How to board UFOs without losing half your soldiers? Why are

>>389134707
>not having your intern open all doors
Do you even x-com?

>>389134707
always go during the day, move slowly, and get better gear/soldiers (yes, you'll take massive losses early on because your soldiers die when breathed on)
because each "time unit" is a unit of time, it's pretty obvious anon
yes it's worth it. i actually like new xcom but it's very different from old school x-com and you can't really compare the two

>>389134707
Stack up on door before breach, or if you have tech from that screenshot just blaster bomb the top and fly in from the roof or something

Old xcom is really dated but fly as fuck once you're past that.

>>389134832
I don't know how they managed to turn the amazing rng bullets from the original, to the boring and frustrating binary shitfest they are so proud of

Fuck, the #1 thing i miss from EU/EW in XCOM 2 is alien crash missions, they were so good

>>389135034
they made each shot of a burst shot a separate roll
in nucom it's hit or miss - 50/50 always

>>389135254

it's a good tradition in xcom series.

>>389135254
>>389135319
someone post the XCOM 2 point-blank 65% chance macro

Does anyone have the gif of the entire squad getting wiped out before they even move?

I don't understand it either.
My guess is that they didn't even know it existed as they just gave the original a superficial look.

HIGH EXPLOSIVE ROOKIES

>>389135689
Reaction fire from an alien staring at the door at the first turn. The weapon was a thermal shok launcher which just knocks out everyone since they're all bunched up in the ship.

What alien designs did you like in XCOM 2 over XCOM EU/EW

Good new aliens

Is xenonauts better or just ignore it?

>>389136002
ignore

>>389136002
It's all the unfun parts of the UFO without any of the good stuff

>>389136002
I'd say it combines the worst parts of original and remake.

>>389136002
its good, a bit repetative

>>389134707
>without losing half your soldiers
That's not how you play X:COM. Rookies are meatshields. Give them their trial by fire.

Xenonaughts is better than Xcom in every way

A better question is how do you play a game without a Chosen randomly showing up to wipe half your squad?

>>389134707
I hope you are playing the much superior openxcom.

>>389136290
Chosen are fucking pushovers that do minimal damage with the exception of assassin

>>389136392
And Warlock's mind control is kinda annoying too

Can xenonauts hates please explain what makes it so bad?

>no psionics
True. Devs couldn't balance it so they didn't include it. Is that the reason it's a bad game?

>muh pixels
Get over it.

Is Lesbian Space Pirates actually good and not a meme? Seems something out of a 90's OVA/Heavy Metal Original

I can't blow up/light the entire map on fire

Don't the aliums always bumrush you on turn 20?

I'm pretty sure only their commander/captain remains in the UFO.

>>389135689
>>389135932
ps just pop smokes your first turn and wait because the AI will run up all it's TU being stupid so you can disembark turn 2 without fear of getting reactioned into fine dust.

>>389136573
Come on dude, the enemy count is ridiculous, the smallest fucking scout ship has like 8 ayys in it. Later missions become such a chore with every nook and cranny jam-packed with all sorts of ass rape.

I don't really see what the big deal is with this webm.

It's a cruise ship terror mission, which you should always abort as soon as you land anyway. Plus, all but one soldier is unconscious aboard the sub, so even if he took off that turn, he'd only lose one soldier. If he really wanted to save them, he'd just send up one guy to pick up the body and step back onto the sub.

>>389136797
It's an optic "illusion". In UFO you saw 77 tiles due to the resolution.
In Xenonauts in regular 1080 resolution you see over 300 tiles. That's why the same fire looks so much more impressing in UFO.
Not saying that Xenonauts doesn't loses in that regard. But it doesn't make the gameplay itself worse.

>>389136573
can't jam as many soldiers into a craft as i can in ufo

>>389136715
>Seems something out of a 90's OVA/Heavy Metal Original
and that's bad? Are you underage? Its version 0.99H so its completely playable from start to finish and you wont believe the amount of detail and care the author of the mod has put in it. Though you can be bothered by the obvious limitations of the xcom engine, especially since It plays much differently from original xcom experience, and you can tell that this kind of game concept is not super optimized for this type of gameplay. But if you can get past the archaic interface and logic of the engine you'll get the best swashbuckling experience there is available to this date. Frankly I cannot believe this concept wasn't explored any further in other games.

Explain this.

>>389134707
You send in something expendable. When it inevitably dies, you send in something expendable in again. Rinse and repeat until said expendable survives. Duck him and toss in high-ex and close the doors afterwards.

>>389137214
>Seems something out of a 90's OVA/Heavy Metal Original
No, I actually unironically liked stuff like Genocyber and MD Geist, and I really really liked playing UFO Defense just to raid alien supply ships.

>>389137339
As wall crumbels from your shots each block of debris and each bullet is calculated. As the debris does not fall faster then the bullets fly of course bullets hit the falling debris instead of the tank behind it.

Duh.

>>389137263
Is there anything worse than snakemen bases?

>>389137763
Trigger Happy sectoids with blaster launchers

>>389137339
Wow, that's really shit.

>>389137339
>raises weapon to fire

That's what gets me most
