Besides, almost general wants to fuck the monsters in their games.

>>152281587
Anon, nearly every single general on /vg/ has multiple waifus and husbandos. It's not like the majority of the threads are dominated by it. Even when there's heavy posting of it going on short term it takes up less than 10% of the total thread the overwhelming majority of the time, and never goes past 20%.

Go to >>>/out/ yourself, as you're clearly out of the loop on the board as a whole.

>>152282404
Youre blinded by your own autism. Holy. Fuck.

>>152283462
leader is kind of neat but it should be more passive

>>152283471
Not even remotely. There aren't that many threads on the board which are predominately waifu/husbando posting. /xcg/ isn't one of them, and to claim otherwise is ridiculous.

We have 750 posts before bump limit. Less than 75 on average are snek or remove snek related. If you include general waifu/husbando (EXALT, EXALT-chan, Patsy, Coydex, etc.) we still rarely go over 150 total posts between all of them.

You're over-exaggerating a problem because you're mad about seeing something you don't like. Get over yourself.

Is Jake ever going to make an Apocalypse-like game?

>>152300960
All the pieces are in place, the current ayys have been defeated in both timelines (introduce new aliens), humanity now has access to advanced technology, post ADVENT hybrids are literally the hybrids in Apocalypse, Julian is an advanced AI so that would be a good link for the Androids.We have scientists and engineers who are actual peoples (similar to Apoc).

The only problem is whether Jake is going to remake TFTD. With the ending cutscene in X2, that seems to point towards X3 being set or related to stuff underwater, obviously like TFTD.

>>152301547
Think they'll do anything with the EW timeline? 'cause, like you said, everything seems in place for both TFTD and Apoc for 2's timeline.

>>152302362
Yeah its weird because technically if you ignore the ending cut-scene for X2, X1's setting is much closer to the original jump off to TFTD. Of course, the cutscene in X2 could possibly be teasing the next XCOM which is TFTD and takes place after XCOM1. Basically I have no idea, and with the Firaxis going for alternate timelines, they can do whatever the hell they want.
I would welcome a TFTD remake, though I would definitely be more excited for and Apoc remake. Also odd is the fact that Jake has publicly stated he dislikes TFTD and alot of that was that he felt the underwater setting wasn't very compelling.

>>152302362
>Think they'll do anything with the EW timeline?

Hey lads, I got a problem.

Using Long War Mod Manager won't install several mods properly at once - some don't install at all, like Revenge of the Sleeves and Sight Range, and Dev Console.

I've tried looking into this but couldn't find anything helpful. Is there some trick to this stuff? Am I retarded?

I blame advent. It used to feel like you were helping people, and taking revenge on an alien menace. With advent involved you're doing the same thing games have been doing for around 10 or so years now. Going into war-torn towns and shooting dudes in body armor.

Second month, so everyone was packing Laser rifles so it wasn't a big deal. They were too close for me too effectively use HE bricks because I was running people straight out of the skyranger and fighting them. They also didn't last long enough.

>USG: I’ve just got to say thanks so much for not doing Terror from the Deep again.

>Solomon: It's not going to happen! I’ve made my feelings on that one known! You know, it's funny, because I’ve played that one, and I’m playing it as I’ve played all XCOM games, but that one to me – I feel like because of the water setting... XCOM works because of the Earth setting, and then it’s like "aliens are weird because they’re on Earth, so we should put it in the future." We didn’t want to make it seem too futuristic, because then I think that the player loses any sort of emotional connection to what it is they’re fighting for. Terror from the Deep was pretty weird; you’d be underwater and just like, "I’m not sure where I am, I could be on a space planet right now."

God I hope not. I cling to that quote. They could easily spin the ending as "the energy released from the ocean floor caused a natural disaster" similar to what precipitated Apocalypse's domed cities.

>>152321945
Yeah, that guy has been here longer than the cyclops asshole. I personally think it's Fubukiposter.

As an xcom newfag...
I dunno. I really like the screenshots from terror from the deep.
Plus an aquatic Apocalypse is burned into my head as the most amazing adventure since I loved the shit out of Final Fantasy Legends 3. That has underwater AND time travel and it's pretty sad as you see one city of people turn into sea hags.

>>152330261
Its not that it can't be good, but tftd was literally an x-com skin of the first one, and the the game was full of magnificence (read bullshit) so it turns people off. Technically, TFTD is a very good candidate for a remake because of these very reasons. But as I've already stated, it doesn't really doing anything too interesting imo, while the posibilities with Apoc are pretty endless, and boy, could that game use a remake.

Just imagine the Firaxis XCOM team giving the game real graphics and an actualy artstyle that doesn't look like garbage is enough to make it worth while.

And unlike TFTD, Apoc actually set out to do very interesting things, in its settings and its strategic mechanics. It has the most freedom of any game when it comes to launching your own operations as well.

In my head just keeps swirling ideas about water movement, bubbles and pressure things. Like the entire environment is alive. There could be so many more vehicles and gadgets and shit.
I probably just like water, it doesn't need to conform to XCOM and XCOM doesn't need to conform to it.
But it is a videogame, so I want my underwater level.

It would be pretty ambitious to use the whole 3D space thing too since we can move in all directions under water.
No idea what apocalypse is though. I'll look into that now.

First ADVENT what mission? 2 rangers and 1 grenadier is all you need to clear the entire game anyway.

Should I get XCOM 2? Is it good? How does it differ from Enemy Unknown/Within? If I do get it, should I get DLCs?

Anarchy's Children is just cosmetics, look at it and decide if you want it.
Alien Ruler's adds Alien bosses, people are just scrub casuals and they can't handle them, up to you if you want them or not.
Shen's Gift is worth it, it has a cool mission and cool robots.

>>152350683
Alright anon, show us where the ranger touched you.

>>152350801
Anarchy DLC is mostly meh and can be skipped since there's much better free cosmetic mods. Alien Rulers will wreck your shit if you're unprepared but the narrative mission for when you first find one is neat and they give you cool armor once you autopsy them. SPARKs are pretty good too and have a variety of cool abilities and uses, like being used as cover or directing fire away from your meatbags. Especially useful in drawing out Chryssalids too since they can't be poisoned. The mission where you unlock them is also pretty long, narrative heavy and challenging.

>>152350801
>Should I get XCOM 2?
Yes.
>Is it good?
Yes.
>How does it differ from Enemy Unknown/Within?
The core gameplay is fundamentally very similar. You have more options on the strategy/geoscape level (and the aliens can work against you on this level as well) but the airgame has been removed completely. Mods can mix things up even more, should you choose.
>If I do get it, should I get DLCs?
Yes. Anarchy's Children is purely aesthetic, for people who want some of their soldiers to have a Mad Max/punk rebel theme. I like it, lots of people in /xcg/ don't. Alien Hunters gives you some new weapons, a special story mission, and three recurring bosses which can be an absolute nightmare to fight. Shen's Last Gift also gives you a special mission and a new character class. SPARKS aren't amazing, but they're still fun to play around with.

This. XCOM 2's music is so fucking forgettable, whilst EU/EW's music gets you pumped to kick alien ass.

After a while I don't even HEAR XCOM 2's music it's so damn generic.

Regarding XCOM 2 soundtrack modding, it uses the godawful .wem file format which I have passing familiarity with, as Killing Floor 2 uses the same format

After some fiddling I managed to change the main menu music in a fewminutes. The main issues will be:

>.wem files have an audio length encoded somewhere other than the audio file itself, so a custom audio track may either cut early or have a period of nothing before the track repeats
>the files need to be replaced, so no Workshop availability and manual backups are a must

I'm hoping someone has figured out how to edit the track lengths and will correct me before the thread is over. Aside from the few hours it'll take to figure out what tracks are what, that's the biggest issue at hand.

>>152374785
I'm just fucking with you, anon.
In all seriousness, Firaxis have no issues with rehiring VAs, so there's probably a legit reason for it. I'd imagine it's because Bradford completely changed since the last game.

He's not a nod too anything from the previous games as far as I know, certainly not the original x-com.

It has attachment support, but since this mod is supposed to be cosmetic and i'm autistic it has 0 attachments possible by default, you have to change the number in the .ini if you want it to have attachments.

If this was the original Xcom there would be no barn for them to scout.

One of the Piratez superhuman anons checking in, considering just starting a new campaign with .99B. Some of the changes look really appealing: http://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,3626.0.html

Good squad comps for LW? It's my first playthrough and I'm only early so I'm mostly running with an infantry, rocketeer and gunner with rookies to get some reserves up quickly but I'm expecting things to heat up soon.

>>152394226
One of each class, alternatively make everyone the same class for comedy.

>>152394226
The first month for standard abductions, it's recommended to bring all rookies and get them one kill each so they rank up.
For downed small ufos, bring 5 rooks and an assault or gunner to babysit them and help kill the outsider. Rookies always level up after a ufo mission regardless of whether they get a kill or not.

When it comes to early squad comps (6-7), the more important part is the equipment and type of abilities your bring.
You should have at least one suppression, most likely gunners, but also could be medics or infantry.
You are going to want AOE damage, so that means engis or rocketeers.
You want some people with shotguns to bring good aim against close range targets, also very good against floaters getting in your face. This can be assaults and scouts, though medics and engis can pack shotguns as well.
For equipment, I always recommend one motion scanner, one medkit, a couple of ap nades, and a couple flashes.

For 8 man squads, one of each is actually a perfectly good idea. For some mission or map types, you may want to forgo a class. For example snipers may be of limited use in urban close quarters, or rocketeers if you are going to have to move fast.

This is all in my limited experience and are just suggestions, but I hope it helps.
