Scout + Sniper setups work really well on a lot of things in XCOM2. You get 2 (4 if you upgrade) turrets (I assume stats are the same as ADVENT ones, didn't bother checking) at the ramp. It a waste of supplies/power and space. | ||

On the Story: + Show Spoiler + I'm still not sure what everyone is complaining about. It's a turn-based combat sci-fi game with procedurally generated maps. There's limitations on what you can do with the story within the confines of the game style. And I think they did a good job. The story served what the game was attempting, it didn't get in the way and I like the main characters we interacted with. Though being able to shut Central off in the Retaliation Missions would have been nice, haha. I also like the setup for XCOM 3. It has a nice chunk of series call-backs and leaves the "Why" of the game as a hook for the sequel. Which is actually a pretty smart thing to do, narratively speaking. Most of the time in sci-fi series, Alien Invasions happen because "well, they're evil!". Here we get a big driver that's actually an open question. We know a little bit, but not the entire picture. I look forward to XCOM 3. I plan to run a Legendary Campaign in the near future, but I want to check out some of the creature-comfort Mods. There's some scaling bits that could use tweaking (Swords especially. They should Crit at a much higher rate and for a lot more). And some of the interesting additions that the community can come up with should be interesting as well. It's probably also good to remember that they'll be releasing official add-ons in parts during the Summer, so we'll see what they add. (I didn't buy them yet, as I really don't like buying DLC months before it arrives.) | ||

 I firmly believe that if the sales were (are) good, and the community keeps supporting the game with interest we could see a good, story-driven Xpack where XCOM2 ending lead us to. | ||

So they could have topped a million units already. Not a bad thing, me thinks. Should mean we get more in the future. | ||

(Plus other things.) I kept expecting boob jokes the entire time, haha. So I decided to check IMDB and noticed this: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/woJAr4q.png) Ain't she special. | ||

Jake already confirmed Xpack coming on a interview, i think it was with Eurogamer. I would find it weird that it would continue the story, but it could happen. | ||

I have 2 people to the left and right of the door and a few scattered around the area. Then some dude I ask to hug the wall somehow sees the pod through the walls. Oftentimes, he's even positioned between two people on the same wall in adjacent tiles neither of whom saw through the wall. It's even more infuriating when you're in high cover 2 cells from an alien and still can't see him. High cover really fucks with LoS, given your soliders always step around the corner to fire anyway, you'd think they could see aliens 2 feet away from them. | ||
