If your dps can't keep up with the adds you need to get people that don't suck :mad:

Edit: What happens if you fail the last mission in XCOM 2? In EU if you failed it, the game was nice enough to let you restart from its beginning, even on an Ironman save.

It just asks you if you want to restart it iirc. If you've got that many you probably didnt kill the first 2 avatars quick enough or your dudes just suck. Get more psi troopers and mind contol andromedons and have your own personal meat shields and sometimes shoots where you want them too.

I did it. I beat your game Jake Solomon.

Running 2 medical specialists all the time let me basically never lose a soldier because I'd have 8 single heals and 2 full squad heals every mission. I also got tracer rounds and acid grenades from the very first geoscape mission which really helped my early game not suck so much. The big thing I was sad about was the timer eventually forced me to do the final mission because I ran out of facilities to decrease it while I was training up 6 psi troopers to have every skill.

Ah, so that does happen? That was my plan too until I eventually realized 6 psi troopers was gonna be ridiculously easy and I decided I wanted to take my original 4 on the final mission anyway.

I think I got up to 85 missions before just saying gently caress it.

Yeah, I just ran out of ways to decrease the timer, it was kinda annoying. I think if I was going to do it again I'd build more skulljacks and skullmine more guys for the alien base intel. That or start psi rushing earlier. I also wonder if they don't build facilities as much if you have the entire world covered. I ended the game with like, 30,000 supplies and 1200 intel so I didn't need that stuff. Or just give me a second psi lab, I build a lab and defensive matrix just for shits and giggles. You don';t really need all the spaces.

Just ran into my first gatekeeper on a random dark event counter run. With 7 Archons in his pod. No worries. 3 blaster launchers later that problem solved itself. I think I'm over geared.

What mods are you running to get an 8 alien pod?

I feel like if they put 2 or 3 more turns it woulda been perfect. It just felt like you always need just a liiiiiitle longer to not really worry

I stopped watching it because holy poo poo has he leaned into the worst facecam gimmicks in the last few years.

Also he started his stream literally doing color commentary over someone on youtube critiquing his show from the previous week. For almost a goddamn hour.

how do you hate wizard steve? joinrbs is probably the most knowledgeable dude about how the game works out there at this point

Let me know when some one puts it in a read-able article. I really don't want to sit through another youtube video.

Yeah this. This trend towards video only content is loving miserable. I get that it's how they sell ads but it's getting intolerable and I'm already ad blocking them anyway.

The even better part was this was Jade's greatest game ever. He was playing on the hardest difficulty and lost 2 fully built out bases and something like 350 casualties and still beat the game. Theres a gif of it around somewhere.

found it

Really? Like every recent expansion pack I've bought has been priced around that.

Not really if you're not talking about blizzard games. They are usually 19.99 or 29.99. It feels like its about 10 bucks to high tome.

I'd say check out xwynns or joinrbs for a much much more up to date idea of what the game is like now

weird, steam says it unlocks in 1 day and 5 hours. I woulda assumed either a midnight pst or the usual 10am unlock time. Any idea why its 9pm on the 28th instead?

Depends on what tomorrow means to you. Far as I know, it's always been scheduled for release on the 29th.



i mean steam for me and gmg and stuff said the 28th and that was what I was thinking it had been for a while. However I am so conditioned for Tuesday releases that I assumed the 28th was a tuesday and not monday.
