Has anyone found any good coupon codes yet, or are we looking at full price on steam as our best purchase option?

27PERC-OFFXCO-M2GAME good for 27% off at GMG is probably the lowest you will see it go for a while.

It does seem a little weird that they deem it finished enough for Beagle to go forth and show their baby to the world but sufficiently unfinished that they won't even let us pre-load yet.

...What even happens in the last few days of AAA (...well, maybe AA for X-COM. I'm sure they have resources but they're not COD or anything) game dev, anyway? Just days of non-stop, hardcore smoke tests and frantically coding patches for anything that breaks?

They're all watching Beagles stream in order to see how he breaks the game and what to patch out. At least thats what I want to believe all the 2k employees that were in the stream today were doing :banjo:

Hey, turdburglar, some of us might have gone to GMG's site and seen the key, and there it's smushed right together, thanks for playing.


Also, if it seems like it's crashing Steam to add the DLC key, just clicking WAIT FOR PROGRAM TO RESPOND worked for me, after waiting a bit for the program to respond.

Both the website and the email separate them on different lines to prevent people from having this confusion. No need for insults commando. See you in the 'verse!

Also is anybody getting some FPS issues? I can more or less max out Witcher 3 and get close to 60 fps, but I try and max out this and get stuck with 30 or worse. Maybe this isn't quite as optimized.

Its funny, I have a 2500k/8gb/570 gtx from like 5 years ago and it is running the game great. I will get some frame issues on the drop but otherwise its smooth as butter. Try turning down the FXAA or something.

gently caress. That. poo poo.

What the gently caress is the point of tactics and careful planning and positioning if you have to rush through stuff?

How am I supposed to get Alien Alloys? I've seen it as a random reward from a terminal hack once in about a dozen missions and it's never come up anywhere else.

I want better gear dammit!

You can buy them from the black market and get them as drops and as as investigation sites or from excavating out your avenger. I've never seemed low on them but I was also stuck doing probably a ton of extra missions because everyone kept loving dying or getting gravely wounded so it was impossible to progress.

Seriously gently caress those octopus eggs

Something is buggy. Enemies aren't doing anything on missions anymore. The past two they've just stood still and let me wander through killing them. Has this been brought up before? It doesn't make playing very fun.

Save your game and then close the game and relaunch. THat fixed that for me.

I just had the greatest thing ever happen. Encountered a pod of 7 chryssalids and a gatekeeper. popped my last grenade got them to about 6 or 7 hp each and had 4 other dudes go to town on the gatekeeper. then had my hanzo steel wielding ranger pop reaper and killed all of them in one turn. i am so sad i wasnt recording that.

So I don't know if this is a weird thing anyone else noticed. I killed a advent trooper with a grenade and it said his loot was destroyed. He was then raised as a zombie and I killed the zombie and it dropped loot. Does the game make a different loot roll for zombies or is this a way to possibly get exploded items back?

Why on earth can you only use those intel options on the ADVENT Network TOwer mission? It feels like that would be really neat to have available all the time.Like have it roll random bonuses or something.

right after i posted my stream i had to do some stuff and everyone bailed haha. I get it, but i'm going at it again and i'm gonna run out and get an energy drink but generally ill be up all night so if you want to see someone terrible play xcom on a difficulty way above his skill level, /id/horsse Hipster Terrorist will be at it again very shortly, and if you like bernie i've starded a goons4bernie steam group for plaing games and watching others play games.

I know it sounds lame and all but I want to foster a community around the bernie cult on SA and I like streaming xcom while talking about bernie so http://steamcommunity.com/groups/Goons4Bernie is the page and my stream is technically accessible but will be active again in 10 or so minutes. Promise this will be my last post unless i'm proven wrong in my assumption this will be a afailure.

You never actually posted your stream link though?

From how I gather it works in steam, the stream is accessed through the profile of the player or from an option on their name on the friends list. admittedly, i am new at this.

So, my bad if i'm loving up.
