XCOM General - /xcg/

Because he is literally a lanky goblin user. No need to be so rude, you can't just ask why someone looks the way they do.

Throw in Grenade Fall Off Damage

>that tuft of hair
christ beagle, sort yourself out

have some pride, man

ayy lmao

implying he would let that reach the internet

Codices in their natural habitat. A mexican farm in the middle of nowhere.

Ayy lmao.

Another happy day at Xcom.

He doesn't look so bad from the front, but I'm sure if you'd view him from any angle but head-on, you'd start to notice his narrow jaw and chin more.

I never noticed this before, but where is the dog's head?

Someone should find where he lives, hold him at gunpoint and then shave his beard off and upload it to /xcg/.

>Enemy that drops their own ready made trophies
Beautiful

Its bending back towards his top arm, its just hard to see with the blur.

Did they get deported? :^)

I don't think you can upload a bunch of hair to the internet, user.

How would you even upload a beard?

Not with that attitude.

soundcloud.com/gillsberry/my-people-have-suffered

Make it a soldier customization option.

Please do not do that to our supreme Commander

But it already is. Beagle has confirmed that the beard and his face without the beard are accurate to life recreations.

What. When?

On stream. He was messing with his in-game character and went on to detail (after removing the beard briefly) how he went in to Firaxis so they could get his likeness and he was shocked at how well she did the face (what it looks like without the beard).

Last time he stream XCOM 2. He was giving us a tour of Beagle-rookie and took the beard off and told us how Firaxis made an accurate representation of his head from just a few pictures. He then gave Beagle-rookie Bradfords rifle and killed X2.

Do you have a general time into the stream when it happens?

Not off the top of my head.

Sometime around the end. That's all I can say.

Alright so I'm finally gonna start a Long War campaign with intent to finish it this time. Just normal ironman because I am not good. Only changes are a reduction of aircraft transfer time and weapon re-arm time, everything else will be unmodified.
Turning on New Economy, Commander's Choice, and Durability. Starting in Nigeria because gotta go fast I am addicted to speed. Probably nothing interesting will happen.

Wish me luck /xcg/

Do dynamic war or else you're never going to finish

>Mall map
>More then a blue move away from cover
Ack, hate this map. Anyway my starting lineup:
Jack O'Neill, Beaglerush (ayy lmao), Paiva, Big Ol'Aarbear, Comodoretrek, and Neimiah

If I finished PirateZ, I can finish Long War. Or at least length won't be the issuethat's what she said. At least that's what i tell myself.

>finally got some new classes for this run
>oh look, starting ability: commissar
>what does this one do
>pic related
this is not ok

Why would you even want that?

kek

BRUISER WHEN

Almost a perfect mission, but I done goofed. Kind of surprising considering every pod activated before I had even killed one.

I noticed that too.

I mean, in what conceivable stretch would you ever execute one of your own soldiers?

Literally for the memes. Either that or the Long War alien pack will introduce enemies with permanent mind control.

wat mod

Pretty sure that's the Long War perk pack

>tfw you kill 5 ayys without breaking concealment with 1 soldier

This spec ops class is insane.

Stabbing ayys left and right in the jungle

[vigilo confido intensifies]

For the first round of base management, I'm building an elevator, excavating one spot, building a satellite control, a satellite, a motion tracker, and starting xenobiology.

The 2nd mission is the dam map from Portent, and my lineup is Sun Tzu, Ms Overwatch Bait, Voyboy, Davy Crockett, Freckled Buckler, and Amestub. I brough alot of AP since it was a roadway map.

Oh my

I feel like this got teased ages ago. Is it finally happening?

Someone's been porting over heads, but this is the first time someone ported over all the clothes

steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=734716688

Got uploaded while I was busy watching Jason Bourne

More civilian clothing in XCOM 2 when

>steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=734716688
Cool

>Bourne
I'm assuming the new one. Did you enjoy it?

I actually haven't seen any of the other Bourne films but yeah it's the new one

I kinda liked it, but my eyes hurt from the chaotic camera scenes in the first 30 minutes

2nd mission was flawless, no one even hurt for armor damage and managed to recover some of the meld. Its a good start to the campaign, I'll take the momentum into tomorrow hopefully.

>run up to an ayy point blank

>hit chance isn't good enough to actually take the shot

wow

literally what is the point of firearms in this game if they never actually hit anything

>Wanting rookies to ever have guaranteed shots
Then what's the fucking point of ranking up?

>replay XCOM 2 for the first time since launch
>all the difficulty shit, ABA++ blah blah blah
>lose interest fairly quickly
>take several weeks to finish campaign due to lack of interest

>want to play long dong again
>boot up my old save
>at geoscape with a council bomb removal mission waiting
>only like my D team in terms of fatigue and shit

>get in mission
>Leviathan Mechtoid
>2 warmaster heavy floaters
>super muton elite leader
>greater hive queen
>2 ethereals

It's good to be back.

>implying any of them can rank up when they miss 100% of their shots

>explode anything ever on the map
>movement HUD disappears
>cover markers disappear
>ALIENS DISAPPEAR

Why the fuck can't this game handle cover destruction at all? Every time I use a grenade, I have to get up and go get a coffee or something because it takes a whole literal fucking real life minute for it to figure out what the fuck is going on and let my soldiers see aliens again.

I haven't had that issue so idk

Because whatever they did to the unreal engine between EW and XCOM 2 was absolute SHIT in terms of performance, and the game is even buggier than EW was.

I-I was talking about EU.

Does XCOM 2 manage to be even fucking worse?

ignore him, he's still salty about the game not being optimized at launch day

I assumed you meant X2 when I said I wasn't having that problem.

FIX YOUR GAME JAKE IT IS STILL BUGGY AND UNOPTIMIZED YOU FUCKING KIKE

Why would you NOT be salty that something you paid 90$ for isn't actually finished?

I've finally admitted to myself that Xcom 2 is not what I thought it would be. It just isn't good.

Fuck Advent. They're dull and boring as shit. I hate fighting them and they're not satisfying. I want to kill aliens not humans. Killing a single sectoid in Xcom EU is more satisfying than killing an entire levels worth of Advent. I'm sick of killing the same 3 faggots every single mission.

fuck xcom 2

...

To be fair Advent are aliens, but I get what you mean.

The game is just boring. I miss killing popcorn heads. Also the game is buggy as shit, STILL. And the DLC has all been really really bad.

Even with all the mods its not as fun as EW and the story is pants on head retarded. Really really stupid. There were endless faggots defending it before release too

Someone in the last thread was talking about a mod that removes advent and balances the game around fighting only aliens. Does anyone have a link to that?

I disagree, except about the fuck advent part.

Advent should've disappeared as you went further into the game, or they should've become cannon fodder and meat shields for the ayys, the whole "heavy, elite, advanced" or whatever versions of advent should not exist.

>Advent should've disappeared as you went further into the game,
Fuck no, one of the things I hate most about XCOM EU/EW is that the actually interesting early game enemies get replaced by boring as fuck mutons that are basically just XCOM Rookies with 120 Aim and better gear. Even Sectopods aren't interesting compared to discs and drones because of discs actually having interesting dynamics. And mutons are a relief once they replace thin men with their bullshit (but actually tactically interesting) poison spit and jumpy legs.

How did that go?

Ayy...

this lil nigga gonna die right

actually all 3 of them missed their shots and one of them got picked off

>it's five fucking real [your country] dollars just to change armor colors in EU
>you can get around it with three lines in an .ini file

/xcg/ will defend this

GIVE JAKE MONEY

Literally an XCOM 2 Sectoid.

>original xcoms - sectoids were smol and cute
>enemy unknown - sectoids were smol and cute
>xcom 2 - sectoids are normal-sized and not cute
>/xcg/ will defend this

oh I won't.
Trust me, Pectoids are my biggest disappointment when it comes to 2.

original ayy remnants in XCOM 2 when

>implying pectoids aren't cute

Disgusting human get out, GET OUT! REEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Vahlen From The Deep better have oldtoids.

Optimization is honestly a huge can of worms and I'm not too mad if it takes a little while to do even after launch.

>b-but this other game was super-optimized at launch

Different teams are better at different things, some have a better understanding of the engine, some simply have different feature sets, XCOM 2 was inefficient at launch, but it wasn't unfinished.

On the plus side, Xcom2 has never crashed on me. Although, the first time i got to the last mission i restarted the game myself after the last room turned into a disco because i thought it was melting my computer.

As it turns out, it was just the game not being able to handle so many ayys.

>tfw you start to miss LW

Is there any point wasting resources on workshops and Labs early game on Legendary?

>There are people who unironically believe that Long war is better than XCAM2

I really miss Cyberdisks.

Gatekeepers just aren't the same.

>there are people that have differing opinons

>There are people with terrible opinions

>there are people with opinions that differ from MINE

>People think it's about differing opinions
>Its just about a bad opinion
>Like thinking tits are better than ass
>Or being pro-skub

It's pretty important with how long things take to research in Legendary. But workshops don't give efficiency bonuses so using them is entirely dependent on your engineer numbers and strategy.

I can tell that XCOM2 is better, but believe me if Long War ain't richer.
