You guys are taking me along this time? Right? Wait Shaundi is going? This is bullshit man!

While I get the complaints about Disney/Marvel I'm mildly interested in the idea, even more so if they were to dive into the broader universe than Avengers did with it's playable characters.

The game I somehow wish they'd be working on is X-Com: Pacific Rim though.

I tried playing Phoenix Point today and jfc it is too slow. I can't even press TAB to switch to other soldiers while one is climbing a loving ladder; game makes me watch every agonizing second of these boring assholes moving around.

phoenix point is not super good, even despite its continual improvement over the last year and change, but: you can speed up the animations in the options, which helps a little

They should make an XCOM based on The Boys instead where you have to find creative ways to take down shitlord supes.

X-com but pulled out to the advanced squad leader scale so you have multiple craft taking troops into battle and more interesting rural setting combat

So serious question: I still only play on baby mode so it doesn’t affect me much, but is there any chance Disney won’t make them reduce the difficulty? Will Disney allow a game where a 95% shot misses and Loki gets a flanked crit that evaporates his health bar?

It plays a little more like a puzzle game than XCOM because the encounters aren’t random, but I had a lot of fun chain-sliding enemies and making them explode.

Playing Xcom EW because my brain is broken and I wanna get all the achievements. Air war still sucks. Does anybody have the 'infected' achievement or whatever, the one where you get it by playing with someone who's already infected? I can do the rest pretty much naturally but that one seems hard. Can't imagine anyone is playing EW multiplayer.

Check out this Steam thread. There's folks that have it that are still willing to play and spread it. https://steamcommunity.com/app/200510/discussions/0/3596571824768688363/?ctp=110

It's going to pay off eventually--I'm sure of it.

Any day now.

I always wondered what the deal with that achievement was. Who had it to start with? Are they just playing “how many degrees of XCOM?” to connect back to the devs themselves or whoever?

I have that achievement and I don't know where I got it from. I think I only ever played multiplayer one time, maybe zero times.

The devs started with it and set out to infect the community, probably at least partially for metrics on multiplayer. And apparently it was successful enough they kept it in 2 :shrug:
