Lol, i still have no idea why Shen insists on chopping all possible limbs off people that get told to be MECs when there is clearly ample room to just put your arms and legs into the mech. Fucker just likes it.
Anyway, RIP your poo poo Beagle, thanks for being the first volunteer again, i decided your wobbly parts were the perfect offering to the XCom2 gods.

Who would turn down becoming a rad cyborg with combat mech add-ons

i have considered this myself many times and the conclusion i reach every time is that i think your mastrubatory abilities deteriorate significantly and i cannot accept that

edit: while i'm shitposting anyway, how should i set up my satellite stuff to get the capacity to cover all the countries?

I've been keeping myself in the dark about this game, but I watched these new 1hour videos from people who were invited to play the game and all I want to do is play dress-up with my soldier dolls. and touch snake tits

When is this coming out again?

When I was 8 I called my local game rental place to ask if they had Lion King for SNES and called its genre "epic" because that's how Nintendo Power described it.

Hmm, accurate though

Was thinking why you would want to hook an alien closer. Then again, you could always do roaming machete murder squads or make a mod for Evolve.

Pretty good, put some santa hats on 'em and call it a day.

I thought the point was to dehumanize them? Xcom2012 has had this subdued, cartoonish approach to violence where humans are good and aliens are bad.
I mean if they wanted they could just take soldier VO and put it through a filter or something? :shrug:

You can just put up a satellite and do a base assault to regain lost countries in LW, so losing a nation is reversible.

I hope the LW devs do well, but modders moving on to doing their own full game seem to end in disaster more often than not.

Well, they got their work cut out for them with OpenXcom, Xenonauts and Xcom 2 coming out in just a short while.

Is there another Xenonauts coming? But I doubt we'll see anything from the LW devs for a year or two anyway even if things go well.

Nah, what I mean is that OpenXcom and Xenonauts are out now and Xcom 2 just on the horizon

Actually it says right there what they're making is a grand strategy game so probably not an xcom clone.

Guess I stand corrected.

Say you're the type whole loads up their team with 2-3 assaults and run&guns through aliens on normal difficulty, would I be able to enjoy Long war or do you need to have lots of patience even on easier difficulties?

I'd guess we won't get them back in exactly the same way they were in 1 no matter what.

I mean, as it is, we've lost all the 'tanky' perks from both the Heavy and Assault trees in XCOM 1 and replaced them with Shooty/Stealthy perks.

So maybe MEC trees become Damage reduction/+movement (scouting/flanking). That could be cool, would keep MEC flavor while letting them be a new spin on the EW version.

Thinking about it, I definitely feel like the fifth class has to have some kind of defensive capabilities. They've been stripped out of most of the other classes save operatives from what we've seen so far (even super Lightning-Reflexes only helps the Ranger because it just doesn't trigger overwatch).

If the MECs are DLC what would the tank skills be though?

5th class. Mini Tank. takes up 6 squares. gains xp. upgrades to a sectopod sized walker

I wasn't thinking actual tank but sure that sounds just fine. Also it can't squeeze through tight spaces or go inside buildings.

Back Hack posted:

We did, it was a Kickstart project that got funded that wasn't anything like Jagged Alliance and as soon as the game hit early alpha the devs decided to quit and released the game before it was finished. It sucked.

So, uh, JA2 is still the go-to then I suppose?

After watching Beagle's second stream, I've come to the conclusion this game is still ridiculously fun, but it desperately needs a balance mod as it's even easier than XCOM: EU. And the concealment system needs a revision as it's not doing what it's intended to do. He was absolutely right in upping the difficulty.

Good news for babies such as myself, you'll have a to hold out hope that modding will be as easy and accessible as they claim though.

I know this is a dumb sperg complaint, but the more I see the Grenadier the more the drum magazine on their grenade launcher bothers me. You have this huge mag that holds like 6-12 grenades, but you only actually get 1 grenade in your grenade slot or 2 with a perk. It's weirdly mismatched, like the artist had no idea what they were modelling. It would have made more sense to stick with the rocket launcher where the low number of rounds seemed more natural, or just had a grenade attachment on their gun.

Gotta ration out the grenades, they don't grow on trees my friend!

I've been reading up on Gene Mods and they generally seem kind of ludicrously OP...every single one of them gives a pretty huge bonus and cost very few resources.

I just got Mimetic Skin on my sniper last night and can already tell it's going to make the game significantly easier.

edit: actually I just checked again and mimetic skin actually does cost a significant chunk of change. Still, you can get big bonuses for $10-$25.

It's less the cash and more the meld that's the big investement there though, isn't it?

It would be a bigger deal if that soldier you've invested heavily into died, but we know you're not going to let that happen :v:

I tend to be bad when it comes to savescumming, but when someone misses a quite important 90% shot I get mad enough to let them die (sometimes won't even bother with healing them if they bleed out) because gently caress you, I'm not going to play time traveller just to figure out how to get out of this situation you've created.

The added variety in soldiers should make a Wall of Shame much more appealing for me too.
