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

[Zeriel]

They just had to cuck us, didn't they?

 

[LESS T_T]

I guess they don't want to be nuked by Fallout 4.

 

[Zeriel]

I really hope this isn't a "we're going to stop working on it, despite what we said, this is all about the sale window" decision. If they really are going to improve it that's okay, but Bloodlines is the perfect example of how fucked the former is: let's stop development on this game for a year while we say we're polishing it, just so we can sell it when there's no competition!

 

[Jaedar]

A pretty weird decision imo, considering they've been showing this off at a lot of cons and such. They'll waste all the hype, and have nothing new to show for release time.

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Oh look, a delay. I'm shattered.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

If it results in a more polished game, then I'm happy.

 

[Inspectah]

I'd rather have a more complete game, so I don't really mind the delays. Unless, as was already said, the delay is just so they can dodge Fallout 4, then I won't be happy. But the dodge makes sense, can't blame them for it

I have this relationship with XCOM where every six months or so I get excited to start a new campaign, and then once I do I start remembering all the annoying bullshit that made me quit playing before.

Not too optimistic the sequel will fix any of that but it's probably worth picking up on sale at some point.

 

[Alienman]

haha, same for me. It is usually that dlc map that gets me. The one where you have to rescue a scientist or something like that, and when you do you get ambushed by a shitload of thin-man.

Long War is too demoralizing to play. I love what they did but I'm just too casual for it...

There's an easy mod out there if you look. Might still be too hard if you are a scrublord though

 

[Zeriel]

The worst part of Long War is how fucking long everything takes. And the second wave option to fix that just isn't balanced properly, no matter how you customize it in the inis. It's a bummer, Long War adds so much to the game, but the autism factor is just way too excessive.

Pre-orders are up, and of course it comes with free DLC (that may have balance implications?)

I see Infinitron already wants it.

[CthuluIsSpy]

Well, looks like I'm not pre-ordering :D

 

[Zeriel]

Yeah, that pre-order bonus is pretty meh. Guess that's better than it being something great that people would feel obligated to get, though.

"Instantly unlock a survivor of the old war as a recruit in your barracks."

Wait, what?

I play it non-ironman and have fun.

 

[CthuluIsSpy]

"Instantly unlock a survivor of the old war as a recruit in your barracks."

Wait, what?

Because that's what XCOM needed, more hero characters. Its not as if Shang and that psychic chick botched the balance by giving you high tier soldiers early on.

Van Doorn hype

"You will not get me without a fight!"

I guess they don't want to be nuked by Fallout 4.
