 I'm been making a few different custom soldiers based off the president elections. I think the hockey mask is a subtle touch.

Advantages to Australia : Played for 3 hours before work Should be a fine 30 Celsius today Cons: 80% of my soldiers are wounded. Showered with a spider this morning. Worth it? I think so.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:Also some additional Solomon's Wisdom: Challenge gladly accepted. Also, being 1 hour away from unlock meself, is there some sort of trick to getting it to unpack BEFORE the release time? Right now it just downloaded the 25GB, I think, but doubt it unpacked it, or maybe it did while I was gone?

So yeah, how skippable is the tutorial? Is there any cool story in there that I should have, or can I just jump straight to Ironman and go?

Overwatch bug Hitting the overwatch hotkey too rapidly will disable overwatch for remaining soldiers until the next turn. loving Christ, Firaxis. This is some basic poo poo. Already abandoning Ironman.

I decided rather than unlocking and playing now, that since we can .ini file the game to pull guys from a specific pool first that I'd have a last run through xcom ew and play it "Canon" or kinda how the book had it. So no rushing lasers or Mecs or anything like that, just a quick run on impossible with all the 2nd wave options turned on with the rule being that my campaign ends when I shoot down my second ship. Anyone left alive gets remade in xcom2 to continue the fight. Lasted till April 4th, lost a lot of good soldiers. Only have 5 guys left alive to import over. What a bloodbath  Gems of the campaign included Training roulette sprinter/revive/savour assault "petit" who apparently wanted so badly to become a medic  and also that I got the van dorn mission and saved him! Can't wait till tomorrow!

Antti posted:I'm up to tutorial mission 3 and this is one of the rookies the game randomly spits at me. One of my first guys was a Japanese dude who had the same hair and glasses and was also black. He looked pretty drat badass. Also I think like half of my female soldiers are white and bald, seems like maybe a small bug. For anyone with a lovely laptop wondering about performance: I'm running this on a surface pro 3 that has an Intel HD 4400 in it and while it's certainly not smooth the game is playable in 720p with everything turned off/down. I'd say this is probably the bare minimum that you can actually play it on, anything lower and I imagine the framerate would just be too annoying.

Hey, reloading doesn't count as an action, you can reload and shoot in the same turn. Nice.

If you set a soldier pool person as say psionic then make your initial spawn pool only character pool entries, does that mean they will automatically be a psionic?

What's the consensus so far, or is everyone too busy playing pretty princess with their soldiers?

thank mr green man gaming Bought a second copy because my first, I realized too late, was regular not digital deluxe. Still able to get the discount. Spare code is going to my fiancee or I'd throw it out for a goon to claim. I'm loving hype

I definitely got it during my first mission but a quick save/load fixed it, so just do that instead of actually ending your turn. Speaking of which loading a save is super quick which is nice while the game had launch day bugs.

I turned off three of the options that differ between high and medium without touching texture settings and it seems to have helped a bit. Also I failed the primary objective of the second mission and it didn't bother to actually tell me that means game over until I finished off the rest of the bad guys
