Hmmm....

Looks like the Ethereal are going to go in seriously this time. The Symbol looks like an Ethereal and the face seems to have a similar structure. Granted with such a long break from XCOM2 compared to between EW and EU, I hope it's an expansion that continues after the last mission.

>>379492109
Did people really think XCOM2 was part of Humble Monthly just for laughs? They were setting up for an expansion.

>>379492109
Yay more timed missions

Long War 2 is fucking HARD ;_;

>>379492479

Wasn't that a long ass time ago though? Doubt they had inside info of an expansion.

I like the ruler and spark DLC.

>>379493018
What was so bad about Long War 2? I haven't played it yet

Cautiously excited, at least there'll be something worth watching during E3

>>379493059
Timers and people mad they can't grenade everything to victory

>>379493059

Stat inflation, turning concealment into full stealth gameplay, and unexplained strategic map mechanics that can cause you to lose campaigns without really knowing why.

>>379493059

I just found it tedious, i get that they want to extend early to mid game but to me it was just a clusterfuck of ideas. Some individual mods are ok to add to the campaign but the full long war 2 was really not to my liking.

Please let it be terror from the deep. I bet they've already made female lobster model.

>>379492109
After playing Long War 2 I have absolutely no faith that even the devs themselves could fix XCOM 2

What's it gonna be lads?
Terror from the Deep time?

>>379495021
>in its current stage.

But isn't it still in a relatively early stage? And they said alien forms will change throughout the game, so it could just be they're trying not to spoil everything in the footage they've shown.

>>379495161
Well Bradford said they could go to one of the colonizes to conquer it right? If so then it might not be bad playing the invaders this time, provided that you already have every tech from vanilla XCOM 2. It sucks so much that at the start of XCOM 2 you don't even get to use laser weaponry.

if it's invading the ethereal homeworld I'll cum in my pants

>>379495260
>But isn't it still in a relatively early stage?

So they just copied Firaxis' XCOM for the early stage and are going to completely rewrite it later? C'mon.

>>379495161
It's probably going to be a follow up on that crack from the end of the game.

>>379495582
Terror from the deep then

>>379495508
You know that's not what I meant. They're taking cues from the modern XComs but they could still end up fixing and refining the issues people had with the games. If it turns out to be shit when it gets released then bash away, but I'm remaining optimistic until then.

Daily Reminder that not only is Beatle a fuck but Timed missions was the best thing that could have happened and was thematic to the games setting

Are they doing away with the shitty timers and the scooby doo feel of the game instead of a true invasion opposing feel?

>>379496343

Console versions don't have mods, so no.

I can't be sure tho

Now that the campaign is over, can we all agree that balancing around Overwatch cheese is easier and ultimately more fun than stealth and timers?

Don't get me wrong though overwatch is great, especially when it activates repeatedly from the same person, but nothing gets the job done better than a plasma grenade to the face or a missile to a huge group of enemies.

How do i get good at this game?
This is a lot harder compared to the first one

>>379496629
I only watch Beagle for like a month after X2 released, did he get in a relationship or something?

>>379496769

I think all is fixed with True Concealment. I tried out a campaign with the mod and it was really neat and different.

>>379497149
This game is way more easier than the first. Don't let the timer fool you.

thats not true though. there are supply raid missions which allow you to take all the time you want to rack up corpses and maximize your Sniper, the satellite disruption and advent assault missions are also not timed (although the first starts dropping reinforcements every turn after a certain point)

several of the timed missions can be completed with 2 shinobis and a specialist using minimal loadouts and SMGs to sprint around in concealment

>>379502862

Not anymore. They also expanded the time limits with longer timers based on map size

I never understood XCOM 2's campaign. So the aliens were setting up gene clinics as a front for human slaughterhouses, right. But how could the population be so oblivious to that? Apparently millions were missing, you can't vanish that many people from earth without everyone freaking out. Sure you could argue that the guerilla forces were the ones who didn't trust them, but then there should be way more people fighting. It makes no sense.

>>379504963
I think the idea was that they were doing it fairly slowly. They had time to fully dominate all aspects of the planet and its people, and a few missing here and there wouldn't be cause for much concern. They didn't kick avatar into high gear and start mass abductions until threatened by your progress, at which point they start culling anyone deemed non-essential and start doing it so fast that there's not much time to react. Anyone who stood up as a citizen would probably just immediately be thrown into the meatgrinder as well.

>>379504963
>But how could the population be so oblivious to that? Apparently millions were missing

Information suppression and propaganda. It makes sense considering you see literal Ethereal worship in-game with converted churches. It's brainwashing that's been going on for a generation.

The unbelievable thing about XCOM 2's story is why they need to put people in the goo machines to get genetic information.
