Date: November 6th, 2019 4:19 PM Author: razzle-dazzle pontificating home The time limit, very limited resources for the ship, the random UFO attacks, and he ONE WRONG MOVE in the research tree make this game very stressful.

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:20 PM Author: brilliant aphrodisiac university ape yeah they went a little overboard with the factionwide maluses imo, especially on the hardest two difficulties constantly felt like you were being heavily penalized just for existing |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:21 PM Author: Histrionic Mischievous Doctorate Honestly, I enjoyed XCOM: EU more than XCOM 2. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081090) |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:22 PM Author: internet-worthy whorehouse I appreciated 2's stealth mechanic
But agree that if EU had that it would be a better game |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:25 PM Author: Histrionic Mischievous Doctorate Also, with EU you can build up a team of all MECs and steamroll pretty much any enemy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081113) |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:17 PM Author: razzle-dazzle pontificating home No just the base game (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081062) |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:27 PM Author: domesticated motley sound barrier WOTC expansion gives you additional options for your campaign like doubling turn timers, more mission types (mostly without turn timers), "sitreps" that alter missions (ex: enemies are all permanently revealed on the mission, mission only has psychic enemies, squad size cut to 3 and enemy pod sizes reduced, etc), friendly factions with "hero" units you can hire, a neutral faction, new bosses, bugfixes, performance tweaks, etc. Really good expansion overall
Turn timers got a lot of hate in vanilla because everyone just overwatch camped the entire game in XCOM EU and it felt annoying that the game was forcing you to take risks |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:30 PM Author: internet-worthy whorehouse The sniper hero was way OP in the expansion (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081146) |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:34 PM Author: Histrionic Mischievous Doctorate Every hero battle was stressful as hell. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081167) |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:34 PM Author: internet-worthy whorehouse Oh I meant the one you got that stayed cloaked even next to enemy units
Yeah those battles sucked |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:48 PM Author: Histrionic Mischievous Doctorate Right, they each had some weakness. But every time you were grinding your teeth. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081231) |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:35 PM Author: domesticated motley sound barrier imo Templars are the best unit of the 3 (especially late in the game), but Reaper seems better because they can get you over the initial "hump" of difficulty when you're trying to tackle facilities with shit armor and shit weapons. Skirmishers definitely feel a bit underwhelming (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081176) |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:37 PM Author: internet-worthy whorehouse I never really used Templars because they're melee focused (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081181) |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:47 PM Author: domesticated motley sound barrier Their abilities make up for it though (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081225) |
|
Date: November 6th, 2019 4:17 PM Author: Histrionic Mischievous Doctorate Wtf, no it isn't.
EDIT: However, if you fuck up you WILL need to restart. |

Date: November 6th, 2019 4:19 PM Author: razzle-dazzle pontificating home Yeah, i fucked up a few times and just gave up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4377380&forum_id=2#39081076) |

Date: November 6th, 2019 5:38 PM Author: elite cocky space Base game is not that hard. The Long War 2 mod can get pretty nutty, with liberation missions where you have to fight against over 100 enemies and need to bring multiple full squads of high lvl perfectly armed troops.
