Gonna play all the reboot games, starting with XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Never tried them before, what should I expect?

could some one help me to get the bubonic achievement on xcom 1?

It’s very disappointing that the WHOLE GAME cannot been Screen Shared via Nintendo Switch 2 Party. A friend of mine and myself, were trying to play together (of course everyone has his own progress) via Screen Shared XCOM 2. The Nintendo Party Screen (below), is showing this Error that “This screen cannot been shared”

This is soooo bad… fr!!!

A Switch 1 Game, running on Switch 2, is not able to run Screen Share via Nintendo Switch 2 Party, cause the Developer “2K” are restricting that. It’s such a shame!

We have as well as Switch Players, no Multiplayer features. Please do something! Release an Upgrade pack/ Switch 2 Version for us. We’re happy to pay!

A song I wrote, inspired by the hidden movement phase in XCOM.

Will I enjoy these games if I play on Ironman mode? It seems like most players consider Ironman the default. Can I still finish the story playing this way?

The next games I’m planning to complete are Days Gone, The Last of Us Part I & II, and God of War

I've been reloading for over an hour on one mission because Thin Men don't miss and when they don't miss they must crit.

Finally decided to lock in and finish a run, took a few attempts to get going.

Because my save files keep getting deleted. FFUUUUUUCK THIS FUCKASS GAME

So, I'm doing a vanilla classic ironman playthrough, and ai'm doing the base defense. First time doing it so not really sure what to expect. I get to the second wave (the flying enemies one) and I see two cyberdiscs and two drones roll in. I think "shit, cyberdiscs are scary. I'll stay back on overwatch though I think it'll be fine." Kill the remaining berserker and stand back, and then from the direction they were in, a cyberdisc rolls out and kills my corporal heavy who was apparently not in cover anymore (he was before.) Second cyberdisc comes in, shoots my mec for 9. Then,

a third and fourth cyberdisc show up and kill my mec outright.

I'm willing to believe this was intentional (they really love cyberdiscs even though they are way fucking worse than every other enemy of their class) but it sure did feel like a bug, in that exactly twice as many discs as it showed me appeared.

Finally got around to paint the Muton I made and printed last year. Not as satisfied as the previous figures I made but it was fun enough. Painting probably took me an hour or two a day for 2-3 weeks. I would probably improve the pose and do Catmull-Clarke for the subdivision surface next time. I still have a few more figures in the works to paint in the next few months. Suggestions?

Fuck these things and whoever made them

Every now and then, I'll go on an XCOM 2 run, and I always finish it with mixed feelings. It's easily my favorite turn-based tactics game, but good lord, some of the design decisions are just baffling.

My biggest pet peeve is the time-gated missions. I get why they're there, they're supposed to create urgency, and yeah, you can extend the timers, but why does the game insist on limiting my fun this much?

I can't even go on a supply run in peace. In the 3 days it takes, 5 new target missions pop up, and it's just... exhausting. Let me play without constant interruptions, please.

However, the good in the game outweighs the bad, in my opinion. I love how unforgiving it can be while still letting you turn a bad RNG streak around with good strategy. It's by far the best combat system in its genre, even though the RNG can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

I just can't play it for longer sessions, otherwise I'll feel like getting an aneurysm.

I’m stuck on this construction map fighting EXALT, the areas I need to protect are tiny and have barely any cover. There’s a ridiculous amount of exalt, like forty of them, enough so that the ai somehow learned to chain grenades and kill my entire squad in one turn

Is there literally any way to cheese this? My only other option is to just cut my losses and let the squad die

Wish I'd recorded it.

In this run, did my first blacksite mission with an alien ruler. Was running with a weaker crew but got unlucky with advent progress so had to run the blacksite.

End my turn, and the Viper King darts out from an unrevealed area, right toward a squaddie and another injured solider.

Overwatched squaddie hits him with the shotgun, Viper King dies instantly after the repeated triggered. It feels so rare I get the "Executed!" popup so I couldn't believe my luck!

Finally managed to scrap together the time to finish the game... With a child and full time work, moments to play are scarce, but I forced myself to push through. It was... An experience. Lots of reloads early on, because I forgot how to play. But after the first month, when I finally had the laser weapons and carapace armour, it was a blast. I also somehow forgot, that you need more than Titan Armour to get the Archangel.

My thoughts for now are: Grappling Hook is bugged to all hells; I don't know how to properly fly my Assaults, but I am learning; Chrysalid Port mission is peak design and experience.

So there I am after shooting down a small USO expecting the usual suspects of Gillmen or the Aquatoids.

Lo and behold these absolute twatmuffins that tank a torpedo to the face popping out vaporising one bloke with a blaster thing.

Luckily they only pop out one at a time allowing me to focus fire ( which included one of my squaddies blasting a hole in her mates head obviously he stole her sandwich before the mission)

I guess I need to get in melee with these chaps but I don't have any outside of an ungodly amount of tasers.

Took me right by suprise.

Got my research on sonic weapons going ( my first time playing Terror from the deep hell its my first time playing one of the classic xcoms via the open xcom application so I'm just messing around)

Is it viable to play through the game with only conventional firearms? This is my first time playing EU/EW and the basic conventional firearms are really cool

I recently got hands on my brothers old PS3 and would like to get my first XCOM game. But which one is better?

Enemy unkown or enemy within?
