UFO Defense > EU/2

did you forget about sending rookies to de just so that you could leave spawn in the original
the new xcom isnt simpe ,its focused and not tedious
the 2 actions system prevents you from staying in one place and being a pussy
mission variety is shit in xcom1 but improved in xcom2 and war of the blue shitolrds
put down your nostalgia galasses

so i only have experience with some turn based tactical rpgs, but not with xcom style games

am i getting it right that every single move is turn based?

I played Enemy Unknown before UFO defense

>>388975329
thats how turn based games work yes
in xcom turns are weird sometimes tho
for an instance if you spot a group of enemies they instantly get an action to move to cover
and also there is overwatch
im talking about 1st "remake" btw

>>388975249
>sending rookies to die
That was the best part

>>388974253
>complains about overwatch even in an Xcom thread

I'm done with this shit bros, fuck you all

>>388975249
hes right you know

32-bit Microprose X-Com was a pretty amazing game. It's really hard to argue that they could do better without straight up copying it. I think Firaxis's XCOM was a great game too, but I also think that the bases and base building feel severely dumbed down. Same with interrogations, and how they are WAY better in the old game for gaining intel (like seriously you'll get -for 1 soldier- weapon plans, random facts, and corpse info. or -for 1 captain- 1 technology plan, an enemy base location, and random facts, plus corpse info (if you don't already have it)). Medics are about the worst thing to capture, since they don't give you but 2 random facts and an additional corpse info.

Okay, this is a non vg xcom thread, just how good is openxcom and are the heavy guns able to be wielded by everyone? Because my dream of a gatling gun team mowing down ayys for months on end cant realisticaly be done in normal xcom games.

The new xcom doesent even have an a.i.
they just patrol routes and then hide behind cover. Forget about any sneaky tactic too, they can see thorough walls.

download x-piratez

>>388979858
OpenXcom is pretty much the best thing that has happened to the franchise since the original release.

You can equip everyone with everything, however with the heavier weapons, you should sell rookies with subpar strength and buy new ones.

Why piratez?

Thabks for the advice anom, any other pieces of wisdom you feel like sharing?

>other pieces of wisdom
Explosives, all of them, every mission. If you don't level cities, you are doing it wrong.

>>388981874
because its the best biggest mod for openxcom which creates a whole new experience, way better than the xcom 2 if you're looking for something fresh btw.

>big gatling gun totting soldiers and city razing explosions are encouraged
My dick is diamonds, time to start the download.

You can get explosive ammo for your gattling guns.

The overwatch system is far better than the original where there was no way to know if your guys or their guys would actually fire.

>Is it just me or are the new XCOM games just simpler version of the original?
No shit sherlock

>>388982815
>5 man squad
Dude, you can have 10+ squads, backed by tanks.

>>388983124
Can I also install HE gatlings in the tanks? Important question

>>388983241
With mods, yes. But multi-fire HE rocket launchers are better for tanks.
