Kinda sucks that there are no robbit or MEC agents in Chimera, or they didn't use it as an opportunity to sneak back in Celatids or something as fan service and have it be voiced by Norm McDonald.

I'm actually really excited for this game. It seems like a nice side project they did to have fun (key word there is seems). If it is great, I hope it too comes to the Switch. Been itching for a good XCOM like on the Switch. Hard West was OK. Not great but it gave me a good amount of hours of fun. I got it on sale for like $2, so for that price it was worth it.

 Oh dear god why. Running Bio Advent, World War L, and The Hive mods, in addition to 280 others. Bio vipers exploded like grenades, calling hordes. Into the Crysallid Hive. Who infected the lost. Who spawned more chysallids. With advent throwing grenades into lost packs. Who summoned more Lost. drawing in Howlers. Who drew in more lost. Who ran into more Chrysallids.

I finished XCom 2 for the first time a couple weeks back and I just came back and beat WOTC today. I gotta say, on the same difficulty, WOTC was easier, but the gameplay was more varied and the different missions and enemies you faced was fun. What breaks the game in the later game is that the weapons you get from beating the Chosen are absolutely insane. The Chosen Sniper Rifle lets you move and attack, it gives you 3 auto reloads and is just all around insane. I beat the final level without sustaining a single hit. I killed two of the Avatars from overwatch traps. That felt cathartic after how insanely difficult beating them on Vanilla was. Great timing for Chimera's release!

gods, but I miss the way you equipped soldiers in X-COM, especially compared to how nightmarishly clunky XCOM 2 is about it. Did you make a new rifle? Sweet! Go find one specific soldier and click into their loadout, then on the weapon, and equip it. Meanwhile X-COM: did you get a new gun? Sweet, go to the skyranger and toss it in the loadout with everything else. When your soldiers deploy into a mission, drop it onto someone and go. There's no chance to forget to equip it provided you toss it into the communal pool, and even if you DO forget, your soldiers can literally go and get it from the skyranger. This also extends to how annoying it is to get, say, 5 of the new gun. Build each one individually, equip them individually. Meanwhile X-COM: buy 1 gun? Why not buy 5? Throw them all in the skyranger! Everyone gets a new gun!

The closest I can think of are the Alien Hunters weapons, but you're not exactly supposed to be decking your whole squad out in Shadowkeepers or w/e.

Yeah, I don't like the changes they made to Mutons and Sectoids to make them look 'friendlier' or whatever. :/ Mesadoram posted:I'm actually really excited for this game.

I mean, I'd imagine they're doing it to see how things are received before considering implementing them in XCOM 3 as opposed to fun.

It's hard to emote with glowing, iris-less eyes and if they're going for the approach of "the Aliens were enslaved and are people too just like us" it makes sense

There's some uncanny valley poo poo going on where it looks kind of like a human but is obviously very much not one Also I find that kind of design cowardly. Good writing can make you connect and emote with stuff no matter how alien it looks. Changing stuff to look more human is just a cheap shortcut.

Like it is 100% the reason XCOM 2 went with squad level upgrades because it helped cut down on stuff you needed to care about equipping on an individual basis to ensure effective combat effectiveness without needing to overhaul the general UI design.

I'm waiting until reviews come out, but otherwise I'll probably buy it right away, especially at that price. I've been in something of a videogame funk since beating Doom Eternal and something new should hopefully pull me out of it.

It's weird people seemed to doubt you could lose on the strategy layer. I was pretty sure they'd said you can if panic means your funding gets pulled and YOU'RE OFF THE FORCE HAND IN YOUR GUN AND BADGE!skaianDestiny posted:https://www.gameinformer.com/exclusive-interview/2020/04/22/firaxis-on-how-chimera-squad-ties-into-the-larger-xcom-universe Warning: This game is canon.
