>XCOM 2's trophy list on the PS4

Literally impossible to get everything.

Same here.

>Literally impossible
To casuals, yes.

What are the elements that are impossible to get?

>>Actually forgetting about Mech Warrior.

Yeah. I seriously Derped there.

Probably refers to this one :

Exquisite Timing

Beat the game on Commander+ difficulty by July 1st

Its ok I forgive

You cannot possibly be serious.

Look it up, it's real.

user. Are you memeing me or do you actually not understand what you need to do ti get that achievement?

Oh.

I'll just be going now.

...

WHERE

Be wary of Muton proctologists

She crossed over and is living in our reality now.

LIES

She is somewhere in the world happily doing experiments on ayys.

I'm glad you agree with me.

During Retaliation does the Civilian counter counts the Faceless or not?

I want to know if I need to substract 2 from my possible saves.

no it doesn't
if you where to remove the fog of war at the start of the mission you would see more civies than what the counter says

Unethical experiments?

First for restraint while using explosives!

Are you the famed black samurai?

Oh thank god, I thought the thread had died before hitting bump limit again.

The ayys haven't killed us yet!

Yeah, we have a 95% chance of hitting the bump limit!

...

Rude.

>What do you want in XCOM 3?

...

I'll that question, but I have a more important one first.
Why do people save images as .gif(s)?

...

Great, another Mass Effect mod.

well with ADVENT having dismantled earth's governments, all that would remains is ADVENT's former dummy companies, each now running its own agenda for money and power, XCOM stuck having to bribe these nations under copy-right for funding, in addition to whatever primary threat exists, those scattered remains of the ADVENT Hybrids and aliens that mentally broke without their programming would be a constant menace, which would continue to hurt the newborn relations between the liberated alien slaves and the humans, on top of that the Learning AI of the Sparks has become more advanced then anyone suspected possible.

Top fucking kek

LOBSTERS

I would assume because the image is less than 256 colors and .gif saves space on disk while retaining lossless quality in that case.

Thanks

I really hope you keep posting here. You are a treasure.

I should have seen that coming.

I have a confession to make

I savescum hacks

I don't follow

having it go back to old xcom style

aliencucks OUT

Chryssalids are not salvageable, they aren't even sapient

>being a pleb-tier console casual memer
but honestly, TUs are a bit annoying and I would like to see a fusion between aliens in pods of 1 and pods of 3-4 only. like a smart AI that actually defended its objectives as soon as the first shots were fired and made you play tactically

I just really enjoy people posting passionately on this board. Thanks for adding to my screencap collection earlier.

...

...

Endless mode with no fucking timer.

REMEMBER KIDS ALIENS MUST HANG

Take Apoc and shove it completely into the new system. Everything but the shitty art style.

...

If it wasn't for their insane speed I would have called that alien design Edgy McGoofy.

FPS airgame??

XCOM: Alien Skies

What do you do when you find a glitch like this. Do you exploit it or do you try to fix it.

if i catch it early il save and reload but iron man all bets are off they dying

>savescumming

Disgraceful

Should I buy xcom 2?

Ello anons, that monday morning live streaming guy is back again.

youtube.com/user/TheShadowscythe/live

I will be going live in one hour (9:30am UK time) and carrying on with the utter cluster fuck that is my modded Xcom 2 "long dong" campaign.

If you want to watch you are more than welcome, if not - that's cool too.

Did you play XCOM 1?

Yes, but unmodded

Then you should enjoy X2 as well. It's half off on steam right now.

...

Yeah I know but it's my first playthrough

Some one speak

It's been a long day.

More classes,more enemies and more classes.

That it has

Had my Viper Super hero who I shamelessly named Sub-Zero use an ice grenade followed by the ice hook to keep the Berzerker Queen in check.

Also helped my front line where Mecs, I never put lives before robutts

MAX POWER

AND HIGHER

...

Why has Beags not been uploading YT content?

Twitch gives him more money

[muffled removal in the distance]

Excellent

...

too busy failing to an hero

no die yet

...

live

rip in peace

More Classes, and maybe multiclassing.
More reason to create squads for specific situations, like a reason to have a Stealth Squad, Demolitions Squad or something like that.
Greater selection in weapons, maybe just for Aesthetics or minor benefits/drawbacks.
Greater selection of appearance, hate the pick a, b or c set up they have in 2, it's good - just a little outdated imho.
Recruitable ayys with actual support.

On your feet, /xcg/

i want to be the aliens in next game

No

What's with all those overwatch icons?

I want to remove timers but I don't want the difficulty to tank. Any mods anyone can recommend that aren't garbage? I already play with a bunch of the long war stuff.

Does the Guardian ability work when the soldier is using a Plasma Bolt Caster in XCOM 2? It says if the first overwatch attack hits, there's a 50% chance that a second shot is taken, but the weapon only has one shot until it's empty and needs to be reloaded.

Adding to the pods and hiking up the difficulty a step might be what you need.

Downloading Xcom 2 atm. What to expect? (i played part 1 and long war)

Is that just an .ini tweak? Also how OP do you think an extra armour slot option would be? Right now I can't give anyone armour because why would I do that over a grenade ever. Feels bad man.

...

Overwatch all/other mod. Does what it says on the tin, giving you the option to have 1)This guy overwatch 2)Everyone but this guy overwatch 3)Everyone overwatch.
