I think the aliens are catching on to what i'm trying to do, they seem to be denying me the opportunity to capture a muton by sending out shitloads of seekers, thinmen, drones and sectoids. That or they're saving up for one massive shitstorm.
I really like that they are adding in a random element to the tech paths in the "proving grounds" system, should increase replayability a ton which I think the lack of in the former XCOMs suffered from.

Not related really but that is one mod I can not wait for when XCOM 2 rolls around, going through the Stargate to take on the galaxy.

[QUOTE=Kommodore;48471475]why do you guys play the DLC? i wasn't aware people actually did, thought they were largely ignored. they're pretty bad and they interrupt the flow of the campaign imo.[/QUOTE]

Zhang is fantastic
That psyionic woman... so-so.
Zhang really is a great character. Both his voice and his background is great. In a game where soldiers build their story by just earning kills, you'd think he would stick out like a sore thumb, but no. He gets dropped into the roster nicely, just instead of having to slowly build up his story, he already had one and you continue it. I think he was done really well and wouldn't have minded if there were more Special one-off characters like that.
Annette... well she is just... Annoying, insubordinate, a nuisance. Her story is non existent, she is just some civie with nothing tagged along her, she just had some nicely developed psi gift that the aliens exploited and that's that. And her voice, god damn, I hate when I hear her talk. All I can recall is her going "Do I have to?" and "When do I get to kill an alien?". She sounds like a 6 year old brat, rather than HUMANITY'S BEST.
And with Van Doorn, I don't get what people like about him. He just sounds like a Yankee, who thinks he is the best. I hate that overly stereotypical "Cocky american badass", yet people praise him like he is some form of god.
I didn't even notice van dorn was a character who gets added to your team.

People like him because the crazy shit he achieved in Beagle's streams. That said, it makes me a bit angry that people never remember the [B]TRUE[/B] badass.

I want that helmet in XCOM 2.
i hope there are more countries represented XCOM 2
All of them
I think the thing that bothered me a little was the relative space of the territory. North america, Being a continent of three nations (there might be some little ones in there. I don't know) translated it well into game turns, but with africa and you had these (relatively) tiny little countries on a huge continent. Should have done something like 'southern africa, central africa, northern africa' or something like that.

That's what they're doing for XCOM 2. He makes contact with "Western Europe" rather than something like Germany. Looks like individual countries are represented by soldier flags/voices, however.

RIP Don Davis ):
Has anyone saved Beagle's streams? I'm interested in watching them, but I can't see the recordings on his Twitch page.
[QUOTE=U-Lander;48478806]Maybe if they make better art assets Xenonauts 2 will feel less like a cheap knock-off of Stargate and more like something I'd be interested in playing. The alien designs in Xenonauts just put me off the game entirely.[/QUOTE]
I honestly liked the art style in Xenonauts but there's definitely more they can and will be able to do with it after all they've learned from their first attempt.
I would totally buy Xenonauts 2.

I don't like any of the unique troops because I don't wanna lose them. V:v:V

Every XCOM player always has that one soldier they'll never forget.
No one on my roster has managed to surpass Nigel yet.
Hi everyone, I have reinstalled my XCOM EU for killing some ayyys and also get my XCOM EW installed, having saved some save files from the old install. But when I try to launch the game in Steam it won't just sitting there and displaying like it is still installing at 0% 0 bytes/sec
Any idea on how to fix this?
Edit: After 4 thousand billion years in the lauching window it started, haven't any other time but this time did. Whatever

I can't find this anywhere. I think they switched out the XCOM bit for Beyond Earth.

Putting XCOM on there was probably a mistake in the first place.
It's still on the XCOM twitter:

Weird that the Firaxis twitter has a different schedule than the XCOM twitter. Maybe the people doing the XCOM twitter didn't realize things had been changed?

Snipers have always ended up being my top soldiers in my Xcom runs. Currently, Thor "Cyclops" Larson is murderizing maps full of Thin Men with only a laser pistol.

Looks like the firaxis twitter just updated to be show more specifically what they'll be talking about thurdsay, so I doubt it.
