Menace? I prefer womenqueens.
>>736196771Fuck you Carlos
>>736196223The demo was fun but the premade squad leaders are cringe. I fucking hate that all strategy games do this. Just give me procgen dudes that I can build my own connection with instead of insisting upon yourself and your gay writingXcom series still the king. But I heard that new star wars strategy game will have permadeath so if it also has procgen levels it might be cool
>>736197056>premade squad leaders are cringeI would like the ability to make generic leaders but I get what they were going for. Each character has specific builds they excel at which also means they've got limitations. Otherwise everyone is going to run nothing but max range, max concealment, and never get into a firefight because they can kill everything without being detected. And in a way limiting it also makes it more fun because you can just go in with smaller more specialized groups that minmax one strat.
>>736196223Have they fixed menus melting GPUs?
>saves your gamehttps://www.nexusmods.com/menace/mods/90
>>736197435>animeWhat actually saves your game is full demotion points refunds. Then you can actually change your tactics when you get new gear instead of being completely fucked if you went down the wrong choices.
>>736197298never needed to be fixed because it never happened, learn how to cap frames
>>736197776I’ve tried it and it doesn’t make any difference. Their menus were a complete mess and made the game literally unplayable.
>>736197918Sounds like a (You) problem
>>736197056Ja 2 1.13 is still the only one.
>>736196223Has the supply mechanic been removed yet (or, at least, is there a mod to kill it)? Fucking the player over for grinding is some of the gayest shit a developer can do.
I'm addicted to triple APCs and Mobile Infantry I don't even know how you would do any of these missions in under 10 turns without it.
>le turn based arcade game
So what happens after you beat Menace? Is the game just over? It only took about a day or two of playing to reach that point.
>Saw achievement to field "at least six units" >Assumed this meant the maximum I could field is six squad leaders>Realise now after ages of playing under my supply cap that I could have fielded at least 2-3 more squadsHoly shit I am retarded.
>>736196223That's taking it a bit far, but I am enjoying it.
>>736197056I would be surprised if Star Wars XCOM has procgen levels considering you apparently roam around missions in third person in between combat encounters
>>736200658>>736197056>Star wars product>GoodPick one
>>736200771the lead designer said he wanted to make it possible to beat the game with a full squad of astromechs so clearly they have the right kind of autist developing the game
>>736196223
>>736200820>the lead designer said he wanted to make it possible to beat the game with a full squad of astromechsSo they can sell more garbage collectables
>>736200854I would imagine it would be difficult to make merch for your squad of customizable astromechs

>>736199540You eventually get the dictator contact you and tell you that the Wayback will allow TCRN main forces to arrive and that is followed by an in-game message that this is the end of early access content.
>>736201206>and tell you that the Wayback will allow TCRN main forcesWell that's kino, I hope when this happens a bunch of new heavy vehicles and top tier gear becomes available.
>>736201345And you can keep playing after that, just no new plot developments will occur, it is useful if you want to test equipment and loadouts.
>>736201415>And you can keep playing after that, just no new plot developments will occur, it is useful if you want to test equipment and loadouts.Yeah ive been playing on normal and its been a bit too easy so I will probably jump into expert once this save is done then
>>736198178What do you mean? The supply system is how they balance your forces.
>>736202063NTA but the supply system does have some issues, most notably making heavier armour past a certain point actively detrimental because it eats up a huge chunk of supply cost for only relatively minor benefit compared to the same supply cost spent on better weapons or, at the real heavy end, potentially an additional SL. Making SLs more expensive to deploy as they level up is really strange as well and gets very silly for three star SLs very quickly.
>>736202858The heavier armors start negating certain types of damage. The heaviest ones are basically invincible against small arms for example which means you don't need more men and can get close and just blast people away from close range with stronger SMGs/shotguns. I think it feels weird because you're so used to your squads being squishy that by the time you get tough ones you're set in being defensive.
>>736200832Alternating turn order strategy game styled after 20th century combined arms warfare concepts. Suppression is more important than outright destroying the enemy (usually), units must work together to fix and destroy targets. You take on operations that are structured like miniature slay the spire maps against one of three enemy factions that vary between trashy pirates, an army that rolls heavier than your marines, and the bugs from starcraftdivers
>>736203253*four factions you're forgetting Menace
>>736204054no, it's called lying
