FoolyCharged posted:Invisible inc and xcom are very different games and I really dont understand the frequent comparison outside of being turn based. They are different, but in a lot of ways they are also similar, which is why a lot of people compare them. It's these similarities that lead people to question XCom 2's system designs, which are generally fine but could be a lot better. For instance their strategy layers bear obvious similarities; after a mission you may play around with your funds and equipment a bit, upgrade your team of elite badasses, and then you fly your HQ somewhere new to accomplish some new mission against your overwhelmingly superior enemy. Invisible Inc's strategy interface is basically flawless and leads to some questions about XCom 2's strategy layer:

I think it's because the interface is meant to play on the cross-section interface where you see individual rooms and people doing stuff in them, which was also a thing in XCOM 1, but between all the complications they added with the game and the expansions they let flavour really get in the way of actually getting things done conveniently once the novelty has worn off. There's definitely tons of wasted screen real estate and lots of better ways you could make an improved interface without sacrificing flavour. But I get the feeling with a lot of games these days the interface is an afterthought, either the first thing thrown together for the sake of testing or one of the last things crapped out.

To be quite honest, only apocalypse had anything interesting going on with the strategy layer and it was still flawed. Geoscape was the weakest part of the original x-com games and the newer XCOM games pantomiming it just didn't help. I kinda feel like Ultimate General Civil War had the best campaign setup, i'd just want to go with some rando maps instead of a series of fixed battles. Also feel like that game shoulda been less stingy about letting you buy repeaters.

Yeah I hate when games waste my time with animations. Animations with no input are basically a game design sin, like imagine you have a chess game on your computer where, every time you take a turn, a CGI hand comes in to pick up your piece and moves it slowly to its new position instead of doing it instantly. They add nothing.

I agree. 2D games should be fine with ascii graphics, and 3D games are fine with Minecraft tier graphics. anything more is a waste of CPU cycles that could be better used for a gameplay system

Sound distracts from the ultimately cerebral activity true gaming is. I am of course talking about Choose Your Own Adventure books.

I really like Far Cry 5 even with all the kidnappings people complained about and I think the idea that the cult is right and that the end of the world is coming and it's all my fault is actually pretty neat. I'm waiting to finish it before I try New Dawn but I'm not sure how much I'll like it, I hear they added enemy and weapon levels like they did with the most recent two Assassin's Creed games and it just doesn't really fit the flow of nice open world games like this.

It doesn't even remove the animations, it just removes a bunch of superfluous pauses that take place before and after them But I would prefer if XCom had an option to not zoom into the soldier's face while watching them spray bullets at a snake monster in slowmo, an animation can still play but the action should be way snappier

I love that game, but if you didn't mod out all the built in pauses and hesitations every time anything happened it could get excruciatingly slow to play for no good reason.

Farcry 5 was a letdown and a downgrade and New Dawn feels like its about 50% finished and doesn't even have the interesting tone or missions to support Far Cry's increasingly rote fps base capture gameplay.

There's also the starwars battlechess but in the end they're all just chess and you're going to watch the animations once and then turn them off.

The "thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap thwap " noise that a lot of modern shooters make when you are landing hits on other players is pretty much the best thing, and people that whine about it being unrealistic suck. Games that don't do it feel confusing and anemic now.

It seems like a lazy excuse for not having good hit feedback and/or a excuse for not having a way to sync your online hits with the effects.
