    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Xcom had mod support, this doesn't, technically. Some guy found a Mod Studio app the devs left in the game files and put it on Nexus, but there's not a whole lot you can do with it gameplay-wise, basically just generating a json that lets you switch skills around between classes. The guy who...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Low budget doesn't mean bad. What's there is clean and well done, I'd just like to see what they could do with a AAA budget. I've barely started, but I like the options and diversity in the tactical missions. Unlike Zcom's simplistic arena battles, where the only interesting option is "how many...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    The problem is it's the packaging that makes the game "decent". Take away the Star Wars IP, the voice acting, the snazzy UE graphics and animations, and what's left? An indie game that no one would have noticed. The actual game, both the base building, and the tactical missions, just fall short...

    You don't have to do any of his missions, just maybe the Rex/Baker mission. He just has to not be dead.

    https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarszerocompany/mods/34 Edit: You're probably gonna want this one, too. Can increase enemy health, damage, and numbers. https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarszerocompany/mods/77 There's mods to change credits, amount of capacitors/contacts and bond xp too.

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Most of your complaints have been fixed by mods, but should have been in the base game. Tactical maps need to be bigger, bigger squad, more enemies. Even then, combat as you said is pretty basic. The Black Market is crap, and even if you buy the "better items" upgrades, it doesn't actually kick...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Not in dungeons. They like to give the bosses multi-wave attacks that you have to run to the gaps, or jump over, and if you miss the timing like twice, you're dead. Probably worse in some.

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Spitballing some ideas for my mod if I ever make it. It's doubtful, but anything is possible. I'm gonna call it "This is a fucking strategy game, not a rogue-like." Increase credit rewards/lower most costs. Make a true Black Market. Only 3(?) items at a time, only superior and up. Higher...

    First of all, let's not kid ourselves, this game IS standard Asian MMO trash, lol. I'm sure we'll have plenty discussions on that topic as we play. :emoji_wink: I recently got laid off when the restaurant I was working at went under, so I'll have plenty of time in October as well, as I...

    Some of us like playing an alt or two and prefer not having a retarded artificial restriction on sharing gains between characters. :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: Playing alts specifically to feed your main is something only min-maxers/powergamers do and doesn't affect the average player...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Agreed. And you already have to pay for extra beds (if you want them) and you literally have a medical droid on the payroll. What the fuck are you paying for? $600 band-aids? I get paying a bit to repair your astromech, since you'd probably need parts. And even the bacta, like $800 early game is...

    When I saw what the reward was supposed to be for a certain mission I was expecting some shenanigans, but not this particular shenanigan, lol.

    I mean, she speaks the lines correctly, unlike some, but her performance is just flat. Not terrible, but phoned in. It's night and day compared to male Hawks.

    I just realized, Cly is a joke. Pistol, shock darts, dead husband (who was black, and I bet under that helmet she is too)...she's Black Widow.

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Yeah, I think the story was great. And Hawks' VA did a great job, kinda like a mix of Mathew McConaughey and Rick Grimes (TWD). CLY's VA was okay, I think it's hard for most chics to voice that kind of character. The female Hawks was much worse. Brennic had a couple of standout scenes, but his...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    The way bonding works is dumb, how you get bond xp for "interacting" by using a skill on a teammate, but outside Call for Backup, some classes have no skills like that. And Medic can cheese the system. And you have to be religious about using the same team to get them all to level 8 with each...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Yeah, it's exclusive and yeah, it's definitely gay. It's possible the choice was supposed to be which one you get first, and the second reward didn't make the cut? It's really fucking stupid otherwise. And yes, the droid comes with 3 base. Utility slot is always better on your ops too IMO, more...

    I'm on my third playthrough and this will be my first time with Cly as one of my main team, instead of Trick. I always use Tel, she definitely pulls her weight, I don't get how some people thinks she's weak. I usually use Jae, final shot is great and pairs well with scout, but I'm thinking a...

    I always get Swtor vibes from the music when playing. So, I checked and and the guy who did the soundtrack for this also did some of the Swtor music, as well as outlaws. I know a lot of the music from the movies is specific to certain scenes or characters.

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Not a high bar, and while I think the tactical side could use some work and doesn't really stand up to X-com, I do like it enough, and I really enjoy the story. Minus a couple of mid-tier voice actors... The studio being broke might explain why Zero Company is always broke too, lol. Speaking of...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Well, that highlights a different issue. The scale compared to Xcom. This game just throws you into these "arena" battles (and you can't even pick your starting cover, ugh), whereas in Xcom you're assaulting a large facility or combat that spans multiple city blocks, etc. Roaming pods, fog of...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    Increase squad size to 5-6, let you run 2 missions per cycle, 1 mission per operator, done. Sometimes both missions can be linked, different objectives, same goal. Give you more info on mission objective and enemies so you can better set up each squad. Most of this can be easily modded, some...

    Zero Company - Star Wars XCom

    The difference in base weapon damage is very small, compared to enemy hp and how much you can increase it, so the main difference is range. The game has way too many melee enemies, and they can move way too fucking far, especially if the coil ones get that upgrade.

    I made her and a few others and added them to the character pool before I started, but the rest probably are just randomly generated. She's the only one of my premades I ended up using except for a heavy to try out the class. Starting my second run now and I'm just gonna use the story guys this...

    Nah. Just in early game. If you want to sacrifice a bit of range you can use a blaster rifle early on.
