Sharpshooter

EDIT: Oh, didn't realise how far in this was.

Doesn't mean you won't get in. I have to go back to an earlier save because of the game not explaining new mechanics.
Even then, you can alter recruits after you get them iirc

That's what I've been doing for every recruit that ranks up.
I wasn't sure if you created a set of characters before you started the game or not.

I would, but there's no way to guarantee that they'll rank up into the classes people wanted.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.

Nothing noteworthy except for Big Boss rescuing both Bacon and Das from the clutches of sectoid mind control.

So my heroic rescue is no longer canon?

His eyebrows sparkling, his white beard hangs down to his chest. The thatched mats, spread outside his chise, spread softly, his splendid attos. He polishes, cross-legged, his makiri, with his eyes completely absorbed.

He is Ainu.

The god of Ainu Mosir, Ae-Oine Kamuy, descendant of Okiku-Rumi, He perishes, a living corpse. The summers day, the white sunlight, unabrushed, ends simply through his breath alone.

That happened 3 missions before where we resumed from. So yes, it's still canon.

Updates are going to be quick run downs until I get to where I was unless something cool goes down during a mission.

Mission 7: Eastern US Blacksite Cleared

Das took a squad comprising of himself, Luci, Bacon, Neko, and Prime to this one.

Spoiler

Prime
The aliens built a hidden lab where they were experimenting on abducted people that they kept in stasis pods. Most of the resistance was outside of the compound, however with some good positioning the 5 of them were able to cut through an enemy with both superior numbers and firepower

Spoiler

Once the compound was breached Neko took it upon himself to carry the objective like always.

Spoiler

After retrieving said objective the 5 of them left the compound and positioned themselves in an area where they could easily gun down the reinforcements as they tried to disembark from their dropships. One the enemy lay dead at their feet they called in for evac and escaped before more could show up.

Mission Results

22 enemies KIA
Zero friendlies KIA
4 friendlies wounded
Blacksite vial retrieved


Mission 8: Retaliation

With much of the squad wounded from the last mission SuperIrish had to assemble a B-team to tackle this one. The people he chose were Big Boss, Luci, Sandtrap, and Incan. It was a pretty standard rescue the attacked settlement operation. Other than Incan deciding to mano y mano a muton and coming out on top, Luci was able to crit one of the faceless before it could pulverize Big Boss.

Spoiler

Mission Results

All enemies KIA
Zero friendlies KIA
Three friendlies wounded
Resistance settlement defended

IIRC, the developers said that they're considering bringing the game to XB1 and PS4 at some point. But the last one didn't do too well on consoles so it made more sense for them to spend as much effort making the PC version as good as possible and then consider porting it to consoles later on.

I hope it does come to XB1, looks pretty good. And apparently you don't need to have played the original as it retcons the original's ending anyway (TotalBiscuit's video).

Edit: I just checked. The CEX in my town (I walk past it every day) has a couple of copies going for only £3 for the 360 - is it worth it? XCOM 2 looks pretty cool and it's piqued my interest in the 'original' one.Original as in not ancient.

Get this version fam, it's the base game and the top notch expansion which makes the game a whole lot better. https://uk.webuy.com/product.php?sku=5026555262644#.Vrc9zECbupo

They don't have that in stock anywhere near me

I might look on amazon, though, and see how much it is.

That reminds me, I bought the XCOM expansion ages ago and never played it.

Now I know what to do while I wait for a good time to get XCOM2.

I hope they bring 2 to console so I can play it.

They'd have to bring down the graphics like crazy if they did, though.

I remember reading an interview a while back where they said they were open to a console port, but for now they're focusing on the PC because it's got the horsepower to essentially make XCOM 2 the way they want it to be.

Also it doesn't really retcon the ending, it just makes the bad end canon.

I'll bring you back when I finish researching gauss tech. Right now low level sharp shooters and grenadiers are outdone by recruits due to their outdated weaponry.

Yeah, Das took you along for the first Blacksite mission.

I did like three missions before an 8 hour shift so I barely remember what happened during them so no updates for those. The only thing I can really recall is that they were a terminal defense and two vip rescue missions. Also Ender nearly killed Neko during one of them due to sectoid mind control.
