So what's the current unit look like?
Also LC you are basically selling this game to me
I'll take a screenshot of the roster next time I'm on.
It's also important to note that I am writing fluff into this to make it more interesting to read for you guys. Personally I feel like having me type out that I made A B and C unit do X Y and Z is a lot less interesting than writing it out as if each one of you have your own agency.
This game is a turn based tactical RPG that can be downright unforgiving and we're starting to reach the point where Sep7 people are going to be kicking the bucket.
This is really the only reason most people signed their names up for doing your dirty work LC.
We wanna eat popcorn and watch the fireworks. And then congratulate the survivors.
I'm barely getting everyone out alive right now. The last mission I did (which I still need to write up) had one rookie die and everyone except for Azure come out gravely wounded.

In case people died can one, namely me, still sign up?
Everybody can always sign up. There's no end to the amount of recruits I can get.

Regardless of the reporter and hired person's gender, it would still be a story about validation, anyone who can't see that is too stuck on gender equality shit
Uh, no. It's creepy.
I can't tell if you're saying this ironically or not.
Hiring a hooker and pretending he/she's your sexual partner for validation isn't creepy to you?
Escorts tend to be more classy than your off the corner hooker so I don't know if "creepy" would be the right word to use.

 Ender, Kupo, and Big Boss in the bar.  Das and Bacon chatting on the sofa, Fruit watches TV with an engineer, and CMD talks to the ship captain. Oh and Azure is being a loner.

I should probably let everyone know that we're going south of the border. Two blacksites popped up in South America and we need to destroy them. Pull out your sombreros everyone cause we're clearing Mexico and heading straight into New Brazil.

Mission 12: Disabling Enemy Communications With Das still in the hospital it was decided to give Ender the role of squad leader due to her rapidly increasing kill count and knack for flanking the enemy. For this mission she put together a team of herself, Baconshelf, Neko, Luci, and the newcomer Azure. The team was deployed to a little town on the outskirts of Seattle. Upon arriving Ender lead them stealthily through the town until they came up on the objective. Unfortunately multiple patrols were hugging the abandoned house in which the relay was situated in, not to mention the automated turrets sitting along the roadway. Ender motioned her team into their positions. Everyone save for Baconshelf was to go into over watch and keep their guns at the ready for the inevitable rush of enemies once Bacon had completed his hack of the nearby turret. After a few moments the blare of an alarm sounded success. The turret was disabled and multiple advent came streaming out of the house only to be cut down by a hail of bullets. As soon as the final one fell the team rushed up into the next set of cover and prepared for the next wave while Ender snuck around the side to destroy the relay. Spoiler  Azure executes one of the advent lancers that attempted to hide After a short, but intense firefight Ender was given the opportunity to destroy the relay with her mag shotgun. However as if seemingly on cue a viper emerged from bushes and burst through the window to strangle her. Acting quick Baconshelf immediately sent out his combat drone to shock the sneaky snake, freeing Ender in the process. She jumped through the window in order to get some distance between her and her enemy before wheeling around and filling it with a blast full of high velocity super heated lead. She wasn't out of the woods yet though as a sectoid ran around the corner to attack Enders exposed back. A moment of fear Two loud bangs And then a blood-curdling scream followed by the thud of what could have been her killer. Spoiler  Just why do you carry around that sniper rifle anyway? All enemies KIA Enemy communications relay destroyed Zero friendlies KIA Four friendlies wounded Mission success

I am in dire need of more heroics, Él Sí.
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.
Wait, what? I just meant more updates. I showed up already?
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.

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.
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.

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 Once the compound was breached Neko took it upon himself to carry the objective like always. 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 Results22 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. Mission ResultsAll enemies KIA Zero friendlies KIA Three friendlies wounded Resistance settlement defended

Looks like it wasn't actually removed, they just got rid of the tedious head patting minigame and skipped straight to the end conversation/text/voice blurb. Which I'm personally fine with because that was the bit I cared about anyway.

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

Redid the mission that SuperIrish died on. He shoved his pistol into he mouth of a snake that tried to strangle him and blew its brains out this time. And Neko captured the enemy VIP.

Lost 6 hours of progress, but SuperIrish is still alive.

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.

Could that mean I'm not dead?
Possibly, I don't know exactly how far back it is.

jesus this game looks good
If you're talking visually that's part of the reason it's PC exclusive apparently. This generation of consoles just isn't powerful enough to make the game look and run the way Firaxis wanted it to.

So the game didn't explain the difference between radio towers and resistance communication towers until the avatar project was about to be completed. Therefore I'm going to have to go back a few hours to a point where I can avert the path we're currently on. I normally don't save scum like this, but because it was the fault of the game not giving clear instructions and not explaining the new mechanics I'm going to do so. As compensation here are pics of you guys fighting the alien menace. Spoiler  CMD  Big Boss missing every shot  Neko attempting to clean up a kill  CMD field testing the new magnetic rifles  Kupo laying down fire  Baconshelf saving CMD from becoming someones fetish fuel  A shot of the enemy  Luci about to pop some Advent skulls  Das mowing down a border hopper  Sandtrap  Fruit joins the team. Unfortunately NZ isn't a nationality option so I had to stick her with the Irish.  Sandtrap taking down a beserker moments before it crushes Incan  Ender fighting a robot  An Advent soldier tries to hide from Sandtrap  But then Ender cuts him in half with her sword But then two of the civilians we were protecting turned into giant fleshy monsters.  So Luci domes the one between Incan and Sandtrap  And Ender blows the head off the other with her shotgun
