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

[Gufu]

[QUOTE=lintz;49712692]and also make it a full round action because being able to grab you and shoot you if you miss is bullshit?[/QUOTE]

Can you dodge the grab in any way?

The "ears"?

[Kite_shugo]

gonna start downloading XCOM 2 at my lunch; I'm ready. Gonna bump it up from normal on XCOM 1 and play on Commander or Legend difficulty. Not ready for the pain, it's gonna be hard to force myself not to save scum to save soldiers I care a bunch about

if they miss you they either shoot you or spit poison at you. there's not really much you can do to protect yourself

I cant launch the modding tools at all. It says its missing files. I've even tried to reinstall it. Anybody know whats up?

Install the files in the redist folder.

I just lost a soldier on gatecrasher.

On Vetetan.

I love xcom, I really do.

But I seem to be stuck at this barrier like normal>classic that I was on for years.

And constantly failing because of my own inadequacy really hurts. Just keep restarting, just keep loosing too many in the first month.

I've already admitted to myself I suck at video games, but constantly failing at my favorite video game is terriblly soul crushing.

Sometimes you lose soldiers, sometimes you fail missions. Honestly reloading saves and starting over after you feel like you fucked up takes out a huge chunk out of the game in my opinion. I used to do it, too, but I honestly think that people should be more open to the idea of losing. Sometimes it is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose.

I'd recommend ironman normal mode instead of non-ironman harder difficulties. It's much more satisfying to actually properly beat the game on a lower difficulty than it is to bullshit your way through the harder difficulties.

Thank you!

too close, you might just shoot them out of the back of it's head. i mean that is how it works.

also the best class for your Bradford is sharpshooter. Him firing 4 times with a pistol in one turn is amazing.

these chryssalids what the fuck?

totally fair that they can just pop out of the fucking ground and attack me ON MY TURN

Is there anyway to spot them beforehand or do you need the battlescanner grenade thing/specialist scan skill?

When I can play XCOM 2 I'm just going to get a rookie as my point man, as 'lid fodder.

this is my new favorite sniper woman

So what is everyone's favorite new alien?

I really really love the Andromedons.

I've only encountered up to an Archon yet and I'm not ready for Chryssalids. Not at all.

[Mellowbloom]

chryssalids aren't that bullshit now rangers and bladestorm exist, plus they tend to appear in packs ripe for exploding

[PieClock]

My game keeps crashing when I load into a certain mission.

I really want to do the mission because it warns me of severe consequences if I don't and I'm already not in the greatest of positions.

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;49713164]chryssalids aren't that bullshit now rangers and bladestorm exist, plus they tend to appear in packs ripe for exploding[/QUOTE]

null lance rips through them as they tend to form congo lines.

[Géza!]

Well I just had my first Chryssalids on a terror mission
It's probably because I'm making my first Plasma weapons, but they weren't very annoying, but rather pretty cool enemies to fight.

[GoogleyGareth]

You know what's bullshit? poisoning a group of enemies, only for a shieldbearer to throw a shield up and somehow take the damage.

Like, why does a shield affect poison damage? It should ignore armour and shields.

They are when they're in view and don't burrow.

I really like the Muton aesthetic redesign

Also they're an alien that make you go "oh shit" when you see one for the first time, but don't have a free-kill bullshit mechanic like Faceless or Codexes

[Valiantttt]

Probably gotta be the advent soldiers if they count as aliens.
The overall design is great for that oppressive government feel.

I baited a burrowed one out with a hacked ADVENT MEC :doghidden:

[Janeway]

I really like the design of Codex's, holograms phasing in and out of reality and it's unstable nature, it's a pretty cool evolution of the outsider.

Got some bullshit mechanics though, but nothing a good flashbang to the face can't fix.

Or a ranger with a shotgun with a flank shot

[Géza!]

I actually forgot about the Codex when the opportunity to finally hack an ADVENT officer presented itself

Thankfully my Ranger oneshot it with a ridiculous crit

[Mralexs]

I have the latest versions of the redistributables and I'm getting the missing components message on the SDK. Any help?
