Xcom

need nude snek mod

>>387631790
I really want to start playing 2 again, and actually manage to beat it given I have a decent amoutn of free time before classes start back up.

However, I just saw that there is a fucking expansion coming out and now I feel like I'm playing half of a game. What do with this

>>387631790
>What do you think of the xcom series?
Never played it. Tempted to start up XCOM: EU today as my first.
I'm a little worried about the BS hit chances though. "Tactics" games where you'll miss 99% chance-to-hit shots more than 1% of the time irk me.

I prefer LW1 so that means XCOM1 I guess. XCOM2 took a weird turn in its design.

It's a solidly designed game that managed to take what is essentially a vidya dinosaur and prove that old concepts and philosophies can thrive in the industry today.

That said, I do NOT care for it. There's just something about the gameplay that keeps me away from it.

Yea i feel you, didnt even know yet thats nice so its basically a dlc ?

>>387632118
Yea thats true that seem kinda bullshit a lot of time, thats really annoying or when you stand directly infront of an enemy and dont have a 100% hit chance

>>387632191
I didnt really feel the design on missions changed a lot

>>387631790
This DLC better suck my dick and make me a bacon sandwich for the price the devs are charging.

In xcom2 the majority of missions were timed, which was the worst type of xcom1 missions. I didnt like the shift in alien design (from ugly monsters to neat cartoons) nor the shift in the overall feel of the story (humanity last defenders to underground ISIS wannabes).

>>387632430
Yea thats true
Not sure if i would have played it if it werent also the scifi setting tho

>>387632919
You make some good points actually and the story in the first was a lot better
Also always the same advent units in xcom 2 are kinda boring
But i kinda like the gameplay in the second better und i think they worked out some nice ideas

I played the first one reluctantly, completely ready to hate it because it was a modern console remake of a classic I loved to death.

It turned out to be pretty good, especially with the expansion. I only really loved it after playing Long War.

Playing Xcom 2 at the moment and its good too. Eager to try LW2.

LW2 has a lot of issues that I don't know if have been patched yet. It's pretty good until you get these massive, RNG-based spikes in avatar project progress that can make you just insta-lose the game just through pure chance. I think they might have fixed that in later builds, but it was very annoying at first.

X-com 1994

I once saw a old dude play that game on the train when i was a kid looked pretty cool

>>387633867
I think the art was ok it was just kinda boring honestly

Thats true. XCOM 1 was unbalanced mess. But as a LW fan, I was very disappointed with XCOM2. The devs were constantly talking about how they learned from LW, but there still were only 4 classes, only 2 perk choices and only 6 soldiers. The balance went in a good directory.

>>387634867
Yea 3 perk choices would have been really awesome also i felt it was over really quick id have prefered more time between the missions but an longer overall game

My man, nu-com is such shit.

>>387632118

Thats why I shamelessly savescum. To bypass the RNG bullshit that happens sometimes.

I prefer the orginals because i'm not a filthy casual

This aggravated me so much. We're supposed to be some outnumbered underdog terrorist force scrambling to complete these super-important objectives, but if I just complete them and extract it's treated as a total failure.

Faggot, you should only savescum when the game bugs out.

I thought the campaign in XCOM2 was expertly paced—there was always a sense of urgency without overwhelming the fun you were having. But LW2 with ini edits is where it's at (vanilla LW2 is way too stressful to be comfy).

>got the new expansion for 10 dollars due to pricing error
>still dont own xcom 2
hope it gets discounted before it releases lol

Get the EU aim rolls mod.

Vanilla aim rolls are fucked and pretty much guarantee crits for low aim rolls.
And since ADVENT spams low aim roll shots, they will eventually hit, and they will likely crit.

IMO I found XCOM2 easier than XCOM1.

Maybe they made the RNG less bullshit in 2 to counterbalanced all the timed missions and overall more pressing map navigation.

The soldier customization from 2 is nice but I don't know I always felt like I was more attached to my soldiers in 1.

>>387639115
If you actually savescum because you encountered the rounding error hit chance I would forgive you. But we both know yo uare savescumming because bunch of 70% missed.

Much prefer the theme in 1 to the generic resistance bullshit in 2 . Music and gameplay were also much better (Not saying EU didn't have issues that needed fixed).

I like all the options XCOM 2 has available, and the QoL stuff going on like the smarter overwatch shots, the ability to see LoS, and all the nice mods available.
But after playing both LW1 and LW2, I ended up going back to LW1. It feels more balanced, while LW2 has tons of options and unit power at the cost of everything being power creeped as fuck. Either you blow the enemy squad up in 1 turn with your cooldowns or you die from the ridiculous alien abilities.
