COMMANDER, SENSORS ARE PICKING UP AN XCOM THREAD

With all this exclusivity shit going on, and seeing how T2 publishes the games, doyou guys think Xcom 3 could be an Epic store exclusive?

rebel star, mario rabbids, the list could go on.........

Really? Do go on with that list.

final fantasy tactics, ogre battle, fire emblem, the list could continue to go on................

Hello. Commander.

I never made any of the PsiOps because they always costed an arm and a leg to make over the course of like two months and it just didn't seem worth it. Are they worth making?

xcom 2 runs about 40-60 fps but randomly drops to 1-10 fps and stays there

i5 2500k 970 gtx 8 gigs ram

any suggestions?

PsiOps counter Psionic enemies super hard. They even have an ability where they can free someone from mind control just by being near the victim.

Yes, Domination is a great ability

nuCom 1>>>>>nuCom 2

You simply cannot refute this

I can, because XC2 have better maps

We talking long war nucom1? Or standard because standard
can not compete with xcom2

In my irrelevant opinnion
customization: xcom2
story and world building: xcom2
difficulty and tactical thinking required: xcom1 long war
anticipation/horror: xcom1 long war
xcom2 was a snowball fest while 1 was aways difficult

xcom2 then just blows it the fuck out because mods

also this fuck hunting aliens around the map

>better maps
Only with mods.

>customizing Xcom2 to replace all the soldiers with ODST and all the aliens with Elites
I dont even like Halo

Not even with mods

The maps were clearer and provided a lot of ways to mix things up tactically

Did you forget the burning bridge level?

I have mixed opinions on the big alien ship extermination missions but even they were cancer at times

s-stop user one can only be so hard for so long

Begone alien scum.

Nah, even the procedurally generated XC2 mission are better than EW
It's the one thing I hate about XC1, always the same maps

mein neger
shit hits the fan during late parts but man what a ride
fun fact: the creator of xcom did some work on it

even before that I wasn't hearing good things from the Alpha/Beta testers

I played the backer builds and thought they were fine

is that out yet

Straight up boring combat
The target selection couldn't save it

The only thing im interested in is the classes and groups

Also why is this game so photogenic

Gonna be the first time I pirated something in a while

Speaking of maps, how has nobody remade the EU UFOs for maps? I'd have thought at least the scout would have been made by now since its model is in TLP.

Just use a collection and add/remove cosmetic stuff.

But either way I have to go through the couple hundred I have installed
and that's a lot of work

How did you let it happen? Normally the madman should run out of ammo at that point

>still no nude snek mod
That's the only thing that'd motivate me to do another playthrough.

Really? It sounds like it would be easy if you just modify mutons or something

I wish there was a way to really jew the countries underneath your protection. Like if you let a few alien raids "accidentally" slip by into regions to convince them to up the amount of cash they send you. Then i'd make all my soldiers italians and pretend the mob was saving the world.

>don't build it and just spend mission after mission grinding out money, resources and skills for your soldiers
Would this work? Enemies would never get any more difficult and I could theoretically do this until I had more creds and tech than I'd ever need, right? Since the story isn't progressing?

Krogans with Muton (x2 version) proportions would actually look good. My biggest problem with the stupid frogs is that they're forced into basic human proportions because Bioware are lazy nigs that don't want to make them their own animations and guns so they're just hulking niggas with twig limbs.

That's how it works in OG X-Com: instead of just blowing up all the UFOs, you can let the aliens build a base and rack up a ton of score thanks to the landed transports

I was posting a run of The Xcom Files to Yea Forums a while back.
Someone mentioned that, because my tactics were good, the run was not entertaining to watch because my victory was pretty much guaranteed.
I had no counter. They were right. The run wasn't entertaining.
The question is, how do I avoid this in future? Is it even possible to avoid it?

How do I make skirmishers useful?

You let Yea Forums control some of your decisions like tech choices, load outs, etc..
That's how you ensure there's some randomness and community interaction

Play something that you never played before

Sounds like a trainwreck. I assume that's the point.
Welp, buckle up lads.

You will eventually get overpowered by the Ayy lmaos

I get frustrated when I see willing incompetence.
It's one thing to not know what the fuck you're doing.
It's entirely another to know what you should be doing and opting not to do it.
It's why I can't enjoy Dwarf Fortress anymore. Despite the game's potential, discussions are so full of low tier play that I get disgusted by them. The same is thankfully not true of UFO: Enemy Unknown, but it's still an issue.

Despite being a useless feature I absolutely love the photobooth.
Once I'm done with Sekiro and Outward I'm definitely gonna do another run just to try out the new poses from the tacticool legacy pack

The enemy will progress whether you do story missions or not, you could grind out XP and gear until everyone is max rank and geared yes but the enemy will too. It just means you'd have to do all the story content one after the other and by that point you'll have outlevel/geared it so it just becomes a chore. I'd recommend doing them normally, unless you're super scared of losing

Don't do the story Blacksite mission until weapons are Tier 2, same with Alien Hunters/Shens' Last Gift if you have them

Attached: 1319870009365.jpg (380x416, 10K)

How do I git gud at this game?

Psh, casual. I spent 30 hours in a day once. I went that hard.

Shen's Last Gift is pretty easy to do with ballistic tier, just get everyone up a rank or two and the extra squad slot. The mooks fall easily and Lily can stun Julian for two turns letting you unload on him with impunity.

I miss /xcg/.
I wonder how it would have exploded if it was still alive when that shitstorm occurred.

Use all your items/abilities when needed, don't try to "save" them
Don't move forward too fast and aggro every enemy on the map at once.

Hard West is like a cowboy X-com
