Loved xcom EU, hate xcom2 put 16 hours into it, 16 hours of my life wasted. Stuff like run up to an alien hiding behind a gas station with a ranger slash attack and the whole thing blow up. Totally lame mechanics. Half the missions on timer force you to rush things, relying on dumb luck over a careful approach. Idd rather replay xcom 1 than install this game again.

Archers stronk

One shot alien rulers with banish plus repeater and expanded mag

pls make more badnorth videos, just anythiing!

I wish their was a part 2 to this video. I really enjoyed your insight. I got through the entire campaign of Enemy Unknown and Within, but XCOM2 I ended up giving up. The difficulty ramped up to fast. XCOM is my all time favorite game. Going to give it another try. Thanks for the video.

never stop bro

Now that I see this video, have you ever played Warhammer 40: Mechanicus? It's an XCOM style game too.

Tip 1 Throw grenade Tip 2 Fire rockets Tip 3 Throw another grenade. These games are the most boring fucking strategy games around. There is absolutely no skill to spamming grenades at the enemy because Firaxis made the game so god dam fucking awful.

A specialist with a skulljack/skullmine not only becomes better at hacking but bypasses armor and stasis if successful. 70% flat hit chance but also comes with an extra of more goodies on a hacker type. Don't sleep on flashbangs, smoke grenades, or just incremental bonuses from faction orders or world bonuses (increasing the effects of a PCS or equipment is tied to a continent bonus or a skirmisher order.) Given how loaded the dice are in XCOM 2 (and how it blatantly always knows where your stealth units are when within one blue move of them) consider XCOM Enemy Unknown/Within tips and tricks. This video does not prepare or adapt people on a tactical layer in and out of the missions between digging out your avenger and understanding the elevated threat from month to month. Perhaps my time in Long War between the two games has affected that capacity as the base game of both. (XCOM 1 will still beat you like an alcoholic step dad well beyond classic and impossible will be a trail of tears.)

I have played this game for so many hours. I have watched tips and playthroughs. Yet my results are not much different than when I first started. What I cant stand is the "RNG". You know when you have an 85+ chance to hit and miss and then you adjust and improve the aim and still miss. I know a 15% chance to miss is likely, but a 15% x10% chance? And the mission timer ensures that you will have to take these shots. And the better you do, the more unfair the game will get - literally adding extra reinforcements. You have to be a masochist to play this game. The best way to win is to quit and go spend time with your friends and family.

I love this game and wish it as more for replay value(even though I replay it frequently). My suggestions are of course just ideas that the designers have maybe already considered. Having a trait that allows to hold two items with a disadvantage of weakness and/or being considerably slow named packrat(maybe). Having an item that very temporarily makes your guys almost invincible with a stun effect given to your troops that shrugged off previous damage. (I don't know what this could be maybe like a mushroom 🍄). Another item idea would be excalibur, making your commander always in front of their troops. Being in the frontline helps protect the troops but being more at risk of falling behind enemy lines.

Tier list is good

I keep seeing alot of Xcom 2 Lwotc videos where people have soldiers who have alot of holes in their skills, ie 4:19 on the reaper hes showing for example. why is that?

Hey man, just finished this series. Great work, great commentary, straight to the point, no screaming, no bs, just pure gameplay with a chill voiceover. Keep it up!

If its the Vanilla XCOM 2, I'd go for 1 Ranger, 2 Grenadier, 1 Sharpshooter, 1 Specialist and 1 Psi-Ops. Half the time, will switch up to have 2 Specialist and 1 Grenadier instead. The Ranger, I focus on the Assault skills, along putting them as the team's Recon. Sharpshooter, I somewhat gave more focus on pistol skils, but left some of the sniper skills like Longwatch and Death from Above. For the case of Grenadier, I'd put it your way as well with one is the single-focus dealer, and another is the Grenadier/ Ambusher. I did mentioned I put 2 specialist in 1 team sometimes, replacing any of the grenadier. For Specialist, I have 2 roles which are obviously the Hacker and the Medic. Psi-Ops, no need to mention much as you can try get all skills in one go. If we include the DLC such as Alien Hunter and the SHIV, I did replace the Grenadier with it to be the other Single target dealer. For the case of WOTC, is a different story. Most of the time, I try to put each faction in one team. Although, I did change sometimes for certain mission structure. One example is the facility missions, where you must bring the Reaper all the time for a simple stealth plant. Either way, Reaper is definitely the Go-to faction for Long Stealth Run. Also, every time in a mission with Concealment, bring both Reaper and the Grenadier as they work well together as Ambusher. Plant the Claymore in One Pod of enemies, and drop a Grenade to do double amount of Damage. Most important would be it is your choice of how you build your team for missions. Lots of way can be done for a good team build in both Vanilla and WOTC expansion.

😄😄😄

Half cover is no cover

Man I have to ask are there re skins for your units or viking enemies in this game?

Great video brother, I agree have FUN! It’s only a game, if you’re getting wrecked it’s only because you haven’t learned these specific tips. Cheers from America 🇺🇸 🤙

This video stressed me out soo much

This is one of my favourite games but I have not seen any content and plathroughs until now keep up the good work!!

2:46 Templars and especially Skirmishers: 😂 Nah dawg, Skirmishers can literally solo tank advent hoarde and alien hoarde combined so long as he gets some support from engineer drones giving him defence boost

The thing with the stick as you call it, was not that uncommon. Some functions such as the lictores carried around assorted attributes; they sort of came with the job. For the lictores it was the fasces for instance.

Are none of us gonna notice Chester’s side eye that he throws?

Rulers also dont get a move if you give the overwatch order. So put all but one soldiers on overwatch and have the last one attack the ruler. When the ruler makes its move, all other soldiers will shoot without triggering any further ruler actions.

6:34 bro went flying

When you have more time, elite archers are definitley the way to go, but they take so much time to build up, pikes are also great, I would have 2 elite archers, 1-2 elite pikes, and 1 elite infantry for my Ideal loadout

For my run, the first 2 squads i had was collector + ring and Sure-footed + warhorn

Ring of command and heavy weapon archers are by far one of the most overpowered combos I've ever discovered

Very cool and helpful video, mate. Thanks a million. It'll help me a ton! I just bought the game yesterday on the Steam Summer sale for about 2 quid, so I'm stoked to play and dominate

Jeeeeses this game is advanced!

you would have gotten the second med kit lol

1:32 “let me know what your favorite caracter is in this playtrough” I think it is Osker, altough I do like the other 3 strong units (Gareth, Synnove and Arthur (who i think are the strongest) I can inmagen a description for all four of them: Osker, the Grenadiers. They might not seem strong at first (the trait is not directly improving performance) but dont underestemate them. They are equiped with some of the deadliest weapons (grenade ofc) wich you wil soon regret. Gareth, the vanguard. These soliders fearlessly fight wile holding their ground (surefooted) knowing that they are backed by commrads who will take their place at any notice (war horn) Arthur, The scout core. These men have great respect for eachotter and are seen upto by many who glady want to join their side (rousing speeches). They attack by pounding their enemy (war hammer) and then slaughter the few remaining to then reinforce and do it all over again First correction: forgot the “but” by the osker description and corrected gareth with surefooted (got confused with ironskin)

First of all, love the game and love your series (watched the perfect run series first, this is the second) Second, jeez you’re good and i learn alot from you ❤ (didnt like the bomb and hammer at first, but you give great tips about how to time them and now I very much like them 😈) I do btw want to discuss about something: you dont really like the philosopherstone (in latter series you like it more If you pare it with collector trait) but I actualy think its worth it to lvl it max, even without collector. Lets say you equipe it (round zero) you then use it and then upgrade again (round one: +1 -5) then you use again and upgrade (-4 +2 -9= -11) so then by round 4 after max (6 rounds after equiping) you make 1 coin profit and from there 3, this is actually very realistic since you have around 18 rounds (depending on how fast you go trough the islands) and then it really pays off, if you equipe it in early or mid game. If you btw equipe and fully upgrade, by round 5 you make a coin profit. So I think it is actually better than you think it is, or rather less worse than you think Tbf not that you are going to read this, since this episode is more than 3 years old, but stil wanten to comment about it and also for the people like me who started playing years after the release

nice clear

14:48 okay it was stupit, but also very epic, those pikeman fearlessly russhed while the commander trew a bom in a (quite) desperate attept not to completly get destroyed

Nice Video keep it up

You should of stayed with serbius

So cool to see you play this! I remember your Bad North very hard vids back in the day. Hope you continue, I think you will enjoy the later levels.

They made this game so annoyingly hard

In my opinion abilities are useless, and items to. The ultimate meta is to just go for 2-3 Archers and upgrade them as fast as possible. They are op, they can kill anything before it even touches the island, exept those fat archers, therefore the trait that makes items cheaper is S+ tier, cause together with the money stone you can make so much money which you then put into archers and win easily.

I know i'm extremely late to the series in general, but in 40:00 with that annoying plane, you can press E-Landing to force him to line up in front of the front guns. He gets deleted almost instantly like 80% of the time, which with .303s is good enough

What upgrade do you have for your worker ants? Mine die in seconds so try to get other ants up and never build alot of workers, but seeing your strat, i might change it up.. just started playing the game so still learning

mountain can be especially helpful against brute enemies as you commander can go toe to toe when fighting them

you tried only 2 heroes?

Elite archers with fleet of foot and ring of command just KILL EVERYTHING

2 YEARS GONE BY AND I JUST NOTICED AT 4:34 THE CHARACTERS NAME IS JOSEPH JOESTAR... TWO DAMN YEARS

Using Hunker Down before engaging packs of aliens on your soldiers, can be very useful as well in saving your units when surrounded or about to be surrounded.
