THE PERFECT AMBUSH POINT AGAINST XCOM!
I just bought the XCOM: Enemy Unknown Complete Pack in the sale.
From what I've seen the series looks pretty fun, but is there anything important I should know before I start playing?
Is there any way or mod to change a soldier's nationality in EW? I had a really good sniper in EU that was south African and I'd like to get him fully back into the game.

You are going to die.
That's all you need to know.
[QUOTE=Hexagon;49683521]I hope someone makes a mod that adds a engineer like class that can build cover and turrets maybe lay mines to.[/QUOTE]
I can totally see an Engineer class that can work in such a matter: One that would focus on a control of a SHIV unit that they take with them to combat (but would have to use their own Actions to use due to direct Remote Control) or instead aiming to use their other abilities to bring about static changes to battlefield, including mines and deployable cover (of course, considering that every other mission now has timers, good luck making any good of that).
THIS GAL. THIS FUCKING MANIAC SNIPER. She ONE-HANDED the sniper rifle and got a critical hit in, killing the advent.

I am so glad the sniper/pistol bug(?) still exists

IT KEEPS HAPPENING. And they're all critical hit kills when I really need them.

She is now nicknamed One-Hander.
Even the Muton can't believe it.

[QUOTE=Ryo Ohki;49683145]Overall I feel like there's a lot less RNG fuckery compared to the previous XCOM, I've had my share of failures but usually it felt it was partially my fault instead of the stupid amount of full cover crits I used to get [/QUOTE]
I'm having the opposite experience
I never felt full cover being so useless before. I'm wasting time (that i don't have because most missions are timed) looking for it just for any Advent chump always hit me through it anyway. I had Advent missing shots with almost a flank several times but as soon as i put someone in full cover they always hit.
Still having fun with the game, though. Too bad i need to wait 10 minutes to start every mission because for some reason the skyranger briefings (and only the skyranger briefings) run in like 2FPS
I've got to say that the one thing I really like about this one is the difficulty SEEMS to be a lot less arbitrary. It probably still is but I feel a lot less cheated than I did in original XCOM.
Man the second tier armor looks like ass compared to the starting stuff :c
So is the game generally recommended for a purchase right now?

Or is a wait and buy

Almost done with EW for the first time, can confirm, I've become a save scummer

i'd say wait and buy if you never played EU and EW. buy them first (they're on sale and really cheap right now) and go through them while firaxis sort their shit and release some patches for X-COM2. then you buy it
if you already played EW and EU and wants more x-com, i guess the game is "playable" enough as it is. some annoying bugs and performance issues here and there but nothing that stopped me from keep going so far
speaking of which, i haven't played that much, so anyone who already beaten the game, how are the second wave options for this one? as fun as the ones in EW?

I've personally had a fine experience with it, some slow loads times and stuttering when coming out of missions; but some people here have been talking about huge performance drops and gamebreaking bugs, so

The game needs optimization, so if you're on a low end rig, you may want to wait. It could also use a bit of balancing, but your mileage will vary on how much that bothers you.
I'd say go for it if you can put up with a little imbalance and have confidence in your rig. You likely won't be able to get a stable high framerate, but if you don't mind the dips it's fine enough. Thankfully because the game is turn-based, it wont interfere much.

I tried
Do stun lancers ignore suppression overwatch or did I just get fucked over by a bug?
I cannot stress how useful hacking turrets/mecs are. ESPECIALLY when you have a sniper.
Run a guy in, hack the thing, and then run the hell away. Then use your sniper to take out the rest.
They always try to go for the hacked enemy, and for me they always seem to miss. As long as the enemy is closer to them than your soldiers, your soldiers can wipe the rest of them up. I just took out 3 mutons and one of those big daddy dudes by hacking a mec.
I really wish you could have [sp]captured ADVENT guys and turned them to your side.[/sp]
And I hope that a mod is made soon that removed timers, extends them or makes it so you get never ending reinforcements of Ayys rather than a timer forcing you to leave.

[sp]They are literally almost full AYY though and probably don't understand feelings because they have been replaced by machines i think it's only their lips that aren't genetically changed somehow [/sp]

Yeah I know, I was hoping before the game came out that [sp] they weren't fully Ayyy[/sp] ah well :/
Got XCOM complete edition
Can't wait to try it out; anything I should know?

break LOS
just play on easy for the first time and take your time. learn the ropes. the game is hard and you will die a lot when you try higher difficulties but that's what makes x-com fun. tough but (usually) fair love.

basically they are like the combine Civil Protection officers.
...
wait a minute...
A large unknown force form a Cross universe/dimensional empire..
strange psychic like powers...
Building their armies using the best parts from hundreds of different races or just downright forcing them to fight..
mixing human and alien DNA to form a better human soldier..
oh my god
I decided to give XCOM another go after watching lots of Beagle's videos, I keep thinking 'What would Beagle do?'
