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

Do the loading screens get more distorted as you get further into the storyline? I swear they look different.

Since the SPUF is being useless, I figured I'd try asking here, I'm getting an error when launching the game, it just creates a small unopened window and starts eating all my RAM in a few seconds. Example: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/stbbOL0.png[/IMG] The primary consistent errors I've received throughout validating, reinstalling, and rebooting are these: [code][0003.67] Error: Corrupt texture [Texture2D UI_3D.Waypoint.Fire]!

Edit: I like the random muton in there.

Is it me or is the world map way too frantic? I barely have any time to do anything in it before being thrown into another mission. This is something I always hated about XCOM EU, it felt as if I got way too many missions too quickly, I also hate the terror\retaliation missions, I was actually hoping we'd get base assault missions instead of more terror missions from XCOM EU. I just don't find those missions fun in any way. I don't feel as if I have a ton of a choice either, the world map kinda plays itself until I click through most pop ups until the next mission. Maybe it's just the difficulty itself though. Also I realized that the game was built around with the idea of being way more fast paced, but I feel as if I'd need more moments to relax a little bit before a battle :v: I'm actually dissapointed by the lack of story cutscenes, I would've loved to see more. Not too many though, just the right amount. I'll most likely change my mind as I keep playing so, whatever, I'm near the end which is why I wrote this :v: Cutscenes can be a great tool to slow the pacing though, and to give you a moment to relax, kinda like in Resident Evil 4 (without the QTEs though).

Once again [sp]The game doesn't tell us what the Ethereals were running from and who/what conquered their homeworld[/sp] I just wanna know Firaxis

i like the normal standard armours over all the upgraded sci-fi stuff

So anyone have ideas for alternative weapon tiers? IE you could research Lasers instead of mag weapons, some sort of Tesla weapons somewhere, maybe phasers instead of plasma, etc

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;49726518]i like the normal standard armours over all the upgraded sci-fi stuff[/QUOTE] It always sucks how the higher tiers are so much worse cosmetically than the lower ones Energy weapons are literally always neon colored pew pew guns that have 0 impact and the bulky armor from the 2nd tier was the best

[QUOTE=_Maverick_;49726518]i like the normal standard armours over all the upgraded sci-fi stuff[/QUOTE] I'm totally considering making some titan inspired armor from xcom1 be a higher tier mod also I encountered my first viper with like 2 stun lancers, those bastards [editline]12th February 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=mralexs;49726554]So anyone have ideas for alternative weapon tiers?

Also someone needs to bring back the Jetpack, perhaps as a development project using Archon tech mixed with shieldbearer tech to protect them while they are in the air or something. Also, what would really be cool as a mod, imagine a mission in which you take on some of the original aliens from EU, like you find an old crashed UFO with some of the older aliens in stasis or something and you finding it reactivates them, I think that would be pretty neat, and it let's you obtain some older tech, or unique customization options from the previous games to play around with.

I really want someone to make a Crysis nanosuit mod for high tier armor, would love to be able to make it look like this: [t]http://pre08.deviantart.net/34e2/th/pre/i/2011/279/4/a/crysis_mod_screen_1_by_itopal63-d4c18cu.jpg[/t] (crysis 1 nanosuit skin my dad made)

I was really hoping the tier 2 and 3 armors would be more of a crude but effective setup instead of evil looking silver lined geometric patterns and sleek smooth power armor.

Can't wait for the Nexus XCOM 2 nude mods with a boob slider and everything.

The scifi armors really do clash with the, resistance aesthetic, especially when tattoos and headgear are concerned I mean, Tier 2 looks haphazard enough but powered armours just straight skyrocket into "lol we TRON now" territory and I'm left wondering where in her ass did Shen suddenly pull the advanced machining and manufacturing capability to build smooth glowy designer armor from :vs:

They should have just kept it roughly the same as the titan armour from EU/EW though imo.

I don't mind the armor itself, but I do agree it feels a little out of place with the theme of the game. Plasma weapons all look badass though.

I even made peace with their weird looks, although colours and patterns just straight-up don't look as good on them as the previous tiers

[QUOTE=Kite_shugo;49726787]I really want someone to make a Crysis nanosuit mod for high tier armor[/QUOTE] I would've loved to see a nano-suitlike enemy in the game. With the aliens loving to mess with DNA-combinations, it would've made sense to make a "chameleon-alien" that could change it's genetic make-up on the field, getting abilities from other aliens, and switching focuses like strength or speed.
