Does loading saves in XCOM 2 make me a weenie loser or is ironman the weenie loser choice this time It's different in every game that presents ironman as an option so I dunno

cheetah7071 posted:Does loading saves in XCOM 2 make me a weenie loser or is ironman the weenie loser choice this time Dunno how it is now but at launch there were so many game-breaking bugs in XCOM 2 that the recommendation for playing on Ironman was just "don't". Might be better now, but you should probably look into that.

My real question basically boils down to "does XCOM 2 get more fun if you try to power through things going badly instead of loading your save?"

If this is your first run do the latter so you can get a sense of how things should unfold Then next time do the first thing for the stories you'll have

cheetah7071 posted:My real question basically boils down to "does XCOM 2 get more fun if you try to power through things going badly instead of loading your save?" I think my answer to this is "yes, but" since usually yes but maybe not if you're deep enough into a campaign and feel like the setback would end it. I think it's unlikely to happen that way, since the difficulty is really frontloaded in XCOM.

Yes it does but don't play ironman because it's also kind of buggy and may eat your save/gently caress you. It doesn't look like it but you really have to go out of your way to fail to make a campaign unwinnable once you get more than a few months in, so power through losses/bad situations. On my legendary run I only had to savescum one bit and that was because of some bugs around los I didn't feel like dealing with.

The Colonel posted:my actual favorite battle system is tales of graces f but i can't really use that as a point of comparison for turn-based jrpgs, so, rip While I'm glad I set Cold Steel to hard, I'm reaching that point where combat against the simplest mooks requires too much effort to make the games' systems worthwhile. I really want Western and Japanese RPGs would meet in the middle. Take the Japanese RPG design of world building and systems heavy character crafting that doesn't rely on an easily exploitable pen-and-paper reject system with Western RPG design of explicitly crafted fights and measured equipment where combat is rare and puzzle-like instead of a constant, never ending hurdle to pad time. Basically more Cosmic Star Heroines, thanks e: It's been about 15 years and Wild Arms 3 is still the only JRPG off the top of my head that has an in-game system for just skipping combat which is refilled by exploring to find crystals which acts as both an incentive to press on and a visual clue for what areas you've been in. al-azad fucked around with this message at 22:08 on Nov 5, 2018 |

Considering you'll be outnumbered often 2:1 in this game a bad turn can result in a party wipe or a never ending pit where you're just trying to climb out by healing/dying/healing/dying. It was around the sewers where this first started becoming a noticeable thing. I think the boss of that area is two dogs and they both have AoE's that take a person down by half and delay everyone. On hard you can get a party wipe if the two dogs do their AoE's back to back.
