Looking forward to this. If I forgot to mention it in the character creation, my face paint could be the sharpshooter one, but no matter if not. I hope to be a useful, if a bit crazy addition to the squad.

Hey, good job guys.  This is every bit as entertaining as I expected so far. Casualties are to be expected, I just hope I will live long enough to make a difference.My character does not have backstory sadly, just a mysterious lunatic who showed up one day to fight aliens. Possibly escaped from a mental institution up north. Possibly dangerous. How many troopers have you got in your roster so far? You might need a few.

If you see electronic advertising boards on the game map, they have faces of wanted criminals on them. Namely, the people from your roster. Neat detail.

Beaten to the punch, but: This must have been an early plot/tutorial mission of sorts. Normally missions don't lead to game over screens when you fail the mission. Bummer. Rolling with failures is very much a part of the game, so enjoy that. If some bloodied lump of flesh manages to crawl back to the evac zone at the end of a mission, it can be considered a success of sorts.

Please take a note for the future, Natural20: If I get to join your squad and if you were to promote one sniper to be a pistol specialist, I would love to have my character be a pistol dude. Just to spread my love of revolvers in this game. They don't need reloading, can also use special ammo like the bigger guns, will later get more shots per turn et cetera. In the right hands, they can wreck face. A high-ranked pistol specialist is a nice thing to have in your team. (Not that there is anything wrong with the rifle specialists you have.) Good job on the missions so far.

That was a great mission (to watch). This game is a meatgrinder, casualties are to be expected. That is why you train rookies to join the team. Just wait until you lose your best Colonel on a mission, that will sting. The despair you feel when the game drops some bullshit situation in your lap is partly countered by elation when you pull off a seemingly impossible success. Xcom 2 is a bit of a rollercoaster like that. By success I mean having some survivors limp home at the end.

It's alright, you're doing good work. Buy more random rookies to throw into the machinery and crank the handle. It's how heroes are made. Or was it sausage? Whatever.

They did not even look at bluescreen protocol.  Aaand they are still taking shelter behind cars, the one true enemy.  Otherwise good, hope still lives. Those new guns should be nice to have once you make them.

Oh man.  My late stage campaign hit a death spiral of doom. "CIA" Dillon had been pushing too many pencils and got shot by an Andromedan . From then on it was a downward trajectory, losing important people on every mission. We fought like hell but in the end it became hopeless. gently caress having multiple sectopods on a mission. gently caress sectopods in general. gently caress the sectopod that killed my top Colonel in particular. Let's hope Nat and Tea have more success than me. (If it's any comfort I was playing on Veteran difficulty.)

Excellent work on that mission, Nat and Tea. We now interrupt the regular programming with a public service announcement. I'll just add this message here to those who have missed it elsewhere on the forums in the past days. There are threads stickied in GBS and elsewhere so I won't start a new one: Please do your civic duty and donate to our invertebrate overlord Lowtax. He needs to grow a new spine after the old one fell apart at the neck (WTF? That can happen? Welcome, new nightmares!) and the healthcare bills are a bitch since he is in the USA. Your money can help keep Something Awful alive; if you have enjoyed having it around, put some goodwill and currency over there: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/GamingGarbage Direct donate through SA: https://secure.somethingawful.com/products/donate.php I will throw some money his way at some point since these forums are a good thing to have. Here's hoping his head doesn't fall off from lack of vertebra or that he doesn't collapse into a boneless puddle of flesh some day. Fight against entropy and donate.
