X-COM XCOM 2 + War of the Chosen Expansion Thread

[Metro]

Will buy Invisible Inc DLC first.

All ive wanted after finishing new Xcom was a fresh campaign. This will be an easy purchase if they can build on the reboot.

Long War gives you a pretty different play experience. Try it

 

[Gozma]

In the last couple versions Longwar also made it so your starting position on maps changes randomly. In a lot of cases that's as good as a new map - doing some maps backwards makes them tactically unrecognizable.

Prosper confirmed agent of the great enemy.
So is this their take of Apocalypse, with mix of V?

 

[sser]

Yeah that does very look Apocalypse-esque with the focus being on a city. I do hope they get rid of the 2-AP, but I know that's a remote possibility.

Ive heard mixed opinions on long war. My impression is that its the same campaign but extremely extended and with more content, variety. I cant help but think Ill find it tedious.
Maybe Ill give it another look

It is same campaign but feels pretty different in both geoscape and battlescape. Base building matters, air combat is not autosuccess and tactical combat has so many options and tactics that worked before no longer work as well and you need to change it up and learn how to do missions properly.
I was able to finish Xcom on Ironman Classic multiple times but Longwar made me learn how to play it again

There is an option (Second Wave) at start called Not so Long War, it gives you all the new goodies of Long War but makes the campaign last similar to original campaign and not the new extended version that you heard about.

PC exclusive.

 

[Infinitron]

Fucking called it! I knew their console sales were a disappointment.

 

[Jimmious]

(I actually though I won whenever I finished EU/EW )

"take XCOM from a multiplatform series to a PC exclusive"

[LESS T_T]

stealth-infused tactics, procedurally generated maps, and more.

 

[Darth Roxor]

Spoiler

it will be just as shit as the first one

 

[Infinitron]

Morgoth Add "- PC Exclusive" to thread title

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

In before $75 launch price.

 

[Morgoth]

Okay, the trailer was kinda shit.... but we understand marketing is that way. My hopes are high about PC exclusivity though.

[ERYFKRAD]

Hey cool, melee's in this time.

 

[Jimmious]

We got mod support, procedural generated maps and SNAKEMEN.

 

[Weirdstuffinspace]

There is no hope for this game.

When they still pretended the new xcom wouldnt be streamlined they had an interview (or postmortem) where they said the protoype they built that was based on old xcom was INCOMPREHENSIBLE for the younger and current staff.

 

[Disgruntled]

Looks like more of the same. Cant see any major additions but its early days. Reasonably happy.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

The only good thing about that trailer is that snakeman looks kinda cool. Apart from that seems like it's pretty much a glorified expansion to the first one so my excitement levels are around 0.

 

[Cyberarmy]

PC exclusive?!?IN 2015 What's going on out there?!?

 

[Gozma]

I wonder how cheap they're gonna go on production values? It seems like you gotta move heaven and earth to sell a million copies of something on Steam.

They are also gonna push modder stuff.
