Not ready to start the next Omega piece yet…but between rage-quits after Gold Olympic ADVENT Lancer bullshit teamwipes and “Oh, look, six Heavy MECs and Sectopod flanking me ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME X-COM?!?!” I am working on a couple of pieces.
Two Wong interviews, a new STG Report, and expanding on the Encyclpedia Biotica. I’ll put another post out when they hit FF.net.
X-COM 2 is a very good game but will induce raeg.
I lost both of my early game Rangers in two consecutive missions because a MEC ran out of the FoW and critted my Ranger out of full cover, and the other one got pulled into a tile on fire by a viper, bound by said viper, rolled a 3 on the burn damage, and then finally got Lancer’d.
Fuck Lancers.
Oh, the bullshit gets worse when you get to Archons. I triggered three of them and ALL THREE storm into the sky and bring down artillery strikes.
I’d never seen this before so I didn’t move them far, just into cover. The entire map exploded and I was now the proud owner of two corpses and three guys with no cover. The next round a single MEC bombarded two to death while I missed a 94% shot on the Archon and got killed in melee on my Ranger.
Fuck Archons. Also, fuck Chrysallids, MEC’s and especially Sectopods.
Nothing like losing your best soldiers to two 90% chance to hit missing in a row, right? I love this game but the bs level is too high sometimes.
The nerfs to player assets we have introduced in XCOM’s code are working guys ! Keep up the good work.
I can not wait until the next couple Wong interviews. I was really hoping you would do more of those.
Also now heavily debating getting XCOM 2. The first I truly did like, but god damn was it hard.
Yeah people say Fromsoftware games are unfair, but at least the are no ”chances” involved.
“point and laugh”
Good luck with X-com 2, haven’t played it yet but too addicted to Crusader Kings 2 atm to buy it.
I’m in a wonderfull situation where i’m in a 3 way cold war on empire level and it’s amazing 🙂
Played X-Com 1, it was an amazing experience that I’m happy to have done but not keen on repeating.
My first mission on xcom 2 one of my rookies got panicked by a sectoid, threw a grenade at two of my already wounded rookies, and rolled 4 on damage against both for the double kill.
Fucking hell.
I just lost my whole A-squad in Ironman to a Faceless who revealed itself and decided to bring down the house, literally.
RIP Veronique “Bones” Thomas, you were the only one I cared about after you solo’d a mission after those scrubs with you all got knocked unconscious.
A mechanic which I swear they brought back just to pretend Lancers aren’t broken, and to give heal specialists a bigger role. On that note, WHY CAN GREMLINS NOT AUTO REVIVE THEIR OWNER!
LOL, that’s some quality BS right there. I had to quit playing for a bit after my lead guy got gangbanged by three lancers and a Heavy MEC killed two guys by blowing up the roof and making them fall to their deaths.
