 Just finished the first 5 mins (the docks thing) -- first thing I noticed is that the sound effects seem to have been toned down? I remember the guns sounding way louder and rawer in the first two. Looks like they've put a ton of work into adding stuff to the engine. I'm stoked to see where this goes. | ||

i liked the first two games a lot but while story and atmosphere of the games were great, i thought that the combat was way to basic and left a lot to be desired, not to mention that the difficulty of the first game was non existent. | ||

Well combat is similar to Dragonfall but enemies seem to better use their AP on Hard. Also you can now go into turn based yourself instead of waiting for enemy to do so and you can manage inventory of everyone in your party during the game (means freely switch items from one person to another). There are new things to level up your people in and lots new spells and weapons and cyber. Also there is a bleeding effect now and grenade launchers. | ||

But again you can help yourself. By not going for battle talents to ramp up the difficulty. Started the game on Normal as I do with all and didn't do alot of combat, so can't say much about it. But don't expect it to be different from the first games, just improved. As long as Grenades aren't thrown over a house bumping on the ground and through a window with 100% precision I am happy with it. I so wish they make an option in X-Com 2 for grenades to behave differently. | ||

So far hong kong feels the same way. Foster bro is supposed to be a rifle specialist and Eiger a special forces veteran, but Esports still ends up doing 90% of the party's damage. Hell, they made elf gunner even better because you can take cobra totem. edit: new matrix is cool Man, Eiger always wrecks shit for me in Dragonfall, lol. Finally got to play Hong Kong for a substantial amount of time today, and while I really like it, I'd put it just a hair below Dragonfall--which makes sense because DF is like top 3 all time for me. That being said, I do remember feeling some hesitance when I first started playing Dragonfall, so I think it's the same situation. I'll probably end up loving Hong Kong just as much when I get further into it. I will say that I prefer Paul Amsel to "Auntie."  | ||

I've only played the first game other than the Hong Kong standalone if you typically mash through dialogue for gameplay and brute forcing with combat, I'd say don't bother, it'll seem boring to you on the surface. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + multiple choice conversations have been done to death in gaming, but having to pick the right answer for two at the same time is genius hong kong feels way less combat heavy than dragonfall. so far I've done 4 missions. 2 of them had no fighting at all, third only had one fight at the end. fourth had 3 fairly small pulls, which is still far better than the agony of the dragonfall corporate runs. Which could be good, because I'll be able to replay as a non min-maxed character without getting angry at Eiger's miss chance. Could also get boring tho. | ||

And not only Eiger was crazy strong in Dragonfall, Glory was cool too. Which is why I decided to go Glory like this time around and I really hope I didn't put myself into trouble seeing how the story progresses so far. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + dragons and crazy AIs are more interesting than feng shui and evil tooth fairies good games. I'll probably start a replay at some point. ~25 hours, did all the missions and side quests that I could find. + Show Spoiler + though it looks like there's an option to talk the tooth fairy into leaving willingly? so I must have missed something. I also went the whole game without figuring out how the hacking minigame works so I should prolly look that up. | ||
