XCOM: enemy within DLC is out today

[Banok]

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.

[Leesin]

Is this a DLC for that recently made XCOM game that turned out to be completely shit.

[Banok]

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:

Don't waste your time with this shit, get X-Com: Apocalypse.

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).

Beware Newfoundland.


I played a mission on newfoundland that

spawned an increasing number of chryssalids each turn

RIP in pieces xcom squad.

[Franke]

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...

[Banok]

Well i finally beat enemy within on impossible last week which put me off playing games since. it was pretty fucking intense, especially the first few months. and yeah I skipped newfoundland, nothing bad happened - but I have seen how bad it is in a lets play.

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.

[Logen]

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

[Leshma]

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.
