Does anyone else feel disappointed in XCOM 2?

What ruined it for me was, I play legend and I just know I'm about to hit that point when I'm literally unstoppable, and at that stage what the fuck is the point in playing?

It's just so bad and it made me feel bad because the base concepts are so good

The worst thing though, are the fucking devs
They made 1 maybe 2 balance updates and dropped the game
That's it
It's so disappointing to see such a game with great potential die because the devs couldn't spend 2 weeks play testing it

Is the mod scene dead?
Are the long war devs done making mods for XCOM 2?
Is the game a corpse?

>>158263223

An unfortunate problem that is present in every x-com/xcom to date

>The worst thing though, are the fucking devs
What

>They made 1 maybe 2 balance updates and dropped the game
3 dlc, an update for the release of each, X2 ported to consoles recently, patches, and expansion still to come.

>Is the mod scene dead?
Just go on the the steam workshop.

>Are the long war devs done making mods for XCOM 2?
Still one more is in the works

>Is the game a corpse?
As the rest of the stuff I addressed shows, no.

>>158264126
I shared my thoughts in that post and asked direct questions
When you replied acting dumb I called you out, there's nothing "passive aggressive" about any of it
Your first reply was tho, now thank you for collecting yourself to make a worthy reply
By the way all the dlc so far was such garbage I forgot it existed
They learned nobody wanted shit like that from EU and then made EW
Is an expansion of that sort confirmed for 2?

Honestly this is a sign, /xcg/. And we should stop, and listen, to what we are hearing. The thread died. Perhaps we were wrong. I mean, it takes effort to admit that, and even more strength to finally do what must be done. It has been an honor gentleman, but we must lay down our arms. I think.. perhaps the Elders knew all along that we would one day embrace them, and I think today, is finally that day.

i think the main issue with the last DLC that the class it added is useless without mods (hf gimping your team with a robot which can hit shit)

ive put in something like 600 hours into the game, never played xcom1 one UFO games
went from veteran to legend gradually and all i can say its fantastic and from time and time again i have the urge to play it again, only thing stopping me is the quite brutal start on legend, till you get mag weapons its really an uphill battle

I just started xenonauts and I have a couple questions:

Can I make a soldier turn in place without moving from his tile?

Do the ayys roll for reaction fire for each move independent of length? So a guy moving closer in two-three separate move orders is at more risk than a guy given a single big run command?

What's a safe-ish way to blow up a wall without killing the alien behind?

How to avoid those turns where an ayy opens a door 10m away from the squad and gibs someone? Level the entire city from a distance slowly with rockets?

>>158283339
Yes. Right click, I believe.

Ayys roll for reaction fire based on movement tiles and reaction actions, not movement orders. Suppress them to stop this.

Explosives suck so much that blowing up walls won't kill aliens almost definitely. Map destruction is really bad so you aren't even guaranteed cover destruction. Don't bother with rockets. Use shield/shotgun combos in early game.

>>158284541
>explosives suck
They do seem a lot weaker than xcom, I just blew up this wall with a thinman thingy behind it and it took almost no damage, had to finish it off with the machinegunner. But this is still very convenient, blowing up the walls one by one and then killing what's behind with no material loss, unless grenades are just as effective?

>>158284708
No, I mean that there's a lot of cover that just isn't destructible. It's usually better just to go to them or let them come to you.

Also UFOs aren't destructible at all. Good luck breaching them.

I'm playing UFO Defense

How in the hell am i supposed to beat these attacks on bases? The moment i step out of the skyranger the ayy lmaos start taking potshots at my troops from some bitchass tower

>>158306731
tell me about your strife my son

I don't like the tactical layer in xenonauts, it's somehow clunky, with ayys shooting from angles without being spotted in return. I understand when they're shooting from the second floor but it happens at ground level too.

The big flexibility in equipment is a plus but comes with its own problems, like being incentivized to overload a squad member or two with spare ammo and shields and dropping them on the landing zone, which is fussy work.

I guess I'm supposed to have a frontline of exclusively shields to tank the inevitable invisible ayy shooting from a window 5 tiles away..I don't like it.

>>158306731
stop rushing magnetic weapons until you get a few scientists

>>158306829
I just feel a little clueless about most things. And I wonder of I maybe overthink some things that might just be trivial. Like when to get certain GTS upgrades, which rewards on the globe are worth getting, when to buy weapon upgrades, research priorities, and most importantly, having a good amount of soldiers so that I can always switch one out in case one gets injured. And a few months in, often when Mutons start rolling out, it's often more than one per mission that's injured. I know the basics, always stay in high cover, if its not available, stick to low and hunker down.

>>158306731
Are you using battle scanners? They make a huge difference, especially against timed missions that force you to advance quickly

Not many tips come to mind for xcom 2 actually; just use your most powerful abilities to wipe pods before they can do much harm, inhibit any survivors with flashbangs/poison/etc. Run and gun rangers are great, but try and know what's around their destination before you send them off. You can survive accidental pulls with a well-placed mimic beacon, aid protocol on the vulnerable, and the aforementioned debuffs on the new pod

Yeah I can't do this. Second mission on veteran, had to destroy some ayy shit in 8 turns. Kill it in a few turns no prob and get the first advent pod. Advent guy and a sectoid shows up. Can't kill the sec on first turn but can kill the advent. Another advent and sectoid show up on other side of road. Sectoids use their combined might to disorient, hit soldiers with laser guns and cause them to panic, mind control one and in my frustration, cause me to shoot one of my mind controlled soldiers instead of the sectoid, killing him. I seriously doubt there's any hope for me to git gud at this game.

>>158306731
Here's a good general tip: don't put your faith in RNG. Usually people who are shit at this game don't understand that you have to make circumstances favorable to you (by busting enemies out of cover with explosives, flanking, flashbanging/suppressing those you can't kill on your turn), instead of hoping that your <100% shots will land.

Also, plan your turn ahead before doing anything. Start taking your moves when you know what your every unit will do. Ask yourself questions like
>What will I do if this shot misses or does do little damage?
>In which order should I take my moves?
>Which one of these enemies is the most dangerous?
>What kind of tools do I have to salvage this if the things do not go my way?
>Can I afford taking risks?

>>158317197
I don't know about lists, but if you asked here, I know anons would give you good builds.


>Second, are there any good naked bitches or other wise those types of mods?
Not sure exactly what you mean. The only mods I know about for that are all on the loverlab site:

The PMCs have been a pain to work with. The files I'm working with don't specify which textures go where so it's taken hours just to get the right textures and then there's the normals which aren't exporting properly. Basically, it might be a while before they're released.

What the fuck did you just say about me, you little human? I'll have you know I graduated top of my Sectoid brood, and I've been involved in numerous secret Terror missions on Earth cities, and I have over 300 confirmed crits. I am trained in Muton warfare and I'm the top squadsighit snapshot sniper in the entire Xeno armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on the Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with shooting down my light raider over the Pacific? Think again, Friendly. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of EXALT across the world and your base is being assaulted right now so you better prepare for the fucking storm, PFC. The firestorm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call XCOM. You're fucking critically wounded, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you with over 700 ways, and that's just with my plasma pistol. Not only am I trained in psi-combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Ethereal Collective and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the galaxy, you little bagel. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" alien base assault was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking Skyranger. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit terror all over you and you will not rescue a single civilian. You're fucking dead, Van Doorn.

build more comms/skulljack thing to bump down avatar

on the battlefield you will have a ranger
this ranger is like my girlfriend, it cannot be seen, you take every concealment talent and scout with him
you break stealth twice in a mission, once for a difficult pod, and once for the last pod

until you reach the restealth talent, you break stealth on the difficult pod
this is how you play legend aswell btw, so youll get gud fast

Don't promote anyone hurt on gatecrasher until they're out of sickbay. It doesn't solve the issue entirely but more or less guarantees you an active grenadier by the end of mission 2.

>>158375050

Because the game is a broken piece of shit and if they shoot you THROUGH the roof it acts as if you're not on cover. Probably.

>>158380321
I tried using rocket launchers to slowly destroy terrain but they're too heavy and costly to use. I have to spend a turn reloading for each shot, or I can carry multiple loaded ones in which case they're even heavier. With C4 I can put a couple bricks on every soldier and remove walls with much less hassle. So I'm very curious why you'd prefer rockets, is it a combat thing?

Flashbangs do seem kinda pointless, as do all non-smoke grenades, they're so expensive to throw. If I want suppression an MG at least has some range..

They've done a lot for performance since launch. Like, there was the one patch that must have contained some sort of pixie dust considering just how much improvement it came with.

That said, it's still not 60+ smooth FPS even with the strongest rigs.

What does that mean, exactly? Humans overcoming an extraterrestrial threat by reverse engineering their technologies?

Just beat the game. Should have done it back in April but I had to take a layoff.

Thought the ending was underwhelming. The last mission was okay up until that last room. Before that, it was nice to be able to explore a level while also fighting off enemies - and those "human simulator rooms" were a good design touch - but overall they just throw enemies at you, the same enemies youve been fighting since midgame. The last level could have been a good place to show some new one-off creatures just to throw in a curveball, but instrad it's just 6 Andromodads and Gatekeepers with more armor.

The last room was reeeaaally lazy. "Hey, let's just cram some pods together and shove them into the fight!" The Avatars were intetesting enemies because of their ability to jump around the map, but even with that + psionic abilities they just felt too easy. Maybe if the squad could damage them but Commander's Avatar was the only one who could actually kill them it would have presented some deeper tactical choices.

And then the mission just ends. You don't even need to kill everything. And your troops barely get any screentime in the last cutscene. The jump from the Commander's battle with the Elders to the wake-up in the Avenger was really canned. It was much weaker than the finale of EU, which showed some genuine emotion amongst the troops as well as the overrall conclusion to the war.

Idk i think the pacing of the game wore really thin about 80% of the way through, and the final assault is just the result of that. Still a solid 8/10 game and my favorite of the year thus far.

Do Archons actually calculate defense differently from floaters in the first XCOM? Because just taking a clean hit to your shot percentage seems like the most heavy-handed way of doing flyers.

They have 15 more defense but they are also a much more late game unit.

How do I build my mens? Do rangers take shadow step or shadow strike? Conceal or Run and gun?

For the other ones the only thing I know is Blasting pads are shit, take revive protocol earlier and then respec it to haywire later. And take Long Watch and lightning hands and later respec the lightning hands to dead eye.

No fucking clue for the sparks
