ImpAtom posted:That doesn't feel like an unfair claim to me. "That's X-COM!" isn't for everyone and the fact that you can lose due to random chance can be frustrating to people. It's a fair thing to mention in a review. One of his bad points was "i missed a 95% shot". That alone is worth ridiculing.

Pyromancer posted:Probably specialist, has most overwatch-related skills on it: That last one is going to be really good for flanking moves. Move a guy over and flank 2 or more dudes, he shoots one and then you aid protocol him. The other one is pretty much hosed. It also has a lot of synergy with that ranger skill which makes the next shot against the guy miss. Now they can't just shoot him to remove the overwatch. It looks like they've really took a good look at the skills. Although chain shot just seems like a really lovely rapid fire.

I thought the go to tactic was to just load everyone up with arc throwers and take the weapons from the enemy?Furism posted:Steam won't automatically start downloading the game once it's available, right? I'm traveling until the 6th and it'd be great if I could come home and start playing XCOM2 straight away because I left the computer on. You can get teamviewer on your phone these days.

Tae posted:Does Beagle not like the melee options? I didn't watch the whole thing, but sword didn't seem that great when you can use another grenade launcher dude. Sword guys get a bunch of really cool movement based skills, can take out entire squads later on and blademaster will let them kill baby chryssalids stupid enough to charge them in one hit. Beagle is just going for the sure thing. Explosives remove cover and the majority of enemies use cover.

Tae posted:Looking at the sniper skills, it seems you can make a dedicated pistol guy be a huge mainline damage dealer. Being able to open up on a patrol and hit every single one of them, with one dude is worth it alone. Kanos posted:I'll probably do the opposite and start every ranger as a concealment ranger and then respec a guy or two into blademasters later. Some of the high end sword tree skills create some absolutely loving crazy synergy that could potentially make Swordman a shitwrecker, but early on the concealment stuff looks way stronger. Yeah but swords are FUN. I'm going to be doing a marathon stream once this game comes out (from monday onwards, my girlfriend would kill me otherwise), so we'll see how hilarious swords will be when a sleep deprived player weighs the odds of being safe against RULES OF NATURE. E: VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV Don't forget later on the sword gives you 100% dodge chance plus the ability to stab someone, then relocate back behind cover. Sword rangers are going to be 95% of my deaths aren't they? dogstile fucked around with this message at 17:58 on Feb 2, 2016 |

Hang on a loving second. Overwatch - Covering fire shoots enemies before they shoot your dude. You can still do the beaglestrat, you just need covering fire, hahaha.

Jabor posted:All well and good if you wipe them out with your overwatch fire - but if you could guarantee that, you don't lose anything by engaging on your turn anyway. I suppose it depends on whether covering fire prioritises enemies that are shooting over enemies that are running. Looks like we'll have to do some tests  Sorry Rookies

Jesus christ gently caress the faceless, you're going to transform on your turn and slash my dude next to the car. Oh its ok he's alive still. OH NO THE loving CAR BLEW UP gently caress YOU, gently caress YOU AND YOUR STUPID loving FACE. I love this game. MadJackMcJack posted:That's pretty much where I got the idea.

Hahaha, very first fight of a mission, i pull two pods and everyone bites it, except my support and my unconscious demo guy. The support picks up the demo guy, books it to the objective, unlocks it, gets the VIP out, picks up the unconscious dude again and runs it back to the evac point. Mission succeeded. I loving love this game.

Is anyone else having the faceless just randomly turn and swipe your guys? I usually ignore the civvys for the aliens, but i was in the middle of a firefight with a few troopers and he just spawned. Nobody was near him, enemies were still alive. E: Also I kind of like having my blokes get grabbed by the snaketits because the damage is poo poo and it takes the snaketits out of the fight until i'm ready to deal with it, poisons way more annoying.

Just finished the game, spoilers abound That ending fight was a loving nightmare. I mind controlled a gatekeeper to take it in with me, it turned during the fight and murdered some of my guys. That was a loving fantastic last level though. It's a shame they didn't mention anything about the contagion that they'd put into the books, but I don't care to much. They've definitely set up for a TFTD expansion dogstile fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Feb 9, 2016 |

PaybackJack posted:The first time you fight every enemy in the game, except maybe Mutons, there's a moment of "gently caress this enemy is bullshit" I remember being mind controlled on my first mission and flipping my poo poo. The Codex, the Big Daddy(they can call it whatever they want, we know what it is), the Sectopod, Snakemen, Stun Lancers, even the freaking Shield Advent. My best trooper was a blademaster. I'm going to try on one legendary next but its just fine on any non-insane mode.

Speedball posted:Missions that have a "hack the target" objective often have a hack stat raising bonus in the objective item. You can find chests in advent buildings, which I assume is to convince you to fight through them, rather than over them. I only ever found the one though. Harrow posted:I can't even get hacking stats, because I've never rolled high enough on the mission-objective hacks to get a bonus. It's absurd. What's the point of speccing this guy as a hacker if there's no chance of ever succeeding at a hack on an enemy unit? It does seem a like a crapshoot, but if you can kill a mec your turn either way, try to control it anyway. If it doesn't succeed you kill it, if it does you have a scout/portable mimic beacon.

Apparently flashbangs completely disable melee. This is hilarious when used on a berserker or a faceless. It's also super handy against stun lancers! E: Final mission question The commanders avatar doesn't let you keep mind control permanently, but i hear normal PSI trooper domination does.
