XCOM 2 is only 3 weeks away lads. Let's predict what we'll hate about it.
>>
>>324127601
It's different from the original X-com. It's too similar/too different from the remake. DLC. Bullshit rng.

That's my guess for what people will be bitching about, even though they secretly like it because /v/ is contrarian by nature.

>>324127601
That the "developed for PC only" is a big fat lie.
Nothing they did makes it less optimally playable on console, the only thing that is missing is dedicated controller support, and I bet it has that from launch as well.
It is still a console game, and lacks a lot of the complexity of the old games, but has tons of abstract boardgame mechanics to make it less shallow. hacking an alarm box or a mechtrooper somehow keeps the doomsday at bay?
You have to research how to put people into a plane until it has reached max capacity?
You can only put a trigger OR a scope on a gun but not both, unless the gun is made from better materials or more advanced?
Carry one one-use item only, unless you authorized your people to carry two?

This is still the same garbage they put into it to make it sell on console, which has major problems with inventory management of more than 4 things.
>>

Are you seriously suggesting they specifically pulled controller support from the preview builds?

UFO Defense depth aside, I only wish that they made the maps larger. I hated how small they were. They've already fixed in the sequel the way you had to trigger warn and spawn your enemies on the battlefield so I'm fine with that. I made peace with the changes in nuXCOM and enjoy it for what it is.

>>324131547
With the map system working the way it does, I have high hopes that it'll be fairly easy to mod in much larger maps. You'd more or less just have to glue four map templates together and let the RNG fill them out, right?

>>
>>324127601
Base invasions are almost definitely going to be a disappointment compared to original xcom. They'll probably just be a slightly expanded version of EU's one-off mission using an "XCOM" tileset for the procedural generation, rather than making it so that you have to consider the layout of your base from the standpoint of defending it.

>>
>>324132038
From what I've seen, base invasions take place outside your base and use whatever environment you landed on. Unless there's a potential second part that triggers if you do let enemies into the ramp.
>>
>>324131704
>>No Base Invasion like in the original

Base invasion in XCOM2 is non-scripted and can happen multiple times. The aliens will periodically send out a UFO and try to hunt you down.

Weren't the maps finally back to being randomized as in EU?

I think that's a copypasta from EU/EW
>>
>>324132181
The vast majority of maps in XCOM2 are procedurally randomized. EU and EW had mostly premade maps with, a few of them having a few bits and bobs randomized like the layout of rooms and whatnot.

I'd be surprised if there weren't at least a few totally premade maps.
>>
>>324132181
Maps in XCOM 2 are randomized, yeah. You have a variety of map templates with big holes in them and randomly selected prefab parts that fit into those holes.
>>
>>324132159
I'm disappointed it happens in the wilderness outside the base. I know the base being a ship makes it hard to have a mission actually occur inside it but still.
>>
>>324132857
There's still the question of what happens if you let aliens inside. It might be an instant game over, but it could also be something more interesting.

I'm already super disappointed that each class is locked to their own weapon. My favorite 2nd wave options were randomized skills and stats because you end up with more unique soldiers and losing them actually matters.
Sure customization is better this time around but it's going to be hard to care about losing a ranger when my others are nearly identical.

As to the random abilities, there is a facility that will let your soldiers gain random abilities from other classes at certain promotions.

You're not actually wearing that while commanding XCOM. It's part of the stasis unit the aliens put you in after capturing you when XCOM HQ fell. XCOM 2 starts with Bradford rescuing you from stasis.

It would be okay if managing each individual unit in EU had more depth, but not only do you have 6 units max but you also have less actions between the six of them than what you'd get with one X-com rookie

With all the stuff they have shown to be honest I'm scared it will all be really shallow. That they went really wide but didn't add any depth to it so most of the enemies will bee seen once like a slide show and never seen again because to keep "balance" there is only one big bad a map and they have to keep shuffling forward.

I'm also a little tense for the mods. With so much hype for them I'm expecting something like a "mod pass" where "You can download any 5 mods for just 1.99usd! To get updates for those mods or new ones just buy another Mod Pass!"

>>324136391
This is objectively false. X-Com's "depth" of actions boiled down to "what flavor of normal-ass shot do you wanna take?" as opposed to XCOM's unique abilities.
>>
>>324127601
"They've just made it hard for the sake of being hard."

That's what I reckon. So much stuff in previews has been about how many of your dudes die and you'll almost never get a full team home, how things have been shaken up so tactics from the first game don't work any more, and so on. So the old hard for the sake of hard criticism will probably come up.
>>
>>324139212
Honestly, it just looks like everyone in the preview videos are just shit.

Taking huge risks, with bad positioning, and still only losing 1-2 guys.
>>
>>324139212
I dunno man, most of the people who know what they're doing are more or less breaking the game in half on the highest difficulty.

Instant game over. Avenger Defense missions make it sound like they'd gain easy access to the power coils, and with the original codes they can lock it down permanently.

Considering you'll hear about Battleships being redirected to the area in order to bombard the shit out of the Avenger, it's a guaranteed insta-lose. I wish in some harder versions this shit is for real and you have an active countdown until battleships show up and maybe a few extra turns after that before the Avenger is out right blasted to pieces.

I really wish this game was as good as Enemy Unknown. Enemy Unknown with Enemy Within was probably my favorite mainstream strategy game of the decade.

But as OP's picture already says, it looks like XCOM 2 will be ruined to death with the forced feminism and "DIVERSITY" bullshit.

As if it wasn't enough that they changed the gender spawning rate of soldiers in Enemy Within from 66:33 (M:F) to 40:60 (M:F).

No, I'm saying the Rook->Squaddie skill in 2 is squad sight now.

And it was headshot in EU/W. I know it was a choice between "unlimited" range and scoot'n'shoot in the EU/W.

And honestly, the sketchy LoS has fucked me as much as helped me in EU/W that squad sight isn't a 100%...

That achievement shows a deep internalized misogynism, actually, because it implies that having a victorious all-female squad is something special whereas a victorious all-male squad is no big deal, or in other words, females are seen as inherently less competent.
>>
>>324142551
Okay, maybe it wasn't 40:60 but anyone who played EU and then played EW can confirm that there was a huge increase in the amount of female soldiers you get.

I did the starting mission alone about 100 times in EW alone, and there were always at least 2 female squad members, usually even 3. Maybe once in 10 restrats did I get 3 males 1 female.

In case you're wondering, I always restarted at least 10-20 times whenever I made a new run because I wanted to get the good nationalities (especially French, so I could set them to speak French, I love the French female and the French male voices in EW), instead of the shitty ones (African/South American trash - Spanish voices were absolutely unbearable to listen to). I know you can set the voices for any nationality to anything, but it just doesn't seem normal to hear a BR speak French.

You can't do that in EU/EW, you retard. Nationality and gender are impossible to change unless you play with some "mods" that typically "fix" a lot of other "balance issues".

It's not laughable at all either, it's natural for a great leader like me to want to lead fellow white people instead of stinky BRs.

Yeah, but the majority of people also send their soldiers to the meat grinder like it's no thing, even on piss easy difficulties (anything below Classic).

I remember every single person who died in all of my EW/EU playthroughs (all of them Ironman, most of them Classic, a few Impossible), since there were so few of them.

But now you're probably gonna get super buttblasted and defensive, just like the bad players always do. Just like Shin, the god of XCOM multiplayer, had to experience every single time he posted anything, back in the day.

Okay, how about this, how good is DD's customization?

I am honestly pretty stocked for Xcom 2's customization.

Personal note: I think they should create Marvel Ultimate Alliance's alliance thing. Like ability to create squads that have perks if all members of a certain squad are on the mission. And have like squad rep/xp that lets you enhance those perks. And of course, each squad can have its own logo and name, like Fox Hound.

>I'm not even sure what you're getting at here or how it's relevant.
That's again, because you were not a very good player. Since it's a lot harder to care about some nationalities than others, being forced to use said nationalities makes me more likely to risk their lives and that makes it inderictly harder to play on impossible.

In your language, the "deep seethed institutionalized racism" makes me play worse when I have soldiers with nationalities that I am unsympathetic to. When you're playing on Ironman Impossible and trying to get 0 losses, every little detail about everything matters.

It's just mathematics, really, same as in MOBA games like Dota 2. Playing with Peruvian/Russian players automatically makes me (and many others) worse because of the "unjustified racial prejudice" felt towards them and it makes us tilt, at least a little bit, even if we try our hardest not to. That's anyone would prefer to play not with Peruvians/Russians, if they could get equal skilled tolerable nationality teammates instead.

>>324144480

I've heard people talk that there's a higher ratio for you to get female soldiers than male in the game is that true? Why would they do that? At least in the sequel there's Gender Reassign Center where you can change it to whichever you like, so you're not stuck with someone you dislike.

Well /v/ gets pissed about anything honestly.

Of reboots and remakes I still think Xcom is one of the best. It maintains the concept of defending earth with plenty of 'humanity fuck yea'.

At least that's how I think reboots should be done. Because if I wanted to play the same game I'd be looking for remakes and spiritual successors.

It's why Xcom (2012) plays so different from something like Xenonauts because one is following a very specific design philosophy that is contradicted by elements present in the other.

I got so angry at XCOM that I got convinced the games percentages were fucked and started recording every event on paper.

I'm not a statistician, so I don't know how many data points I needed to be legit, but over three playthroughs, my numbers were pretty shit. The total of all chances between 75% and 85% hit about 68% of the time on average. All of the 25% shots I took landed about 12% of the time. It was illuminating. It also made me less angry because once I realized I was getting hosed, I just ticked the numbers down in my head, and adjusted play accordingly.

The interesting thing there is that his most pronounced spikes and dips occurred where mine did.

In particular I noticed his 40-45% range spiked high. In my own study, I noticed that my ~45% shots hit at about 55% of the time.

So he can say that the RNG is within the bounds of being correct all he wants, but if shots listed at 45% consistently hit at 55% in numerous studies, that should affect your playstyle. Much in the same way 25% shots hitting less than 20% of the time should.

>>
>>324147632

In short - it's not truly random. Your chance to hit / miss depends on your previous hits / misses.

The more you hit, the more you're likely to miss.

The more you miss, the moer you're likely to hit.

Perfect example:

You have two soldiers, one has a 90% chance to hit the alien, the other has 100%. Which one should go first?

Answer:

ALWAYS the 90% one. Because 100% is going to hit no matter what. But the fact that you hit still decreases the 90% guy's chance to hit.

This literally happened to me once, I got too cocky and took the 100% shot first and yep, the 90% guy missed as a result. Reload -> 90% guy shoots first, he hits.
>>
>>324147632
Just that computers can't actually generate truly random numbers, so what they do is run the system time through a complicated function or something.
>>
>>324147912
That has nothing to do with how the RNG works, it's just the streak breaker. And it can't make you miss when you should hit, it can only make you hit when you should miss.

>This literally happened to me once
>once
That means absolutely nothing.
>>
>>324147912
Welcome to XCOMs seed system. If you take a chain of shots, reload, and do it again, the results are unchanged. Switching up the order means the seed is a new one.

Also nice work on reloading on a 90% shot missing

Oh, wait, it does mean something, just not what you think. You ran into the fact that the seed for the pseudo-RNG is saved along with the game. Meaning that the first soldier to shoot rolled a high number and the second one rolled a low number.

>>324148170
Most of the people who played it didn't finish the story line. So firaxes went and made that canon.
>>
>>324147929
Not exactly the same thing. PseudoRNG is what I said above, literally every hit / miss makes you more likely to hit / miss.

Computers can't do truly random numbers, but they can at least make every random chance isolated from previous results.

>>324148074
Braindead retard.

Did you even read that fucking article? That's literally what pseudoRNG does in games.

Same goes for critical hits in Dota 2 in example. As a result, you can always exploit it by counting the times you didn't get a crit, meaning you have a much higher chance to crit next time.

Educate yourself.

>>324148265
And furthermore, to use the example of Dota 2 again since that is probably the best popular game that perfectly exemplified the difference between normal RNG and pseudoRNG in games.

Before some patch, there used to be a skill in Dota 2 that had a 17% chance to "stun" (or bash). Since it had unrestricted RNG, you would get games where someone gets bashed 7 times in a row.

After popular demand, they changed this skill to pseudoRNG. Now it's pretty much impossible to get 7 bashes in a row.

The whole point of pseudoRNG is to remove long streaks of proccing / not proccing by keeping track of the proc history.

>>324148540

I am ltierally telling you what the difference between pseudoRNG and computer generated RNG.

This is not an opinion thing. This is something that you can put into Google and it will blurt out the same stuff I told you right now.

Every time you proc, your chance to proc again gets lower.

Every time you don't proc, your chance to proc gets higher.

It feels balanced out by people not wasting their Overwatch on an already dead enemy. As a result, your Overwatch setups can take out entire pods or at least severely damage them if things go well.

Also depending on the mission reinforcements will appear. They're basically pods you know about far ahead of time, and a lot of videos show people wrecking the fuckers the moment they landed because they set up and prepared for it.

You're right that the other pods get to move, but I get the feeling between the random loot and the general gameplay improvements, the hide-and-overwatch aspect of it will feel at least more engaging even if it's the same old method you stuck to in EU/EW.

Now that you mention it, it should be relatively easy to mod in, yeah. Just rip the voices from Xcom1 and add them in; if it's impossible to add new slots then replace the existing ones with them. Hopefully it's possible.

>I am ltierally telling you what the difference between pseudoRNG and computer generated RNG.
No, dude. You're not. Here, let me show you:
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator
>A pseudorandom number generator (PRNG), also known as a deterministic random bit generator (DRBG),[1] is an algorithm for generating a sequence of numbers whose properties approximate the properties of sequences of random numbers. The PRNG-generated sequence is not truly random, because it is completely determined by a relatively small set of initial values, called the PRNG's seed (which may include truly random values).

That's what a pseudo-RNG is. Nothing in there about rolls affecting other rolls, which makes sense, because the pRNG doesn't even know whether the number it just generated led to a hit or a miss. You're describing something that the XCOM devs call a streak breaker and that's disabled on classic and impossible.
>>

>he doesn't understand that the article is saying the opposite of what he thinks

>>
>>324148894
That's alot harder then you think.
The xcom 2 guys will most likely say new things so you can't really rip the voices from Xcom 1. adding to them causes a huge disparity in quality, a great example of that is long war, all the voices they added in the mod sound amateuristic compared to the original voices.

The game itself natively supports up to 8 squad members (editing the .ini to add in more than 6 squaddies will have the screen expand to show two additional soldiers), and they added a scroll bar for modders to use when they inevitably increase the size even more rather than the arrow clicking of LW.

Now take a look at the world now. The nations and their people which followed us live excellent lives. They don't have to worry about anything, and they happily live luxurious lives. Crimes are non-existent, and there are no world tensions to worry about.

I'd like to see Mec Troopers and Gene Soldiers but again, it doesn't make sense because XCOM has extremely limited resources.
Besides we got Exo suits. That might as well be Mecs.
Suicide units is a terrible idea because the game tells you that your soldiers are not expandable anymore. Using them kill a few ayyyys isn't worth.

>It would be okay if managing each individual unit in EU had more depth, but not only do you have 6 units max but you also have less actions between the six of them than what you'd get with one X-com rookie
I know this is stale bait but I'm biting anyway

nostalgiafags literally think having time units are comparable with range of actions

with time units you can move any number of tiles (up to the max) individually, kneel, turn, and take aimed, snap, or auto-fire shots
but being able to separate each step of your move into its own discrete action doesn't add variety or tactical options when all you can do is stand in line of sight and fire anyway let alone when your tactics inevitably boil down to explosive overkill

having time units VS generalized 'moves' does not give you more actual options for what your inevitable action is
I'd rather have broader moves but more options than distinct moves but fewer options

Every good strategy game has loads of RNG. If it doesn't it's a casual cesspit. Prove me wrong. RNG is an edgy pre teen argument. RNG is actually associated with skill more than anything else. If you're shit at the game and can't get yourself out of a bad situation you won't beat the game.

Seriously the UI blew in the remake. It was probably the worst part of the game. All they needed to do was add more depth/improve the UI and make it a different theme. They did all of those.

Both games rely far too much on extremely boring RNG to resolve everything and have limited tactical depth, though Xcom:EU has some depth to it (not much, mind you) while DD goes full casino.

>>324156898
Essentially yes, but with the intention to make the game better for PC, not to make it worse for console.

Easiest example, shooter with no aim assist.
Unplayable on console, just right for PC.

Getting the idea?

EXALT. As in pity they are literally not a evil XCOM with their own Plasma Weapons, Archangel Armors and M.E.C.s.

Explosives are weaker midgame (and inside saucers) and while leveling houses and hoping something was inside is a valid tactic, a lot of the time there are no buildings to blow up so it's not like it's some game winner

Are a lategame item, and you've basically won the game once you stockpile enough of them

>>324176578
Can't say that I do. In your original message you quite clearly stated
>Nothing they did makes it less optimally playable on console,
which to me sounds very much like you're expecting them to deliberately go out of their way to cripple the console experience, which is a very different thing from optimizing for PC.

A better example would be the manner in which you can select your units to order them around. An interface optimized for PC's might have a list of some sort (with perhaps the soldiers' current status) where you can click to select the soldier you want to give orders to instead of using TAB or manually clicking on them in the field.

I can't speak for every store, but mine is actually pretty good. Most employees actually play videogames, and have pretty varied tastes. I gotta say out of about 13 people that work there, only one is actually that guy.

If an employee is ever a dick to you, it's because an employee learns that most customers are going to be idiots, assholes, or assholes pretending to be idiots. It wears on your patience, but there are honestly a lot of good transactions that can salvage an employee's faith in humanity.

The worst part is the manager, and as a result every employee beign dicked over constantly by corporate, which is disturbingly separate from the stores. It's a very numbers-oriented job, and if an employee isn't getting the right numbers - that corporate sets based on trends but not actual events, mind - they're written up or fired. So essentially employees have to do a salesman's job but not get paid commission. Employees that aren't behind the register suffer the most for this, because anything they sell, the employees behind the register take credit for, so it looks like floor employees aren't doing their job.

There's a lot more to say but /v/ isn't my personal blog.

>>324189738
The key is an open mind, and easily-ignored morals.

Sell whatever shit they're shoveling when you're in the store, and go back to not liking it when you're out.

Also obvious stuff about not everyone liking everything, some people having all kinds of tastes for vidya, good and bad. If you know a lot about vidya, you'll fit right in for the most part. Anything you don't know - shit about phones, Skylanders, etc - you'll pick up eventually.

It's a retail job like any other. Take it if you want a quick, low-paying job, but drop it as quick as you can if you get a job with more hours or better pay - you'll only work 4-8 hours per week on average, and they only pay minumum wage. DO NOT intend to make a career out of Gamestop.
