Title: XCOM: enemy within DLC is out today
Post by: Banok on November 15, 2013, 02:39:39 pm
I'm downloading it, I've played xcom 2012 a ton but i'm hoping this expansion will have enough in it to make at least 1 more playthrough fun.

So they cut out the XCOM base siege out of the game and then made a sequel out of it? Hell thats cheap.

This DLC is sweet if you enjoyed the game, it adds quite alot of new stuff and increases replay value alot, which is nice for us trying to beat I/I (ironman impossible) since it envolves attempt after attempt.

The DLC does seem harder I've lost like 8 attempts at C/I, so I thought i'd watch someone else play and this lets play series is really good:

I actually enjoyed (new) XCom quite a lot, unfortunately my game crushed on a regular basis when my guys were using laser weapons. I could bypass this by skipping lasers and going directly for plasma weapons, but since I installed the DLC, my game crashes even with conventional weapons (about 2-3 months into the campaign).  :(

Yes, I think with the "Slingshot" DLC they introduced missions from the Council in which Cryssalids appear even before the first terror mission. Turned out quite nasty for me, too... :cry:

I never played the original but I fucking enjoy the new XCOM. Grabbed it for 8 euros lately, it's a steal IMO.

You have to get Enemy Within. It adds tons of cool stuff. Totally worth it cuz it adds real value to the game.

Its on discount now and the deal ends in like 20 hours or less so you better grab it now, worth it.

Got base game for free, thanks to annual Joystick awards. If you earn more than 8 euro per 10 minutes, it isn't worth to go through voting process and registration.

Actually I bought everything in that pack so I played Enemy Within directly.

I'm currently playing on Normal Ironman (I don't see the point of not going Ironman here) and it's... surprisingly easy. Lost two soldiers very early then nobody else, succeeded all the missions offered to me as of now.

When you've beaten the game at least once, go check out the Long War mod. Adds a ton of new stuff; classes, bigger squads&officers, equipment, alien "leader" units etc.

Link to Long War mod.

Check out beaglerush's LP of it if you want to (although beware terrible intro for that season).

It starts out pretty easy and ramps up the difficulty later on pretty steep. I think after you assaulted their mountain base (is this a spoiler? :?)
Keep playing... :)

I'm not interested in the new one, but anyone knows which of the clones/remakes/inspired ones are best?

Played a lot of TFTD back in the day.. Awesome game, but hard!

I gave up on the last mission after it bugged out a couple times. Not only that but once you get to the final mission, even on Ironman you can fail it and still retry it again. Once some enemies didn't spawn and another my sniper was stuck two rooms back on the jetpack because it ran out of fuel but she wouldn't land because the ground was "blocked", in the middle of an empty room no-less. The final enemy immediately possessed my psionic and best assault soldier and after the squad was dead the sniper had the mission un-winnable. Loading the game just put me in the same spot.

Assassin's Creed did something similar at the very end. I quit out and when I loaded I was in an area that was invisibly walled in. I wonder if that's why I have a habit now of not finishing games with about a half hour left.

That only happened in the very early more or less unpatched version iirc. I had the exact same thing: bug in the final mission and reloading the save, it was bugged as well.
Started playing it a month later or something and had no issues at all.
