Asleep

2 more months man. Then we won't have to worry about sliding off.

Would it even be in the realm of possibility for Xcom2 to get nominated for an award next year? It is such a niche game.

>check and see that there is not a strategy category.

This is some bs, especially after that whole westwood video.

>>124254517
Not really... It's not real time strategy. Westwood has no claim to fame over like. this whole Genre. Cus you know. Turnbased existed before all that.
Sadly there aren't enough, and nor do they get as much fame... These turn based tacticals.

>>124255267
I mean strategy games in general. There should be at least a category for all strategy games rather than none.

Are you ok anon? You don't seem right.

Also:
>Throughout XCOM 2, you’ll likely deploy troops to one or more of these Shanty towns, Commander. While there, be sure to take care when detonating fuel canisters and vehicles. While the ultimate goal is to defeat ADVENT, we should be mindful of the lives we’re affecting every time we turn one of these communities into a war zone.

I wonder if this will actually play into the mechanics. Maybe more cover destruction in the shanty-towns will give a negative reputation, since they house the people most sympathetic to XCOM's cause? I'm looking forward to February

Maybe then the general will be off life support ;_;

I did and it didn't help.
Tempted to try stream again but if I did I would probably start a new campaign since it was already a pretty bad start.

I certainly hope we something soon. We got the Tac layer demo at E3 in June, the Strat layer demo in early August, and now we're thirsting for something big now that we're past the original release date. If they could drop something big in the next week or two, I think Firaxis (and /xcg/) could coast on the hype all the way to February. But maybe that's just wishful thinking.

Looks like return of tightly edited gameplay vanilla xcom. Also mentioned getting up to one video a day once xcom2 is out.

Also said that he's not to be trusted

right, like how were supposed to get an E3 video?

>>124269836
He also said that he has a history of making promises and disapointing people, and so he stopped promising, but that was no fun, so now he makes promises again. He appears to be self-aware

Hey /xcg/, stopped playing lw around when johnnylumpkins added ccs on everything. 2magnificent4me Think it was like patch 15c or d.

You can touch stuff like doors and bombs even if you have no actions left

just manually switch back to the dude by clicking them

I thought something was up when one of my guys suddenly became able to see an ayy, but I chalked it up to usual LOS breaking shenanigans. this shit is actually insane.

>>124275487
awww I was gonna take a video but alt-tabbing fixed it. this game is bizarre and held together by bailing twine

>keep seeing the Pistols are Useful meme

Rapid Fire and Gunslinger make these things actually a little obscene, my snipers shouldn't be getting into stand-up firefights with mutons and winning and one-turn-wiping chrissie pods with pistols only through Rapid Fire is amazing. infinite ammo pushes it from gimmick to being actually viable, it's insane

also is there anything to do with excess or depricated weaponry because I have 9 LPRs because I keep going HAM arresting ayys. I also have a phoenix cannon (also made just to see if I was wrong to always skip it) and don't want it anymore because it is terrible

>>124272838
Let me put it this way:
Even Beaglerush got completely burnt out by the utter magnificentness that is LW b15. He literally cannot play the damn game anymore without getting physically ill.
Thats how bad LW is to anyone who isn't a newfag.

So yeah, steer clear and wait for XCOM 2

His marauder (POV) has Close Encounters, which lets him get a free shot at any enemy in 4 tiles range. The orange markers are the 4 tile range indicator. Much like the arc thrower indicator you get when you select a soldier with an arc thrower.

>when two pods teleport into the middle of your squad and activate at once

>>124291902
I don't think I've ever lost a man to genuine bad play. It's always been some bullshit like that.

XCOM is a really easy game until it spontaneously decides to drop 9 mutons right in the middle of my squad, bypassing overwatch.

>>124289036
I can see the reasoning for the other classes, but why Infantry so low?

Sure it's terrible as an OW build because of giving up OW to command, but you can just build crit instead and fish for a crit on that first shot, then wait see if you want command or another shot.
