*kills XCOM*

Seems you're the brainlet. I'm playing on Experienced.

>Taunted the Kantus so he focuses my Vanguard
>The two Grenadiers, the only other two enemies currently alive after my grenade spamming Scout killed the rest, were cockblocked by the Support right next to my Vanguard and were stopped by their staggering effect on their Lancer.

Don't think the unit has to be out of cover for badass to work.

novel XCom is shit anyways, but this one is not great too
+ decent tactical gameplay
+ good play can dominate the battlefield, while still having relatively weak troops
+ bearded females
+ decent bossfights
- no world strategy in any form
- most missions are shallow repetitions
- almost all gear mods are minor stat boosts obtained from lootboxes
- no different weapons, all troops stuck with single variant of class weapon
- all troops are the same, just a chance to put skills points slightly differently
- some skill combinations make the game trival (sniper shooting 8 times in one turn, etc)
- arcady extra battle rules (no reloads, no granades etc), without any explanations

>- no world strategy in any form
But that's a plus

Not even in his best day.

>- no world strategy in any form
This is a pro. The "world strategy" in both modern XCOM games is hilariously shallow and every run works out the same 95% of the time.

>- almost all gear mods are minor stat boosts obtained from lootboxes
Epic and Legendary chests which the game throws at you around Chapter 2 and beyond give significant stat boosts.

that was simple enough why not just say from the start you're a babby playing non-ironman savescumming out the ass
uppity babbys lmao

>savescumming
>Gears Tactics
Have you played the game, brainlet?

Depends how you look at it. I got bored by repeating the same missions in act 2, some world view why i am rescuing some loosers locked in pods for third time would make it feel a bit less obnoxious. Here it is just random boring mission after another random borng mission, and occasionally some good story mission.

what the fuck are you going to call reloading a checkpoint, NOT savescumming?
kek
calm the fuck down already babbymode

Cuckmera Squad is garbage for Mass Effect trannies. What's the third game?

>This is a pro. The "world strategy" in both modern XCOM games is hilariously shallow and every run works out the same 95% of the time.

opinion discarded, specially regarding XCOM 2, where you must constantly make decisions about what research to pursue, what missions to tackle, what resistance drops to investigate, etc

try playing the game on ironman, babby

Kinda wishing they would remake gears 1-5 in this format, lol, its fun

>lmao bet you playing on easy nigga
>why you sending out the impervious tank out in the open like that when epic/leg equipment can give 60%+ damage resistance?

You mean like rush mag weapons and focus engineers over literally everything else?

you see for people without trannies living in their head rent free 24/7, its a pretty nice spinoff which introduces new mechanics, has a very low price and has mod support

Kantus doesn't have that little HP on experienced, that webm is on normal.

inspired research exists precisely to change your research choices, it might be worth it to hold off developing mags if something else that is also useful can be accomplished faster at the moment

All I see is some re-used assets shitpile that desperately got rushed into the market before the superior tactics game came out

>- no world strategy in any form
>This is a pro. The "world strategy" in both modern XCOM games is hilariously shallow and every run works out the same 95% of the time.

I mean, you're right, the are very shallow in XCom games, but at least gives you some justification or idea that something in the world is happening due to your play. What annoys me here, it is just that they are list of random missions. No some kind of world map view with 'here are our troops, here is the enemy', just 'pick x from mission list, until main mission will appear'.

>- almost all gear mods are minor stat boosts obtained from lootboxes
>Epic and Legendary chests which the game throws at you around Chapter 2 and beyond give significant stat boosts.
I haven't finish the game yet, but so far I didn't find anything more interesting than '% chance that something will happen/status boost for doing X action'. The most interesting that I got was '2 turns less for grenades cool-downs', which is really nothing great

playing experienced ironman first playthrough and honestly this shit is kinda trivial right now.
>Scout has 1 turn cooldown grenades and that's not even their most broken build
>Sniper shoots 8 times a turn
>Support gives +5 actions basically for free
>Vanguard never dies

Heavy isnt very useful in my experience, especially compared to everything else

>The most interesting that I got was '2 turns less for grenades cool-downs', which is really nothing great
On Commando Scouts that is literally one of the most broken buffs in the game. The Legendary variant fives -4, meaning they can get behind enemy lines and do shit like this perpetually.

>All I see is some re-used assets shitpile that desperately got rushed into the market before the superior tactics game came out

sure user, they developed the entire game in 7 days just before gears released, makes sense

i really dont understand why you are upset, even if the game was less enjoyable than gears, its one fifth of the price on release, and for that price, the game punches above its weight, its a full standalone game that introduces tons of new mechanics that radically changes how it plays and has mod support

i honestly do not get it, its like complaining gtx 1060 has a worse performance than a gtx 1080 ti, it does, but it also costs significantly less

what the difference between ironman and insane?
my hero dies and im fucked either way

>same game but with even less management between missions

I'm not buying a piece of shit waste of time because it's "cheap" you delusional trannycom shill

Insane is the hardest mode.

Ironman is the modifier that deletes your save if a story character dies.

you can restart missions on non-ironman, it's a mode for babbys basically

meant with actual cutscenes and graphics

nice retro game you got there when did it come out, 2006?

It's a mode for people aren't masochists.

>Gabe dies on a mission
>Oop there goes your entire save

Why are you acting like a fucking sperg?

>I'm not buying a piece of shit waste of time because it's "cheap" you delusional trannycom shill

like i said, the game is good for those of us who are not tranny obsessed schizos

but dop the enemies deal as much damage in ironman as they do on insane?
or is it the equivalent of normal but you cant die

Sooo... why would you ever use heroes over regular troops?
>hero dies = game over
>troop dies = game continues

tactics games are the most FUN when shit is actually on the line
a literal monkey can bruteforce this game on insane just by wiping his ass on the keyboard enough times

you are forced to use heros on most missions

Because the game forces you to during story missions.

No, Ironman is not a difficulty modifier, it's a failure modifier.

This boss is completely gay, he shits out all those instagib landmines that you can't step on but then starts spamming Boomers onto the map that will recklessly propel and ragdoll your little shitheads into said landmines, downing them instantly.

I get it dude
since the xcom re-make (that was completely underwhelming in graphics/story/cutscene dept AND underwhelming in how "hardcore" it was) was shilled on ribbit you epic zoomer tactics fans appeared out of fucking nowhere all over the place
thing is, xcom looks like fucking dogshit from 2004 and you're not even trying to deny it btw
so when xcom2: 5hour cash-in edition is released, you're pretty much forced to shill that shit too

I'm not getting it, it looks fucking terrible, the gameplay sucks horsedick, and alien squadmates congratulate each other on fighting like stronk womyn

have you considered perhaps both new and old xcom strategy games are good? to be honest you should be thanking XCOM: Enemy Unknown for reviving the genre and the franchise, its almost certain Gears Tactics wouldnt exist without it

No, it's 3AP and you can use any skill in any order. You also have a million ways to gain more AP. The game shits enemies at you so you have to kill as many as you can before you get swarmed.

it is very limited is what i meant, no custom callsigns? can't change faces or gender? every woman i have recruited is doomed to have a fucking receding hairline? it doesn't help either that i have doubles of the same character model.

no, that would be nucom2: trannymera squad cash-in with re-used assets from 2005 edition

Stop playing like such a pussy, offensive offensive offensive

of the ones i played, it just wouldnt fit the existing universe

I really like how bullets actually travel in this game and can be intercepted by other targets. I missed an enemy once and my teammate near got it by the stray shot. Accurracy also take into account whatever is in between you and your target

I just can't do it user, unless I can have waves of expendable rookies I'm not having fun

ill remember that for missions that dont cut my team in half

just bring a heavy, passive healing at the end of every round with Anchor, impossible to die with as long as you're in cover.

Oh yeah, it's console shared.

>can't even beat a shitty 10 dollar Xcom spinoff fireaxis squirted out in a month
Funny as fuck.

"world strategy" in nucom is a complete waste of time

yep, an RTS that was watered down for consoles.

They need to make that series PC exclusive, not with PC as an afterthought.

pc is a dead platform

XCOM 2 is so versatile that with the right mods, it can be a better Gears game than Gears Tactics.

yes it is easier to shitpost a meme than go on about how you have to work together with fucking aliens in xcom

Because somehow a 10 dollar joke of a game that had basically no effort put into it still was able to steal the thunder from a 60 dollar AAA game that had the full backing of microsoft.

Overall it's a really solid game but it's lack of fully customizable soldiers (yeah you have squaddies but they're all objectively worse than the heroes ESPECIALLY COLETRAIN BABY WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO who are often mission critical anyway), it's lack of any strategic overlay and reduced randomization limit it's replay-ability. It's a game you play through maybe one time, as opposed to the literally hundreds of hours you can spend on X-Com 2, creating your own narratives.

I'm glad Firaxis has some competition though
