waypoint torpedo thrower from tftd. Killing alien bases never been easier.

Hmm I wanna do a DoW2 like multiplayer mod for xcom 2. But I think thats a bit to ambitious for me haha.

I just watched TotalBiscuit's video, so awesome :3
I need this in my life, can't wait for Feb. 5th. At least I'll have exams right before it to take my mind off and reward myself with a copy when all is said and done.

Oh, man, those customization options. Even in Enemy Within I spent way too much time editing my soldiers, this will surely be the end of me.

Color coding for snipers (blue), assaults (green), supports (white) and heavy (red) :3 now with more hats, glasses, scars and body armor :D

Hes only allowed the stream a preview build. Its nothing that we haven't been seeing on youtube already.

Also, about the customization, the mere fact that you can create and customize characters BEFORE you even start a new game is amazing. I'm gonna be spending hours just creating characters before I even start my first game.

Because dressing up action figures was fun before X-com.

i think the new xcom 2 move system is dumb, and i dont like the cover system, but xcom 2 looks sooo good. the art design looks so inspired, i LOVE the maps with torrenting rain on them! the cities look cool too, loving the advent half alien half human aesthetic.. full height sectoids too! this game is a love letter straight to me. also, the loot mechanics for weapon addons?! awesomee.
i'm so excited for this game

I don't see the problem with the move and cover system.

I never had a problem with it. I felt it was much better than the system from the first X-com and provide much clearer information on what your troops could do.

I realized something sad a few days ago, before this point in my life i always had game releases i was excited for. The biggest ones were obviously starcraft 2 and diablo 3. the elder scrolls, gta, fallout and witcher games gave me hope as well. But now, this is seriously the only game i am looking for in the close future, so this better be good

Gameplay looks fine from what i have seen on youtube. Xcom modding community did a great job with the long war, i hope they work on xcom 2 as well.

I'm so glad they decided to stick to the PC. They can do so many great things they wouldn't be able to do otherwise. No compromises this time.

From my understand, it did not do as well on the consoles. I think it is great they are focusing on a single platform. If it does amazing thing for them, of course they could bring it to the consoles later on if it makes sense. I wish more publishers would focus on single platform launches, rather than everything at once. I think testing on all 3 major platforms really hurts the Q&A process for games in a way that just throwing money at it can’t fix.

ugh ... the already announced dlc has gameplay content ... that sucks, I thought it would just be soldier customization. Wonder if I will go out of bounds for this game. Its not day1 anyway ... (unless they delay even longer heh)
