>>323581595
Not sure it's even possible at this point without major work.

UI and gameplay was built around precision only a mouse can give. They'd have to gut it and kill the difficulty to get it on consoles.

Plebs should just get a PC.

>>323581595

Xcom sold 114k copies on console, why isn't there 114k signatures? Or even 100k or 50k or not even 10k?

There is no demanding market for it.

>>323582449
Is not just the gameplay, the art style is also oriented for PC, is why guns are normal size instead of giant cartoony nerf guns and the characters aren't gorillas like the first one.

I wish I would've had more self control.

Xcom threads are hot this week, thank God.
Three questions :
1. How to fight the Berserkers
2. Are SHIVs any good
3. Should I consider giving one of my Assaults an assault rifle, and if so, is the left or right tree better?

>>323590252
They literally revealed almost all the aliens. There's probably only 1-2 aliens left to be revealed.

It's not your fault anon.

>>323590618

1. Shoot them until they die.
2. Yes, but only if they have at least self-repair
3. The left one is saver, but always choose Rapid Fire. Rifles and Shotgun have their uses.

For Shits and giggles yes. But mechs are superior in every way.

Yes. unless using a unit for double shotty abilities/stuning.

Except for price. Shivs don't eat up your precious meld.

Yes but only if you upgrade them. They are vastly underrated and can save your ass after a squad wipe on ironman mode

>Should I consider giving one of my Assaults an assault rifle
Assault rifle are safer but shotgun are stronger. However you need to be very close to be accurate with the shotgun so it's a high risk, high reward thing

>>323592501
>Also, what's meld?
A ressource in EW.
If you don't know what it is I'm guessing you're playing EU so there's no MEC class or gene mod.

Theres an expansion pack to Xcom enemy Unknown called Enemy Within.
Its the same game but just with extra content are theres zero reason to play enemy unknown over enemy within.

>>323593670

God, that Vahlen "dont play somthing up" trap... dont hear at that, dead aliens are more important than some weapon fragments.

There is no need for EW anymore, save the money for Xcom:2

>>323594368
I dunno, I think the systems Enemy Within dumps on you in the early game are a little overwhelming, id say to start with EU and at least get to the mid or lategame before switching

>>323593284
Sorry for enjoying video games.

>>323594653
>this is the average gamer now a days

I hate to see you play Ufo Defense.

>>323580125
XCOM 2 is really not going to be any harder than EU/EW unless that is you were so shit at it that you just slowly crept up and overwatch in nearly every situation and don't know how to make actual decisions for yourself. If you're too reliant on soldier promotions than you will also be hurt by xcom 2.

>>323593904
The second wave setting makes ALL flanking shots criticals, and the beauty of shivs is you don't give a shit about cover so its flanking all day. Hover shivs literally rape everything in sight.

Can see trouble against shit like sectopods though, the DPS without crits just can't take it down fast enough.

Hopefully this time they won't lie in their percentages to hit and be hit.

>>323594875
Despite the description it "only" raised the chance to make a crit to 100% (from 50%) meaning you could still not crit against enemies with crit resistance skills.

>>323595212
It also applies against you.

Try this idiot. Now match that with the retail versions of the console games that your beloved vgchartz has. Steam top played games alone destroy that it only sold .69 million on PC. Stop using a source that doesn't even include downloads about a platform predominately based on downloads.

>>323595465
>vgchartz
>physical PC version
>on a platform that is vastly dominated by non-retail versions and downloads

Thanks for proving our point.

So in short, buy hover SHIVs and give one of my Assaults a assault rifle, cool? Cool.

Other stupid questions : outside of satellite coverage and abductions, there's no way of reducing panic, right? Arr Engineers are more important that scientists, do I stick armor on literally everyone, why am I always so broke( $573 a month, not counting corpse sales), is Chitin armor worth shit, is the Plasma Rifle and pistol the only one that drops from stunned enemies, Lasers vs plasma?

>>323582449
XCOM : EW has controller support, and it's pretty good, (although i agree that other firaxis titles can NEVER be ported on consoles)

>>323595538
>never played Fire Emblem

>>323596325
heres a hint
the country that gets panic no matter what you do is where the alien base is

>>323596460
I did the alium base already, that worldwide panic reduction saved my ass. I'm guessing there's more than one.

>>323595538
It only lies on normal and below because it uses a PRNG there. On Classic and Impossible it uses a straight RNG.

>>323596450
I played that 3ds one.

>>323596687
oh there's only one ayy base sadly unless you count the last mission
plasma does most damage
you can get heavy plasma guns from mutons

>>323593284
>not playing both
The original X-COM is one of my favorite games of all time and I still really like XCOM, even when it was pre-EW.

>>323596859
Is it better to play on a higher difficulty than Normal then? I'm not great at them anyway and I'm concerned I'll just fuck that up anyway.

>>323593284
>I always preferred TFTD

>>323596325
>buy hover SHIVs
High ranking soldier will usually outperform them. Buy them if you get squad wiped

>Arr Engineers are more important that scientists
Yes.

>do I stick armor on literally everyone
If you can afford it.

>is Chitin armor worth shit
No

>is the Plasma Rifle and pistol the only one that drops from stunned enemies
There's a total of 4 plasma weapon that you can drop.

>Lasers vs plasma
Laser is tier 2, plasma is tier 3 tech.
If you're playing on normal or below you can try to ignore laser tech and rush plasma tech for a big technological advantage. It can also be done on classic with some luck.

>>323596325
Council missions grant panic reduction, shooting down UFOs and raiding them I think grants panic reduction, assaulting the alien base gives one-time GLOBAL panic reduction so it's good to use tactically.
Engineers let you build higher tier facilites and shit earlier, good for rushing to satellite nexuses (2 nexus + 2 relays in a square = global coverage potential).
If you don't put armor on people, they WILL get one-shot.
Until you get good satellite coverage and the All In nation bonus, being broke most of the time is normal.
Mutons will start carrying actual plasma rifles for you to loot later on (and heavy floaters), so try to get some off them instead of making them youself cause they're not cheap. Chitin armor is ok as a placeholder item, mainly when you get the double item slot upgrade from the Foundry. I usually slap a scope on everything because +10 aim is always, always useful.

>>323597324
What are the plasma weapons? I know there's the pistol and rifle, and the ones sectoids use.
Also should I buy the Will upgrade? Seems rather not useful.

>>323597994
will helps you against mind control

>>323597994

Will upgrade is for psionics later. Higher will = more chances to get a psionic. I hate that mechanic, because your soldiers, who served the whole time under your command have low will at the end, and you must train new people who get more will into psionics... god thanks this want be anymore the case in Xcom:2

>>323597994
Light plasma, pistol, rifle and heavy.
There's other plasma weapons but they are not droppable, you must research and buy them.

>>323581595

>>323597994
There are 5 man-portable plasma weapons. Pistol, light plasma rifle (grants +10 aim, good for leveling shitty aim rookies), plasma rifle, heavy plasma (heavies only), plasma sniper (you have to build this one since no aliens carry one, sniper only). There is also an endgame shotgun, the alloy cannon, which is only equippable by the assault, and it does something like 20 damage on a crit.

Or you'll just forget they're a thing and be surprised when it finally does happen.

>>323600064
The estimated damage 'preview' shown on the target before making a shot doesn't take weakness/resistance into account, I think, but it should do an extra 50% to cyberdisks/sectopods, 100% if you're not playing Enemy Within.

>>323600064

Oh no, in a stroke of brilliance I took the battle scanner I never actually use because Squadsight. And so far every new recruit I've ranked has been a heavy.

>>323601472
You can still save-scum, you just have to not be a retard and realize that if you do things in a different order you can get a different outcome.

I know that you canonically lose in EU, but is it known if you can use EU saves in second game?

no adjacency bonus, full character and weapon customization that can be imported into all playthroughs, overwatch shots now fire in order instead of everyone at once, there is no air fighting with interceptors, you are now hidden at the start of the missions and can use stealth to ambush enemies before they see you, the sniper starts with oversight, pistols are majorly buffed and you can literally make Ocelot out of a sniper with the Gunslinger class, you can now hack shit with your support, there are a shitton of new aliens, the maps are randomly generated every time so you'll never play the same map again, Loot system: fallen enemies and allies will yield loot that can be picked up and brought back to base, backpack for loot, limited carrying capacity per soldier, Mission Objectives to complete missions - killing all enemies is optional, entirely destructible environments, floors and ceilings included, there are now Fire, Acid and Explosive barrels, Skyranger extraction zone can be called in anywhere on the map, so long as there is sufficient space to do so, weapons can now be upgraded with various mods and parts looted from enemies and these weapons can be freely moved between soldiers, the weapons confirmed so far are Ballistic, Magnetic, Laser and Plasma, Gender and Nationality can be freely customized, you can now Re-talent soldiers so no more 10 snipers 0 assault situations, veteran soldiers will receive unique customization options. Snek.

Nope. They would 100% have told us about that earlier to improve EU/EW sales.

I'm kind on the fence here, I mean I really want to play Dark Souls III on release, but at the same time XCOM 2 keeps looking better and better. I can't afford both.

I was flying blind, and I had 2 so I said why not? I thought it would be a lot more useful tan it actually is. The aim penalty is what kills it, 20 is too much.

SCOPE on all, a couple of grenades for when you absolutely need splash or guaranteed damage, and a medpack on a heal-specialized support.
Endgame mind-shields are also a big fuck you to ethereals/sec commanders and give your psi-troops monster will for that delicious 100% mindfray/mind control chance.

>>323603374
I prefer snapshot. I can never seem to get Squadsight to work for me. Can never find a good position that actually lets me hit anything. Especially on missions inside alien bases. Id rather be able to have my sniper be able to shoot on the fly.

My best soldier the first time I beat the game was a snapshot sniper.

>>323603850
I didn't even bother with jetpack when I stealth modified my sniper. That perk that makes low cover count as full cover and you're always invisible.

>>323579149
I'd give it like a ~40% chance.

>>323603416
They said it was because of mods, but sales are to blame. Its interesting that they made even mobile versions.

People prefer order over chaos no matter who's in charge and i don't blame them compared to (insert real life situation here). That and they get mind chips upgrades at free clinics that keep those annoying thoughts away.

Just making sure, since I don't follow it closely until release.
You can make some easter eggs with the data though. Like meeting your old soldiers as part of enemy teams or something. Imagine fighting your team from your last EU save file.

Not created equally and hidden potential are great, breaks the monotomy of soldier advancement nicely. You get some total screwballs with shit stats that you either sacrifice or dismiss, and then you get some fucking supermen that you value more than anything.

Aiming angles is a solid one that comes a great way of eliminating the "point blank with 90% chance to hit" problem.

Take it out from range. First kill the drones, then whittle the health down with your squadsight sniper and mech-damage heavy. Then when he's ripe for the taking, run and gun with an assault for a double shot to the face.

There's not that much risk in preordering the sequel since they've released a lot of free-form footage already, which looks solid even if it's from a by now month or two old build.
You know exactly what you're getting, so the only reason you would hold off is worry that it's going to break on day one. Which is pretty unlikely considering they said they were done with the game in september yet pushed it back to february for polish.

Maybe like Total War where you have % based auto-resolve. And of course getting into the action yourself to make sure the squad doesn't try to kill ayyliens with a shotgun from max range.

It's a good thing mods will fix alien variety and might even just give us an endless sandbox mode to do stuff in.

CAN WE PLEASE GET A FUN ENDLESS SANDBOX MODE that still has a loss state of only when the Avenger is destroyed?

I'm 30 and have been here since day one, It's a struggle but I'm still alive.

It will come out for consoles eventually, but not anytime soon. They will wait and see if a console comes to them first. Fireaxis has a strong enough base on PC.

In XCOM 2 does India still have designated shitting streets or was it solved by Advent?

Just preordered for $45. Last game I preordered was Civilization Beyond Earth. Same company. And it was a major disappointment. But I don't care, it looks too fucking good, and it seems like the A team is on this one.
