nobody?

Honestly I'm pretty excited for war of the chosen, hopefully it's harder than vanilla

>>388554792
From what I understood, it's Alien Hunters 2: Electric Boogaloo
But with hero units because fuck your soldiers and the Spark remains useless without mods

Why is it so expensive? It's the same price as the full game at launch.

Why was Enemy Unknown so much better than 2?

>>388558517
I think you mean Enemy Within and the answer is Mechs and transhuman soldiers

Plus Valen and Shen were better than their replacements

>>388558381
It's got so much content that they considered turning it into a whole new game. It's basically a super expansion.

A bit of an exaggeration, but the price seems decent-ish.

How do you guys feel about the new soldier classes being op as fuck? Can only have one of each at a time?

>>388558381
it has more content than the actual game

allegedly

>>388554792
Does it not release at midnight for yuros? I just want a fucking torrent.

I remember switching my Steam to a different region and using a VPN to play XCOM 2 early when it released.

>>388554792

>>388554792
>have to pay $40 to fix basic problems of the original game
Yeah no Thanks

>>388558743
Even before the expansion it was better. 2 is just trash. The plot and pacing are awful.
1 felt much more open.

>>388558381
xcom 2 was $60 bruh

>>388558381
because they can

>>388558381
>It's the same price as the full game at launch.
I am sure there is a difference between $40 and $50.

>>388558945
The game still has bugs that make playing on ironman an exercise in suicide.

>>388558517
More varied gameplay/missions. You had the standard 'turtlecreep your way into shenanigans' missions, but then you had a fair number of the 'ohshit bombtimer/civvies dying' missions which forced bold aggressive play. X2 featured 90% rush missions, stagnating the gameplay. If you include EW, meld canisters introduced optional bonuses for aggressive play without feeling forced, and genes/mechs were fun additions yet balanced.

Most likely. DRM makes modding a shit-show and the modding community appreciates not having to deal with that.

>>388558969

>>388558969

I feel like it has more varied location and the combat feels more rewarding and fun. I also think there are some places that are much harder than the original, but thats my opinion.

Does it not release at midnight in Europe?

>>388560467
you could do that in the original though. >>388560629
Shivs are in the game
>>388560547
I couldn't really tell you. I think it was the time limits to be honest. I felt a clutch during a lot of the levels that I didn't feel in 1.

>>388560636
What about mods? Do they improve the game dramatically enough to wait or is it not too big a deal? I can live with a few performance issues, my PC was aging anyway and couldn't keep up with a few newer releases.

>>388560903

i dont like the aesthetics of the second xcom compared to clean and serious xcom:EU style (but still, i like expanding on customization) and this expansion seems like it is going to introduce more wacky-looking troops.

>>388561021
Not really I guess. I haven't played vanilla 1 in a long time and mostly stick with long war.

>>388560903
Are they?
I know there's SPARKS, but SPARKS are way less fun than Mecs

>>388561080
I will when than actually make it playable.
>>388561348
SPARKs are basically shivs

>>388561080
did they make it less dependant on luck? because i tried it and failed quickly. looked at some Marzibor lets plays and he was destroyed after like... pfff... 30, 40 hours of playtime? at the end he was frustrated with bugs and too many dark events he couldnt have countered, because of lack of luck.

Pistols are...

>>388560991
Not a veteran of the series by any means, actually a newcomer to the whole genre.

I just bought it on PS4 and as the other poster mentioned it has quite the loading times, FPS issues mostly during cutscenes and rendered sequences around missions, while the missions themselves seem to run fine, really bad lip-sync in cutscenes and of course no mod support (although I have no idea how much the mods actually improve the game).

Add-on is probably going to come out late September on console. So far, I am having quite some fun nevertheless on PS4.

Haven't looked at the posts here yet but I am guessing it's lots of retards complaining about shit.

>>388558381

>>388558829

Their guns have significantly lowered damage, Grenadiers and Rangers are probably still better than the hero soldiers. Who cares if a Skirmisher gets a ton of actions when you have rapid firing talon round rangers who AWC in something like Serial.

so this fucks up the long war mods completely, right? or did they work together with them?

Not sure what it was about it, but I didn't enjoy LW2 that much. I like XCOM2's quality of life shit like better overwatch and the line of sight indicators, but I like the overworld and in-game pace of LW1 more.

One thing I definitely hate with LW2 was the flow of reinforcements, especially on shit like retaliations. If you don't play perfectly with the ideal squad you might as well be dead with the increasingly tough squads coming in every single turn.

>>388565728
The time in UTC+2 is currently 00:55, barely an hour from 02:00.

>>388566096

LW1 was too grindy for me and LW2 seems even grindier with even more micromanagement, so the grind itself is ridiculous. Pavonis tends to nerf everything fun so you generally end up sitting in a corner overwatching everything.

>>388563638
for bringing down sectopods with bluescreen rounds

Any good classmods? Or maybe a list of 'essential' mods?

>introduce alien defectors who join the cause
>only the Earth grown advent grunts

I can understand why they'd have more stake in the cause than the other alien forces, but more variety would still be neat.

>>388566758
kys snake fucker

>>388566357
I ended up INI modding out a bunch of the grindy shit, especially the air game, and that made it a lot more fun, muh pure proper experience aside.
Not sure if LW2 had that kind of flexibility put into it, but it felt more like they gave the player some decent buffs, and then roided the shit out of every single enemy in the game while throwing more at you.

>>388563638
Probably the best change they did with Pistols since Gunslinger is literally better then the sniper subclass. Faceoff lighting hands, and the other perks make it broken as hell, especially if you get shredder rounds

>>388566758

Jake Solomon is not a fan of aliens as playable. He has talked a fair bit about it.

>>388566981

Yeah you can edit LW2 a ton, and I like some aspects, ultimately I like the vanilla game a lot too. For me it's a case of other small mods improve my experience to Vanilla much more than small edits to LW2 would make me enjoy it.

>>388554792
So is this more turn limited, aliens bombing their own shit every mission or not?

>>388559509
it bumps up the difficulty to bullshit only non-newcomers could actaully think through
so don't do the expansion as your first playthrough

>>388578687
Yes, mission timers were halved so you have to run even faster but to help balance it the aliens bomb their own units more.

Since they aren't going to make any fixes to the original game I'm not going to spend money on the expansion, especially when a lot of fuck-ups have been a problem since the game originally released.
But I've never pirated an expansion before. Will it work if I put my steam download in a different folder or do I need to go pirate the original game and all the DLC from somewhere else first?

>>388579372
dunno lol poorfags

>>388579372
Tomorrow someone will probably put out a full release. Probably the base game + all the DLC. That'll probably work the best.

>>388579372
why are you saying you'd buy the expansion if the base game was patched, which would be completely irrelevant in the first place once you can play the xpack?

It was an amazing conception.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE GREEN MAN GAMING CODES?

I hated the first firaxis xcom because it felt like doing anything but being constantly in overwatch was a liability so being slow and methodical as fuck as always the correct strategy. Is the new game any better about that? Turn limits seem like a step in the right direction.

>>388583921
XCOM 2 really encourages aggressive play

>>388583921
Yeah, I think turn limits are okay for the most part. You play more aggressively which can end up with you getting into some sticky situations that are fun to fight your way out of. The good missions are only half timed anyway where you need a character to get to the objective or blow up a radio dish or something and then you have all the time in the world to sit and fight dudes.
But there are some mission types that are just awful ideas that got ruined further from having turn limits. Like in the first game the escourt missions were really important, heavily scripted adventures but now in 2 you have 8 turns to get a VIP to run his ass all the way across a randomly generated city and it's just the worst thing in the entire world depending on your RNG with building layouts and enemy spawns.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DEAL WITH LAZY FOREIGN BUSINESSES LIKE GAMERSGATE AND GREENMAN GAMING

JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE SAVE ME FROM SHITTY UN-AMERICAN SWINE

>>388584128
This.
Turn limit forces you to play like the Guerilla rebel that you are.

>>388585605
It's why the game is so shit. It's much better when you turn off the turn limit and play like a real squad.

>>388584128
no it doesnt "encourage" it railroads you and fails you if you dont, with timers

>>388586408
There's nothing bad with being railroaded into aggressive play, more SRPGs should punish safe turtling like XCOM2 does.

fuck it i'm hype

>>388558969
Disagree
Strongly Disagree

>>388584128
It's more akin putting a flamethrower up your ass, so you are forced to run to not get your ass burned. I wish the timers weren't there to force you to move your ass, and instead gave an incentive for a reward like Meld in EW.

>>388586756
The reward is not having people die, anon.

>>388586512
no they dont
and this game is nonstop monster closets
its anti-tactic
and doesnt reward strategy
it b-lines you through everything and majority of the game design is so completely flawed like monsters getting turns

>>388587271
>no they dont
Spoken like a true shitter. Go spam overwatch for 50 turns in some trash games like X-COM, LMAO.

40 minutes

>mfw cleared X-Com 2 without ever running out of the turn-limit
>Second Wave options allow you to double the turn-limit in WotC

>there's almost zero hype
hmm

>>388559707
Mods fix this one at least. Between a couple of those and LW2 it's definitely on par with EW

>>388589860
What'd you expect?

It's a blatant cash grab and there's barely anything new. It's just a fucking reskin. A $40 reskin.

>>388590142
STOP FUCKING LYING

>>388560991
If you actually like the game enough to have a second playthrough you'll definitely want mods, LW2 specifically practically makes it an entirely new game, and improves a lot of stuff from the base game. If it's something you'd do one ö of and be done with though it doesn't really matter.

>>388590142
I heard about the new soldiers and aliens. But I don't know what makes so many people call it "more of a new game than an expansion".

I don't know if I want to play XCOM 2 again.

I'm getting some vietnam flashbacks of that final mission. I don't know why they cranked up the difficulty and dependence on luck in that game.
