Probably. Shit was disappointing as fuck though.


At least we've got Xenonauts.

What, you thought it was a coincidence the thing was casualized and dumbed down to shit?

Nigger, anyone could see it from a mile away.
This aint PC exclusive material, and the UI reflects that.

Still highly enjoyable, glad more get to enjoy it as well.

Tera Invicta and Phoenix Point when?

Nope

I just want my time units back. 2-action shit was the single worst design part.

I could stand the removal of ammo fabrication and the slightly smaller squad size, but without time units it's tactically castrated. Even Shadowrun Returns has more tactical depth, and it's a cheap indie RPG designed for tablets.

Xenonauts 2 shouldn't be too far off IIRC. At least in this decade

Mods give me alot more enjoyment then I need it.

Suicide vest+Allah ackbar mods are GOAT

Even then, its still missing ballistics.
Im hopeful that modders will find a way, theres a nice community already, and they're doing some good shit.

Till then OpenX-COM is still alive and well, and will continue to be.


Hopefully its greatly improved, should be ready mid 2017 at least.


Yeah, theres some really neat stuff

lol

So much for PC exclusivity. Too bad the game is shit regardless.

Called it right from the start. Got assaulted by butthurt mustards for it. Didn't care, knew I was right.
A few months after console release they'll release it on mobile as well.

Let's face it. The only PC exclusive we are getting are FNAF and Undertale.

Do you think Xenonauts 2 or Terra Invicta will be any good? Firaxis are a bunch of lazy hacks who should be making mobile games, Firaxcom proves this.

Xenonauts 1 was pretty good, although it had its own spin (or removal of features) on xcom with the lack of psi powers.
I forgot what exactly the maker wrote about X2 but I'm mildly optimistic.

Back then I said they would have announced the console version 3 months after the first dlc. How close did I get? Didn't care to follow the news because the game is badly balanced and it feels like playing a mod. I can't enjoy fighting enemies with plasma rifles that do 4 damage, while I can one-shot sectopods with my own plasma rifles that somehow can use fucking rounds. Really, really bad designed game.

I thought they were making Undertale Amiibos now?

Well yeah.

After a PC game runs low on memes, they leave it behind for consoles to feast on.

FNAFs is on phones.


It was actually on the 1st place spot for a while on the app store

How do you even get the "horror" feeling you're supposed to on your fucking phone?

Never actually played FNAF, but isn't the whole game about a guy just watching camera feeds on his phone/tablet?

Maybe they added some meta shit or something. Probably not, but I wouldn't know.

So XCOM2 is less deep than the first remake?

It's about as "deep" mechanically but has less content and none of the shit they touted as big features like guerrilla strikes are meaningful.

Not necessarily. There's the stealth mechanics that weren't present in EU/EW, the ayys operate differently than the first game, the mission structure is different and the progression is more variable.

It's more that people believed it would be as deep as the old games.

Earplugs and dark room. Exactly as any horror game

Honesty I hope so. I've played the shit out of EW on my ipad

Another point in the score, PC gaming died 10years ago and only blind console war mustard deny that PC have something more than console. Shitty performance and multiplat only or shitty indie.

Also the devs seem hell bent on making the game difficult for difficulty's sake alone because they swallowed the "THATS XCOM BABY XD" koolaid.

Wow Nostradamus, got any other hot predictions?

git gud

Neither PC gaming nor console gaming died and they won't ever, 3rd party exclusives died. With some exceptions from grorious nippon but even that's about to change.
That's why the radicalization has set in, less legitimate reasons to choose one over the other means the identity attachment plays a higher role.
Love PC gaming, hate mustards. They're the worst of all platform warriors.

It's like they don't want to learn. What's wrong with them?

I'd be more apt to blame 2K for that.

Still, it wouldn't be the first time Firaxis put retarded shit on consoles. Remember that terrible Civ game on PS3 about 6 years back?

It's probably less of a hassle to develop for PC but with consoles in mind than the other way around.

Consoles are dead, they're going full SteamBox except the normalfags in the community will fully eat it up just like theyll eat paid mods once Bethesda preps the rape train.

Consoles will never die. I'd love nothing else but them to die, but they won't.

The way we're going now we might be lucky and see microsoft fuck off from the market. Nintendo might try another console, just to see it fail and resort to becoming a more general entertainment company (game centers/parks/toys/movies). By 2020 only Sony will be left in the market, always if all their other divisions don't keep failing as hard as they're doing now, forcing the company to shut down for good, and they'll have no rivalry, they'll just have complete control over the console market.

Mark my words, this is what is going to happen in the next few years. You can't play fifa and madden on mobile, consoles are not going away.

>you can't air advent's dirty laundry which doesn't exist because the story tells you how bad advent is but doesn't actually show it

Guerilla my ass. All it is a shitty reskin of EU. Nothing about the game screams guerilla. Whether gameplay, story or narrative, music, graphics, nothing. Fucking hacks.

They're no longer consoles user, they're called iPhones.

consolefags can have it for all I care.
Firaxis really has no idea what they're doing anymore. Civ6 going to flop.

I really, really liked EW.
Like, I actually bought the DLC. Even the shitty cosmetic ones just so I could change my soldiers' armor color. I dumped well over 60 hours into it and even more into the Long War.
I pirated XCOM 2, played it for 3 days, and immediately forgot about it until just now.

I guess that says enough about the sequel.

This is what boggles my mind the most. How the hell does it still have the same launch bugs from EU? How do you have the game's loading screens be sped up by pressing capslock twice in two games now? Did they literally just copy-paste EU and then reskin it?

They forced fucked UE3 into processing visual effects and animations that it simply cant support.

They were just figures

Fuck psi powers. I love Xenonauts because of that.

We're humans. We'll fuck aliens up with TACTICAL SUPERIORITY and lots of dakka,

Yet somehow the PS5 will still have no games.

Civ Revolution is actually a nice little game. More like a Mini Civ game.

I probably put 80 hours into it and it was well worth the price of admission.

ONLY ON PC

*also available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

The moment I saw this announcement I just started laughing imagining how BAD the performance is going to be on consoles. If they can't even hit a stable 60 on PCs with i7s and 980 GTX cards…

It's great seeing the console plebs in comments saying "please be 60 fps". Yeah, nigga, you ain't getting 30, let alone 60. Be happy with your fluctuating 10-25.

Is there seriously anyone on this board who didn't see that the game was still blatantly designed to fit on consoles?

Fuck I actually trusted them, Not even gonna touch Civ 6, they're dead to me now after the last few releases they've made.

Atleast the porn was good

Let me tell you something about the Valkyrie:

It's still under construction, though. Rather than just be a palette swap from the base Archon and maybe some stat tweaks, I really wanna make her a unique unit with some new abilities. Like the Icarus Slam from the DLC Archon King Ruler. Then I can publish the damn thing. (Which as you can tell from the image, is why the torso is a PG13 version, sans nips). - Loverslab forum

(Pics include)

So far this is the lewd mods the community have:
- ModModMod
- Barebaremod V2
- AProstituteLook

And if im not wrong like 2 or 3 guy do these…

You realize that Ps4 can have stable 60fps right? Fox engine have show the real potential of the console if handled by a competent dev

You're missing the crucial point: XCOM 2 runs pretty bad on PCs with enthusiast hardware many times more powerful than the current console generation.

Consoles can have stable 60, but will this game? Based on its performance on the PC, it is not likely unless some things are optimized.

Xcom is so poorly optimised I'd be surprised it could run 30fps on them

Thats your biggest mistake, plus Fox Engine scaled well in multi platforms of two different gens.

...

Here's your reply :^)

I wonder how many times cried himself the fag who made this…
Last years the consol gamers nearly didn't had any game, and so far their situation didn't turn better. Plus they fucked up their own modding opportunity so bad there is chance bethesda will drop they mod support…

If anyone not know what i'm about here is the short story: Kids got angry because their consols can't handle ported mods for Fallout 4 so they send death threats for the modders and for the devs (including Beth employees.

After this i think the consol players good damn deserve the incoming "pay for mods" service.

But it's an other topic…

Btw
are we summer now?

...

HAHAHAHAHA OMFG HAHAHAHHAHAHA
I knew when I played the game that it was PC exclusive because it was the only platform they could get the game to run on.
Seeing how fucking bugged it was and how those bugs took a fucking month or more to fix that they were treating the PC release more as a beta.

I FUCKING KNEW IT
Then they turn around after saying they would be focusing on PC and doing PC only and move to consoles.

Fuck any of those fucking Nu-com 2 fanboys I argued with endlessly, feels so fucking good right now.

Feel vindicated as fuck, my dick is leaking pre-cum.
I'm so fucking happy.
Fuck you faggot fanboys, you defending the game and riding dev dick is the reason the industry is such a shithole.

What does the PC even have coming down the pipeline?

I can't even get a good space game anymore. Stellaris was too shallow.

It has Bannerlord
Which is the only good game coming out this year

Any game that requires intensive CPU will never come to a console.
Which includes almost all roguelikes, almost every RTS though its dead, dwarf fort, games like bannerlord, strat games like dominions.

Never underestimate the autism of consol players.


Oh come on pal! Are you really think there are anyone who didn't see this from miles? Atleast pc gamers not beg in hordes from game release like consol players. (see: youtube comments, forums, official forum, stream vids chats)

How drunk are you right now?

The only cpu intensive roguelike is DF, every single other roguelike can be ran on a 2000's laptop.

RIP tablet. Why would she do that?

Sweet baby Jesus that image is pure cancer. I like how his examples of "good" console games are all mediocre. Stay mad console kiddies, I am playing games on my computers that came out 10-15 years ago and you can't because you sold your older consoles to buy the new ones
sage for offtopic platform wars BS

...

The porn is half the reason faggots bought the game.
As much as anons like to deny it there are some on this board who buy shit for the same shallow reasons casuals do.

I have no idea why anyone thinks porn scares of marketers, businesses have been shipping marketing with sex for years.

If I had a game to market I would use the budget to commission porn both vanilla and fappable types and dump it here.

You already have your answer.

I did briefly consider playing the game because of the porn. Not buying it, though. I'm not crazy.

XCOM 2 is brokenly easy. Just use grenadiers. I lost a grand total of 7 men on commander. I'm not bragging, the game is poorly balanced and favours the player too much.

I want to pirate xcom2 so badly but performance issues

Explain.
Yes, I miss the planes and tasing live xenos, it doesn't change the gameplay so much.
Gameplay was enriched by the adding new tactics and attacks to the enemies. Add to that all the new items you can make and equip.


That was a good game. Instead of calling it a proper Civ game, consider it as a Civ Lite. The only Civ game designed from the start to be playable in multiplayer, so you can actually finish a match from the stone age to the space age in 3 hours instead of 20 hours. It's also a good starting game for people who are curious about Sid Meier's Civilization games but are overwhelmed by the complexity of those games.

-Serious Sam 4
-DoW3 might not be total shit
-CiVI besides all the graphicsfags bitching looks great gameplay wise
-Endless Space 2
-Cossacks 3
-Tera Invicta
-Xenonauts 2
-Phoenix Point
-UT is looking really great and now has double jump powerup
-SQUAD is slowly coming along and every update they make adds something great
-SJWbreakers but that looks and plays like shit, slow as fuck
-Bards Tale
-Torments
-Tranny
-Dreadnough
-Call to Arms
-Another Graviteam game
-Eugen Systems (Wargame) is developing two new games

All I can think of

Oh yeah, theres also an Underworld Spiritual successor and System Shock Remake/3.

And Romeros game

I want to believe that Romero can make a good game. Hasn't he been mainly doing mobile games after Ion Storm died?
