XCOM 2

Heh, this was just reposted on reddit, figured I'd link it in here in case anybody didn't see when I linked it when it was new.

Yeah the 27% sale started maybe 30 mins after I bought it with the 25% sale on Monday. GMG owes me a buck fitty!!!

Typical isnt it? Oh well, considering the first game Im decently convinced this is worth every penny.

Yeah they made big promises, and I can already tell from the stuff I've seen from the media copies that they've delivered pretty well, and there's still like 75% of the game to see. I'm psyched. 6 days!!!

PAX Stream Notes:
Three free Day 1 Mods from LWS as well as improved modding support.

1. Sub-Machine Guns (Fits in Assault Rifle Slot, +Mobility, -Enemy Detection Radius)
2. Muton Centurion (Alien Leader/Buffer)
3. Leadership Development Tree (Alternate leveling scheme)

////Edit////

Two Install Packages:
Game - Streamlined Package
Source Files - Everything in raw form for modding

SDK + Dev Console Extremely Comprehensive

This is being shown now onTwitch

Long War team was contacted by 2K mid 2015 and have given feedback on the mod tools and where the game could be made more moddable as they have used the new builds they have gotten from Firaxis.

The modding tools looked amazing. There's easy access to everything you could want to fiddle with.

They have mod templates (Map packs, voice packs and so on) that you can select to get started with that kind of mod.

Debug mode (dev console) has alotof options, line of sight, fog of war, destroy tiles and much more.

Replay mode for tracking down bugs, every save file makes a replay.

SDK Assets
* 1900+ XCOM2 gameplay script files
* 2400+ Maps (cinematic, environments, menu, geoscape and more)
* 7000+ Environment props
* 4000+ Materials
* 10000+ Textures
* 2000+ Sounds
* 3000+ Particle systems
* 600+ Character assets
* 600+ Animation sets

Lots of other stuff. It looks fantastic from a modding perspective.

Edit: And someone will make a gun that shoots pigeons on day 1.

New ranger weapon



If I were super motivated I'd shoop Bradford and Shen into the pic

Hmm not working , did it expire already?

Apparently. The 25% code I used is expired now too.

If you don't mind supporting scummy-as-fuck G2A, you can get it for like $36 buying through PayPal:G2A.COM Weeklysale

I reserve G2A for dev studios I don't want to overly support. 2K/Firaxis have shown they earned their box price this go around, IMHO. Even TB went and broke his own rule and preordered.

I see your ballet repost and raise you a new fan trailer.

That was a good video that got me even more hyped for this game.

That was great, holy shit.

Yeah, that was cool. Want to play now!

Seems this dude was given the ok to stream the game nowTwitchdamn it looks vastly improved mission wise and gameplay wise. Very excited for this. Man after watching for 30 minutes now , he isnt really trying to rush the game , so you wont be seeing to much being spoiled. But damn sooo much good stuff in this , seems like they did an awesome job on this and now i feel dirty for buying this from G2A for 34 bucks =(.

looking at the stream it looks more complex than any previous X-Com game which is awesome

edit: most missions seem to be on some sort of timer which makes overwatch traps less useful/more risky
