SpookyLizard posted:I"ve said it before and I'll say it again: Cheat. Stuff from the DLC is neat, but it's not worth the aggravation that is the alien rulers.There's a kill command in the console, but I kinda always preferred toggling UnlimitedActionPoints and venting some frustration by shotgunning it repeatedly in the face. Wait, alien rulers are DLC? I'm pretty sure I'm running vanilla. Edit: oh, huh, I guess I have the alien hunters DLC, too.

FYI everyone: the Dale Gribble voice pack mod in the Steam workshop is truly a work of art.

Does run & gun on a sharpshooter mean they can do a blue move and still fire their rifle?

And if you're big into RPGO, Musashi just released a new update with some new Second Wave options, in this case the ones that make all of your guys a random combination of primary and secondary weapon specialisations instead of the whole list. So that's nice, you now have essentially all characters being their own class. EDIT: you may want to give it some time to wring out a few bugs and kinks however.

Seems like a smaller game to experiment with changes to the tactical gameplay. The focus of the changes seems to be to suppress the alpha-strike centric gameplay from XCOM 2, so it'll be interesting to see how effective that is. Also I'm super impressed if that's what the world looks like 5 years after XCOM 2. Fangz fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Apr 14, 2020 |

Huh, looks neat. We got a couple human agents, a pectoid, a muton and a viper in the screenshots. The only thing missing is a robot. Im totally down. Zore fucked around with this message at 15:30 on Apr 14, 2020 |

I am all in for X-COPs. The breach mechanics seems like a natural evolution of setting up ambushes from XCOM2. The urban setting and I assume more streamlined missions would probably be their way to design out the focus on pod activation or avoidance in favour of more defined encounters.

And theres the robots, though I am a little disappointed they're just stand ins for downed agent I'm also looking a bit at the combat barks 'I made the arrest!' as the enemy rag dolls from being shot in the head multiple times.

I can’t help but feel the name is poking fun at Phoenix Point. But it looks interesting, and a post-Advent game setting is neat.

100% down for more XCOM but I don't love that they're relegating the end of the war to a spin-off, what's up with that? It's the same thing Wolfenstein did with Young Blood, here's this massive cliffhanger and whoopsie the next game just skips over a bunch of important stuff.

I am guessing XCOM 3 will be years after this with the opening cutscene being "We won and integrated with the aliens but there's a terror from the deep now" as a lobster shoots a muton

Speaking of, I wonder how the Reapers fit into the integrated society, given the whole "eating mutons" thing. I'd peg them as the human insurgents, but who knows.

So....basically you're now ADVENT? Like humans working with Aliens to take out an insurgency? Yeah, I so sure Volk and Geist have no issues whatsoever with that.

A couple important points I noticed from the Steam page 6-minute video (edit: same as the Gameplay Overview video linked above): - looks like we're gonna have a fixed squad this time, with no recruitment; - all agents are different, so no snek squad; - no agent deaths allowed, bleeding is guaranteed and anyone in the squad bleeding out is instant gameover.

Holy poo poo, did people know this was coming? I was subscribed to the X-com YouTube channel only to see a new X-com game is about to drop. I can run X-com 2 on my microsoft surface pro 4 just fine this game looks like it's using the same engine? Could anyone that understands computer specs better than me let me know if this will run? I want to buy it so bad.

My hype for this is intense. $10 only and launching 10 days from now? Crazy! No soldier renaming and such, and obviously a bit more limited in scope, but it looks awesome. I'm also really hoping they're using this to field-test new ideas for X-COM 3
