Dan you really got me worried there.

Also what kind of bullshit is that loss condition? "Oh one advent dude got onto the ship, guess we're done for, it's not like there are like a dozen other soldiers armed to the teeth ready to blast the skull off anyone who even peeks into the Avenger, too bad."

Dan, sine Luca has solace, he could have rescued Jane both turns. Like, just move him up, and she's revived and no longer mind controlled.

It's hard to pick the MVP on that mission, even your advent elite boi was pretty good. Got a crit, nearly killed that priest, and distracted those spectres for ages while everyone else retreated to the avenger.

Aussie, on the other hand, wasn't having a good day at all.

Feels weird to read this and hear the episode start with “they didn’t have anymore vicar’s cross”.

Also, if you don’t want to do those box collecting missions it counts as a win if you get one box and then nope the gently caress out of there! But whatever nightmare happened instead is probably more fun to watch.

I like em too. It's a different race against the clock, and it's fun to snatch a box from Advent that they had marked, as a gently caress you ADVENT thing.

I actually don't mind them myself, but was saying it more thinking that the mission going hellishly wrong was the shitshow in question, i.e. you could probably have bailed from whatever emergency arose. But there's really no escaping the PS4 just deciding to melt/freeze/render people several tiles to the left so that you move them wrong and they die out of cover. (if that seems overly specific, it's from FairGame's LP of the game)

I'd been thinking about getting the Switch version of this game actually, since I don't have a PC capable of running it smoothly. I may do it and report back.

yeah one of the problems of X2 is that there are just SO MANY MISSION TYPES

you never really get a chance to get comfortable with them all

EW was nice in that there was basically just regular "kill everything" missions, UFO crashes, 2 types of EXALT, and the occasional bullshit council escort thin man fiesta. iirc fewer plot missions too those kinda suck in X2.

Can you use claymores to blow up the outside wall of the jail cell? Or are you forced to do the hack and leave via the front door again?

Dunno about claymores, but I've used the plasma blaster to make a nice door. Aim it right and you can even obliterate the inner wall and wall between cells and skip opening the regular door. So there is some amount of environmental damage that can break the walls.
