This is not a game but a forum just so you know.
How else are we going to warn fellow minded people?

You might get mad and annoyed others with the same mindset as me might not buy the game through my post.
So Worst case my post does just annoy you or like minded people and best case it stops someone from buying woke garbage.

So yes I do care ofc.
My posts are always a win/win for me.

I'm mostly waiting on some initial reviews to see how the game performs. I do love XCOM so this scratches that itch a bit. Also, waiting on reports to make sure the game works well via proton.


My specs:
Ryzen 5950x @ boosting 5ghz, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Master, 128gb G.Skill Trident Neo pc3600 ram, nVidia RTX 5080, SoundBlasterX G6, Samsung 980 Pro m.2 1TB and Hynix m.2 1TB storage SSD. Custom watercooling loop.

OS: CachyOS because fuck Windows!

Derpsole: Nintendo Switch, Derpstation 5 Pro

Nah, I don't play that game no more. I'll call out bullshit when I see it. Don't care if you like it or not Laughing


So not adult enough to take any sort of accountability for your hypocrisy. Well, for a "progressive" type that is the default.


Pot meets the kettle much?

That's some healthy amount of mental illness you got there.
Keep on going. At least the gaming industry is resetting with all the layoffs and now that the Saudis are buying Ea who knows they migjht be next. Very Happy


Yea, fuck the Saudis. Let's see how quickly they ruin AAA gaming Laughing

Devs have framed this they/them approach as important for fostering empathy immersion and relevance in a galaxy of misfits emphasizing
how non-binary options deepen emotional connections with the squad and reinforce themes of found family and acceptance amid the Clone Wars shadows.


Yikes
Was planning to get a ea sub to play this and if i liked it enough (if it was near xcom 2 lvls) maybe buy.

Skipped.


I thought this was simply rage bait. I mean I thought the industry was past thie virtue signaling phase. Guess not.

Perfectly valid reason to skip this game just based on this one thing. Fuck this lecturing already.

I hope there is a base to build or other ways to mess around between missions. Saw somewhere that you can walk around and talk with team or npcs so at least that's that. Sadly I don't think there is any strategic layer but I guess we'll see.

Of course. Trauma dumps by npcs over being misgendered etc is more important than any base building, bigot!

Performance is a mess, this stutters all over.
I'm getting 90FPS with dlc balanced at 1440p high settings (tex med) but at times it's a slideshow. My rig is ancient for sure, but the stutters make no sense.
Another win for UE5. This needs some serious patching.

Fun while it lasted. Suffers from the same sh*t Xcom games did. When enemy has no cover and I'm over 85% yet all attacks miss, that's my cue. Maybe when they fix the f****g hit percentages (like Xcom never did) I'll revisit. Till then, f**k off.


Rig: i7-5820k, MSI X99 Plus, Corsair 16GB DDR4:3000, Inno3d GTX 1080, Samsung 850 Pro 512GB, Corsair 850i PSU, AOC G2460PG.

Haha, yeah. I have actually seen the mechanic explained, AND it made it make a lot of sense. Unfortunately i did not keep the link, but it made me kind of less angered by how that works.

I can't recall exactly how it was explained though Laughing it was maybe 1-2 years ago on the x-com 2 steam forums..

Most probably you mean the mechanic similar to karmic dice from BG3 where it make sure that you can't get extremely lucky or unlucky.
This basically works like that: a 95% chance is not a seperate calcualtion, so if you recently scrored a hit with let's say a 5% chance, you will more likely miss the 95% one and vice versa.
You can say such "luck" is a invisible resource accumulating and balancing the game behind the scenes.
I wasn't a big fan of this mechanic when I found out about it, but I do love XCOM and it seems to be working as intended so I don't mind it now, knowing that you always need a backup plan B playing XCOM, because soon enough your plan A will fail.

And the failure rate increases every time you land safely Very Happy is this how it's implemented in this game too? Because I'm not I'm even going to bother if so Laughing


The numbers don't decide, the system is a lie. The river running dry, the wings of butterflies.
And you may pour us away like soup. Like we're pretty broken flowers.
We'll take back what is ours. One day at a time.

supposedly you can miss at 100% too in x-com.

"failure rate increases every time you land safe" not a thing for x-com, at least according to Claude...

I don't think its only the "you only remember the times where you missed at 95%, but you don't remember all the times when you hit at 95%."
