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

[QUOTE=joshuadim;49651692][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/JKVO3U4.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] That's cool I guess. I'm a little bummed out it might not be PC exclusive (I'm selfish, it made me all warm and fuzzy when they said PC exclusive), but at any rate they developed for PC first.

[QUOTE=haloguy234;49651541]Pulling shit out of sci-fi one could make the assumption that a plasma rifle would have similarities to magnetic propulsion weapons. The difficult part is getting the plasma rifle to actually make plasma, but firing it and containing it would likely require some form of containment, and you can just look at what we know about stars which are essentially massive balls of plasma to know that electromagnetic forces do a good job of containing it.[/QUOTE] Lol, Stars actually stay in one piece because of the balance between the inward force of gravity and the outward force of pressure in the gas due to its temperature. Unless you refer to the magnetosphere of the Earth which does a great job of keeping charged particles coming from the Sun [U]out[/U].

For those of you who don't get what's exactly behind that tweet, there was another stream where they did a terror mission and a ranger missed an almost point blank 95% shot, then missed with his Blademaster, and got tased.

It was hilarious.

Not that terror missions were really a big issue in EU but why are they in XCOM 2 if Earthicans are friends with Advent?

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;49650336]"I missed a 95% shot, seriously?" Does that man not know how percentages or odds work?[/QUOTE] I still remember missing at least 2-3 times at 99% hit rate while playing FFTactics. Now that was something else but it happens from time to time. [QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;49649177]I'm sorry to hear that. I'll offer sacrifices so that you can once more gain employment, hopefully in something you enjoy and won't have to take a job you aren't entirely happy with just to pay the bills. :v:[/QUOTE] Thanks, I'll need those sacrifices :dead:

[QUOTE=spekter;49651970]Not that terror missions were really a big issue in EU but why are they in XCOM 2 if Earthicans are friends with Advent?[/QUOTE] Well you'll just have to wait 4 days and find out

What would you guys say the chances are of me being able to run XCOM 2 on DX 10.1 hardware? Reading around, it seems like a lot of DX11 games can be run on DX 10.1 if you just disable the actual DX11 features.

Or 'acquire' a copy to see if it runs before you buy.

[QUOTE=Rents;49652143]It's directX 11 only, I wouldn't chance it. Or 'acquire' a copy to see if it runs before you buy.[/QUOTE] Well I was just planning to use the steam refund thing if it doesn't run.

Funstock still hasn't given me my key. Anyone order from them and get theirs?

So I was listening to some Xcom EU tracks since, well, you know. During this, I made a huge mistake and scrolled a little bit down [img]http://i.imgur.com/UwbF0uO.png[/img] Truly, Xcom is a game for [I]intellectuals[/I] and none of the [I]CoD fags[/I] could ever appreciate it. Man, any music on YouTube has it's own share of these guys, even fucking game OSTs.

Or pretty much any neo-classical/trailer music artist? 33% of it is "Chuck Norris listens to this while on the toilet", another 50% of it is terrible poetry/imagery or *insert cringy daydream here*, about 10% is then your typical "this is [I]real [/I]music" crap and the rest is relatively normal

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;49652180]Well I was just planning to use the steam refund thing if it doesn't run.[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, I forgot that was a thing now.

It's really inconvenient when you live ahead of anyone else. What do I mean it right now it's 2nd of February in here, so you'd think it's only 3 more days, right? WRONG. It's actually 4 days because damn Americas and Europe are lagging behind on time. That's what we get for having UTC+09:00 timezone.

If my computer can run EU and EW, could it run XCom 2? Are they about the same graphics wise?

[QUOTE=jimbobjoe1234;49652737]If my computer can run EU and EW, could it run XCom 2? Are they about the same graphics wise?[/QUOTE] XCOM2 has higher requirements, you should really just check the sys requirements. Minimum OS: Windows® 7, 64-bit Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 2.6 GHz or AMD Phenom 9950 Quad Core 2.6 GHz Memory: 4 GB RAM Graphics: 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5770, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 or better DirectX: Version 11 Storage: 45 GB available space Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card Recommended OS: Windows® 7, 64-bit Processor: 3GHz Quad Core Memory: 8 GB RAM Graphics: 2GB ATI Radeon HD 7970, 2GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 or better Storage: 45 GB available space Sound Card: DirectX compatible sound card You didn't post your specs you'll have to check yourself. If you're too lazy for that, you could buy it on steam, try it, and if it doesn't work just refund it.

i actually thought it came out tomorrow so [editline]1st February 2016[/editline] dang

Hey [B]CGNick[/B]. You did the Ballistics only run on XCom right? Long War Impossible was it? Do you have any videos or such, or even like the endgame stat screen. I faintly remember you completing it.

In any case, have this finale screenies: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/443952665468142186/4FD26B47811E7F06C17BA1A998ACDF617198EA80/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/443952665468142889/3FCEB1E51501C348DBC37363354235F64679FB1E/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/443952665468143878/2A6A16776F21656722AD73515B1BA0635FA7B48E/[/t]

Well, can't wait to go to a local library to get those 45GBs.

Is there going to be a preload? Because there is no way I can start downloading the time I wake up at 5am and have it finished by 2pm when I get back. I'm not even going to keep it downloading while I sleep since my PC is in my room and has bright blue lights and large fans
