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

It's amazing how even after you've pretty much figured out how to steamroll in this game it still fucks you over RNG at times and ruins everything.

who was the guy who was playing with 40+ soldiers link please?

I don't have the specific webms, but pretty much the entire middle section of that vod is just Beagle screwing around with squad sizes.

[QUOTE=Noah Gibbs;49603119]The game doesn't allow you to progress to the final area until every alien earlier in the level is dead, there are a couple of areas where you get 2 options to progress, there's still a thin man or something hiding back there.[/QUOTE] I'm aware of what happened. Basically I thought going in with a Mind Controller Elite Muton was a good idea, then the fucker just snapped out of it instantly as he stepped in a decided to live as a farmer or some fucking shit afterwards. I waited many, many turns for him to show up and he never did.

Update on first time through XCOM with EW mk.2 I encountered my first cyberdisc with my 2 of my best soldiers at half health after 2 squad mates died to Cryssalids (those fucking assholes, seeing these kills me) pretty triggered by Cyberdiscs now. I didn't know they were [I]this evil [/I] but my 2 guys were able to do it against the face of adversity. I won't deny I save scummed once to do it, and it was well worth it Exalt is pretty crazy too, I like how you can feel the base of xcom 2 with them Then I made my sister into a soldier and lopped all her arms and legs off and made her into a mec :v: I'm really loving this game so far after not knowing how I'd feel about it; but oh god I'm afraid for the future after cyberdisc. [sp] gene augments are badass[/sp]

Does anyone else think it looks kinda awkward to see soldiers training in such tiny rooms? I guess xcom has to make due with what they got but it just bugs me. I guess they have a treadmill? Lol

I'm so down for that Dark VIP council of FP staff to take out for xcom 2

Do you think Firaxis is waiting to release XCOM 2 on other platforms until they figure out how to get PC mods onto consoles?

[QUOTE=Senscith;49603578]There's a whole other mission where he takes all those guys on a terror mission, shouting about Charlies in the trees.[/QUOTE] The unmuted part starts at 3:27:10 in the VOD linked above. I can't wait to have the game in my hands to pull similar shenanigans.

[QUOTE=joshuadim;49605656][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FtERJuh.png[/IMG] :scream: please dont be true[/QUOTE] I know at least a couple of those are 100% true. The building one and the height advantage one, I believe.

[QUOTE=Kartoffel;49605792]I know at least a couple of those are 100% true. The building one and the height advantage one, I believe.[/QUOTE] The armour too, iirc, though that may have been a difficulty level related thing from the footage I saw. And the immunity to psi and fire at least is true, and I assume the poison attacks too. And I think the electric attack for melee attackers was mentioned in the official reveal of it, or I got that from another source. About the only one of those I've not heard is the 3 moves per turn, I don't think that's true, but everything else is iirc.

If late game XCOM 2 is anything like late game XCOM EU, they'll still go down in one turn with two high-level snipers.

[QUOTE=PsiSoldier;49605778]Semi-related to consoles, kinda; anyone else prefer to play XCOM with a gamepad on PC, or am I in a tiny minority here? :v[/QUOTE] I played few games with gamepad and the biggest difference was the speed. Everything takes longer to do and because of it I had more time to think my decisions more tactfully. Had lot less deaths too.

TIL you can abort a landed ufo mission in LW after killing most of the pods and still get a shitload of salvage

[QUOTE=joshuadim;49605656][IMG]http://i.imgur.com/FtERJuh.png[/IMG] :scream: please dont be true[/QUOTE] I hope it is Sectopods in XCOM EU were a joke, by the time you get to that stage in the game the obligatory double-tap plasma sniper/rapid fire plasma rifle assault/two shot plasma heavy just makes them invalid Just about the only way you could find it fearsome, in maybe a difficulty less than impossible, was if you really screwed up your patrol and you alerted it with all your guys in terrible positions. Then the free, automatic overwatch gets nasty. But even then I never really got the feeling I was up against a giant death robot that had a credible chance of killing my team

Couldn't you just use disabling shot on a sectopod and spend 2 turns obliterating it if you didn't have the damage to do it in 1?

On Temple Ship, I sacrificed "Mecha-Zhang" to stun the two Sectopods at the end so I'd have some free time to deal more damage. He didn't die, he almost did, but we revived him in time.
