    A good bit of info you guys are throwing around is outdated. You might want to read the official forums. Some stuff is changed, some is in the process of changing. We won't know the full extent til launch, but you can at least find out where it stands now. Here's a starter: [Updated v2.0]...

    I was too distracted by the new case of "You can do it, Barry." I really love this show, but damn, getting tired of this over and over. It's gotten to the point where I expect the season finale to be the whole crew sitting in a circle chanting it and that's how he beats Zoom.

    But, dude, we get the chilling suspense of whether it will be a normal, shambling, growling zombie, or a stealthy ninja zombie. I can't wait!

    Carol has more important things to worry about, like beating herself up for not killing Morgan. I seriously doubt anyone is going to be talking about the death of the mom and 2 kids, much less relaying it for everyone in graphic detail.

    What you're describing isn't really a range, more like an upper limit. It's not like that. The price "range" is too small to do what you propose. They've thought of all this, trust me. It's all designed so that you buy your currency from them (in KR anyway) and not the goldsellers, that's all...

    Because "Carol" watches the show and knows that the kid freaked out because of what she said? Is that why she's going to brood, lament and monologue?

    Yeah, that would make it a bit harder. Still, a haywire and some suicide rookies could handle it, the beacon is easy to down.

    Avenger defense is easy. Send a ranger down to get sight of the tower, or mind control/haywire an enemy, let your snipers do the rest, lift off. Unless you want/need to farm some kills.

    Agreed. Whatever the math is, it's dumb. I don't really care about losing the VIP, but if I had lost Bradford or one of my majors, Ida been pissed. It was a bit funny, too. The evac zone was on the roof of a three story, one corner of it at the first square off a short ladder, all my guys are...

    Which makes zero sense, but thanks for the info.

    Just had my first failed mission. 2 turns to get the VIP from the truck to the evac zone. Moved max distance both turns, missed it by 1 fucking square. The evac is on top of high buildings way too much.

    Why are you suddenly holding the show to some high standard like it hasn't been like thiseveryseason? We got some action, some fun scenes, and a lot less useless emo conversations. Win-win. I'm just glad a handful of people waded into a horde of zombies with melee weapons and held their own...

    Everything in the economy is controlled. Everything you do can be boiled down into a flat rate of average silver per hour. Crafting/trading/drops, it's all the same. It will be even worse for NA with the processing requiring energy bullshit. I've played the game a month and a half in KR, I've...

    XCOM 2

    The first mission isn't that bad, you just have to keep doing it til the rng favors you. I head toward the building facing the bomb placement. The three pack of troopers is usually right in front of it. I move in close, grenade them, then finish them off with flank shots. Then I put a guy on...

    XCOM 2

    It's not poorly tuned, it's just all RNG. In the first mission, no matter how perfectly you play, if the RNG fucks you and you miss too many shots, game over. You're not at war with the aliens, you're actually at war with the random number generator. If you survive long enough for your soldiers...

    Mimics are way cheesier than throwing rookies away. I wasn't complaining about aim being too high. I said once your aim gets high enough it negates a lot of the RNG, which makes the game easier. Aim isn't the issue. It took me like 6 tries to get past Gatecrasher. On my successful attempt...

    I love it when people feel the need to educate us about shit we already know. I've already completed the game on Vet and Commander and I'm a third or so into my Legend/Ironman campaign. Removing timers wouldn't cheese the game. All time limits do is force you to charge toward the...

    You can't really play the economy since the prices are fixed.

    Yeah, I don't like how the timers severely limit your tactics in a tactical game.

    XCOM 2

    The problem isn't so much the RNG. It's the fact that most of the difficulty is tied to it, in the Aim stat. Once you get your Aim high enough, most of the difficulty is gone. Grenades/rockets already negate the Aim RNG. (Although, I am glad my rockets no longer have a 10% chance to fly in a...

    In both my completed play-throughs I've come across 2 of the +20 hack rewards, so it's at least 120.

    I'm not positive, but I think Lightning hands uses/negates Quick draw. Which sucks, it should be its own thing. Edit: I think there's a mod that let's you play with after disabling/removing a mod, if you don't want to deal with the ini stuff.

    I started my L/I run last night. Came up with a new drinking game during the first mission (which took me like 6-7 tries to complete). Every time a soldier misses a point blank flanked shot, you take a drink. Fun times.

    Got tired of Bradford always bugging me while I'm trying to run a mission, so I decided to throw him into the mix and let him deal with the aliens directly.

    Storm guns are worth mid/late game. Early on, reg rifles are better (THAN SHOTGUNS), IMO. Your accuracy is just too low early game. Edit: Enhanced for the reading impaired.

    I have, on Veteran. You get like 4 turrets set up on the edges of the ramp. Not really needed. On Commander I didn't have them, squadsight from a haywired mec, 2 sniper shots to take out the beacon.

    All that shit will still happen when I start enabling Ironman. 3 playthroughs without Ironman is a very small percentage of my game time. I put well over 1000 hours into EU/EW. Edit: Lol, that vid was great, Gavin. Thx.

    I prefer to do one run through of Vet and Comm while savescumming. My first run on Legend I'll do mission start savescum only. I learn as much or more, and I don't have to redo the early missions 50 times. I will still get all the Comm/Legend Ironman fun times.

    I'm wondering if Psi-ops are bugged. I'm almost positive you're only supposed to get half the skills, not all of them.
