It mostly just adds stuff that makes the game easier.

I get wiped every single time I encounter the Chosen cunt in a random mission.

>>388727813
It's basically an entire separate package. They rewrote large portions of the originals game code to accommodate the expansions features, so from a code point of view it's somewhere between a stand alone version of xcom 2 and a dlc/add on to the base game

>>388727347
No, it's definitely a new addition. I don't think the Resistance guys show up during every Terror Mission since I've had the old version and new version happen.

/v/ is gonna love the shit out of Rabbids, though. It's reasonably fun and is babby's first X-Com

It's like every game I've enjoyed this year just gets blacklisted by media.

xcom 2 gets ignored on because it was bad.

>>388728451
It really feels like it's own game. Hell, even most of the story and main missions have have been tweaked to be harder. On the first blacksite mission where you get the vial of goo, the female chosen shows up to Fuck your day up. However the map is way to fucking cluttered now and looks even worse than before.

>>388729095
what are you doing to best girl

>>388729095
Chosen are actually easier to deal with than Rulers.
Plus, with the new hero units and the ability to actually give your units every skill in their skill tree + a bonus one, you basically can steamroll midgame if you play your cards right.
Early game is now handed to you, with research inspirations and breakthroughs.

Doesn't happen. It's either one or the other on a mission and the Rulers are now initially assigned to guard facilities and don't start showing up on missions until you first engage them there.

They had two good established characters already and they binned them for a couple of stock characters.

Overwatches have a massive aim creep (x0.6 if the ayy's blue moving, x0.7 if they're sprinting + defense / dodge), they're not reliable and should be used sparingly or by soldiers with overwatch perks.

Overwatch was too reliable in XCOM so it got nerfed quite hard in XCOM 2.

Which is good because it should only be used sparingly when you are at a good advantage. A free shot in possibly if the enemy has to close in on you.

The superior option usually is to seek higher ground focus on one direction at a time, and flank. Good god flanking helps so much in this game.

You cant turtle in XCOM 2. You need to take risks and be on the move. Only play safe when you can afford to.

I just had a mission right, where I had to rescue a guy. I left one sniper behind to make sure the other two got away.

Then I made a mad dash to the extraction point and the lucky sniper bastard STILL escaped with minor injuries, despite beimg surrounded by like 8 units focusing solely on him.

>>388735454
They did fix it, Overwatch is no longer an immediate "I win" button. You have to actually play and not cheese everything with Overwatch anymore.

Wotc makes the game a lot more customizable through resistance orders/covert actions. Butthurt about mission time limits? Use an order to extend time limits.
Can't progress fast enough to beat the Advent calendar? Use covert actions to knock down the timer.

Xcom2 > xcom ew
The turn timers were necessary since xcom ew overwatch crawl was incredibly cheesy. They aren't unfair, and they place more stress on the player, which results in more satisfying victories.

Dont want to make Overwatch useless though. As it is its fine honestly.
Timers are quite generous in missions. Usually you can get away with wasting one or two turns, at least early on in a campaign. And theres loads of ways to extend the timer in the mission too.

New units types and enemies have ways that give you time back if you play smart. Turn them against each other if you can and you can dash off.

The exact reason I'm pirating it. I'd have happily paid 20$, but there's no reason to charge that much. I paid for the base game + the DLC up to now, but I'm not shelling out that much again.

As much as I loved XCOM2 there's no way in hell I'll pay 45€ for a fucking DLC. They lost me at this price for good. I'll get it in 5 years, when it's 5€ during winter sale or something, I have zero desire to play it anytime soon

Just gonna wait for Xenonauts 2

It's not all that great. They didn't give any of those performance or bug fixes to people who didn't buy the dlc and very few people seem to be upset that they're essentially making people pay for a patch. This is setting a very bad precedent, mark my words.

Is this game any good if I'm an RTS brainlet who can't into the Total War series?

>>388747472
X-Com 2 base got a ton of bugfixes for free, the expansion has QoL improvements and a format change that improves load times

>they're setting a bad precedent
By releasing the first actual expansion pack in decades? Fuck yourself.

>>388747503

>>388747503
you just position your guys so that they can flank the enemy without getting flanked themselves

>>388747682
>the first actual expansion pack in decades

and that's ignoring MMOs

>>388747503
Depends, if total war is boring for you because of the pace, a turn based strategy might not thrill you.

>>388747503
this is a simpler game in terms of strategy, I think. So maybe

you could try out the first XCom: EU (since it's cheaper) and see for yourself whether you like it or nat

>>388747059
To be fair RNGesus was on my side that time and I cut through their path so that I only had to deal with the basic units and one leader and I was in half cover. Most of the enemies were basic advent who cant aim for shit without a leader marking them. But on the outside of the map closing in were stun guys and a psionic advent officer.

If the red leader didnt take a potshot at the sniper and had marked him instead that guy would have been toast but he thought he could kill my guy in one shot so he took it. (He really could, said sniper had only three health left)

>>388747789
That's nice to hear.
I figured the decreased loading times are partly due to simpler level design but it might be more that that.

>Map is crawling with enemies, mostly basic mooks in the middle, but they have an upgraded version that usually is more accurate but can also choose to mark you so that it's much easier for any other mook to hit the marked unit.
>Other reinforcements are higher level enemies that could instakill the sniper on the outskirts of the map
>Cut through the middle through the bulk of the mooks and hide in half cover
>The basic mooks take their shots and miss
>leader mook decides to take a shot too and misses
>Sniper bolts to the extraction point having cheated death about 6 times in a row.

>I live in a quaint middle class lifestyle and have never worked a day in my life. Oh, why does no one understand meeee!

Nah, but only against zombie enemies. Most of the time you have to fight both aliens and lost, so it becomes a game about management. Baiting lost into attacking aliens is tricky, but doable. The ultrasonic lure is great, but aliens can easily move out of it unless you flashbang them. What's funny is the sectoid's weakness to melee applies to lost attacks, so if you can get even one to attack, that's half its health gone instantly.

>pay 40 dollars for this expansion to a 60 dollar game!
or i could spend 0 dollars and download x-com from an abandonware site, another 0 dollars for openxcom, and yet another 0 dollars to download any of the huge total conversions for it like XPiratez or XCOM Files or even FMP.

I'll buy this when its bundled with all the other DLC for $20 in a few years. It's really not worth $100.

It's ok. Nothing impressive.

The chosen enemies are huge letdowns. They're not threatening at all since they don't even kill your troops. They should've just designed more normal enemies that kill your troops.

The new classes are pretty cool though.

there's a few solo patrols, but traditional pods are still around

New player here

I'm absolutely torn because I don't know how to spec my guys. I've never been good at this kind of thing. I always end up picking stuff that seems like it would be good, but then it turns out that, oh the numbers don't scale well or the types of missions later don't really allow it to be useful or whatever

Fuck my indecisiveness

>>388754939
You can retrain them so have fun.

I won't pay for bug fixes. I'll get it when it's in a humble bundle 3 months from now, just like enemy within.

>>388754939
You have to adapt your troop development to the type of enemies that show up.

If say, mech units start showing up, skill up a grenadier's shredding skills, or get your drone guy's hacking skill up.

Make sure to excavate and keep your scientist and engineer numbers up. Get the combat school up and running so you can train up rookies outside of combat or now go send rookies on easy missions to rank up.

>>388755234
Also you can restat them to suit your needs too.

>45$ DLC
Is this the age of the kikes? Is 10 dollar DLC not enough anymore? We need to crank it up to a thousand?

>>388754410
Not really. Your soldiers out scale them way too fast. If it's better than anything else you can put in that slot, you're either behind on research and/or your soldiers are dying in droves.

>tfw on a 1600 calorie diet

I'm so hungry you guys.

>>388755635
Because it's not DLC, it's an xpac.

>>388755851
I just like having it around...
I usually run - Grand, Psi, Ranger, Spec(heal) & sniper (left tree)
and I fill in the last slot with SPARK
What do you suggest? spec robotics?

>>388726821
>Lost ignore 2 pods to run across the entire field to surround my soldier
>Advent headshot one then focus fire on me
>Le 70% more likely to target you zombie bullshit
I'm normally against mods this early, but fuck you Xcom devs. Don't pull this horse-shit where the Lost flat out don't play by their own rules.
Didn't matter anyway because Between the eyes with a sniper makes the lost non-threats.

>left tree sniper
why would you ever

>45 Dollars for a DLC
I fucking bought the first one with the expansion and all DLC for 10 dollars, maybe I'll buy it next year when they sell the entire pack for less than 20.

>>388756887
I leave it on a roof like 200miles from the squad
and get at least 3 - 4 kills with him every match ez pz
Why the fuck would you want a close range sniper? you have a shotgun for that

>>388757025
>He doesn't use special ammo to pistol the fuck out of everything

>>388756887

Because Death From Above makes the Chosen sniper rifle give free Serial.

>>388757025
to kill Sectopods with one person

>>388757148
What special ammo do you use?
also why pistol? you can do the same with machine gun or shotgun
also who are you quoting?

>>388756948
I'm pretty sure Enemy Within launched at $40, and it's still $30 without a sale

>>388757309
Because with bluescreen rounds you get the damage bonus per bullet. You do far far faaaaaaaaaar more damage to mechs than any other class and with triple shot, free pistol shots and lightning hands you can blow something the fuck out before its even realized whats happening.

ranged snipers are fine, but they are far more useful with pistol skills and longwatch.

>>388726821
isn't an expansion pak NOT fucking dlc?

dlc is always shit and bad in this day and age.
does anyone on this site REMEMBER what it was like to buy an Xpak and be satisfied?

>>388757309
Dragon Rounds to spread burning to 5 different enemies with one person
Bluescreen Rounds to kill Sectopods with one person

Gunslingers are REALLY GOOD

>>388757505
>>388757583
Alright, thanks for the info guys I'll try it out
