/xcg/ - XCOM General

This is Firebrand, evac request confirmed; hold tight.

The truth stated often is still the truth. Just because everyone tells you to BREAK LOS doesn't make it any less true.

For me I think it's one of the Halo ones.

FUCK OFF FIREBRAND BIG SKY IS BETTER REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I love you, Firebrand.

It's a bunch of stuff. A lot of people will be happy.

...

I want to believe, but at the same time I am incredibly dubious.

Oh well.

>advent mec wipes squad on roof via grenade + fall damage + burning

Just wait I can't say anymore.

What could they do to fix this? Part of the reason I don't use a load of cosmetics is to keep the memory usage down but also because I hate having to fix every soldier in my barracks after upgrading an armour tier

I was thinking maybe a 'preset' function, ie instead of having to select the limbs separatley , you just select from a list what look you're going for. For example you're using a MW2 SAS pack with four different variants, you can just select one of the four variants and it sticks, the game doesn't try to assign new limbs after upgrading

Why did you group them all together when there was a MEC there?

Some mods have an option in the settings where you can set how often certain cosmetics are selected for recruits, but not all mods are there and I don't even know if it does anything. I really wish everyone who makes cosmetics just conformed to a standard system of limbs and stuff where you don't get invisible bits on certain combinations of mods, which I realize is tough/impossible due to using ported models, but it's really a pain in the ass and limits customization.

>he fucking flashbangs us
>Hack effect lost!
>fires grenades
>it all goes south from there
>mfw

that'll show me

IIRC that only works for newly obtained recruits, I really wish all mods had it though, at least you can turn it off for Alien Hunters and Anarchys Children

I fucking love how they make it feel so satisfying to hit the aliens in this game. They fly away, lots of blood and great sound from the guns. Only wish they made the strike punt enemies across the map like the EW mechs did.
Man sparks are just more boring than mechs in general.

>Still no mode where your soldiers shoot sectoids with shotguns for distance

Is sneaky AI for OG XCom too easy for anyone else?

>still no SHIV mode
give me back my beep boop fuckbots

I think there is one for the invisible head already, but basically this can be fixed by setting it so that there is one mod with all the invisible body parts and every cosmetic mod has a notice that it is required to have this mod in order for their mod to work. That one mod can have the option for how often it appears set to zero, and even if that doesn't completely stop it, having it only be one option out of a hundred means it likely won't appear.

/xcg/ will be playing soon in the VGL against /lzg/

pastebin.com/yH1jeMgL

we got this

Will you be looking at Mario and Rabbids, /xcg/?

bout when this happened to me.

Is it just for switch?

Whoops deleted some of my post, it's supposed to say, "I forgot about when this happened to me.".

Seems like it

What happened on weekly bagels last night?

Literally nothing, he was feeling "sick" so he didn't stream. Funny how he's only ever "sick" on Thursday nights.

lazy nigger happened

So is there a terror mission mod yet? I wanna kill civvies

>Try to play Jagged Alliance 2
What the hell am I supposed to do? This game is about 10x more confusing than UFO Defence was and there's approximately zero online resource for it.

Lol. Just saw the Twitter post.

So he was deathly ill last night, but is going to have no problem streaming Monthly Flavor Shooter Game all weekend. I almost feel sorry for people who subscribe and donate money to him, but I don't.

meh, could've been better

THAT'S XCOM BABY

Well that was disappointing and could have been a lot better

To advance we need to win sunday against /civ4xg/

does beagle have a real job because maxing at 1K viewers for a couple of hours per week + 1 to 200 dollars in donations is like minimum wage level of poverty

plus he has feed his ogre of a fat-fuck gf and their 5 million different pets

he probably whores himself out to older business men on craigslist or something

The man's pretty much done with XCOM, the magnificence finally took it's toll. I just wish he'd actually say "yea I'm done", instead of pulling people along like that

Just like liberate cities an shieeet.

Well he does get paid for being on that PubG team now, right? But yeah, not exactly sure how the finances work out.

Doesn't he also get monthly 3 dollars from a bunch of people because of Twitch subscriptions? Don't really know how much that adds up to.

XCOM 2 the anime

So I said I would do a quick cleanup of this oc, but then when I changed it a bit, I almost felt like the hasty unpolished nature of it somehow made it better.

So, this one or...

>need to log in to watch
yeah, no.

or this one. Which looks better? Maybe there is a way to fix it up nicer, wish I could easily match the gray gradient background.

Seriously, is there a mod for making ADVENT fly through walls and shit when hit by a strike? It feels like a mild slap compared to the old MEC strike

there's a white pixel on the grey side under 1st text

I can clean up the gradient when I get home for you if you'd like.

Improved SPARK punches or something

In your dreams :^)

I think you should try to match the style of knowyourmeme.com/memes/expanding-brain as much as possible. At least I thought that's what you were going for.

I'm actually really enjoying Long War 2 now that the stealth missions are gone, Also Smash and Grab missions are a neat way to get resources.

This was driving me insane, so I just made the entire thing from scratch

>those fonts
GIMP?

Paint.net

Free fonts suck ass. But I'm too cheap for Photoshop

>he doesn't have CS5 portable

>I'm too cheap for Photoshop
me too

What's the pros of this one over paint or gimp?

Kek'd

It's a cracked Photoshop CS5 (free) that doesn't need to be installed so you can just copy it from computer to computer.

Can you give me a trusted link? I'm sure I could just google, but I'd rather get it from someone here.

What if user's a faceless?

>people putting effort into making your meme good

It's a risk I'll have to take. How tech savy could Faceless be anyway?

Well, they kinda look like their whole diet consists of hotpockets, pizza and sprite only.

>implying anyone other than corporations pays for photoshop

So, a typical Veeky Forums poster?

I also don't want the penis from Adobe lawyers.

Here, my own copy.
if you want to move it to another PC, all you do is just move the folder to the new PC and delete the 'data' folder (it generates it when you first run it, contains all the directory data).

I'm sure there are later version available but I've used CS5 for years and it's just the one I prefer to use (especially since I've had this portable one for ages).

If it don't work I do also have an installer-version.

oh whoops, I uploaded the wrong one.
Just make sure you delete the 'Data' folder before running.

Thank you.

Thanks user, you're a real gem

thanks my dude

Is it just me or did the writing quality increase in the second half?

How many mods is too many? I'm currently at 250

Until your game crashes consistantly

I have ~60. One user here is running 500+

I recently slimmed mine down to 73 and am really enjoying how smooth it is.

63 here, turned off all the longwar stuff though

Currently on 124.
I think most of them are cosmetic.

Well I gotta say solo avatar research facilities are fun, albeit a tad tough
especially when they drop 3 reinforcement pods on you

But hey, it works well

god bless this man

How? I mean, Rangers are broken, but still, how?

A lot of tactical thinking and using Implacable to break LOS
It was a full left side ranger as well, no reaper/blademaster fun and games here
I guess I just got gud

Should I get XCOM 2 on sale now, or should I wait until the Summer sale and hope it goes down more?

If Rapid Fire had a cooldown this wouldn't have been possible, you wouldn't have been able to outdamage something on that mission, I just know it. Was there a Gatekeeper?

Considering the expansion was recently announced I don't think it will go down much lower.
