Sorry, we're not working on XCOM. Enjoy more capeshit dlc, lmao.
“I personally have no information on that right now and I say that because, truly, yesterday I was working on Morbius’ abbey outfits and recolours, so I am not working on it. I don’t have any secret agenda, I don’t know anything about XCOM at this point.”
See you guys in several years.

I don’t want him to have anything to do with X-Com. I don’t want Firaxis to make any more X-Com games. I want them to go bankrupt.
well , it was morbing time
/xcg/ died for this?
yes
/xcg/ died the moment they allowed snekgays in
Snek posters kept it a float, if anything, it was dying, maybe, but it died around the time capeshit xcom came up.
/xcg/ won vgl then too
>Snek posters kept it a float
/xcg/ was better dead than being artificially kept alive with unironic snek erotic fanfictions, I've been there and it was a painful sight.
>unironic snek erotic fanfictions
You say that like it's a bad thing, it's 9000% better than the average /vg/ post.
NTA but there's a time and place for snake lewds and the place definitely isn't /vg/.
More than half of /vg/ is bot posts/really dedicated spergs spamming meaningless drivel to prevent meaningless generals from sliding off the board.
Also, more than half of the generals are for gacha cancer, and a significant portion of the rest are autistic splits like /mcg/ vs /mmcg/ or /erg/ vs /eroge/.
Furhomosexualry is high quality in comparison, fricking hell even gore spam would be welcome at this point.
>Snek posters come in and run off remaining community and then claim they're the victims who were actually keeping it afloat at the end
Guess they all nekked themselves and that's why it died then
cope
I don't mind, really. We are getting some good TBT so it's not like I have to reinstall XCOM and play LWR if I want my dose.
Why is long war 2 so shit bros?
Did we all just play original long war because EW didn't have mod support?
What I find weird is how 2 didn't get a major overhaul mod like the fist one. Truly a mistery.
What makes LW2 worse than LW1?
They made strategy layer way too complicated, it's actually insane how many background hidden systems there are that you can only find out about are from either digging into the mod files and reading up on this shit or by installing mods on top of mods that will explain them to you. And even if you know about them the strategy layer is just stressful as frick it's not fun, it's deep and complex and somewhat well designed but definitely not fun. This does make the game feel more like leading a guerilla force you really feel like you're shit out of luck against advent I'll give them that.
long story short is that more complexity didn't make for a better game, I still think LW2 is worth playing but just once
Who cares, the only good shit that came from firaxis picking up xcom was LW1 anyways.
Good. Tired franchise. Midnight Suns is great.
>capeshit normalgays with dogshit taste
Ganker has been fully infested we are finally reddit
Absolute troony cope
Capeshit is for trannies
>finally
homie you were always just "reddit but racist"
tired from what?
Lies make baby Jesus cry, Anon.
Cry more. XCOM 2 wasn't fun, I'd rather see them do more with Midnight Suns and that combat system.
There was combat? I only saw people running around a sims mansion in the streams.
if you really like teenage visual novels I recommend checking out goodbye volcano high when that comes out
Only played xcom2 WOTC two times, once with savescumming and once ironman
I enjoyed it way more than 1 even if some of the advent designs were cringe to me. (although i wasn't a fan of the first firaxis xcom look either)
mods fixed me having a good looking squad though
Have yet to play enemy within, maybe i'll give that a go after finishing Hard West 2. But honestly trying xcom2 without wotc sounds more appealing to me for some reason.
I'll probably be 50 when it comes out. I don't mind a new expansion for 2
>Could have had XCOM3
>Could have had Terror from the Deep
>Instead we get a shitty marvel flop that is already 50% off
Frick Marvel
Frick Firaxis
Frick Jake
Sci-fi bros, what the frick do we do? There's nothing for us to play anymore.
>What about Starfie-ACK!
There's just nothing coming up for us.
nu XCOM is trashy sci fi
That's the best kind
that's fine
but i just preferred the mix of thrashy 50's scifi and thrashy 90's X-files sci-fi of the original game
It rode that line between completely serious and still being quaint and adorable looking.
New ones try more to be "cool" instead of serious". But that cool hero for teens to adults ironically make it seem more kiddy to me than the full blown big headed ay lmao greys and slightly cute looking sprites of the original.
Ideally an xcom game looks mostly realistic, but still has the iconic personal armor look and weird haircuts and 50's looking flying saucers and shit. Make it only very slightly exeggerated in a cartoony style, even less so than the often pixarey look of the nuxcoms. I especially hated the mr. incredible/gears of war looking proportions of soldiers.
Nu XCOM is pure capeshit, good fricking riddance
Realistically speaking how long do we have to wait for another XCOM game?
5 years
How the frick am i gonna last 5 years in this clown world considering how the last 5 have been like.
You shouldn't, because there won't be one.
Cmon don't say that man.
Frick...
I mean it. They have no interest or intent to make another.
they probably will do a few small dlcs and a big expac for midnight shits before they even start on 3, which will be another year or two +however long 3 takes to make
minimum 5 years
Is it even worth for them to be working that much more on Midnight Suns.
I feel like it couldn't be as profitable as XCOM 2. None of the people I know who played XCOM 2 even gave Midnight Suns a chance and there is barely any talk of it online.
Probably got into a horrible contract with Disney before people started to realize capeshit and Disney are in a steep decline.
Judging by these stats, not even close. Maybe it did better on the consoles
Considering it runs horribly on PC, it most likely did.
That is rough
>steam userbase more than doubled since XCOM2 released in 2016
>still only pulls ~12% OF XCOM2's peak
holy shit.
I really don't knew what they were thinking, the overlap between cretinous MCU fan and squad tactics enthusiast must be paper thin.
Id play xcom with marvel skins, but frick playing a card game, if i wanted that id boot slay the spire again. They couldnt even get the persona aspect right
I dont understand these moron devs
you have a great product that people love and what do you do with it? abandon it completely or shit on it with a half assed sequel
they could just copy paste wotc and call it xcom 3 and people would eat it up
same shit with the arkham devs
make more arkham games you homosexuals!
this game could've been successful if they made it like six years ago when capeshit hype was in full swing.
but nowadays even the normalgaygiest of normalgays has reached capeshit fatigue.
Why is Marvel such a poison for video games?
Avengers sold like shit too
GotG sold bad too
Spiderman on ps4 sold good but thats it
They're making Morbius dlc. Theat shows right there that their plans were decided a while ago and do not reflect recent trends.
Hey, at least we have Terra Invicta... oh, right.
Not a a TBT. But we are getting Jagged Alliance 3 and End State.
Is there a way to play Xcom 2 but without the story? Like you only play with your characters against AIs, I can't stand the "story"
Just skip all the cutscenes?
¨There is also probably a mod somewhere to remove the random chatter from Tygan, Shen, The chosen and so on.
but guys; midnight suns is the game that jake always wanted to make!
seeing interviews on how the new xcom games were made makes that statement full of shit
I think he just saw a chance to make a marvel game and the big paycheck that would come with
Why does everything disney fricking touch turn to shit? Holy frick when will it burn down to the ground. Frick them and their shitty comic trash
you don't fricking get it
they CANNOT make a new XCOM
the last game inspired a rogue team of combatants to fight an ALIEN OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENT
doesn't that make you think of something? OH YEAH, CURRENT DAY
they would never EVER let them make something like that again, we are to only eat and slurp up the crappy goyslop until our brains are practically lobotomized
however, they will never win, they will fricking lose
frick them
also DODGE IS FRICKING BULLSHIT
the remake of xcom was far too granular in its strategy
and since that's too easy to game, the designers modified the AI to create challenging situations where the aliens would always have a chance to reposition themselves when discovered
and then when they realized that that could be effortlessly gamed as well, they added yet more limitations, like forcing you to make bad choices to get to the objectives in just a few turns
the strategy section was also simplified, forcing you to play within a precise timetable to preserve your funding, rather than funding yourself with missions
why would you want more of this dishonest design
LWR fixed that.
>play oldcom
>the optimal strategy is to just level everything with explosives, anything else is just intentionally gimping yourself
very deep and complex gameplay there.
xcom was always shit.
just like real war
if you shoot up the UFO interiors you dont recover any of the nice material that allows you to make money or research things
so you have to decide when to play carefully and went to scorch the earth, that is called gameplay
and none of that has anything to do with nucom being 'back up into full cover and go into overwatch'
Its time to play XPiratez, the greatest Xcom game ever made
https://www.moddb.com/mods/x-piratez
>play Xcom
>fight war with six people
>see one alien and have all of them alerted to me while they interrupt my turn
>can’t shoot first and run afterwards
>break every ufo mission as every alien immediately runs and triggers overwatch because every alien does the same thing
And nothing of value was lost.

Who cares nu-com is shit anyways, the porn is the only thing that game is known for
Why is it that I loved Enemy Unknown/Within but I can't stand playing XCOM 2? It just feels awful. I have 50 hours in XCOM 2 but I just cant bring myself to ever actually finish it.
>I don’t have any secret agenda, I don’t know anything about XCOM at this point.
XCOM 3: Secret Agenda confirmed
either he was trolling or it was a cry for help
>no you can't play every map we want you to make critical choices
>oh you rolled a 1/100? too bad your favorite dude is permadead
>look at this countdown doesn't it make you nervous
the xcom format is tired let it stay dead
that sounds like fun
i usually hate rng of any kind, but xcom is so good i make an exception
This. Midnight Suns was a lot more fun without the dogshit RNG and overbearing timers over everything.
>oh, you didn't get the end game research done within the first few missions? Lol, now you'll never win. Enjoy your Chrysallids.
Who are you even talking about?
>expecting Ganker to know videogames
I guess I set myself up for failure. Both Eidos Montreal and Firaxis got pushed off the series they're known for and made to shit out marvel trash. How do you not know this?
Midnight Suns is a turn based strategy game. Fricking idiot.
That's fine with me. They don't deserve to right to make another xcom game.
>company known for first person stealth action games gets forced into a third person GAAS character action game for capeshit
>company known for turn based strategy games gets forced into a third person character action game for capeshit
Why is this?
>Marvelshit is the biggest thing in the world
>moronic execs think this will last so they make devs chase the money even though games take 3-4 years to make and movies take a year.
I mean, they did do quite a lot with the two last games. Where dlse can you take the series?
I'd like to see a game with way more focus on the lost and fights with multiple groups of operatives.
I'd like to see the more granular points and inventory system of the original return and make more use of that. (managing inventory mid fight, passing stuff around soldiers, carrying dead ayy lmaos or artefacts for research.
Maybe some ground warfare and building defenses. Much like the base building in the og.
Where you need some place to survive for research or protection and can put resources and planning towards bunkering in in case aliens come along.
Hijacking alien craft. Stealing alien resources. Battles on moving ships.
Being able to use intel to get the drop on an alien operation. Then having agency over sabotaging an alien operation and hiding your soldiers guerilla style, choosing when to set off bombs or trapdoors before attacking them.
There's a lot of stuff you can do.
But in general it's the granularity of the og actionpoints and ESPECIALLY the very clear rules for line of sight that I miss.
Detecting or staying hidden was too vague in nu xcoms. It felt (and was) arbitrary as the game sort of decided when its time to spawn a pod somewhere instead of you stumbling upon aliens that were actualy already there doing stuff.
The addition of sounds triggering the opponent and vice versa was enjoyed. That was important but always felt half unintentional in the original. Hearing doors was crucial in tipping you off where people could be. Not sure if they aliens had that advantage for your moves either.
Played halo games up to reach for co-op with my bro. Some of them I don't recognisce but work great in xcom.
Mods are still going strong
Last run I tried that RPGO mod
Really fricking cool
A bit OP, but you counterbalance that by installing a bunch of bullshit OP aliens
If everything is OP, then nothing is. Objectively the BEST design philosophy.
I miss people making Halo mods every week.
