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

So has anyone played around with the modding tools? If so, how hard would sound replacements be?

[QUOTE=maniacykt;49674659]GTX970, i5 and 8 gigs of ram. Everything is on MAXIMUM settings except AA, it's on lowest setting and no vsync or framerate smoothing. Working pretty good, feels like 40, maybe 50 fps (which is weird, graphics aren't THAT advanced but if I turn AA on max I'll have like only 20 or so while any other game including Black Ops 3 and Tomb Raider are 60+ fps easy)[/QUOTE] Yeah I don't know. Performance is all over the place for a lot of people. I would be able to deal with poor fps if it wasn't for the stuttering that quite literally makes you sick.

[QUOTE=ScottyWired;49674666]You can't just post that and not show the steelbook [t]http://i.imgur.com/XuRKu4t.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/auwGBuu.jpg[/t][t]http://i.imgur.com/KvVcXgC.jpg[/t] crapcamera Middle one is a holographic, it does that heads to skulls animation. It contains the four discs, the steelbook is actually empty so basically we get two cases ???[/QUOTE] You usually get two cases with these things but it's kinda weird cos we get a special cover for the normal case too????

Okay folks, just to make it easier on everyone and not miss anyone, instead of posting your character file in a post here, just drop me a PM on Facepunch with a link to it. I'll start collecting them and when we get enough I'll pack up the whole pool and write instructions on how to use it. And when submitting a character, try to keep a consistent format like the rest. You can name your character as you wish, just have your Facepunch name somewhere in there. And although optional, try and incorporate white and red into your character. Doesn't have to be bright red or white, dark red and grey-ish colors work too. Also please name your bin file the same as your Facepunch name so I can more easily categorize everything. If you make a mistake and want to edit your character, feel free to resend it, just don't be "That" guy who sends in his character 20 times. So far I've got: Me, maniacykt, Contro101, ReligiousNutjob

Why should the nickname be your FP username? It's shorter than the last name and I want to be able to get cool nicknames from the random pool. Also nicknames are optional, last names aren't. And I feel like color coding must be non-optional so we look more unified and not abhorrent puke green and neon pink power rangers.

So I can overlook the visual bugs that happen fairly commonly (walls explode before nades even thrown, units just punch walls when trying to break windows) but fuck me when the aliens completely ignore line of site and cover its just a tad annoying, had a guy get knocked unconscious and then in the next turn get shot while he was down despite being completely surrounded by walls facing the enemy that shot him, 3 wide as well And dont even get me started on[sp] stun lancers, why is the other side of hard cover considered in range, they are like chrystalids on steriods.[/sp] I rate it 10/10, x-com can fuck me everyday and i'd still play it.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;49674390]So literally the first mission you get [sp]is a countdown mission outdoors with no covers and possibly the most unfitting roster of dumbass rookies the game can put together, and in my case a ranger.[/sp] AND you have to deal with the now really shitty save/load system. Well at least the game doesn't ease you into the love-hate relationship.[/QUOTE] 1) I think it's always [sp]ranger[/sp] if you start with a tutorial, much like Argentinian heavy in XCOM. 2) What's so shitty about save/load system?

If not we really should decide on what we're gonna use.

[QUOTE=CGNick;49674843]Well I mean, everyone kinda started off with this format, so I thought that's how it's gonna be.

I just don't want to be shoehorned in how my character is named. Matching colors have pretty much been universally agreed upon here for the pool.

You can name your character as you wish, just have your Facepunch name somewhere in there.

Fuck it, I'll try to download it on this laptop and see if I can run it. Hopefully it does.

Oh man, the first actual mission - my entire squad was wiped...not really sure how I'm ever going to do this without losing anyone. Bunch of rooks with stock equipment with an 8 turn timer fail state and a shit tonne of enemies that do more damage than I do and take less damage than I do :s

i was not prepared for sectoids with 7 hp and the ability to create zombies. but thats ok i have my pro team going now. i like that the people you create in the editor actually become the classes you chose. makes it less random and more exactly what i wanted.

I just want a fucking sharpshooter but no the game wants to give me the sword dudes instead

The workshop tags are pretty weird [thumb]http://i.imgur.com/6CV8LyC.png[/thumb]

[QUOTE=TheJoker;49675046]I just want a fucking sharpshooter but no the game wants to give me the sword dudes instead[/QUOTE] Well then, you better make them faster than a speeding bullet.

Anyone know when the AMD drivers that support Xcom2 better are coming out?

The old XCOM armour doesn't have a flag on the back. Guess someone (maybe me) needs to fix that ASAP.

A snake tongued my guy into fire then he died. [video=youtube;R0Le1S3YqMg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Le1S3YqMg&feature=youtu.be[/video]

I hope Jeep-Eep comes back now that the game's out. Once I have the game I'll characterize myself and drop a PM. T-minus 2 hours...

MY ONLY (not shit) SNIPER MISSED EVAC AND IS NOW "CAPTURED" wtf is this bullshit, can I launch a rescue mission? (they also had custom rifle+10 which makes it even more salty)

[img]http://i.imgur.com/Rm1O89H.jpg[/img] Aight lads see you in a bit! Fucking hell extraction missions are tough and tense.

So, the game draws from the list of characters currently imported no matter what, right? Can I import more friends later and they'll show up in a campaign already in progress?

I had to retire the Dean avatar I've had for the past 3-4 years to go with retro Xcom.

The FP namelist is going to be a continually updated thing right? I'm not gonna miss out on it just because I don't get home until the 13th?

Well its definitely giving me the Xcom experience I was looking for. A few hours in and I'm already salty as fuck.
