>is the best turn based game in you're path
>>738449587Misclicked, sorry.
>>738449587Not reallyMost tactics games like this have the issue of difficulty being irrelevant since all it does is 'more hp/damage' for the AIXCOM 2 and games like it fall apart around 2-3 hours in since unless you're utter shit, your soldiers are most likely 'complete' and you're used to the game to the point that aliens have anywhere between 2-5 direct counters for them so you can easily beat the game
>>738449587not anymore
>>738449787Less counters means it's now a puzzle game.
>>738449587I'm not a fan of the quirky Marvel capeshit aesthetics, sorry.
>>738449587Just replayed this and my god does the dlc make the intro convoluted as fuck. Oh you wanted to do the storyline? Here's 5 new missions with cutscenes and a chosen shittalking ever 5 seconds then injuring one of your guys.
>>738449587Ew, someone left a pile of shit in my path. I almost stepped in it too.
>>738449735Qrd
>>738449587Not even the best turn based game in the XCOM series.
>>738449794Tactics Ogre blows FFT out of the water. FfT feels barebones in terms of combat. And TO has ACTUAL tactics where FFT is an RPG on a grid.
>>738449587Bruh, modded oxce is so much better in terms of tactical experience.. Xcom 2 has so much "because game" bullshit which I can't fucking stand in tactics games.Xcom files mod shits all over xcom 2. I went to oldcom AFTER playing nucom plenty, never looked back. Less artificial bs.
cannot believe we got capeshit and jake left after it flopped instead of xcom 3fuck I miss xcom so much
>>738452210Just get into openxcom extended. If you aren't a complete graphic snob pussy, it's a better tactical experience if you bother taking 15 minutes to learn it. Massive and HEALTHY modding scene too btw
>>738450083Yeah its cool for a first time, after that just tiring. Im sure that there are mods to fix that.
>>738452158oxce is still shit due to the aliens/npcs being one dimensional in terms of difficulty
>>738452342One dimensional how exactly? You think they are easy?
LWOTC mogs
>>738449587>alpha strike the gameyeah nah m8
>>738452446They have zero tactics or intelligence or even abilities beyond shooting, melee and in some cases, mind control/panicThe game is fundementally still 'distract, kill'
>>738449587It's not even as good as battle brothers
>>738449587what a terrible opinion
>>738449587>is the best turn based game in you're pathI've recently started playing open x-com and modded ja2 and they're both way better, Silent Storm to, even XCOM 1 modded is better imoXCOM 2 is good, very good, but it's not the best by far.
Ahem.
>>738452492Honestly that doesn't bother me much, but also mods expand on this. Sniper spotter ai, energy shields, camo, zombification in some cases, damage types .. and if you really want harder ai, brutal ai fork can make ai that plays like absolute bastards.You speak as if the game, especially modded, is easy. Half the difficulty is managing your troops engagement which is mor complicated than the shitty 2 action system, but also more flexible.It also has less complete and utter bs, like xcom2 unlimited enemies, your evac moving because lol fuck you, or even xcom eu "lol you can only respond to 1 terror mission because ur moms a whore". Every failure in oxce has an identifiable, fixable reason, even if the resources for it are another story.
>>738452846>You speak as if the game, especially modded, is easy.

Every failure in oxce has an identifiable, fixable reason, even if the resources for it are another story.You're arguing against points I never made
>>7384529Did you make a point? You said less tactics, but they can also do tactics xcom 2 literally can't, less gimmicky and more devastating. The management of your units also makes this matter less, nucom demands less battlescape management, which also mean you have less agency, which means less tactics, which means fights MUST be made more predictable and manageable, which is why they put in bullshit in to even make it feel hard. Like what are you so sad about missing? The bullshit where the chosen or whatever literally can't be over watched??And me talking about bs before was just because there IS tons of bs and I fucking hate it.
>>738453343>xcom 2 I did not speak of thisCarry on
>>738449735>soulless korean slop
>>738453730So you don't like xcom 2, you don't like oldcom, why are you in the fucking thread??
>>738453896I never said this eitherAre you going to actual argue a point I made or just continue to make up things I said and argue against those points?
>>738454087WHAT fucking tactics do you want them to have?? Name them
>>738449587Unc never heard of E33
>>738454562
>>738449587It isnt even the best xcom remake
>>738454676Xenonauts 1 and 2? They aren't my thing but they did a good job. Nucom is fucking slop for people who want to FEEL SMART, but aren't actually.
XCOM 2 story is retarded but it holds up so well as an actual game. It's criminal that there isn't another one. You could see some of the jank and rough edges from the previous game, which was also great, improved upon. I could only imagine how good XCOM 3 would have been. Now I don't even want it. It will just be a different retard team making it and it misses the point.
is phoenix point any good?
I like Mewgenics. Xcom 2 is great too, same with Xcom 1. I also like FFT and Disgaea.
>>738451283Trouble Shooter is anime Xcom of vigilantes/bountyhunters helping police against criminals
It's hard to talk about games because lot of anons are wrong and the wrongest ones are most vocal.
I just play XCOM 2 now for the mods
>>738449587this but it's Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle
>>738454964I couldn't stand the "because game" bullshit logic in 2. Feels more like a card\board game secretly disguised as a tactics game, and I fucking despise this.Breaking point was when I set an evac BEFORE rescuing someone, and as soon as I did the pilot got invalidated parking and had to move. Absolutely got me fucking livid.
>>738455552Sounds like you are very bad at games
>>738455309Trvke
>>738455369Got a collection?
>>738455589No, its not "bad at video games", its being enraged at ABSOLUTELY FUCKING RETARDED reasonings for shit.Why are loot boxes in a mission RIGGED TO FUCKING EXPLODE before they have a single fucking clue you are there? Because game. Why is it when I Pre-emptive set an evac point to rescue someone, using a pilot who SHOULD be extremely fucking loyal, and understand the danger my units are in, he drives away to the opposite end of the building as enemies rapel in to kill me because the other selfish asshole leaves me with LITERALLY no explanation, other than the lazy cunts wrote a script for him to land when you rescue, and FORCES him to relocate to some arbitrary bs instead of respecting MY FUCKING COMMANDS?? because game.Its even worse I have less choice overall than oxce , but then the one choice I think I have, swift evac, it fucks me on and gets my squad half wiped from what SHOULD of been a flawless mission? No, absolute fucking trash. Oxce is fucking brutal but they don't bitch you out with shit like that.
>>738456169Didn't read.Works on my machine and i have several hundreds hours in. Try learning the game.
>>738455037Not really. The Valkryia Chronicles aiming is bad and they still limit how many dudes you can bring on a mission.
>>738456169I don't remember single instance of the game telling you you need to set the evac zone yourself unless you want to forfeit the mission
>>738454763I meant the first NuCom was better. Xenonauts is a great sidegrade to the originals.
>>738456521How was Xcom Enemy Within better than Xcom 2 with War of The Chosen
>>738449735>is in no way related to picrelGay
>>738449587I preferred the setting of EW much more. The "we're le resistance fighting le oppressors" is cringe. Not to mention the Marvel writing in the DLC. I can't stand it. The gameplay is very good. However, gameplay-wise I prefer the Long War mod for EW.
>>738450083Bwo...you can just disable those missions it doesn't disable the contentt. disables them every time
>>738456503You aren't getting it.Evac mission, where are you save your kidnapped buddy. Ok, i got this. Sneak in, kill guys, full stealth. Good shit. Game tells me alarm sounds as soon as I grab him, so be careful. Good shit.I use the "send evac" command to put the evac at the FRONT DOOR OF THE FUCKING JAIL, where ALL OF MY FUCKING ARE TEAM IS , except LITERALLY 1 DUDE RESCUING. Because I, trying to be fucking smart think "lets not worry about the pilot landing somewhere stupid after I grab him, I'll TELL HIM TO LAND here, and he will stay"I WAS SET to safely evac in a SINGLE TURN, with plenty of overwatch to probably survive first wave of reinforcement zero problems, because the evac is like 3 tiles outside the front door . In and out, nothing. The bird is LITERALLY ABOVE MY FUCKING HEAD.AND, as soon as I grab the captive, alarms blare, and my bird above my head FUCKS OFF in another direction for literally no fucking reason, no longer literally above my head, but on the furthest opposite side of the jail. His movement took me from CAKEWALK in and out, to 2 people dead.No explanation, no warning, no reasoning, nothing, just shit coding because fuck you, you AREN'T ALLOWED to plan ahead.
>>738452846>action points schizo was filtered by XCOM 2 and that's why he shits up every threadSad, but predictable
>>738456169>>738457215Holy shitter melty
>>738456579Mostly preference but also enemy design, music, and UFO attack missions.
>>738457657Action points were the LEAST OF my fucking gripes, see above. I tolerated that, and even complete bullshit reasoning of aliens exploding their own gear for fun on timers, but that fucking MALICIOUS evac coding made me hate it.That evac bullshit is ABSOLUTELY inexcusable, any pilot who did that in any military operation who wasn't ACTIVELY being shot at (he wasn't, even that would be excuse enough) would be courtmarshald and firing squaded for dereliction of duty and probably treason. Pilot is a fucking murderer
>>738452136>TO tactics>bumrush the leader every battleTO only requires thought if you play the postgame, which I'll grant is bigger than FFT. The class system is more versatile in FFT where in TO you're always equipping Anatomy, making everyone a ninja or archer, etc
>>738457748You'd melty too if you making a GOOD strategic play was absolutely ass fucked because they coded it so fucking assanine.Pilot was literally waving to my dudes, then flew away so they could get slaughtered.I dare any of you to try and excuse why it's that way. They don't even say "oh there's an anti air threat, I can only safely go here". He just lets you die because some fucking moron said "yeah, you can set evacs, no it doesn't end your objective or fail your mission, or literally anything to send it, and its identical looking to other evacs, but you know, what if the player set evac for some reason, didn't immediately use it, and then did final objective?? Oh lets move the evac of course, not even fucking ask the player. So setting better mission exits is literally fucking impossible because we intentionally coded it to be impossible for no reason, with no warning because fuck you".Inexcusable, and none of you can even defend it.
>>738457215>Because I, trying to be fucking smart thinkFound your problem
>>738458216Sounds like a (You) problem to be perfectly honest with you, member of family
>>738449587>babies first nu-com is the bestCute. It's not even the best nu-com.
>played XCOM to death>played JA2/3 to death>Wasteland 3 was great but kinda repetitive on a replay>too smoothbrained for Phoenix Point>Shogunners doesn't have that "outfitting my dudes" jazzWhat do I do, Commanders?
Commander, the aliens continue to make progress on the Avatar project. If we're going to slow them down, we need to move fast.
>>738458509So we need to once again send Reaper to sneak to another black site facility, set the bomb and evac. Got it.Damn, so intense, so pressure inducing, much time limit
>>738458247Good point, trying to be smart in that stupid shit is a waste. Its not like xcom files where I can strategically blow out the off ramp to my own ship to prevent zombies from reaching me, trivializing a mission, no.This is xcom 2 where everything is shit and your evac pilot is fucking autistic.Still would love someone trying to excuse that design.>>738458361Its a me problem because I use the tools available, with ABSOLUTELY 0 warning, caution, reasoning, explanation, or anything why it doesn't work?Like I said, any attempts to explain why this is because some piece of shit coder sucked. Humor me.
>>738458509You don't understand, Bradford. If we defeat our enemies, they win.
>>738458671Well how did you proceed the rest of the game with the knowledge you learned from that fail? Any other rough patched?
>>738458671>Still would love someone trying to excuse that design.Why would we? We love this game, so we're perfectly capable of acknowledging its flaws.
I don't understand why so many people treat the chosen as this awesome addition. the hunter and the warlock barely do anything, and the assassin is built to get cheap shots at you with little counterplay, until battle scanners/scanning protocol hardcounter her.That and their retard marvel quip tier dialogue only makes the game more busy and annoying rather than adding anything interesting>We are not so different you and I, commander>You eat food and I eat babbies
>>738458878>Because you...! You are XCOM!>And you will dieI love video game bosses.They just add something to do. The vanilla game was bit barren after doing the first playthrough so the expansion simply added more stuff, including them Chosens quipping to you and being saturday morning cartoon villains.
>>738458878>marvel quip tier dialogueIt ain't. It's standard cartoon villain-speak. Intentionally cheesy. Weird that all the super chuuni animations they do didn't tip you off.
>>738458417played Aliens Dark Descent
>>738458721There's a huge difference. In oxce, even modded, even if i fucking hate it, i feel like there's always some blame on meShould of brought more flares. Needed more meds. Needed bigger calibers, needed different guns, more explosive, a melee weapon backup, different troops, bad movements, complacent tactics, prepare more for unexpected (reasonable) shit like I go to a cake walk science station to raid and kill a dozen scientists and take their shit but OPPS ALL CHRSALLIDS, taking a better landing zone, being more cautious, being more brazen, sending more expendable people, WHATEVER . All of that shit is fine because there's an understandable reason, and I can learn from it. That combo is fucking essential.There's ZERO fucking reason for that, and all it would of taken was a throwaway line of "LZ HOT, MOVING TO SAFETY". BOOM INSTANTLY better, especially if they warn me prior.But not, the game lulled me into the idea I could TOTALLY evac my guys in 1 turn after objective and cucked me, and not a SINGLE attempt to even explain why.That's just shit design, and I imagine that's not the only case. And if I hated it that bad in a few hours, I didn't want to see more.>>738458726At least you can ADMIT its a flaw. To me it felt like a rancid fart in my mouth, that bitterness doesn't go away. Especially when I immediately go from "man, I'm so smart, not spotted, zero injuries, perfect mission" to screaming because my pilot moved and I realized how fucking dead i am, and not because I made any objective mistake, or even because some enemy trick..From brick level pilot ai.That emotional whiplash without even a valid target to take anger out on, not aliens, not myself, but the devs... can't recover from that.
>>738459396Yeah, but I don't generally jive with real time top down controls. Old man reflexes.
>>738449869>3Is Jagged Alliance 3 really better than 2?>>738452516Silent Storm is another game I've heard being praised for its combat. How is it compared to Jagged Alliance?
>>738459508>that bitterness doesn't go awayIt's a game, a piece of work, a product of design and execution. It's going to have flaws. If you still enjoy it regardless, great, that just means the good parts outweigh the bad. And, you know, you can always try and see if there's a mod that changes the parts you don't like. It's your game. Do what you want with it, play it to your preference.
>>738459575>Is Jagged Alliance 3 really better than 2?Subjective. I personally like the tone and kinaesthetics of 3 better, but for example there's no denying that it's a much smaller scope game compared to 2. Different strokes.>How is it compared to Jagged Alliance?Massive pain to run on modern systems.
>>738459575>Is Jagged Alliance 3 really better than 2?no but its still one of the best tbt games released in the last decade
>>738459508So you got filtered because you misunderstood how the prisoner evac works, called evac before having secured your target and got so butt blasted you rage quitted and years later you type several posts demanding anons to tell you that you are a super good and sensible gamer.You are super good and sensible player and your wife loves you.
>>738459508I just wanted to say I agree with all of your points in this thread, and the other anon seems to be arguing just to argue. Which now that I think about it, is about the type of person I'd expect to like nucom2 over oxce-BAI
Here niga jeezhttps://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1531883724&searchtext=pyrrhic
>>738459918No the other anon is right, and I am constantly fascinated that game dick riders like you exist to defend bad mechanics. The game don't love you mang, it just doesn't matter that much.
>>738460085It matters to you
>>738459614Fair, and I appreciate you hearing my gripe anon. I know its not even all bad but Jesus Christ that's fucking unpleasant to die to something that arbitrary in a tactics game.And I'm used to bullshit, oxce I've had a reaction fire rocket shooting into my dropship as I step out, hits the back interior wall, immediately 16 people dead, all gear gone, 1 million dollar ship gone, and the council is now screaming at me why I fucked up so bad...THAT Hurts, but you can apply it to "rocket guys are evil, and exiting your dropship is hell". And really even that scenario is rare.But to something as simple and arbitrary as that kinda feels like if you plan really hard writing a paper for class, you spend 7 hours on it, research everything, triple check everything, hand it in, the teacher immediately sets it on fire and pisses on it, saying you should of used a #2 pencil (he never told you this before now btw).It just completed ruined me because despite all other gripes, I WAS very immersed and into it up til then, but after I felt like there was no point if I might encounter ANOTHER arbitrary cause of death, screwing over meticulous planning.>>738459956Thanks. Honestly I didn't even play oldcom till i played nucom to death. But I can't go back after xcom 2 lol.>>738459918To say I misunderstood Is to say the game EVER Tried to inform me it worked that way. Cheesy fuck you deaths work ok as immediate gags or something, but absolutely not as some surprise mechanic with not even so much as an excuse. Literally even a "brb being shot" would of made it like 70 Better.I also don't think you could say I got filtered, its basically a fucking bug. Did I get filtered by tomb raider angel of darkness when that spontaneous bleeding to death bug killed me?>>738459978This doesn't fix my problem. I don't care if its victory or not, i didn't FLEA because I was overwhelmed, i set evac down because it was the fastest path out when done
>>738460385Game mechanics? yeah, we're on a vidya board. I'm saying the game studio as an entity doesn't love you. The fact you didn't pick that up explains a lot.
>>738449587Lets see:MewgenicsVandal HeartsFFTWell, okay XCOM 2 is up there somewhere maybe.
Chess is the best turn based game ever made until you get to 1600-1800
>>738460709Xcom 2 is around Renowned Explorers in the listing
Apparently there were some people who had trouble with the overly-generous mission timers.I got a mod that reduced them to challenge myself.
>>738460598kind of agree with your point about shit being "because game"I stopped liking the game affter I completed the objective, called evac, but the game treated it as a failure because I hadn't killed all the aliens. As far as I remember, them game tells you the early retreat is an option. So to me, that was a smart move; rather than risk losing troops in a difficult fight, take the thingy and scarperplus the timer bullshit. It really shouldn't start until they see you
>>738460598You'd think if the game wanted you to set the evac before you had secured the prisoner, it would tell you that? Weren't you supposed to be smart?
>>738461052>plus the timer bullshit. It really shouldn't start until they see youI've read many scrubs saying Xcom 2's timers were too tight but I never noticed them being too tight. Maybe it's just some psychological thing that because there's a timer no matter how lenient, it fucks certain type players up
>>738449869Ja2, sure. Not ja3>>738452516This is actually respectable opinion but JA2 still surprises it>>738455037I like it with mods; maybe the new behemoth edition helped, but I played it a few years ago with the terror from the void mod. Decent if you give it a chance, there are cool aspects about it for sure. >>7384584177.62 or desperados>>7384595752>3 but 3 is the best one in about 25 years of bullshit like back in action and ja: rage
>>738459520You can change a setting to have it pause whenever you select skills, otherwise it defaults to slow-mo, it's not very rts-coded.
>>738460709I like Vandal Hearts and FFT but they are hardly on the bar of Mewgenics and Xcom 2>>738460625I like playing and discussing vidya I like. I don't go to threads about games that I don't like or don't interest me
>>738460598Just load your saved game bro. UFO defense is the best game of all time. Mods of openxcom are incredible. The Xcomfiles especially. X-Piratez isn't my cup of tea but a lot of you degen fags would love it
>>738461163even without struggling with the timers, I still think that there's a disconnect between the game saying "the aliens will shut down this mcguffin if you're detected" and then the timer is already there, as though your presence is irrelevant
>>738461163>because there's a timer no matter how lenient, it fucks certain type players upThis is me. I'm fully capable of competing missions within timers, but it usually leads to less than optimal outcomes and implies that the Dev's priorities supercede my own, so I just ignore them and make the best tactical decisions that are possible within the framework and eat whatever dumb penalty timers tend to impart. If I can remove the timer, I usually do. I don't really enjoy my fun arbitrarily ending at some pseudorandom interval, tbdesu.
>>738461417Isn't there a faction perk that makes the timer start running when you are revealed
>>738461431You can just watch the ending from Youtube while holding controller and pretend you beat the game.
>>738449735fpbp
>>738460914The mission timers by themselves are fine, but shit rigged to blow when they DON'T know you are there is absolutely stupid, and ruins immersion...do they just, casually rig shit to blow, for fun? Why are they so well armed then?This is made worse by the fact I expect such reasoning of xcom, even if its contrived. But there's none.>>738461052See, I think I'd almost prefer that, because my map was clear entirely. Everything dead, safe. It set bird down, and still let me go to objective, and then AFTER, I get punished because how dare I pick my own evac.>>738461076Its not about what the games wants. I wanted a quick exit. The gave me a mechanic that looked exactly like that. The game gave me no "btw ship gonna move" warning. Nothing. And moved without even a "oh sorry I'm in danger trust me".Your argument is basically saying I'm fucking stupid because I didn't play like all its fanboys, and I deserved it because evac is only for if you fail, and I should SOMEHOW KNOW, that if I become a winner, the failure van leaves because I'm not a failure, but am now winner because I got the dude, but also because I planned to escape on the failure bus and not the winner bus, that I fail anyway. I shouldn't ever try experimenting.What??No, there's multiple solutions to make this less shit.Say the lz is hotKeep the ship there.Give me a quick prompt to move or keep it there 3 stupid easy solutions right there.>>738461337I was iron manning... and enjoying it, up till that.
>>738461163It depends if you play the vanilla game or with the DLCs. The vanilla game is harder and the timers are much more of an issue.
>>738449735Based villain slayer
>>738455037No. It's based on XCOM 2 but where you can aim the guns of your dudes in first person most. So you can potentially hit anything through walls with a sniper. That's fun for a little while but the game is also extremely unbalanced and lacks any real depth since fundamentally it's just a clone game.
>>738449735I can't believe it single handedly killed Limbus.
>>738461618So your first attempt of playthrough didn't hand you the win because you overthought things and made dumb decisions and ragequitted and now a decade after the game was released you make posts about it.
>>738461618Why would you ironman your first playthrough?
They wonnered
>xcom but real-time and huge persistent levels you'll likely need to return to several times.I liked it more.
>>738461840Literally WHAT logic could leave me to believe its a dumb decision, besides trusting devs to be worth a shit?The evac was ABOVE MY HEAD, he saw me, everything was dead, and I was set to enter EVERYONE into his evac in a single turn.Why is it DUMB to think a military pilot would wait literally 5 seconds to save people he literally has visual on???Like I said a single throwaway line would of saved this, but the devs coded it to move and didn't ONCE consider player's might tactically apply a strategic exit post objective. They didn't even CONSIDER anyone would ever do this, and give a warning, despite literally coding in this specific case for it to move.>>738462034Fair question, and idk. I'd played a lot of oxce, seen a lot of pain, and figured I could take it, and I did, i lost people, didn't complain, but it always made sense, some kinda logic. This had 0 logic.I didn't even expect to win that run, I just didn't expect such arbitrary bs to fuck me over, and its not even aliens, its my own pilot.
>>738462034NTA, but imo that's the true XCOM experience. I always play these games on ironman. If I eat shit and have to restart multiple times, then so be it. It's not really an issue for the mainline games, because they are usually the hardest in the early game and once you're in the middle game, you are pretty much guaranteed to win the campaign.
>>738462375Sounds to me you had prior mindset how you wanted the game to play and it didn't read your mind.Usually players fail, learn from their failings and adapt. You sound worse than average players.
>>738462569I play Ironman when I have first experienced the game mechanics. I was baffled in Mewgenics threads how lot of scrub anons went for dumb challenges without first allowing them learn the base game. I guess younger generation is too impatient for their own good.
>>738460869Dick is the only thing that matters. Look at south korea, incredibly successful in the ways pic described but women make fun of their dicks and they're so insecure they're unironically called them a terrorist group.Highest suicide rate in the first world because of small dick energy. A stereotypical nigger has over double the quality of life of a south korean
>>738462839Not really. South Korea is fine, africa is not.
>>738462808In my opinion, the mainline Firaxis XCOM games are balanced well-enough for first-time playthroughs being on ironman. XCOM 1 more so than XCOM 2. But still, when you fail in XCOM 2 on your first playthroughs, it's going to be almost exclusively in the early game, so it's not that bad. It's not like some of those overhaul mods out there.
ironman on the modern xcom games is a bit of a shitshow because of the bugs that still aren't fixedit's not really part of the xcom experience losing a mission because an enemy glitched into the void critting you every turn with you being unable to reach or shoot them
>>738462919Africa is doing better. Gender war is so bad in SK they're going extinct, they're celebrating birth rate going up to a whopping 0.8 per woman after the government literally had to PAY women to put up with the men
>>738461052Without timers you would just never lose because you could abuse AI so hard. The problem I have with replaying the game is that there's not enough timer based missions so it just turns into a "hmm well do I overwatch creep for perfect ambushes or do I just throw herp derp".

>>738449735I gotta give it another chance. Didn't vibe with the concept the first time around but I keep hearing about it.
>>738462569That's exactly what I was trying. I already went into it a little pessimistic, but I wanted to COMMIT TO IT, so I went iron man, not expecting a win, probably a loss, DESPERATELY trying to like it. And I was getting into it, but that moment absolutely crushed it because I immediately went from "man, this is cool, I can strategically evac and avoid the security response entirely lol, i wish I could do that in oxce" to "WHY THE FUCK DID YOU MOVE YOU KILLED US ALL!!!" While the pilot just shrugs without a word.Between it being my pilot, and 0 acknowledgment from the game, and sheer whiplash from finally liking it, to catching a turd in my mouth, it broke me.>>738462663Its not about reading mind, it's absolutely shit design. Consider this, you are IN CHARGE of coding evac. Just evac, its your fucking job. You are supposed to make it good for the player. You code in that player can call this evac LITERALLY ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, And it doesn't fail mission, doesn't cause problems, ect. And since this conflicts with the mission end evac potentially, what do you do ..differ to current evac? Ask player which evac they want? Say ship is under fire? No, you fucking MOVE IT away from them, no warning, reasoning, excuse, nothing, AND, Also refuse to let the player move it back Because "lol evac landed bro" despite it already being landed before right on my head.That's objectively shit game design, and they barely had a QA team.>>738463148I wouldn't mind failing early game. Infact I probably could of recovered from that mission fine, but the combination of that shit coding, 0 acknowledgment, pilot killing you, and 0 acknowledgment by the game made me livid.I'll repeat til cows come home, a single "I'm under fire, finding save lz" would of made this tolerable but from my perspective it might of been the pilot noticed his ex was down there and wanted them to die, and played dumb
>>738463307It's not, they live in mutthuts, they kill each other, mothers eat their babbies cause they don't have anything to eat, they kill da whitey cause deym be racist.1 single korean man can repopulate Korea, the entire decline is purely economical, the wealthier classes abused the man for way too long. No, no needs or wants dindus, they are a jewish biological weapon that kills entire civilizations.
