Yup, I'm thinking Star Wars is BACK
Star: Not a single star in the whole fucking gameWars: More like a minor skirmishZero: As in zero salesCom: As in cumPany: as in pony, as in My Little PonyGame is gonna be ass
It's the most repetitive and clunky tbs game ever released outside eurobloc xcom clones.
>The first good Star Wars game to come out since the start of the Sequel Era is set in the Clone WarsEven the biggest Prequel haters must admit that this has all been one giant misstep.
>>746472612And how little it fucking matters to anyone but themselves.
>>746472843I hate the prequel movies but I like the Clone Wars EU.Not Filoni Wars though.
Is the game good though? Ive never played xcom but im down to toss a few dozen canadabucks on something decent.
>>746472960There's still no real reason to play anything but XCOM if you've yet to play XCOM. This is for people who have played too much XCOM and want variety.
>>746472960yeah its pretty good, especially if youre new to the genre
>>746472843The Jedi Survivor games were brety gud and were set between the PT-OT.
What the fuck did he mean by this?

This shit is so retarded it's unreal
>>746473203(((Muuns)))
>>746473295thats xcom baby
Brother...
>>746473215I wanted to like that game but it just kept packing on system after system that I just didn't care about. Felt like I was still in the tutorial after 3 hours.
The mandalorian chick is hyper broken if you have a scout on your team (or multiclass her into scout)Max rank electro dart only costs 1(one) advantage point. You can cast it as many times a turn as you want and has very long range and cannot miss.Detonate dart creates an AOE around each of the darts, and costs only 4advantage points to activate. You can do this multiple times per combat.So basically you get these huge mobs of enemies later in the game right? Well they turn into self-detonating AOE packs with electro dart spam, you just AOE scout for 1 action, cast your darts all over the place, and then blow them up. It's 5x as much damage anyone else can produce, and completely bypasses the action point economy because its purely advantage points.The only drawback is the AOE can hit your team mates, so you have to position her away from everyone else and be careful of melee, but hardly an issue because....she also has a rocket pack that gives her perfect mobility also for no action points, but only advantage points It completely trivializes the game on 'normal'. So maybe its a good strat for harder difficulty.
any good mods yet to fix woke slop?
>Order 66 just happened>Hawks asks Tel-Rea how much lightsabers are going for nowadaysThis fucking guy
>>746473528it's a 100-250 hour game so yeah you were
>>746473593Yeah, it’s called Russian Roulette. Try it out.
>>746473620The main story is less than 10 hours
>Once A ROUND finish off an enemy within range that reaches low HPvs>If you're a total scrub and get downed, reviveGEE I wonder what I'm gonna take on every single mission in the entire god damn game, and who's gonna sit in the holo-cuck chair and watch.

>>746473624couldn't find it, can you show me?
>>746473665We're talking about troubleshooter
they referenced the thing!
I want Hawks to wear his helmet 24/7 but man, those facial animations in the cutscenes are waaaay too good to miss out on.
Radial around the character is probably the worst ways to show your abilities. I hope they can mod it to be an xcom style bar on your screen instead.
>>746473839It's a toggle in the options
>>746473839bro...
>>746473839I agree.
>>746472378This game sucks. Refunded quickly.All the chick faces are nothing but uggos and the bodies are ridiculous.When you change the bottom pants, some of the options bowleg the characters legs. No tits at all. It's all so stupid...I miss Lucas so much, he kept the franchise in line. We couldn't even get a Darth Talon because homo Dave Faloni said Twi'leks are too sexualized.

Can I kill Geonoshians?Can I have Droidekas?
>>746473620Yeah, it just wasn't for me.
>random enemy mook>120 hp>have auto counter attack that inflicts daze>have another mook on the other side of the map that can take damage in its place>have an AOE melee attackThis piece of shit npc was harder than the mandalorian quest boss, what the fuck was that about

How do the bond stats work? Do you only gain these bonus stats when you are in a team with the bonded member? Or can you have one character be gangbanged by your whole roaster, to turn him into a super-soldier?
>>746474027That would be marxism with ancap as a close second. However ancap characters are more entertaining and can do some funny shit so it’s fun to play as them in games.
>>746473949Hmmm, will check it out, probably wait for it to go on sale.
post your clys i need some inspiration
>>746474085The latter. Rotate hawks' squadmates to make him a god
>>746473593what woke slop? is your clitty leaking because your crypto scamming criminal accountant shared her opinion?
When you unlock the ability to multi-class, do you get to multiclass the Jedi and Mando?
>no option to save your color load outsaaaaa
>>746473695Not gamebreaking but still a pretty noticeable buff
>>746474123
>>746474085latter.Rotate an Astromech's squadmates and pick Utility damage, grenade, crit, or HP everyitme.The coil will literally beg you to stop
>>746474289The jedi padawan gets her own unique 2nd skill tree to represent her further training, mando does get to choose whatever tree she wants for the 2nd spec
>>746474123Nah, Marxism can technically work in small communities and gets harder the bigger the community is, and at least has a "Wouldn't it be great if everyone could share and not be a dick?". Ancap is just pants on head retarded start to finish. Starting with the fact that it's inherently self contradictory. You can't have "anarcho" a leaderless system, and "Capitalism", a system that requires private ownership of the means of production. "No Gods, No kings, except the owning class of course!" But this shit ain't vidya. There's no real economy based shit in the game that allows you to make an ancap character. You could clothe him in black and yellow trooper armor I guess.
>>746474289The Jedi gets her own second class and the Mando, you can give her anything for her second class
>>746473784there's all sorts of oblique little references like that. Like one of the generic operators asked Jae if she's wearing Ghorman leather.
Its not that good of a game. There is extremely little enemy variety.>Droids>Battle Droids>Sniper Droids>Melee droids>Droideka>Pirates>Melee Pirates>Coil>Melee coilThat's it. No tanks. No rancors. No gunships (other than a scripted one). No dark jedi. No mounted enemies. It feels like a long demo.
It looks like the upgrade system incentivizes everyone to use the same type of weapon, is this true?
>>746473949>Can I be ancap>NoHawk is literally ancap tho
>>746474337My personal hope is for a grenadere astromech to become a canon member of Zero Company in the sequel.Shits so broken. Grenade off the ledge, Grenade off the cover, Grenade off the their spawn points.
>>746474326I’m not a fascist. >>746474353>Nah, Marxism can technically work in small communities and gets harder the bigger the community is, and at least has a "Wouldn't it be great if everyone could share and not be a dick?"Being a bugman is no way to live even on a small scale, and what you’re referring to is communalism.
>>746474398there's more than just Coil and melee Coil. Also there's Magnaguards and stormtroopers. And I assume you meant the grenade spam droids as the melee droids.>no dark Jedi:^)
>>746474430 The game is easy enough that you don't need to worry about build autism.
>>746474398>No dark JediAbout that…
>>746474451Ru is ancap, Hawks is libertarian at best.A Democrat at worst
Sequel needs>Wookies>Bowcasters>Force Pikes>Vibroblades>Vehicle support>Fauna monsters>Wolf dudes>Slave Leia outfit>Recruitable Watto
>>746472378Yup, I'm thinking you're a marketer
About how many cycles is the game?
>>746472960Seems like baby's first XCOM, not worth full price.
This shit is legit unbeatable >attack it? get counter attacked and dazed>try to shock it to reduce movement? It's immune>try to kill it? A cocksucker on the other side of the map takes damage in its place>get within 1km radius? enjoy a melee AOE
After having to deal with tels cute bullshit getting Anakin for a mission is feeling like crack in the 70s
>>746474398It's shit for a lot more reason than this. Bad story/writing, bad dialogue, bad characters, bad voice acting, bad technical and performance problems, bad gameplay that is dozens of steps back from Midnight Suns and XCOM 2. It's not even good as a Star Wars game even if you want to overlook the gameplay problems and deficiencies.
almost done with the animations for my full customization mod but it's nearing impossible to give Hawk or anyone else the dual sabers with all the animation tomfoolery behind the scene. but i did manage to get pretty far.
>Permadeath is 3 injuriesDoes that mean injury level 3, or 3 injuries total over your career?
>>746472960It's not great. It is being heavily shilled by marketers here. These threads are not organic. It barely even feels like Star Wars because the writers failed massively on that front.
>>746474673The characters are the best part. Probably the only videogame I have ever played where I actually liked the entire party.
>>746474676How do you make animations for the game? You can't export the skeleton, can you?
>>746472378is it just me or overwatch is broken(if it hits)?
>>746472378I wish you could recruit B1's I feel so bad slaughtering them..they scream ffs.>WhyyYyyyyyy????Oh god, it breaks my heart every time.
>>746474398Is this a bot or something lol
>>746474647Yeah, and charge doesn't trigger overwatch which is bullshit
>>746474770im not making anything im linking back to tel's
>>746474743Your talking to a shitposter btw
>>746474578>back to OT-era>use the same stuff as OTWe could have so much more now though. rogue jedis, inquisitors, defecting storm troopers, retired clones, force sensitives. I wish new media would expand OT instead of just sticking with the initial universe
>>746474451Hawk believes in the Republic, hes no ancap
>>746474398Xcom 1 Had:>Ayys & ayy comander>Thin Ayys>Zerker Ayys>Chryssalid>cyberdisc + support drone>Etheral>8 different flavour of Exalt (essentially enemy versions of your classes)>Floater & heavy floater>Mechtoid>muton & Muton elite>outsider>Sectopod>seeker (aka: fuck your sniper)>ZombieSo Xcom1 had already more enemy types, but also the enemies all had very distinct flavour, so to speak. Dealing with Berserkers was very different from how you deal with Sectoids, was different from how you deal with Cyberdisks. In this game I feel like all I do is point & shoot, with the only noticable decision making happening with that annoying ass "You killed me now the next guy is stronger" mechanic. Plus: There is just never that cool situation where an alien runs into a house, or UFO, And you know it's gonna fuck you up if you follow, so you explode the god damn wall, and your sniper from 2 football fields away re-arranges the problems brain matter.
>Male Hawks is super southern>Female Hawks isnt>But theres a female operator personality thats super southern???
>>746474813Standalone expansion where we play as the Separatists when? >Customizable B1s>Genoshians>Playable Dooku and Grievous cameos>Playable shark people>Jedi and clones as enemies
>>746474875>including expansion enemies
>>746472378yes!!! make more AA star wars games PLEASE
>>746474914they wanted the femShep audience with femHawks.
I shoot thought male Hawks was Matt Mercer. It sounds so much like McCree on certain lines
>>746474916Oh god, yes! Id be so into it. >I didnt bow to the corrupt republic, I didnt bow to the empire. Im a Sepratist! Count Duku was a visonary!!! Cut down in his prime by the jedi..
>>746474875Yeah. There is no comparison between Xcom and this game in enemy types. XCom has a way deeper, more varied and interesting enemy lineup.
>>746474875This is dead on. There's no real depth or variety in this game. Every firefight and map basically play out the same because the ceiling for tactical approaches and creativity is extremely low and shallow.
>>746474173I keep it simple and pick the most feminine outfit pieces, except maybe the helmetThe classic Mando helmet just looks the best imo
>>746474693injury level 3
game could use some weapon variety for sure, but it definitely captures the feel of a star wars battle. also more way more alien customization. there should be like 20 races, it's star wars.
I hate that so many of the maps are just a generic spaceport or dockyard. The rare time you get the Tattoine village tileset is so much more kino. But we also needed proper interiorn maps like long ship corridors, or cramped cantinas. Part of the reason the game is repetitive is not just the enemies, but also every map is more or less the same.
shieeeet
>>7464746933 injuries in a single mission. you'll notice antonio starts with 1 and then takes 2 more and dies in the tutorial. keep in mind your injuries carry over on a multi battle mission.
>>746475147Ahsoka is in the game?
>>746475179She is
>>746475110And there should be a system for having Hawks and randoms be Jedi as well. I'd love if there were some kind of RNG Force sensitivity system for your recruits to discover they have it and then you can level that as their secondary class or something.
>>746474483U cant say that until youve beaten it on the hardest difficulty on hardcore.
>>746475179she was a good friend
>>746475181>Can only use rocket once per missionWhat were they THINKING?!
>>746473295>error noise>can clearly see the enemy>enemies turn>they can hit you thoughFuck off.
>>746474173she has a FAT ass
>>746472467Incredible post. Sensational.
Which weapon type goes best on the Mando? The pistol is a peashooter and without gunslinger to chain infinite 1AP shots, it sucks. The sniper rifle maybe, since you can jetpack for zero AP and get into nice overwatch positions?
>>746475181FOOOR THE DAYYY WE SEEE NEW LIIIIGHT
TRICKNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
>>746475123Ultimately, this is a pretty rushed cash grab and a few hours with the game reveal a lot of cracks. The $50 pricetag just goes to show they knew how unfinished and unambitious it is, and had little faith in it selling due to how tarnished and repellant the Star Wars brand has become.
>>746475290ewok lookin ass
I had a feeling Trick would be the favorite around here. >>746475228Dude it basically wipes a whole wave of enemies.
>>746475290Why did he do it?
>>746475181Based Trick
Was Cly a Filoniverse Shitto? I watched a lot of Clone Wars but don't remember her, but the game reveals her as though I should and Hawk fawns all over her.
>>746475381A good question, for another time.
This is mandatory viewing for every clone growing uphttps://youtube.com/shorts/yxPxNWtui7c?is=bD4IiUjcVMn0U3aB
>>746475381Good soldiers follow orders
>>746475403No, I'm pretty sure not.
>>746475315The good thing about this game selling well though is it does send a loud message that people are so much more receptive to games $50 than at $70.
>>746475403I'm gonna guess not, but maybe her Clan is
>>746475403oh my god dude...>story wants to introduce the "infamous super cool bounty hunter" character>>URMMM, SHOULD I KNOW THIS FROM MULTIMEDIA FRANCHISE!?
>>746475469Yeah the wiki says this is her first appearance. The reveal is weird. She comes out of nowhere. Your friend is like "Hawk, I have someone you will really want to see", and then Cly walks through the door and they stand silent for a beat with the camera on her as though the player is supposed be like "Ooooo gluh shitto I member her!"
>>746474916>>746474978This. Or even better, a sequel set between Episodes 3 & 4 where we play as a Separatist holdout and have to fight against the Empire.
>>746475553Nah because we fight the Empire all the time. We never get to fight the Republic.
>>746475272pistol lets her squeak out a bit more advantage, not like she really uses AP for anything
>>746472378>Playing Starslop in 2026I'm disappointed in you anons.
>>746475315and yet it's still managed to sell better than any other Star Wars game on Steam since EA came limping back
>>746474916It would be cool to have a droid cannon fodder mechanic where you can keep calling in more droid reinforcements as long as your general is alive and has reinforcement points or something. It would mix up the gameplay quite a bit.
>>746474949Okay, strike Exalt, Mechtoid and the elites. But the point still stands. >>746474981And combat. In Xcom, every enemy felt potentially dangerous, especially at the start (There are moments where you out-tech them and they become fodder, if you know what you're doing, tho). And very quickly, each time I attack a group, my brain goes: "Okay, this guy is the highest danger, I'll try to kill him X, and if that doesn't work, I'll try Y, and if that misses too, I'll hit him with Z", Z usually being either a 100% hit chance sniper, or 100% hit chance rocket launchers. In zero company I'm just kinda pinging away at stuff, not really caring. I discovered a pretty strong combo, of using the assist ability, on an enemy marked for crit, together with kabbs ability to mark an enemy to also assist on it, resulting in 3 attacks on enemy that are guaranteed to crit for as little as 2AP (depending on who shoots) and 7Advantage. Or 2 guaranteed crits for 2ap~ I guess if you don't wanna spend the advantage. And half the time I don't bother setting it up because it's overkill, and I know I should because it gives bond. But fuck me, it feels so silly setting up a massive overkill attack on an enemy that has 4 HP left, just because it gives bond. >>746475039The maps are also smaller I think. I feel like Xcom maps had way more long hallways and big fields of engagement. Maybe I need to play more, but every map I was on so far, was basically the equivalent to one screen worth of Xcom 2 map.
I like star wars but I'm kinda tired of the fact that eevery single game takes place between episode 3 and 4 because >before episode 1 there are no siths officially>after episode 6 the empire is destroyed and you're not allowed to tread on the disney trilogyThere's no window in this franchise in which you can set up an interesting game it seems but now there are 10000 jedi that survived order 66 and went into hiding and 10000 plots were set up and resolved in that timeframe.
>>746474734Can you provide details or is your side of the discussion limited to "it be bad"
>>746475726they tried to set up a new era with High Republic but Acolyte shot it in the head execution-style
>>746475726that's why Disney is pushing for the High Republic and fired Kathleen Kennedy
>>746475726>every single game takes place between episode 3 and 4 Name 3 not including Zero Company
>>746475272Pistol easely. It gives a ton of advantage, you can use her mobility skill to go into the middle of enemies, fire several 100% accuracy shots that can crit if you went into gunslinger and then use the advantage to get out of there or use her electric AOEPlus, there are a bunch of really good mods you can put on pistols
>>746475726>There's no window in this franchise in which you can set up an interesting game it seems but now there are 10000 jedi that survived order 66 and went into hiding and 10000 plots were set up and resolved in that timeframe.this is definitely the dumbest part of the spinoffs
>>746475726>every single game takes place between episode 3 and 4 because The billion games that came out during Lucas' time, set in a bunch of different eras, kinda prove otherwise.
>>746475726The Old Republic. Disney are absolute retards for not doing Old Republic stuff.
Is best Jedi in this game?
>>746475782Force unleashedJedi survivor Fallen order
>>746475782>Fallen Order>Jedi Survivor>Star Wars: Outlawswas this supposed to be hard?
The repeater doesn't seem to have a purpose. Its does everything worse.
>>746475865Those don’t count
>>746475863idk what the fuck this is but the new best jedi is my bug wife
>>746475859>The cool wind felt good against his exposed faceplateI normally think this joke isn't that funny but that got me
>>746475887it's a great wombo-combo with Scoundrel's guaranteed crit
>>746475470That is very true. I want to hope the industry learns the right lesson from that, but I kind of doubt it. They would all rather fail pretending they can charge as much as GTA6 instead.
>>746475869>>746475865never heard of them, dont exist as far as im concerned
>>746475832Disney believes in the power of cross-franchise cameos and references. They forced the MCU to drown in that shit.Old Republic has 0 (zero), reference they can make>Kotoris no longer canon according to Disney
im having funhttps://files.catbox.moe/ula5fp.mp4
>>746475726>you're not allowed to tread on the disney trilogyIt's more that nobody really cares about the Disney trilogy universe. Just as nobody really cares much about the prequel universe. after the fall of Anakin, till the death of Palpatine is essentially the "interesting" part of Star Wars, with Clone Wars being the minor exception for a tiny bit of Star Wars that people care about pre-fall of Anakin. It's like Harry Potter. People to this day care about the original novel/movie storyline. Just fucking TRY to get someone to care about the storyline in Fantastic beasts, or Hogwarts Legacy. You can't fucking do it. The most people care about Fantastic Beasts is how funny it is that "Wizards must not stop Hitler" is a key element of the good guys, which is wild.
Is there a single bad class? Everything so far seems at least good if not broken
>>746475553I want to kill reb-i mean, Republic scum.
What's a good secondary spec to put on Clive.I'm thinking gunslinger but idk
>>746476171gunslinger is pretty normal. After other party members gain chaff clearing utilities/abilities
>>746476236scout
Are there branching story paths/choices? Or is it just X-Com with a starwars paint job?
>>746476171Gunslinger is weak as the game goes on the specialize in killing the battledroids, but eventually you have so many grenades you can clear them way faster that way.Medic is also pretty pointless since raising people is only 1ap, they don't lose a turn when downed, and you can get downed 3 times. You pretty much are always better off using your AP offensively.
>>746476236Scout. You use ability that gives the special points, and then dart everyone.
>>746476356>You pretty much are always better off using your AP offensively.I can't think of a single tactics game where this isn't the case
>>746476287no branching story paths, but more story than Xcom, that's for sure
>not single white male characterStar Wars is back, bros.
>>746476463Damn really? Not even like a "light side/dark side" ending/path? That's disappointing.
Mando should have had unique utilitys like the Jedi does for things like flamethrowers, wrist rockets, lassos, and vibroblades.
>>746476504He is wrong. You do have some choices to make.
>>746476356Medic's permastim is almost worth it all on its own, and injuries do come with a stat penalty (and credit cost to clear) that it's not the worst idea to avoid them if possible.
nuwars will never be fixed until they start making sexy ayys again
Idk how many of you know this but when you push an enemy into overwatch, it activates the turn you use it AND you keep it for the opponent's turn AND the damage dealt bypasses Droideka shields.
>>746475381Shut up clanker
>>746472960legit looks boring af from the footage i've seen, i'm sure if you enjoy the genre and skip every cutscene you'll get something out of it though
>>746476748Yup, Tel-Rea trivializes droidekasI'll have to avoid using her on a 2nd run
Do you ever get more weapons than the 4 you start with? Seems kinda limited if its just them
>plague makes you immortalhmmm whom does this remind me of... ?
>>746476748that's good to know. I've just been pushing people into death pits
>>746476816I dunno
Its crazy that Star Wars Bounty Hunter was the last attempt at a Mandalorian game.
>>746476816SOMEHOW....
>Canon Hawks is a white male Southerner>Bad guys are bug chasing niggersDid they not submit this to Sweet Baby?
Anyone else thinks the sniper is kinda shit?
>>746476816reminder that ever bit of nuwars post tros has had shit in it to retroactively have sheev somehow returning make sense and it's painfully obvious every time they try to do it
I'm actually enjoying it so far (I didn't pay for it)
>>746476962it also seems like every other character is involved in a heterosexual relationship>Kabb has a wife and kids>Luco makes out with his wife the first time you see him>you're hunting down Cly's husband>you can ship Runa and Bennic>Hawks has an ex-wife he's hung up on
>>746476787>this type of game is only good if you enjoy that type of gamedamn..
>>746476962Sony owns Sweet Baby now, so if we're lucky that means most other companies won't be involved with them anymore.However, this game is terminally woke so you really aren't slipping out this.
>>746477135please tell me you have the demolition perk
People keep talking about how gay this game is but won't post any of the gay content
Can I romance qt rhodesian girls?
>>746477198see >>746477137
>>746477198some of the models are ugly but I haven't really come across any homos in game. maybe they just mean gay as in lame.
Tenpted to get a Gunslinger just to deal with missions with B1 hordes.
>>746477195Abu Bakir is a Chechnyan Sniper
>>746477198It's not that gay, just a bit bland like all TBS. Lack of enemy diversity, and a weird plethora of nigger hairstyles for some reason. Frankly it feels like this was not meant to be a star wars game and was made a star wars game after all of the core mechanics were made.
>>746475726OT barely showed how life was for people in the empire, for the PT that was like 50% or more of it. There's just more interesting things you can do story wise. Andor was the only thing that really explored that side for when the empire ruled, and this game has that same kind of milquetoast social critique but I'll take it over Filoni-wank
>>746477198>People keep talking about how gay this game ibecause culture war shit is the only thing people on /v/ care about
>>746477465pretty sure that's the development story, the devs were shopping around their XCOM clone and EA said they'd pay for it if they made it Star Wars.
>>746475772>high republicIt seems like they kind of dropped that shit because it flopped, I bet it gets memoryholed in the third respawn game
>>746472467fpbp
The dialog and characters in this is better than in XCOM.
>>746477360gunslinger with a blaster rifle has been very useful to me.
>>746477198there isn't any wokeshit in this game, just a few underage retards thought because Runa the accountant is having a neurotic meltdown about finances, that she's some sort of girlboss
>>746477630SW team have been real quiet.They're cooking something.Baby Yoda/Grogu was one of the most well kept secrets disney ever planned for years.
I should not have spent those early thousands on shitty black market stuff, I'm poor as fuck rn
>>746477067I hate the sequels but the EU did the exact same with the prequels, I get why they're doing it. Except Sheev returning was a million times worse and the only lore we ever got for it came from fucking Fortnite.
>>746477502you mean Rogue One?
>>746478181and how'd that work out for them
>>746478306Grogu made Disney millions anon....
>>746478239Rogue One didn't show shit about civilian life under the Empire
>>746478325which they immediately flushed down the toilet with Acolyte, Book of Boba Fett, Mando Season 3, Ahsoka, Mando&Gogurt...
It's funny how much Midnight Suns DNA is in this game, they must've gotten the creative director of that game or something.
>>746478417I see people mention this game now in this context, but I don't know a single person who played it, and have never seen a thread about it on /v/.
>>746478510>but I don't know a single person who played itThere's dozens of us.>and have never seen a thread about it on /v/.For good reason, that game had its issues and it had no sexy girls to make up for them.
Would you hire him?
>>746478401well, yea. 1 Win and 100 loses is still 1 win.The Grogu initiative was literally a 3 year project from 2017 of secretly making a show, toys, and merch without leaking is an achievement.For sure they're trying another 3 year initiative
>>746478568Seems like a reasonable young man.
>>746478417I don't see it.
>>746476094This shit is so broken. I had to take her off my team because I have no self control and was abusing it too hard.They straight up did not playtest this character, or their QA lied about having done so.
>>746478568>specialistGunny and Professional have better dialogues and lines
>>746478568for the name megadookie alone, yes.
>>746475403No, she's just a mandalorian archetype. Specifically nu-mandalorian, the kind that's culturally forbidden to take off helmets.
>>746478597Baby Yoda with Boba Fett as his baby sitter tv show leaked repeatedly, but nobody cared/believed it since it was too fucking stupid to believe that it was a real thing.
I even updated my BIOS to try to get this game to run well enough to play. No luck.
Hawks is a retarded name. The protagonist's name should have been Hawk, but then everyone would confuse him with the Dragon Age guy.
>>746472467This is the citizen kane of shitposting,
Do I really need to pay 600 glorpbux every time someone gets injured or will they heal eventually over time?
>>746478882You should generally avoid your guys being injured at all.
>>746478882Hand over the credits, boy
I'm really fed up with how much of a slog fights are on expert, giving you a squad of 4 and throwing you against the same number of enemies that you'd see in a normal xcom game when everything has massively bloated HP was a huge mistake
>>746478882med beds are free, just rotate someone else in for a mission.
>>746472612It's amazing how much of modern leftist discourse is just automatically sucking off every corporate product to the point where they get tribal over it.
>>746472378Bitreactor has potential. If they could iterate on this with refinements and add several more complex mechanics (which OG XCOM has), they would have an amazing game.
>>746478906I dont usually but somebody in here said you dont need medic since he keeps rallying his downed characters. That made me wonder if you even need to pay to heal them because that sounds very inefficient on credits
>>746479037medic only heals their health in an operation, not their injuries
>>746478717you have....evidence of these leaks? because I'm in most the discussion forums; and more than half the shit there were leaked "true scripts" of Episode 7/8/9.
>>746472843Okay, let's be honest here, what would have been the options for the point in time to set this in?>Galactic WarOverdone, especially in the strategy genre>Early New Republic/Sequel EraWhile the early New Republic Era has potential due to the unemployed former Rebellion soldiers and Imperial Remnants being around, plus whatever group would try to take advantage of the power vacuum, there is just too little media set in that time frame, and nobody wants to be a pioneer. And the Sequel Era is obviously fucked ahd gay, ain't nobody wanna touch that>Old RepublicDisney don't wanna touch that since they lack full IP control over that>Knight ErrantDead, came out right before the Disney acquisition>High RepublicWhile fighting against Hyperspace Viking Cultist sounds cool so far ANYTHING set in that Age was so unbelievably bad that you got the same situation as with the sequel eraHonestly Clone Wars was probably the best pick, like it or not.
>send 19 defense trick into the middle of the map, in the open>just have him stand there and occasionally use the aoe taunt thing and plink 3 things with a pistol>the retarded AI focuses him exclusively despite doing no damage and having no defense pierce (apparently)>do whatever I want with the rest of my guys this game is a little too easy to break, its also very linear so I'm not sure about a 2nd playthroughoverall I think its fine for $50, and for a starwars game its pretty good compared to the recent stinkers, I just really hope they take this formula and expand it into a proper autistic tactics game (they won't, I just hope they do)
>>746479110>because I'm in most the discussion forumsmassive self own
>>746474621even easier that mario rabids or alien dark descent? im one of those tards that can't handle losing someone on my squad so i save scum xcom, im also pretty ass at these games overall so something on the easy side might be pretty cool
>>746477135you know he doesn't look out of place at all
>>746479178you think I give a fuck? I have hobbies and participate in communities of those hobbies.Now where's your "leaks" buddy.
>>746479209Dark Descent had me on edge 24/7, fuck that game was good.
>>746479209Yes
>>746479225>seething about hypothetical baby yoda leaks he didn't notice
>>746479225consuming media is not a hobby
>>746479595Reading is not a hobby?
>>746479595then watching anime and playing video games aren't a hobby then?
>>746472612It's amazing how the left still can't meme.
Just ruined a second night of sleep for me because of this game. I don't think it's a masterpiece but it has me entertained, I'll give it a positive review once/if the performance issues are fixed.
>>746478943They arent
which one of these is worsethose super rockets hit like a truck if you can't stop them so I assume that but I fucked myself over on the last one so I wanna be sure
>>746480017really? the fuck is the point of a med bed then? I thought you just paid for instant healing.
>>746477198
>>746480059most people in these threads aren't casuals paying on normal
>>746480037You can literally chain kill B1s with your gunslinger, them being more accurate doesn't matter. You don't want tankier B2s.
>>746472960Yeah, I'm liking it so far. If you like xcom, you'll like this.
>>746480085>Trick! >You son of a bitch
>>746480105I assume like every other tactical game, higher difficutly is just +500% enemy damage/hp
>>746474279Not him but it is pretty noticeable when you get called a they. I'm looking past it but it definitely sticks out.
>>746480357Really? I didn't even notice until someone pointed it out here.
>>746480059You pay more for insta healing.
This fucking mission is not appearing in holotable under operations or missions, anyone had the same issue?
>>746480416It's running in the background. Dick around for another cycle.
>>746480416That means you have a free cycle to do whatever
>>746480335Hard disables the insta-heal and makes the beds cost money
the 4 squad size limit is so limiting man, about to mod this bitch
>>746480453>>746480456ty anons
>>746475726When the original trilogy is for Gen X (who don't buy product as much as they used to) and zoomers prefer the prequel to the sequels, you start to understand why literally everything Disney is doing is trying to hang on specifically to the coattails of the prequels and not anything inside any of the trilogies or before or after the entire odyssey. Even the much shilled Andor was in the vague between times.>but now there are 10000 jedi that survived order 66 and went into hiding and 10000 plots were set up and resolved in that timeframe.And they all happened on Tatooine, in Mos Eisley, where Darth Vader and Yoda were drinking blue milk whilst a twilek slave- er, sex worker, danced.
>>746473571probably worth having scout on a couple of classes tbqh
>>746480593https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarszerocompany/mods/44I gotchu, senpai
>>746480357hawk calls cly a goal-oriented individual instead of a goal-oriented woman. it sticks out whenever it happens. but the more noticeable part for someone that hasn't played a SW game since kotor 2, is the disney writing. like being reminded that this is a kid-friendly franchise and hawk is going to point out the smugglers were knocked out instead of killed and things like that. there is pretty clearly a bunch of no-no words and the writing is going to remind you whenever possible.
somewhat OK with how this one turned out, but fuck, fem faces are dire. impossible to make a decent human woman that's for sure
>>746472378I am not into star wars lore. how do people understand what hutts say or what mechs say?
>>746480798the same way people understand what Mexicans say
>>746480879But I dont know Spanish
>>746475729>limited to "it be bad"isn't that enough?
>>746480690setting foot in the GCW proper means they have to at least start considering recasting the Big 3, and they're probably terrified of even considering that after Solo bombed. Leia was already notable in her absence in Andor.
>>746472378millennials need to let starwars die it is never getting good again
>>746481189this game is good, so I guess you're wrong don't bother replying, your taste is garbage and nobody makes games for retards like you anymore because you are impossible to pleasejust go and fade away
>>746480791Do the other races get different faces?
>>746480981>Solo bombedI never understood why, did something happen at the time or did it just not get marketed or was this when Disney Wars fatigue was hitting?It was a bit boring and the plot was contrived (especially the weird bit where driving a car sideways is a crucial plot element for a spaceship in space) but it functioned fine. Its jokes were less cringe inducing than Rogue One (though my father laughed at the blind man complaining about getting blindfolded so what do I know what the peasants want) and the ending wasn't "Everyone dies, the end!" but that one was critically acclaimed and sold megabucks.... in fact I remember most of Solo's moneyshots, as CGI as they were, it was like a Sci-Fi Indiana Jones in spectacle, but I can't remember... anything... that happened in Rogue One except the black robot was SO FUNNY when he punched the woman in the face or whatever it was he did and then his death was SO TRAGIC I wanted to rip out his circuitry myself for how hard they kept waving around the death flag.
>>746481332NTa, but this game is okay at best. Calling it good is a stretch.Xcom 2 is better than it in every way.
>>746481461It was a mediocre movie that went way overbudget because of extensive reshoots (and also you couldn't fucking see anything). Think it cost literally like $600 million+.
>>746481359no
>>746481592Also coming out right after TLJ probably didn't help
>>746479037>he keeps rallying his downed charactersI'm pretty sure he's full of bullshit because those characters are nerfed until the injury is healed
>>746481583Not strictly every way, I do think they solved XCOM 2's "god squad" problem with bonds and by making almost every class a worthwhile pick for missions, whereas 2 had a pretty strict hierarchy of effectiveness.
>>746478196>bought an accuracy accessory>having a grenade is better
>>746472612Stealing memes eh? Are you black?
>>746481461Solo was>Fatigue from Disney trying to rapid fire release constant Star Wars movies MCU style instead of as "events", which ruined the magic for a lot of people.>Everyone hating the Last Jedi so much it made them quit the franchise.>The movie being written and filmed as a comedy, Disney not knowing that, panicking when they found out by firing the directors halfway through the movie, and hiring Ron Howard to film a second non-comedy movie to fill in the gaps (its why the movie is filled with so many set ups without punch-lines) which made the budget balloon to twice it's size because they had to make it twice.
what secondary class should i make my wife?
>>746481461It wasn’t for any type of SW fan is all. boomers who care about Han don’t like the new stuff. not enough lightsaber porn for hardcore slopwars fans. too whimsical for the “make it for grownups” r1/andor ppl. no prequel/ahsoka for the zoomies and cartoonies. also anti sw/sw fatigue was the online discourse at the time so most ppl dismissed as a corpo cash grab without seeing it
>>746472378This game is not balanced. What the fuck were they thinking?
I should really consider actually hiring more dudes just to fill out these scenes
>>746481461everyone got tired of the cocky funny protag humor that got milked to death by the MCU
>>746481969>stages are so small that 4 player squad is sufficient>all classes can be broken if you aren't retarded>zero reason to recruit mooks since named characters can carry anywayThis game is a joke.
>>746476816The Nerevarine!
>>746482079I don't know how it is on expert but on hard I haven't really felt any threat of anyone going down ever since like the third mission. I feel like if I had someone going down every mission then yeah I'd have more incentive to hire dudes while they rested but as is I just needed enough to tank dangerous events while my main team bond forms with hawks. Granted if they introduce a fatigue system that would just piss me off, I'd rather it be some funky shit like sending your dudes on a 1-2 cycle setup and then you get a mission where you field 6 dudes or maybe a mid-late game upgrade to get an extra dropship and run two missions in a cycle
i think the xcom "blow this building" missions don't work in this game at all without all the other xcom elements. it's just a small xcom map with bad and repetitive encounter design. now repeat it 2 to 3 times before every story mission.
>>746481461Solo was yet another Disney product that failed because they were trying to make a Star Wars Product instead just making a good movie that uses the Star Wars setting.Also everyone could immediately tell they weren't going to make Han act like the kind of person he should've been in a prequel so what's the point?
>>746472378>star wars slop + xcom slopDamn that's some shit taste
>>746481965The Coil enemies are such ridiculous bullshit.>Can constantly heal themselves to full health>Every time one dies another gets buffed to fuck>Can turn invisible and run through overwatch>Can retaliate on all attacks no matter what>Do insane amounts of melee damage>Can tank a ton of damageThere was absolutely zero thought put into making them fun to fight or fair in any way, they just gave them a million advantages and strengths over you no matter the scenario and let them shit on you every single mission relentlessly.
>>746480981>Leia>notable in her absence in Andor.Idiot
I've watched the six movies and don't really care about them but I have to admit that I felt myself suying a bit when Anakin joined my squad and was strong enough to replace my entire squad
You should have been able to become Cly's new husband after killing her old one
Marvel then star warsThey are going to make a disney princess turn based tactical strategy game arent they
>>746482603If the level has bottomless abyss, just shove those niggers there. Don't waste your time fighting them. It's just an excersize in tediousness
>>746476748>the damage dealt bypasses Droideka shields.That seems like a bug or an oversight
>>746473858>>746473862>>746473864I switched this option to linear but it still only shows a radial menu. I hope it's not like XCOM 2 where just having a gamepad plugged in fucks everything up.
>>746482603idk man maybe you are just not very good at video games this game is extremely easy (too easy)
>>746483020Way to out yourself as playing on journalist difficulty.
>>746475729Why are you replying to a schizo?
>>746483060>cries about game being too difficult>accuses others of playing on easy modenot sure what psychological gambit this is, but it just makes you sound mentally ill
>>746478671How do they eat?
>>746480085Battle brothers who hate each other are not gay
>>746482969READ YOU FUCKING ILLITERATE RETARD
>>746483176Please don't examine the monumentally retarded "lore" too closely.
>>746482603I mean once they surge they can't really do much else just keep going for the guys that aren't surging yet and leave the already surged for last or go for multi-kills with stuff like explosives or cly's electroshock. The invisidorks are actually the second easiest to deal with. Once they proc you can still reveal them with aoe damage or scans and you just need to do like one of the various CC methods like daze,stun, shock, hell even taunt and run away makes them toothless. If I had a choice I'd leave an exploder for last but the melee invisidorks are fine too. Shoot back surges are a pain to deal with but they're still vulnerable to daze and stun, or hitting them from cover. The real pieces of shit are the drain fuckers, those guys are a pain even unsurged since they can react to damage by ccing your dude but if they surge they must die full stop. Also I don't recall which unit does it but if one of them stops to channel a self-heal then thats fine too, means I don't need to waste anymore bullets on him this turn unless I can guarantee a kill and he's wasting his turn. I'll probably eat my words when I switch over to expert next run but 30 cycles in on hard and the coil are harder but still usually die before the next set of enemies spawn
>>746483176>>746483247They eat in private. They're just not allowed to let anyone else see them with their helmets off.>>746483240?
>>746483176It's only the death watch that don't take off their helmets unless they're alone(droids don't count as people so they are an exception to the rule).
>>746482682It was a fun moment :)
>a mission requires you to make a choice>Trick greatly disapprovesNo...
So how heavily are you """"encouraged"""" to use the actual characters even if all I want to do is make an armored commando unit who isn't wearing leather jackets into combat.
>>746472378I don't like that the engagements are so small in scale. It is like they are regressing the xcom formula to make it retard friendly.
>>746483727Use whomever you want
>>746472378Funny, those numbers are horizontal on my web browser. It's as if you're a phoneposter that doesn't play games.
>>746472378I think it's safe to say dudes in armor are the future of star warsthey over played the jedi and most fans who would consume are clone wars kids
>>746474916I'm still surprised how goery they were allowed to get with said shark guys, both in terms of seeing on get blown to bits with a mutilated head floating and seeing kenobi just stab one in the hand as a close up
>>746483775Yeah but how much do you miss out on by ignoring the Glupps.
>>746472378>body type gameSorry I'll just pirate it
>>746483727Outfits are shared among most people that aren't mandos, astromechs, jedi. and kabb so like super easy and the actual story companions can all be re-dressed as well. As for gameplay terms everyone on your roster gets skill points after a completed mission the only difference between someone being on the mission vs not is in forming bonds and gaining bond xp for additional passives among the team that went. Theres a way to get bond xp for people who stay behind but thats only for each other and will almost always be much less than the bond xp people who go on missions get with one another. Also yeah you have to bring them on their respective missions but other than that feel free to ignore them
>>746483960The named shittos have loyalty missions like in maseffect where they are forced on the tea. For that mission.You can ignore them and not do those missions if you want.
>>746481926wizard, the uninstall wizard
>>746474823Have you considered using Anakin's single Saber animations instead?
It's pretty rad, but I wish it was better optimized.
>>746472378Game needs an expansion with new game modes, the foundation is too strong here to do nothing with it
>>746481926Soldier is always a good choice.
>>746483727>>746484054As an example here's the random dude I had to recruit as part of the tutorial and was a part of my team for most of the first world as a medic vs Tel-rea who has no support abilities to farm bond xp and replaced her for the rest of the game. Each step on the bond tree with a person gives that pair 1-7 skill points and a passive(+1 melee dmg, +1 ranged dmg, +5% grenade crit, etc.) with a more impactful passive at rank 8. You can see that my recruit still made friends on the bench through passive gains and events, and if I so needed I could pull her off the bench and she'd still be perfectly fine if a little weaker than my main cast. Meanwhile tel has greater overall bonds with the people I actually bring on missions but virtually no bonds with the benchies. TL:DR here is yeah you don't need to bring the named guys unless you like their passives, they can ride the bench up until their story missions and still be perfectly viable operators since gear can be swapped around and the majority of your skill points are awarded to the whole roster every mission
uhh how do eliminate all hostiles when they bug out and wont get out of the building
>>746472378Why doesn't it have gore? People just tanking laser shots like it is nothing is kind of lame.
>>746472378They could remove the shitty starwars ip and spend money on some good devs and it would have been a better game. Everyone says it runs like shit. I didn't buy a 5090 to not play games at 4k highest settings over 200 fps.
>>746485068Because Star Wars has never had gore.
>>746485068Cause in universe the lasers cauterise on impact, there's no Star Wars scene with lasers that has blood, and only scenes that do have blood are very rare and not involving lasers or lightsabres
>>746485236I can understand the absence of blood sonce laser would cauterize wounds but you can't cause burn wounds with laser weapons or dismember people with a light saber? That's so lame.
I have no idea about shit, please bear with me if its an stupid questionWhen does this game happen? i mean its obviously during the prequels and the clone wars cartoon (which i haven't seen)But is it during a very specific point from the prequels? or is it just nebulous?
>>746485298see >>746485374
>>746485417During the events of the third prequel movie
>>746485417Right before Order 66
>>746485417Tail end of the clone wars, shortly before Order 66 gets issued.
>>746485549okay that helpsTy anon
The balancing on the skill trees is all fucked up. You can spend 31 focus points to add 6 crit damage to the scoundrel's assist ability. What a waste.
I like XCOM so I like this but wow...the dialogue is terrible (as expected) It just had me ask someone where the super secret underground smuggling tunnel is when arriving at the location. Just to let the audience know that is what's going on I guess. The lore in the operations is at least done by someone who knows what they are doing. You can turn the dialogue off tho so its fine. Its just not worth talking to NPCs at all.
>>746485298blasters are not lasersthey are excited bolts of plasma that detonate inside of living tissue, leaving horrific gaping burned holes and cause huge amounts of bleeding and trauma this isn't depicted because the license owner doesn't want extreme gore to be part of star wars IPif you want to see what 'blaster' weapons do, check out the Legally Distinct Not Starwars movies
Apparently some story characters can leave? Should I recruit and train up some Glupp Shitto instead so I don't end up low on dudes?
>>746485653that was weirdnot even an attempt by hawks to bribe him or anythingjust asking a random worker for the secret smuggling tunnelsI think it was just so they could make the joke of the worker giving you the PR response
>>746485653>the dialogue is terrible (as expected)Lore accurate. Star wars has had horrendous dialogue ever since the prequel movies.
>>746481359Very slightlyThere's a freckle on face 2 of the green aliens that isn't otherwise there
>>746485698I think they leave if you dont take care of their side missions in timeAnd if you wait a bit too long on those you might end up with only 2 cycles and having to tackle a main story mission and 2 companions missions forcing you to miss oneSo try to get rid of those companion missions as soon as you get a window of opportunity, dont delay them to do shitty random missions
>>746472960If you've never played XCOM, then legitimately you should play XCOM Enemy Within first as a baseline.
Since this game is pretty successful, I do hope they get to keep making XCOM clones, preferable something not attached to an already established IP, I just want a generic military guys versus aliens XCOM clone.
>>746486008I want them to make a van helsing game or something set in the world of darkness franchise. That would be so cool.
>>746474676Just saw the update for the first part of fixing jedi stuff, thanks boss
>>746474676Can we get the full wardrobe like some of the other mods out thereOr at least make the mods compatible
>>746486068>your waifu gets captured>comes back as a thrall enemy
>>746486068wod can't be cool because it's a cringe setting fo trannies
How many generics have you guys made/recruited?
>>746485681>If you want to see what Star Wars weapons do watch this thing that is not Star WarsNah.
>>746473215Troubleshooter lowkey kind of sucks since it's very melee focused.If I wanted to play melee XCOM then I'd just play Disgaea or Final Fantasy Tactics.
>>746485236
>>746486216a few before I fully understood how everything worked
>>7464862163 and I ended up never using them after I recuited enough story companion. Waste of credits
>>746486008I recently finished XCOM2 so its perfect timing. Gamers are bored of the same open world hustle type games so something where you can take your time and think is a nice change of pace for most people. We probably will get many more XCOMs now.
>>7464862163 generics and a robotI think there's a max roster size and since story characters contribute to that I'm a little worried about the final head count
>>746486234Blasters in rebel moon and star wars are the same thing. Rebel moon is a rated R series so it can depict people getting exploded by blaster bolts and the horrible injuries sustained from plasma bolts.
>>746486173Nah. Vtm was kino.
>>746486008Pheonix Point is the spiritual successor and you can play a timed demo of 10 hours.
>>746486216a few, but I don't use them because the main cast is already very strong
>>746486442Ok, tranny

>>746486637>Why only $50?It's not a very big game, and is very linear.To me it seems like a 'testing the waters' venture from these devs to see if people like what they are offering. It's definitely not perfect, but its a great start.
>>746474279There is nothing woke in this game. People are having fun with a new game and so then you have the usual /v/ retards trying to shift some narrative or whatever
>>746484750either use grenades, overwatch, or hide all your people around the corner and wait for them to leave the building.
>>746472378my biggest "complaint" about the game is all the hero story characters you have, there's zero and I mean zero reason to use the recruits, almost as if the game needs a separate non story mode or something
nice quadruple resonance niggerwould be a shame if something ohko'd youalso, why are enemies on expert so fucking spongey lmao this is like the 3rd story mission and you need 5 blaster shots to whittle a mook down.it still isn't that hard because their AI is retarded and they waste actions running around and overwatching random places
>>746477137>spoilerbut what if Hawks is female? does they still have an ex wife?
>>746486859You know the answer
>>746486859Nobody knows because nobody plays femhawks. Default Malehawks is obviously the intended protagomist because he looks and sounds cool
>>746486847
>>746486610I'm still trying to place the padawan's VA>>746486847I did the same thing on that mission
>>746486847>wilhelmscream.wav
>>746486945unfortunately... i do not>>746486960welp, guess im swapping over to a female togruta. I will let this board know on my findings if no one else does
>>746487029>I'm still trying to place the padawan's VASounds too much like Tali
>>746472378Any news on how many copies the game sold? Why are the devs so silent about the status of the game?
>Jedi Fallen Order>Has Dathomir witch>Remember there was a tie-in novel that made her a lesbian>Devs don't give a shit and in the sequel, make her the love interest of the MCDidn't the author go apeshit on Twitter if I remember?
>>746487075What does that have to do with Zero Company you obssessed culture war retard?
>>746472612It's a joke my nigga you actually lack a funny bone
>>746487053She's too British for thatApparently it's her first videogame credit but I swear I've heard that voice in something elseI almost thought it was Forspoken but apparently not
Okay for those curios about game length I just unlocked the final mission on Cycle 38 and it has a deadline of cycle 40
>>746487065>Why are the devs so silent about the status of the game?wdym? you aren't owed any communication from the developers
>>746485417as the others stated, pretty much the last bit of the clone wars a bit of a time skip to the first year or two of the empire
>>746487161How long is a cycle? A day?
>>746487198Yes I do. Feels like they took my money and ran away. What about the bug fixes and optimizations I am owed huh?
>>746487234Its their time unit for one mission, plotwise the game takes at least a year and a little bit
>>746487234YeahSometimes it means a year but that would be a little silly here
>>746487243If the game doesn't work for you and you can't get it to work, leave your negative review then refund it. You aren't special, and there is no guarantee of constant contact/communication just because you purchased a license.BTW I got it to work for me, I just have to delete nvidia and the game cache before I every time I start it and let it rebuild a full cache from scratch for some reason. Annoying but it works so far.
>>746487243If on PC, there's a mod that apparently works wonderspersonally I haven't had any trouble with performance aside from the very rare stutter
>>746473267Ponchos are basically gone in Survivor. You can find one, but that’s it.
>>746486519trickpadawan cutie is a close secondshame about the squad size being four because I only have room for one generic dude6 feels like it'd be kinda OP with that mod
>>746487842I don't think you have to take all six all the time
>>746487842It really needs a fatigue mechanic to encourage you to rotate your squad.
>>746484750>overwatch glitches and all the goons stay in the building>on their turn they phases through the walls/roof and completely bypass your overwatch conesReinforcements are so fucking gay.
What's the max level for bonds?
>>746488072Yeah something seems missing in the formula, I feel like the recruitables are only there if you fuck up beyond repair and lose all playable story characters, hense you wouldn't use them otherwise, reminds me of how Baldur's Gate 3 works actually, I know they have usable randos but I've not seen anyone use them in my life
>>746482603The trick to Coil fucks is leaving the surged ones for last
>the best custom merc personality is voiced by adam jensen and is a gruff ex-military conspiracy theoristExtremely kino, this really dudesex's my human revolution.
>>746488370>reminds me of how Baldur's Gate 3 works actually, I know they have usable randos but I've not seen anyone use them in my lifeThat's because everyone is playing it wrong. They should be making a drow harem for their white human male paladin. That's the correct way to play BG3.
>>746488072Idk why they didn't make side quests locked to Hawks, quest character and 2 randos. Keep the story characters locked to main quests
>>746488370I used randos in BG3 because I played lawful-stupid and killed almost all of the companionsIt was a fun game.
>>746488072+lock it to one hero unit, would force you to use at least 2 random dudebros and constantly rotate out which hero you're usingnot sure how that'd work with hawk though since you need to take him fairly frequently
>>746488504Because I don't want to use randos. Such arbitrary limitations are never good
>>746488504Because nobody likes using Random McWhos except contrarians on 4chins
I'm checking out more Star Wars stuff now that this game is fun.Andor>GreatAhsoka>DogshitRebels>Worse than dogshitThrawn prequel>Great
Best prequel era planets:>Kamino>Felucia>Umbara>Geonosis
>would you rather prevent a complete non-issue>or prevent absolute cancerhmm difficult choice
Its honestly not even 1/3 of even XCOM1Think this game is another example of "Made by creator of ..." means jack shit, games are team effort not some fag at managerial position.
>>746489240>>FeluciaYou get to see 2 seconds of it. Can hardly be called a prequel planet. Don't think we even see Umbara
>>746489176>Thrawn prequelIsn't that just Ahsoka? They haven't done anything with Thrawn other than cast him as a fat loser.
>>746489370Clone Wars
>>746489459I don't consider clone wars prequels. Clone wars are clone wars
>>746486847frenly reminder you can turn off the radial menu
>>746475239>vode
>>746489532Already?
>>746489415They brought Thrawn back in a trilogy.Then the author got told to make a prequel, because they're going to be using him in Rebels.The prequel trilogy is really, really good.For some reason, they wanted to bring a 90s gork audience to a 2020's tv show made for 7 year olds. Then he became the villain of the Ahsoka show too.
>>746473030I didn't buy it back in the day due to the famous imdb or metacritic comment where he goes on that the lines cheat constantly. As I played pretty much all decent trpg, even tactical wizards (ugly, but great mechanics), I might play xcom eventually. Is persona tactics good? Unfortunately it's ugly, too. Seems to be a rule that tactics games are ugly to look at.>>746473295Looks really bad for 2026.
>>746489532Kote!Kandosii sa ka'rta, Vode an.Coruscanta a'den mhi, Vode an.Bal kote, darasuum kote,Jorso'ran kando a tome.Sa kyr'am nau tracyn kad, Vode an.
>>746472843It's filoni sloppa so I refuse to play it
>>746472952That's right, even prequel haters love the lore prequels established. They're just too dumb to understand that this lore would not exist without prequels
Where the fug is Rhy Cesca?
>>746489917Under investigation, come back later.
>>746489314Both are non-issue though?
the game really shits the bed every now and then when it comes to playing animations in the right order etc.
>>746489526Thank you. Just did that now, much better.Strange how they can make something so shitty and consolified that the nucom paradigm is something to welcome back
>>746489953The coil sword units can become absolute pieces of shit on some missions on expert, especially because of the bug where they can just instant transmission through your wall of overwatch
>>746474734>It barely even feels like Star Wars because the writers failed massively on that front.How did they fail?
>>746490028>especially because of the bug where they can just instant transmission through your wall of overwatchOkay, maybe was lucky to never encounter that one. For me melee units usually die before they get a chance to attack.
>enemy decides to randomly overwatch the outer wall of the map>all my dudes are south of himuhhh ok
>>746490285simulated misclick
>>746490078They didn't. Anons' just doing his "Every game you like is actually bad" schtick
>>746490078Nta, but he probably thinks so because of the Coil. These guys just feel like generic evil cult that could appear in exactly the same form in pretty much any sci-fi or fantasy setting.
>>746490285He's paranoid, it's immersive
Beat the game took about 28 hours on hard, that was fun but it felt like the combat wasn't much of a challenge once I actually had a full squad of 4 and knew what I was doing. Probably will do another run on expert with the full customization mod to make hawks my jedi, and maybe consider imposing some handicaps. Heavy carried the early game for me and I didn't really touch scoundrel and gunslinger so I might make it a point to exclude heavy and include those and also play with only glup shittos outside of companion missions, well maybe I'll unbench kabb since he also didn't see much use. A shame that I can't recruit clones until the final third of the game, I'd really like to fill out my squad earlier
Desu, I kinda wish there was an option to submit to the audit during order 66, and just hunt down Fathom as an imperial
>>746490487Okay so NG+ stuff is just cosmetics>Hawks can now be all non-clone trooper races>All outfit unlocks are saved between runs>Clone troopers can now show up from the start of the game
>>746472378by "it's like xcom" do people mean it's literally like xcomslop so you have a team of personalityless goons and no story and do boring randomly generated maps or by xcom comparison they just mean "it's turn based" but it has actual story and characters and handmade encounters?
>>746473949>Can I play the game as the Imperials instead of being a criminal or Rebel for the billionth time?how fucking dare youYOU VIL EAT ZE GENERIC REBELSLOP AND YOU VIL LIKE IT
>>746491051it's basically another iteration of the same systems by some ex-Firaxis peopleyou probably won't like it
>>746472467First post, now that's what I call shitposting post. >>746473030I never bothered with the reboot. I'll try that shit first.
I like giving my mercs a mix of phase 1 armor and fatigues to make them look rugged. It makes sense they'd use the phased out armor.
>>746491443If the game was realistic Phase 1 armor would protect more but make your character slower cause it's cumbersome to use
>>746489532Kill yourself retard.

>>746472843I think jedi survivor was good. If on sale
>>746472378Did they nerf the combat stim? I thought itr was for all combat
>>746491892I think it's fine for a vidya gaym where the gameplay is the point. But otherwise, yeah.
>>746472378meanwhile ubisoft
>>746492184What was bad about the game?
>>746492103Oh wait nevermind, the second spec doesn't have the max talents...
>>746492169Videogames back when Star Wars wasn't a propaganda tool were far more unique thoYou had your KOTOR where you could choose your path, your Battlefront II Pandemic where you played as the Empire, your Empire at War with campaigns for three sides plus modding, your Bounty Hunter where you played as a criminal actually doing criminal actions rather than being a goody two shoes, your Galactic Battlegrounds with like 8 different factions plus modding, your X-Wing and TIE Fighter games for whichever faction you prefer, etcThere was still a prevalence of Rebel-leaning games like all the Kyle Katarn ones but there was more variety, literally every modern Star Wars game is the exact fucking same because Yidsney is scared that their woke fans will screech their lungs out if they allow the player to actually do Imperial shitTLDR modern wokefags are AIDS (most of them actually have it kek)
>>746474578>Wolf dudesI prefer their women
Any classes worth doubling up on? I'm just trying to fill out the roster to see all the personalities at this point and I've already got every class represented before I've even unlocked the jedi
should I stop this?
>>746490912What? You telling me I'll have to buy all the upgrades again? How the fuck do you get enough money to eb able to afford every upgrade?
>>746492782that is a disasterb1's are only weak because you can use a gunslinger/grenades to kill them in 1 shot
>>746492260>what was about a generic unoptimized ubislopDunno

>>746492782>B1s that take more than one shot to kill
>>746492907Can you not be retarded for once in your life?>What was about a generic unoptimized xcomslopThink about why you don't like it
should i play normal or hard? does it just add bullshit? is normal too easy?
>>746493020expert
>>746493000Because it's generic unoptimized ubislop. Any more retarded questions?
>>746493182No more questions for the retard, thanks. Put him back in his cage (his parents bedroom) until we need him again (some culture war bullshit for him to be obsessed over for the next year)
>>746493000nta but it has a troon-looking annoying quippy bitch of a protag, generic cute alien pet that does nothing but be stupid, the Empire and criminals feel like retards, the gameplay sucks and it's buggy as fuck, you can literally knock out Stormtroopers by slapping them in the face, it looks horrible, it lacks replayability and it has a retarded loyalty system that can let you end the game with Jabba the fucking Hutt sending a squad of ships to save the Mary Sue protag from the Empire because "she's just so important to me"
>>746493259Did you bother playing it? I worry you're not being genuine, because you're referencing that scene that went viral on /v/ because of that YouTuber
>lizard man with meme robot arm is a scoundrel>unkillable psycho is a soldier>The Asian lady who finishes you off (after a massage) is assaultThe devs really did a shit job on the default classes for their characters...
>>746493020Whatever you play x-com on plus 1, its on the easier side for a tactics game imo
>>746493324I tried it at a friend's house and it was dogshitRegardless the scene went viral because it's shit, it being shown by some youtuber doesn't mean it isn't one of the worst scenes in series history
>>746493246Cry about it, shill
i'm about to attack fathoms base (cycle is luunata....something, its just after the fathom apprentice)how far along am I?
>>746493381True, and fair enough.
>>746493000that other anon is being hyperbolic, but it isn't far off. At launch, it was fucking awful. Buggy at best and the stealth missions would auto-fail. it is the bog standard of a Ubisoft open world game. Nothing amazing, but it isn't offensively bad either. I think it failed due to retards crying woke and it being pretty buggy at launch. It's been touched up a lot, most of the problems have been ironed out. Not the story or core gameplay of course.
>>746472467lol
>>746493885Somewhere between halfway to 2/3rds if I have the correct mission in mind
>>746491725I'm pretty sure Runa doesn't hate Hawks.
im scaredalso make a new thread dumb seppers
>>746494210>>746491845
>>746488072with the bond system rotating is good as you will get more cross training bonuses
