EggsAisle posted:So I'm thinking about picking this game up since it's on sale. It looks like fun and I'm enjoying EU/EW, but I'm hesitant about the bug/glitch situation. Everyone loves to say "fix your game, Jake" but to what degree do the errors actually detract from gameplay? I'm a little bothered by reports of LoS bugs/shooting through solid walls and such- it's already frustrating when it happens in EU/EW, and it sounds like it's even worse this time around? The joke might go over people's heads since we say it so often but 99% of every "fix your game, Jake" is tongue-in-cheek. I've personally never encountered a game breaking bug, or other serious flaw. The tiny, somewhat humorous odd mistakes are plentiful though, mostly harmless, and kind of give the game some charm. XCOM is like goat simulator - they'll fix the game breaking bugs, but leave everything else in Also I suggest Eph "Phenolphthalein" Phatha. Too long? Don't care. Epitaph is great too.

XCOM is like goat simulator - they'll fix the game breaking bugs, but leave everything else in You should watch Jade's highlights. There's a great one involving the front of a train just disappearing and leaving a guy exposed allowing an alien as yet unseen in the LP to score an easy kill. Then there are also incidents of ADVENT Officers floating in the air attached to puppet strings and in one instance acting as full cover.

Even with all the flexibility that the game engine gives for 'procedurally generated' levels and modability, it still unnerves me that they were never able to change it so LoS and shooting actually used the environment properly instead of just saying 'Oh, character X can see character Y, let's just draw a straight line for their firing path.' Then you get people clipping walls and shooting through floors. I also prefer the old XCOM: EU/EW Long War way of tackling cover which is cover is pretty drat sturdy and doesn't shatter to nothing if you miss a shot in the general direction of the target. The only way to effectively get rid of cover with Long War was Collateral Damage or explosives.

Can I vote we name someone else Empanada, if only to confuse Jade even more? Otherwise, I'm absolutely for Siobhan "Shredder" Mackenzie and Eph "Beef" Phatha.

Coffeehitler posted:I think the loot you got came out of the mission objective box, since it was an item retrieval mission. I mean, it could be that the game bugged out and gave you one of the two or three loot items the snake would have dropped, but I think those boxes give loot.

Scribbleykins posted:Eph "Kahoreheuaua" Phatha, in honor of his New Zealander roots Them's fighting words mate! Also I don't really want to vote on the nickname for the character I submitted but I think beef is a pretty good choice. Empanada is a very close second. Regarding sparks, I assume you can set the Julian voice pack on multiple spark units? Are we going to get to see a double Julian squad at some point?
