Bravo Jake

Hey guys, not X-Com but I figured people here would know.

After about 8 years I've started playing Jagged Alliance 1.13 again and it is kicking my ass. I don't remember it being this difficult. I keep trying different combinations of mercs and getting my ass kicked about halfway through Drassen. On my last attempt I disabled New CTH and was doing a little bit better, and tried going in to the middle tile of Drassen at night with militia backup, but the soldiers threw a flare at me and then mortared me, killing Ira and my Imp instantly. I'm only playing on Experienced difficulty level. Has the difficulty in 1.13 been ramped up since 8 years ago or something? I don't see how you're supposed to be able to deal with so many soldiers unless you rent a squad of top mercs for 1 day.

>fourth for heroes and sacrifices

...

reminder that bore is the chosen is shit meme trash and adds nothing of value to the game

BOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR

Will Rulers stop the timer like Chosen? Getting them on missions is bad, but i don't want to spend so much time on researching and building their shit together with the SPARK.

...

Jake please release your shit already

>Someone on /xcg/ will die before Xpac is released.
Jake pls, release it now.

Jake pls, sing me to sleep

I love you Jake

...

Jake pls

Instead of BF1 ports here's a juicy webm for /xcg/

...

>that stare

It's like he got MC'd for a few seconds

Don't worry guys, I'm almost ready to release my pack and fix my game!

I'd let him pack his crossbow if you know what Imean

RELEASE IT JAKE RELEASE IT

What kind of guy doesn't take Bladestorm for Templar.

A christopherodd kind of guy. He even fucking LAUGHED at the idea.

An idiot.

Anorexic chicks are hot as fuck. When are we getting anorexic operatives?

You might be homosexual user

Sounds legit, I've seen this before.

>Freeing up space on ssd for the additional 30gb download for WotC
>See this

DO IT JAKE

Why am I getting homosexual vibes from Bradford?

27 hours to go

There is no god but the great commandy one and bradford is his prophet

Why release it at the end of the weekend?

Because he's literally gay for the commander. Why do you think he became a depressed drunk when he disappeared?!

Blame sonic

I want to hang out with the aliens.

So that they have a workday so that they can make patches for anything too bad.

Just when I think it wasn't possible for a man to be this wrong.

Are there male and female avatars or are they hermaphrodites?

It is just a shitposting retard. It has been at it for weeks.

They release on Tuesday because initially it would ensure they had a shipment of stock prior to the opening weekend. It's just tradition now.

Projection

You've been exposed to too much buffposting.

Fuck off back to deviant art Jungle-Perils.

Because you lust for him.

RELEASE IT JAKE

Male and Female

If we bring real-world biology into this they'd probably be biologically female if anything at all, as that is the "default" state of humans. But since this is XCOM, all bets are off.

I personally like to think they're the opposite of hermaphrodites, i.e., without sexual characteristics at all.

Man, I love Baraposter just for how much they trigger anons like you.

Your suffering brings me real joy, I thought you should know that.

...

He's a deviantart fetishist who posts his faggot shit on here for attention.

Well, in actuality, there are male and female models for Avatars.

So, since they're artificial, perfected human bodies.... Male and Female.

Oh hey, it's Mom of the Year All Years.

You're just proving my point.

The Avenger is so comfy

RELEASE IT JAKE

>Maybe a dozen bunks for possibly hundreds of troopers
>Room is smaller than the commander's personal quarters
XCOM is suffering

...

...

I fucking hate the aesthetics of the chosen
I fucking hate the two APs system
I fucking hate infiltration and half baked stealth in a game obviously not fit for it

I fucking hate the aesthetics of alien rulers and chosen.

Seriously, boss enemies ruined the game.

...

The best troopers get to bunk down with the Commander.

What do they do with him?

PULL BACK AND HUNKER DOWN

If Jake doesn't release WotC in one hour, Joey eats him.

>hate rulers
>enable the dlc anyway
>just don't go on their start mission
>never see them
>profit

Joey mod when?

>Still no GMG steamkey

>still no Joey mod

Jesus fucking christ faggots, calm the fuck down. It's like two days away, just be chill.

Jake pls

>when you remember that Joey is too good for this shit game

WHERE IS MY KEY GREENMANGAMING?

Maybe they converted some of the cargo spaces into bunks.

it's not gay if your commander is a girl

>LW2 1.5 came out today
jeez

>there are people who don't self insert as a female
Absolutely shameful.

...

Too bad I only have two days to play it.

>Game of Thrones is over
>Game of Ayys begins

CAREFUL NOW

The other aliens cheering the viper on is funny but please god no, anything but this.

...

It's 30GB? is that accurate? I know it's like 65 on the Steam page but the base game is apparently 50 while only 37 on my HDD

I just want to know how long I'll be sat in the pub waiting for it

I can't quite remember, aren't the XCOM 2 mod tools included with that?

According to the Store page

45GB

WotC:
Minimum: 65GB
Recommended: 70GB

So yeah it's really hard to say, it might be taking into account the mod tools so that's a good idea

Good lord, just how slow is LW2?

Haven't even finished the first liberation and I think I've already done every map at least twice and have been fight ADVENT Secs and Sneks and Drones, every map.

Long Wang 2: Longer Wang.

...

>Mhmmmm

Anyone know what the best SSD for a good price is? With how big XCom 2 is and how long it takes to load up and how doofy its performance is I've decided to get an SSD for it and my other games to hopefully fix the latter two issues.

Load times have been improved massively in WotC.

this is after jacking a codex and bullying an avatar
when i unveiled the pod i was afraid that i was gonna get REMINDED in every hole
then they all missed

>Brazzalers

Shinobi is like the last class that I'd give Reverend Alberts.

KEYS ARE OUT

well that's what what happened, if he wasn't my first shinobi, i probably would have took him down the melee route because zerker, but i needed the scout so my hands were tied

ZERKED

look at this hot gem that just showed up on the workshop
