Babe wake up, another xcom 2 video that shows how it stays peak even almost 10 years later
Remember!
It's not an x-com game if you don't miss a shot with a 96% chance of success!
That'll happen on average every 20 shots.
You take a lot more than 20 shots per mission.
*99%
My party consists of nothing but Gordon Freeman and Hatsune Miku. "No Gordon, Scott is not a weeb, your being paranoid!"
Great video!
I always loved how Firaxis added a few cool features in the second game, like bonds between soldiers, Chosens, super-aliens and... that one Sonic-like Advent timer... It keeps the gameplay fresh and outstanding from the first game.
amazing review. One of my favorite games. I have many hours playing the base game and the expansion and with the mods you have a completely new experience
I can not recommend Long War 2 and Long War of the Chosen enough (along with Modjam onc you're skilled enough). It makes the game much longer, more complex, and you can actually build a barracks and have time to use the technology you worked so hard to build up (for more than a few missions). Xwynns and DerAva taught me everything I needed to know about the strategy layer, and how to have extreme patience in playing the missions.
I hope they don't go the Terror From the Deep 2 route but honestly I doubt they'll avoid it. Maybe they'll add more aspects to make the underwater setting more interesting at least. I would prefer something like X-Com Interceptor 2 instead but I doubt that will happen anytime soon.
A modern space sim with X-com elements would be interesting.
I guess it's time to start up another game of X-Com
Nice review, I see the next one in four months :v
Seriously good job on this, and I do agree with most of the points you made, but with a single caveat on the music. I'd say the TLE dlc music tracks are far better than the base game's or even WotC.
Can’t believe I wasn’t notified when this got published. Another great video! Really enjoyed both the insight and the humor. Good luck on that soon to be 1k!!
Thanks :)
Do you have faith in Firaxis' ability to make a good sequel without Jake Solomon?
I havent tried chimera squad, nor am i that interested, aince i heard it was made without Solomon. I wish i could be more optimistic for the future. Thank the Elders for XCOM 2 mods. Highly recommend Covert Infiltration
Firaxis devs have the talent and the experience to pull it off, it just depends who steering the ship now, I think.
Chimera Squad is an excellent spin-off, and choosing not to play it is only depriving yourself of fun.
Another epic video!! ❤🎉
Damn excellent video, how don't you have more subscribers yet?
Also the mods on steam are great, but the customisation in wotc is a bit janky in my opinion as many of the stuff don't align or don't mix well together, but the mods make it worth it (clone army
I can't believe you didn't talk about the Photobooth and how fun that is.
It's a fun feature, just didn't know where to fit it in.
The reason we don’t talk about when the aliens miss us is because the aliens just don’t miss us.
"Phoenix Point" next perhaps?
That's on the list, but it's going to be a long while till I get to it. Next review is something sorta similar to Xcom though.
Yeah we ain’t getting an xcom game anytime soon :( after midnight suns poor sales 2K is gonna play it super safe and work on Civ 7
Ive been trying to beat this game on Iron Man mode for like 5 years
I've done honest iron man, the game crashes too much to play it without saves
Good stuff
if you cant beat Xcom 1 on normal then you WILL NOT beat Xcom 2 on easy. and those special missions WotC adds (if you select not to integrate content) filter players HARD.
Just use the grey missions to farm endless exp
Lets be real. Shen's last gift was kinda too easy especially with bluescreen rounds.
@@dillydraws yeah most new players don't instantly know what's op or rush to good upgrades
For me the game got 100% ruined and Unenjoyable because of timers in every single god damn mission.
I hate timers in games no mater the game. And i especialy liked the 1st game because you slowly could set up perfect tactics and you could commando arround the maps etcetc.
timers? like the turn timers?
Really wasn't a fan of all the extra RNG rolls XCOM 2 added, Dodge, explosives can crit, melee can miss AND crit, Guardian Perk is a flat 50% chance to fire again, most of the weapon mods being incredibly powerful IF they roll positive, standard explosives MIGHT set units on fire, honestly the list goes on.
And then there's the mission timers, they feel like a duct tape fix for bad AI, force the player to play worse, instead of making units with abilities and AI to support them to counter exploitative play
Loved XCOM 1 and Long War 1, wasn't a fan of XCOM 2
