Currently playing XCOM 2. Didn't play the first one but it's pretty decent, even if I'm terrible at it.

Oddly enough without a couple of mods/settings tweaks the pace of the game feels horribly slow. I've no idea why the devs felt the need to put so many pauses and slow motion animations in.

I kind of like how atmospheric those game are, even if it's a bit excessive with the slow mo sometimes.

It's a shame they never made any other.

No, Chimera Squad does not exist. Never play Chimera Squad.

That there's a mod literally called "stop wasting my time" speaks volumes

You want atmosphere, play the original. Most atmospheric thing I've ever played. In the alien turn you can hear their footsteps. You hear doors opening and closing somewhere out in that darkness. Your enemy hides in the shadows and you rarely get a glimpse of it. Also good sound effects and music.

No you're not. I been playing X-COM since the real thing so I must be an authority. :marseyboomer:

The problem with NuX-COM and especially NuX-COM 2, is that it really comes down to one fundamentally r-slurred gameplay mechanic: Pod popping. The battle is all about what situation your guys were in when you hit a certain tile and the pod goes agro on you. You have no way to predict when this will happen. It's completely luck. It's not a game any more than a slot machine is a game. It's like going out on a patrol in real life where you might run into a booby trap IED at any moment with no warning. In NuXCOM-2 I'm not having fun, I'm feeling constant anxiety like that. I didn't buy it to play Worst Parts of Being an Infantryman IRL.

Also another very basic fundamental flaw: You have 4 on your squad. (Or am I confusing this with Battletech?) Anyway you have very few people in your squad. So if one gets killed, you've lost 25% of your force. That means you've lost the battle. You go back to base and it turns out that losing this one battle puts you behind the curve in the strategic game. So if you step on the wrong tile one of your guys can get killed which means the entire game is lost and you've gotta savescum. I dunno about you tards, but I don't find that fun.

In real X-COM it was legit fricking scary. The enemies didn't "go agro". They hid in the shadows, in buildings. You're watching the alien turn. You hear the pitter patter of little sectoid feet. Suddenly a plasma bolt comes out of the darkness and kills your pointman. I virtually never feel fear, but when that happens to me, yeah for a split second.

In X-Com 1 you could advance in a way that kept your squad in support of each other. In X-Com 2 the time limit made that impossible so I didn't see any alternative other than to save-scout.

Yeah, I'm not opposed to the time limit in principle but they make it so fast that you just have to have your guys running around in the open all time. Totally different from the original where you and the aliens are quietly stalking each other.

You have 4 on your squad.

goes up to 6 pretty quickly.

Pod popping

in 2 they introduced stealth so you can scout the pods and setup before striking. not just first turn stealth either, couple classes could re-enter stealth. iirc there also various scanners you could bring too, lot less random pod popping.

So if you step on the wrong tile one of your guys can get killed

also why r u running into the fog of war? never run into the fog of war, lol
