gaming

been watching an xcom 2 super hardcore player play phoenix point

or by super hardcore just plays hardest difficulty iron man

from what ive seen, AI is a little bit more bullshitty

I like the dumb VATS thing they do when you aim

its interesting

the ability to target weapons too

is kinda cool

because the grenade launchers are fucking stupid

you've got to appreciate that the main villain in the game

are crabs

theyre just weird

also it has bloated real numbers

which i find weird

i miss xcom small numbers

I dislike how small xcom didn't balance a lot of the numbers well

until war of the chosen

this feels/looks like

xcom 1.5

with how much I hated vanilla xcom2's turn timer

I'll take it

I'm convinced every pop-up menu is inverted

with Yes/No on the wrong sides

xcom EU/EW xcom 2 Phoenix Point

I think the core of PheonixPoint is really good, but the game is fairly underbaked

I wish they brought more stuff from the original XCOMs or from Xenonauts

Even as is, it's comparable to vanilla XC2

ehhh

You thinking of playing it at all Max? Or waiting for a year of patches/DLC to make it a better game?

maybe in a month

I miss the XC2 character customization though

The custom crew was always such a fan part of runs

the same studio made a strategy game and didn't call it XCOM 3?

No

original creator

I think the best way I've heard it been said

there's no personality

Yep, doesn't help that the game looks like it's from 2011

Muddy textures, no atmosphere

music is... ehhh.... looks like a AA game (which is fine, its 40 bucks) every map looks the same story is somehow worse than xcom stories

lack of any banter at all

It's an EPIC game

They have a weird style for AA games

xcom has

music right

im not insane

not a ton, it's got an OST

but most missions have a lot of ambient noises, rather than dedicated music
