re: XCOM 2 (PC/PS4/XB1)

What level you guys playing at. I got cocky and right out of the gate went for commander, got my *** handed to me. I have dropped it to veteran

Vet, and probably not budging from it until I beat the game. Especially after getting wiped on the first untimed mission I came across.

lol! That just happened to me on my second mission out!

Something that happened to me in regards to that:

Spoiler

Mind-Controlled Teammate pulled a pin on a grenade next to two of my soldiers. REKT them all suicide bomb style. I was in awe.

Man I'm terrible. I'm getting wiped out in normal mode lol. I love it though, I need to keep learning from my failures so I can get smarter and better

I think I am going to restart for a 3rd time. I lost way too many people and none of my people are strong enough for mission 3 or 4 where you:

Spoiler

Go into the 1st Blacksite. I make it inside the building, destroy the Avent Robocop looking robot, then when the next wave comes in, I get wiped out. That mind control and re-animate the dead be kicking my butt.

So yeah I must have done something wrong or something. My weapons aren't strong enough, neither is my armor. Taking 5 rookies into that place is not getting the job done.

Best thing I like about the game, every time you restart the game, none of the locations are the same, some of the missions be different too.

Ambushing the enemy with your entire crew in Overwatch is such a good feeling. Nothing like wiping out the first 2 or 3 enemies before they even get a turn.

This game is an early Game of The Year candidate for me. It is that damn good. You can evac when ever, where ever you want. Pick up and carry down comrades is amazing. Love the fact that reloading your ammo doesn't cost you a turn like it did in the previous games. The enemy can call in reinforcements. Just plain awesome.

The gaming industry need more strategy games like this. The AI is good and relentless. At times it feels like you playing against another human player. They know how to use cover, fall back, flank. Just awesome.

PC guys are lucky, wish they made this for consoles. Loved the first one they made.

Reloading still costs 1 action. That's how it was in the last XCOM.

It does, but unlike the last game reloading won't end your turn if used as the first action. You can still shoot or move afterward, and that's a big change.

Yeah, I've wiped on the blacksite mission twice now. Not going back in until I upgrade my equipment. I let the game ending sequence play out just to see what I was up against, turns out I've got a lot more time to do missions like that than I thought.

re: XCOM 2 (PC/PS4/XB1)

Anyone else notice how there's WAY less full cover in these maps than the previous game? Tons of low cover, but not a lot of full - and using low cover in a firefight is a very big risk.

You know what to do, Jerz.

You mean your guys actually hit the enemy when they're in Overwatch. I know that I'm only on the first mission(after the tutorial) but my guys shoot like OG Stormtroopers. Someone said earlier that you have to use your grenades in this game and that is true, because shots seem like they are going to miss a lot 50% seems like it's really 20%.

This game is making me PO'd. It's great.

The thing about ambush overwatch is that it doesn't suffer the aim penalty a normal one does (to account for an unpredictably moving target). It's your whole team's full hit % on what is usually an unaware target/s. It's devastating when done right.
