Playing X-com for the first time. This game is awesome but i'm horrible
you mean twitter?
>>737605296I just assumed XCOM 2 was the first one
>the first game to combine TBT and strategy>still the best in the genre decades laterhow did they do it?
>>737605296have fun manbeing horrible at it is part of the experience and what makes it so elusive and greatt. just rockets the shit out of everything if possible
it's my favorite game of all timetake your time, enjoy, don't be afraid of failure and fucking upI hope you have a great timemanufacturing and selling laser pistols is good for early game cash if you need it(unless you're playing with mods that changed it)
>>737605383>>still the best in the genre decades laterBut it's shit.It's stupid hard unless you know the game's "tricks" then it's stupid easy
>>737605434the discovery is part of the appeal
>>737605434>>737605482yeah, that is in a sense the core gameplay and it's even assisted by the storytelling, as your learn more about the game mechanics, XCOM learns more about the alien invaders, unlocking new equipment, harder missions, new mechanics, eventually this culminates into the ending.
I'm playing with a rebalance mod.
>>737605296i love the look of these old games but i'm too much of a zoomer to actually sit there and play through them
>>737606198look up a general introduction tutorial video on youtubesbut yeah i had to write a postit note of what i was doing for the next time i loaded it up lolit took me starting 3 games to finally finish it and it was fun and a unique experience
>>737605434>It's stupid hard>it's shitheh.
>>737605296Don't shoot with your spotters. Don't do it.Drop smoke grenades inside and toss one outside at the bottom of the ramp turn 1 DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSERush lasers to be slightly better equipped to fight ayys earlyPersonal armor kinda sucks, power armor is decent but is obviated by the next step up, only make them if you've got nothing else to do.
>>737606198with openxcom you can just set up a battle map if you wanted to get right into it
>>737606198it's just project zomboid but turn-based
>>737605296>This game is awesomeYeah.>but i'm horribleSame.>t. ~300-450 hrsEveryone make mistakes.You'll get used to it, Commander.
>>737605296>Being terrible>In original xcomI didn't think that was possible
>>737606906Not OP but there's always a chance to screw things up.
>>737605342lol
>>737605434What tricks?
>>737606906[soldier got panicked for this post]
>>737605296Remember: Heavies are your heroes, grenades are your friends.Until you get mind controlled and wiped by your own squad T1.
