One or two extra pips won't hurt and if the breakthrough lands on an actual facility, you can just blow it up later. Facility lead hacks are your best friend.

Even more so in the early game when the avatar progress is low.

the only thing i always make sure to avoid is increased vigilance/mission timers (using TC)/extra armor to ADVENT if i'm during beginning to mid game the rest is manageable enough

I like letting more Faceless tick over, more bodies to turn into Mimic Beacons down the line, it's basically the kind of Dark event that aids you if you know how to deal with Faceless.

I just noticed the thread title about Shen and his daughter Lily. Shen wasn't black, he was Taiwanese :v:
