So, what features besides MECs did Firaxis cut out to sell again in expansions?

>>323268481
Half the enemy variety.

>>323267772

EU didn't really change the story at all. Just added new gameplay elements that expanded how you could do the missions.

That said, the "lore" is that you lose the first game. During an EU-specific mission where the aliens attack your base, the commander (you) was captured and Humanity quickly fell after that.

So have they shown all the enemy types already? I think ethereals are the only ones being kept secret. That and probably more variations like muton elites.

What's the shiney gold girl that shows up in the new youtuber previews?

She looks like some super villain.

>>323267706
is that the new Sectopod?

>>323269106

I don't think so. I we haven't seen the andromedian and floaters in gameplay. Mutons are back but there hasn't been anything new on that either.

We haven't seen commander units besides the advent guy, either. I refuse to believe there is only one kind of viper or sectoid.

Kinda of. There are things like damage reduction and they've claimed in streams that shots use a new formula but their biggest boasting point is that now you enter missions in a stealth mode and can spring ambushes. and overwatch has been changed to be more effective and to distribute targets.

They're a branch of the invading aiens. In EU they appeared only as the Thinmen from gene altering but still had the weird Agility, high aim, and poison spit. In UFO defense they were supposed to be full of eggs, I don't know if it will be the same in 2.

Now it's they appear in their true form, although I'm sure that key speaker guy is a thinman.

Yes, Mutons and Floaters live up to their low intelligence by being retarded as fuck. Floaters will charge blindly into the middle of your squad and beg for death, they'll piss themselves in fear if a single rookie with a ballistic pistol overwatches, Mutons regularly grenade themselves.

>>323270804
so is it confirmed that the xcom2 commander is the psychic volunteer x1?

I wonder if they'll have some soldier-altering system like the ones in Enemy Within. Knowing Firaxis, probably not, but I can only hope. Would be great to give a character a cybernetic arm or something.

>>323270953

Or stuck him in a tube for twenty years. Maybe he's an alien with a human skeleton like the pectoid.

I always thought xcom rescued him because he is good at the admin thing.

Why don't the ayy lmaos just ask humans for experimentation? They don't need to do all the abductions.

If they're truly a more intelligent species, they wouldn't waste effort and resources trying to fight when they could just convince the lesser races.

Heck, they could invent a religion, make themselves as gods and they'd get lots of people as followers and willing subjects of experimentation.

>>323272157

I'm 99% certain that if there is any other intelligent life in the universe, they have very similar problems to us in that regard (factions fighting over things like philosophy and religion, how to work with aliens, etc)

I doubt our contact with intelligent life is gonna be like star trek, where there is some entity that can speak for the entirety of a species and they have no issues with dissenters. Unless they have already reached a singularity, in which case their purpose for seeking us out is probably to invite us to it.

Of course you can. One human (the player or a new factions charismatic leader) finds out the long term truth of everything and begins spreading the information while fighting to win back human minds and leverage the ayyy's technology against them.

Initially you're labeled an extremist terrorist, then as the game goes on a freedom fighter and hero of humanity as people are convinced of the truth.

Endgame depending on how well you performed you kick the ayys of your planet and keep the technology, laying the ground work for a xenophobic and militaristic humanity guns aimed at the rest of the galaxy, or any number of milder endings, and of course your bad ends which may take many forms.

Well, they have Mind Spin, which can mind control you if you have low will stat, but can just disorient you or cause panic. So it's pretty freaking bad either way. Funny enough that Mind Control is the least threatening, as you can either just Flashbang or kill the Sectoid to get your soldier back no worse for wear.

None of that really matters as long as you're given the tools to deal with it.

The problem with vanilla EU is that the game is balls to the walls hard at the start but almost everything becomes trivial as soon as you have good equipment and soldiers.

I'm hoping more than anything that with 2 they make the second half more varied, or at least that mod support will manage to do it without going too far like Long War.

Pretty much that.

>>323276049
They probably tried to. Or maybe the ehtereals gave up on that and just tried to focus on making them roughly human so you couldn't tell if you were looking at them from far away.

Their plasma weapons are also a bit big to be hiding in that coat.

why are you people pretending to be me?
i posted these because I couldn't give two fucks about anybody or anything on this planet. And the reason for that is I find everybody's intellectual intelligence far less superior than our alien overlords. So I couldn't give two fucks about what happens to anybody or anything on this planet. In all honesty, if something does happen to all of humanity, I won't care either. I don't care if anything bad, or if anything good happens to humanity. I'll praise humanity, yeah, but I'm not gonna care. I may emphasize that I do, but I really won't. So here's a word of advice. you can comment on this and say whatever you want. I won't care, and nor will I comment back. Just know this. If the alien invasion happens, and I hate you all, if you all become xcom soldiers don't think I will not hesitate to kill you. Because as soon as I kill you while you're xcom, I will take your to aliens and sell your body to them. I will not care. I actually look forward to an alien invasion myself. A lot of people do. In fact, if an alien invasion happens, one of two things I'm doing is either A. going around and having sex with snake waifus, possibly making a harem B.killing Xcom soldiers, I won't care. But, I will definitely be killing people who are already in Xcom, trying to kill aliens. I will not care. I will not hesitate. You will die over and over again. I will make sure of that myself. Xcom is actually my forte. I have an arsenal of weapons down in my room. alien invasion, I welcome you. Gives me the reason to do the perfect murder. Kill somebody who isn't xcom, and say that they were xcom. They'll believe it too. I don't care about any of you, just putting that out there right now. It may look like I do, I honestly don't. I don't care.

There are so many things in this game which are just casual bullshit.

Where do you think you are?

>>323283462
is this xcom2?

I now feel like i should not even bother...

>>323276358
This is way too scripted and cinematic for my tastes.
I don't know how to feel about this.

>>323269867
What's with the 'boosst'?

>>323283863
Its Long War you ding dong

>>323283863
No. That's the Long War mod for XCOM 1.

Is the digital deluxe version worth it?

>>323283853
This is the only good western game ever made, fuck off to your containment threads.

>>323283863
No, and the fact you didn't get that means i agree with you. Why are you here?

>implying i'm going to buy this bullshit if I can't have defected Snek waifus who've fallen in love with humans as squad units

>>323283873

Why don't you watch actual gameplay then? Seeing as there's shitloads of it available now

>>323283880
It's one S greater than a boost.

>>323283937
If this is the only thread for you to talk about western games, then you are the one in containment.

>>323283960

Waifufags your day of the rope is coming

>>323283853

I'm in a thread about a western game which is infinitely more enjoyable than any garbage JRPG or pokeshit the weebs enjoy. Go play with your action figures and contribute in a loli thread somewhere else?

Just remember that Snakes are pure evil, commander.

>>323283863
how fucking stupid are you?

Is anyone else surprised by the amount of hype surrounding this game?

>friendly reminder that Chrysalids no longer make zombies, instead they make a cocon out of their pray, which erupts into 3 other Chrysalids.

No. It looks good and Firaxis have a good enough record.

>>323283985
I assumed it meant the cannon storyline was that the playing character or the Bradford equivalent is actually snake in disguise. I might be wrong though.

>>323284121
Yes. To see a game in this day and age which has RNG permadeath garnish a fanbase outside of Asia is absurd and reinforces my theory that people only lie to themselves when they opt out for casual games.

>>323274030
The faceless also can move and attack at the same time they activate.

>>323284246
And they have an AoE melee attack that destroys cover.
Then again, they can't dash and attack like the Stun Lancer can.

3/10 on release

>>323284121
No, the hype merely matches the excitement I already felt for it. The first one was my favourite game of 2012 and it always bummed me out that it never seemed to get talked about on here

Have new Chrissies been shown yet?

An anon brought up in a past thread the possibility of missions where human civilians attack you and you need to use non-lethal means to defend yourselves. That's a damn solid idea and I hope we see something like it.

Dude why bother? The cops in america will gun you down for talking back to them.

>>323274030
sounds great

>>323284449
They had to edit the Japanese version of these missions. Instead it turns into a turn based strategy visual novel dating simulator with hidden snek waifus.

>>323284449
I like it but it ain't happening, there hasn't even been a hint of non-lethal interaction

I haven't seen any video footage yet, but they did show images and explain mechanics. Implantation now works via the poison effect their attacks cause, meaning that if a 'Lid attacks one of your soldiers and that soldier is then shot dead by a Viper, they will still turn. An implanted person doesn't turn into a zombie, but into an immobile cocoon, which will burst into three 'Lids if not destroyed. They can also burrow into the ground, but have less health.

>>323284121

nigga EU/EW were probably my goty 2012/13, and sequel looks solid

still I'm not blind to some flaws like shittier music

>>323284538
>what are roguelikes? The most popular genre being slapped onto everything since the fps?

Certainly not permadeath, anon. I hope you're not implying the boom of rogue-likes even remotely includes something like permadeath.

>>323284640
I guess I'll hold out for clever user made mods then. With the arc thrower being a thing in the past, I'm willing to bet someone will make a crowd control mod.
