Hey I'm the Amerilard from the last thread who went to sleep after everyone's helpful posts. Just wanted to share my experience with my first run that basically won my heart.

>Harry rises as a zombie, OMFG commander comes back and mind controls my sniper from the ledge OMGOMG NO!
>Bose runs right up to Harry... I can't bring him to shoot... I end the turn
>Harry beats Bose to death in one hit, sniper turns to support next to her and head shots from point blank. I just lost 3 Colonels in 1 turn
>next turn my heavy takes out the commander and mission ends
>I look at them on my wall after the cinematic and decide to reset way way back before this point because it hurts too much

Holy shit what a journey though for a first run.

To play fiddles.

With hindsight, does anyone else think that the story, pacing and dialogue of Xcom 2 were dogshit bad? The gameplay itself (performance issues aside) was pretty fun once you adjusted from the previous game, but I thought that everything about the way the story was presented was embarrassingly bad in a Hollywood blockbuster kind of way.

>>154020567

Sometimes it just doesn't proc. I've had it happen before.
One thing to note is that it will not proc if the moving unit is on a different elevation. Also, they have to step into the zone and then move again.
But it still does not work at all sometimes for seemingly no reason.

Compared to XCOM2's maps where you can pretty much bring one squad comp to cover all your bases, EW's maps are all drastically different and will fuck you up if you bought the wrong team comp, thank god for the LW's albeit vague map description but it still helps

I just got back to the game from a long hiatus to try out all the new stuff. Back when I last played, I had a homemade mod that increased the number of enemies in a pod, and the number of pods on missions. That mod is broken now, apparently, and I'm trying to make sense of the changes. What the fuck is an "encounter bucket" and why did they add it?

>not nearly as good as people make it out to be

I'm going to have to disagree, on the grounds that The Witcher 3 is exactly as good as people make it out to be. It shames most other efforts, and makes The Elder Scrolls look like a half-finished child's toy.

>>154040693

>Makes the Elder Scrolls look like a half-finished child's toy.

Thank fucking God somebody finally said it. Elder Scrolls is completely overrated as a series. That said, XCom LW and XCOM 2 are still far and above the better games over Witcher 3, which is actually just a straight-up work of plagiarism.

>>154044791
>straight-up work of plagiarism
Never played Witcher 3 but I highly doubt that.

Just because the general is not about it doesn't mean you have to talk shit about it, Witcher is a great game.
Didn't you see the main dev destroying SJWs on twitter? Polish people are based.

>>154045492
>while the games are not directly derive from the novel and thus not completely plagiarized works
So right off the bat, your starting argument is wrong
>features the same protoganist
This is your actual argument
>Most of the narrative they penned themselves with no guidance from the novels
>the core narrative is a totally different story
Which means even if the argument was correct, the majority of the witcher game is clearly original work
>nothing new under the sun ins't an argument
It's a fine argument, just saying it's bs doesn't refute it, though in this case it hardly matters.

>in global politics a year is proportionate to a minute
More bs said forcefully that means absolutely nothing

>And arguing that - if we don't know - then it's probably best to fall down on the side of skepticism and caution.
Yeah, so that means we have to assume this guy's argument right? I don't think so.

This is about the legal battle between the author of the witcher series Andrzej Sapkowski and the author Michael Moorcock, and not the Witcher video games. The Witcher game series is just a side issue, connected, but not the real problem.
So the Witcher 3 is not a plagiarized work.

Also this guy is really, really annoying.

so is Kill Zone just buggy as fuck

been a while since i played it and it just doesnt work anymore, ive had a killzone down with 10 people in it and when they moved nothing happened

>>154048475
Are you trying to use it from concealment?

>>154048649
That might be it hes got Phantom from the free ability.

So even abilities that use overwatch wont overwatch properly in conceal

>>154049021
Yeah they changed kill zone so it does not activate from concealment. RIP kill zone imo, that was it's greatest strength. You can still get use out of it, but it's still overwatch and thus unreliable imo. Starting an ambush with it was super strong and covered for it's weakness.

The month of July saw 9 deployments over a 6 day period. XCOM managed to field 8 operatives for all missions but the injuries and fatigue wounds were racking up toward the end. Should I buy the alloy SHIV? Or just take 2-3 regular SHIVs and treat 'em as expendables? I know the alloy is overpriced, but I feel like the robot I want to count on when I can't bring out a soldier should be tough as nails, and all my scouts have low profile.

Did they even make this possible to mod in? Seeing third parties in the AO doing their own thing would be pretty cool and break up the monotony of visiting this farm every couple of times I shoot down a small UFO.

>>154051423
X1 probably doesn't have the modding capability. X2 definitely does though. So basically we need a full X1 conversion mod for X2.

>>154051639
This made me think. Disregarding the fact that it would probably be an insane amount of work, wouldn't it indeed be possible to implement a third faction?
I'm far from knowing the logic behind it, but ruler reaction basically trigger after every soldier movement that isn't a free action.
By giving reactions to third party allies and modifying it to trigger after the last player/alien action, it would basically create a third phase in the turn.
Having them join you after the mission if they survive doesn't seem to be too complicated either, since there's already a script in place to have sci/engis join you once they rescue you.
Would it even be possible to do all this or I'm just dreaming?

>>154054240
Someone always has a mod that includes exalt as another faction and you can have a three way fight. Also the three phase turn already exists in the vanilla game. Remember that in retaliation missions, the turn order is you, the ayy, and then cives. They have their own separate turn to themselves that follows the same rules as other units.

Is the early large landed guaranteed to appear in your starting country or can it appear in another country where you don't have satellite coverage?

It doesn't have to appear where you have satellite coverage, at least I don't think so. It is just very likely.

Fresh from a VA thread on /v/.

>>154060778
Why? It hardly actually matters if it goes through. You will lose some resources, but if you follow up the next month, the ayys should launch more missions and ufos. You might end up with a bit less resources, but theirs no risk to your roster being impacted by early losses of higher ranked soldiers. It's in no way required at all. In fact, I'd wager that on average, not going on the mission would lead to a larger percentage of successful campaign comparatively.

Name one example. Was it in ASB or something?

>>154067259
It happens in the Stardust crusaders adventure, at least a few times. I think in the episodes somewhere around 10-20. But I've been binge watching them, so I can't recall clearly. I'm certain its the same sounds they use in XCOM. Not always the full sound or exactly the same, but even if they cut off or are distorted my brain reacts every-time. I know I heard the run n' gun activation sound 100%.

>>154050287
alloy shivs are actually pretty decent in LW. They're very mobile, decently tanky, and they have a lot of equipment options that give them great perks. I'd recommend it.

>>154051006
I downloaded the mod that replaces mission timers with infinite enemy reinforcements, reinforcements acting on landing and the All Pods Activated mod, and things have gotten a lot tougher. If you don't have them yet, give them a shot.

I also downloaded the "can only keep corpses you carry out" mod, but I think that might be going a bit too far. Not having stacks of ADVENT corpses to sell off hurts my economy more than I realized.

Have routinely skipped the first large since it works out better overall for your campaign to let the ayys get fed early.

It's one of those bad balancing decisions JL made but I'm ok with it since it makes no difference as long as you successfully pull off the first landed without casualties.

Like the other person said, lot's of High explosive bricks are how you take care of cyberdiscs. If you aren't already, make sure you aren't leaving the skyranger on the first turn. All aliens have full TUs the first turn meaning the will reaction fire you. But the next turn they will spend at least half if not more of their TUs moving around. Instead smoke the skyranger ramp and wait a turn. Also, take advantage of smoke grenades and terrain to break los as much as possible. In a good operation for me, I never see a single alien on their turn, and that's what you want to aim for. Abuse squad based los as much as possible. Scout ahead with one person, but have everyone else doing the shooting and throwing stuff so that the scout doesn't get reaction fired if possible.

lamo

if you want to keep your weight down LITERALLY drink water, it tastes better than skim """"milk""""

>>154111817
Aight, I'll be the one to say it. There is literally no reason to drink regular Coke over Coke Zero aside from being a gluttonous fuck who has no idea how sweeteners work.

You're god damn right about the milk tho, yikes

>>154111972
>No reason to drink regular coke over coke zero

what about

it tastes like fucking shit

unless you're some peasant who drinks hfcs coke anyway in which case you should probably consider not drinking soda at all

yes

>>154111817

>people care this much about skim milk
I really had no idea.

Also I don't know why people would get their knickers in a twist about. The only real dieting plan is pretty simple and its called "Eat less, move more," and it doesn't matter to much what you eat or drink to accomplish it. Skim milk has less calories, that's it

>There is literally no reason to drink regular Coke over Coke Zero
The hell is wrong with you. All soda is unhealthy. If your're really concerned about your health you just don't drink soda.

>>154112124
What about the difference is so small as to be neglible but your fat ass is so damn used to unnecessary sugars that you refuse to switch. I used to think Diet tasted worse, then I got used to it and now I can't tell the difference in a blind test.

>>154112281
>All soda is unhealthy
This is the misconception, it really ain't. I'll agree Stevia and other poorly tested out sweeteners are shit straight off the bat, but give me one reason that asparthame-sweetened soda such as coke zero is bad for you aside from the good ol' "you get used to sugars" as that point is moot assuming the consumer has even a shadow of self control.

we /fit/ now? talking about diet coke and skim milk, shit

>>154112471
Hell no dude, there's a world of difference in the taste. Sure I could probably get used to it, but then again I could get used to eating plain rice every day. Why would I, though?

It's not like I drink soda every day even, juice is cheaper and tastes better unless I have a hankering for some of that sugar sweet mm mm mmmm

also it's not like anything is happening in this thread

>>154111972

They fuck you up is what. Stay the fuck away from all soft drinks if you wana be thinner.

>>154112803
I don't know about that famiglia, I drink an average of at least 2 cans a day and I'm pretty /fit/. Also, source on that? No peer-reviewed study I've ever read indicates asparthame is bad for you.

>>154112281
>>154112281
>The only real dieting plan is pretty simple and its called "Eat less, move more,"

This is the biggest load of horse shit. Not all calories are equal.

I lost 30kgs with zero exercise. And seen others in my family follow the same diet. Basically no sugar, no wheat products, no vegetables oils, and no starches. Basically rice, meat and veges. Same calorie intake but you lose weight.

It's insane how fucked people are from all the wrong info that gets pushed around.

>>154112935
>No peer-reviewed study I've ever read indicates asparthame is bad for you.

Typical horse shit. Who the fuck is going to shell out 500k to do this? And go up against major corps in doing so?

Enjoy getting fucked up then :). Really have no pity for people like you. I used to be the same, it eventually catches up.

>>154112471
It's not a misconception. Coke zero is literally just diet coke that tastes different. It's not healthy. If you wanted to be "healthy" you would replace with a juice, or milk, or water. It has just about zero nutritional value.

>>154112935
>I drink an average of at least 2 cans a day and I'm pretty /fit/
Literally nothing to do with anything. Your diet and exercise on a whole might be good, but that doesn't mean that the soda is contributing in a positive way. I drink regular coke, but I only have like maybe one a week. It's not contributing towards me being in shape or healthy, that's practically any other part of my diet.

>>154113072
I'll concede saying its the "only" real diet plan, but it's still the healthiest. Obviously the food you consume matters, so I was just presenting something too simplistic.

> zero exercise
still unhealthy

>>154113456
Well yeah, the point isn't that you shouldn't drink soda, just that it's not healthy. But making all your decisions based on what's "healthy" is a pretty dumb way to live.


I'm also realizing this entire discussion is a big mistake. All I was saying is that skim milk has less calories, why is this difficult.

>>154113737
>> zero exercise
>still unhealthy

By that I mean extra. My job is physically demanding construction work. Just getting off sodas and sugars lost me 10kgs and stopped me being prediabetic.

>>154113948
Ok yeah, then we are in full agreement.

>>154113737
>skim milk has less calories,

It has no difference. It's literally a marketing gimmick. You'd be better off with whole milk since it has a lower GI. People are so misinformed.

>>154113072
Oh jesus, not this shit again. Weight gain/loss all boils down to energy in/energy out, mainly because that is how thermodynamics fucking work. When it comes to whether you gain, lose or stay at the same weight, the only relevant factor is the amount of energy you have ingested is weighed against the energy your body expends; if the former is greater, you gain weight. If the latter is greater, you lose weight. It's literally that simple.

You're a fucking idiot. That is a toxicity report which concluded that Asparthame was almost never dangerous at average consumption levels, excluding for pilots because the altitude in combination with the methanol could cause some adverse effects. If you want to do somee reading that's not looking for outlier cases of headache that could be attributed to asparthame, here you go:

Completely untrue. And you can see it clearly when some people have the same calorie intake but are different weights. Sugar industry actually started this propaganda and it should stop. Calories are not all equal at all.

Are you trying to tell me that skim milk doesn't have less calories? Because it does have less calories, that part is not a marketing gimmick, it's a fact.

It just means that skim milk has less calories.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Long War?
EW has simpler, but much better mechanics.
In EW you want to have as many item slots as possible, where in LW they are meaningless because most of the time you won't use them up anyway, and if you do then they will cripple you.
You have a bigger squad (8 with both squad upgrades, up to 12 on the very important missions), but there are 16 fucking classes, 8 alone without counting MECs.
Fatigue is a very lazy way of making you need more soldiers. When I complete a mission flawlessly, killing every ayy without giving it a chance to hit me then I should be rewarded, not having to wait 5 days before using them again.
It all seems much laggier as well, I know that it adds a lot of content, but EW ran perfectly at no less than 60 FPS while LW keeps stuttering. At this point I'm just nitpicking though.
Sorry for the blogpost

>>154115864
>Fatigue is a very lazy way of making you need more soldiers.

Makes the game more interesting though, instead of having one team the whole game.

Your complaints are typical of the casual gaming crowd.

>>154115864

Also you forgot about the fact that damage reduction was a mistake.

>>154115864
>long war
Leave this place, heretic. This is now milk general.

>>154115864
Lot's of people don't like Long War. In fact most XCOM players have never touched it. It's just different tastes.
I definitely think it's overrated in certain ways. It builds off a very strong base to accomplish some very cool stuff, but it's nothing without EW (yeah I know, duh it's a mod). If LW studios produce a product as good as LW I will be extremely impressed.
>Fatigue is a very lazy
I think you mean extremely effective. Effort doesn't decide what works well as a mechanic. Without fatigue the strategics and tactical layer in LW wouldn't be nearly as interesting as it is. I know what your saying, but I can't agree. I'm all for laziness honestly.

>>154116163
I could go a Long glass of milk.

Most true XCOM fans have beaten JL's Long War to prove a point.

I read the ign review for 2 and it said game is too easy on normal for "anyone who knows xcom". Is that true?

I played enemy within on normal and thought it was fucking hard, especially towards the end. What difficulty should I play 2 on? Should I pick normal?

>>154131732

If I remember right, you can't change difficulty midgame. It would suck to go hard, be ok for the first few hours then hit a wall and have to restart.

>>154135315
100% unique alien species (not upgraded/elite variants), X1 has 12 aliens. X1 EW has 14. With straight upgrades/elite variants, X1 has 15 and EW has 17.

For EW if you include Exalt there are 18 unique enemies. Including elite variants you have 25 enemies.

If you don't include ADVENT for X2, there are 12 unique aliens. If you include ADVENT there are 18 unique enemies. If you include elite variants then there are 28 enemies.
However many of these are just health upgrades and don't have any new abilities or equipment (Like a floater gets an alien grenade when upgraded to heavy floater). So if instead we only count elite variants that change in a more significant manner, then it's 19 (I only consider the upgraded MEC a significant enough change, which even then is only an AI behavioral change).
If you throw in DLC the number grows, but then those enemies only appear on specific missions, or maybe once or twice your entire campaign.

Short answer: more then X1
Long answer: it's complicated cuz dlc/expansions and what counts as an alien or not.

>>154137103
Yes.
I assume you also modded the UI ini to show 7 soldiers instead of six, right?
It's an old problem that's been present since launch, unless they fixed it and I didn't notice.
Download maxsquadsize fix from the nexus.
I don't know if they fixed it or not, but early versions fucked up with the heavy weapon slot and you had to pixel hunt or change it from the loadout screen.
You can also run the toolbox and have a cleaner UI pre-mission launch.

>>154137245
Small correction, I threw Avatars into the non ADVENT bin for some reason. So that doesn't change the total unique enemy count, but brings the unique "alien" count down to 11. Hence the merit behind "X2 has less ayys then X1."

>>154137579

Uh... This might explain it, then. I DID download Max Squad Size Fix.

And it's gone. I go into my subscribed items on the workshop and I find it there, but clicking on it brings me to one of those "this item has been removed" pages. The author has deleted it.

>>154137925
Yeah, either get LW toolbox or get the fix from the nexus, should still be there.

Thanks for helping an old dumb-dumb, anon. I'm curious why he'd delete such a useful mod, though.

>>154138292
Dunno, my guess is he removed it since most people probably switched to the toolbox since it simplifies the whole thing.
Checked the nexus and it's still there, by they way.

The planets have aligned, the good quality armor and weapon mods have come out, the LW perk and class overhauls are here, all the DLC is out and finally, after all this time, Xcom 2's shit combat music has finally been replaced.

It is only now that I can truly experience the ideal XCOM experience, now can I observe true magnificence.

It is time.

what about at the end of that last command and conquer game that never existed and was collectively imagined in some kind of strange delusional phenomenon

maybe i just imagined that game

>on topicish posts are getting delet
for what pvrpose
Baiting isn't against the rules senpai. Over moderation is not nice and will cause problems.
t. nice board

At this point /v/poster feels like a badly trained pet dog honestly. I mean he pisses in your house and rips the furniture up but you cant help but find the little bugger lovable in his brain dead persistence.

>>154145998
Honestly I stopped paying any attention to any C&C that went past 2.
I even tried command and conquer red alert 3, because why not. I got to the second level in the campaign and they forced me to work with an AI commander in order to beat the level. The AI had control of the of like half the army and the hero unit and then proceeded to screw everything up. I didn't even bother exploring the game more after that.

>bugs from unpatched no expansion X1 are topical
I really don't think so.

RA3 is amazing fun if you play it co-op with a friend i realize this is hard for people on 4chan

>>154146404
it's still on topicish and everyone other than scruffy is ignoring it. I don't see the problem of those posts being there, they're not even getting (You)s. Delets are bad for generals health.

>>154146208
Strangely enough janitors also hate people who shitpost for hours on end and global rule 6 is intentionally wide reaching and vague to deal with this kinda shit.

>>154146404

>Honestly I stopped paying any attention to any C&C that went past 2.

If you haven't given C&C3 a try, I'd recommended giving it a go. Kane's Wrath is even better.
They're not as classic as RA/RA2 or Dawn/Sun, but they have solid gameplay.

>>154146475

I think RA3 just suffers from people associating it with it's predecessor. It doesn't feel very unique in comparison.

In no way a bad game though.

>>154146475
>RA3 is amazing fun if you play it co-op with a friend
That does sound like fun, but hell, at least make the "singleplayer," well, singleplayer.

>>154146510
Sorry, but he's literally a broken record. The posts don't represent a contribution toward anything. They are just there. If every single one of his posts was deleted nothing would be lost. Smothering conversation on a slow general with endless spam is not healthy in the slightest.

>>154146604
And that's literally admin abuse which is why I'm complaining. I don't like the fuck either.

>>154146776
Delet is much worse. They're only +1 to the image limit anyway.

I have Xcom Enemy Unknown through a shared library on Steam. Can I purchase Enemy Within and play it even though I don't "actually" own Enemy Unknown?

>>154146850
>enforcing global rules which users are bound to follow is admin abuse
Are you mentally ill?

>people literally play unpatched, unmodified, straight off the DVD PC games four years after their release
I sure hope you guys don't do this shit

>>154146850
I don't understand your argument at all, and won't unless you make a better attempt to explain it. It's spam anyway you look at it. Even worse it's one man spam.
>mod abuse
>on /xcg/
That is completely ridiculous. They are never here. They could ban this guy and it would be merited.

>>154146850

>And that's literally admin abuse which is why I'm complaining.

Are you retarded?

>>154147164
>>154147337
Posts are about xcom and this is a place to talk about xcom. Low quality retarded spam, but in the end, only against a vaguely defined rule that allows admin abuse. +1 to image limit, that's literally all they're doing. No need to delete.

I don't like mods. Just because they're not here yet doesn't mean they won't be soon to ban snek and other shit.

>>154147687
Scroll up and people are talking about milk, that's breaking more rules than him. Just because you're okay with those posts getting deleted doesn't mean we won't get fucked in the end.

>HAHA I SAVED EVERY BUG I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED
jeez

>>154147719
>Posts are about xcom and this is a place to talk about xcom.
It can still be spam while "on topic," which already is a huge stretch.
Your jousting at windmills anon. There's not ever going to be a "mod" takeover. The only time that could have happened was at the release of X2, and even then they only dropped in to report posted porn that people reported.

>Scroll up and people are talking about milk
The point your missing is that people are actually having a conversation and that nothing from there is going to get deleted because no one is going report it.
You're just flat out wrong and overacting to a single image that was probably deleted because it's been reported so many times it tripped a filter or something.

>>154147719
>this is a place to talk about xcom
Yes it is, and this guys literally templated shitposting that never change in its content are not talking about xcom.
Hell if you try and respond to this moron you get another copy paste response. He's practically a fucking bot that shitposts until he gets banned like fucking clockwork ever week
>milk posting
Sure but there's a difference, that occured between multiple posters, didn't devolve into shitposting and wasn't spammed by 1 person for 7 hours like /v/poster has done before. It ran its own course and ended. /v/poster literally does not stop until he gets banned.

Ban evading takes around 20 seconds. All it does is encouraging even more low quality shitposting. And also shitflinging to mods. How fucking new are you?

>>154148092
I don't think a simple report would result in deletions of those posts. He is here, watching us, knows what he's been doing. And I don't like this a single bit. We were content with his deletions too and now we're actively being killed. But we have more than 20 active posters including that autist, we won't go down. And now hat we got our 5th thread deleted, I think that autist is about to spam all the generals now

Every general has retards like him. And one of those shits killed mine. We went from a retarded autist spamming bullshit to constant thread deletions with complete nuking of all post and bans to those no matter what you talk about. You guys are just too pure to see this. As much as he enjoys spamming and creating stuff like this, mods enjoy deleting and making people shitpost more. It's an action-reaction thing, any kind of reaction has entertainment value, including our discussion.

There comes my third block today. Reposting what? Posting in the general that I've been posting since 3 years? Fuck off. I'm waiting to get banned so I can save the ban message, but that didn't happen yet.

JUST. FUCKING. IGNORE. That includes you too, scruffy. You're not taking my generals from me.

Fuckin Ad didn't get reinforced every other turn, 1 pod dropped in and was slaughtered by a well timed OW

I still came super close to running out of time though

Wait is there gonna be more? I figured they ran their course

Consider extending the timers if you already have sixteen enemies in the first extraction.

Why or how in the ever loving hell would the advent use these bastards in a population center

obviously they're either trained down, or mind controlled somehow

Legendary with with extra pods is hell

>>154166607
you're averaging three a month so far

If you continue like this you're gonna see at least 40-50 of them up there by the end of your campaign (if you live that long)
