XCOM: Enemy Within

[Wiglaf]

Do you like EW so far?

[regexcellent]

Yeah, it's fantastic. It's bigger in every way than the previous game, except arguably the geoscape, where fighters are completely unchanged. There's 6 new set-piece missions, and you aren't retreading old maps nearly as much. Variety was a big problem in the old game. MECs I haven't used yet but they appear to provide interesting combined-arms tactics that SHIVs should have done in the old game. SHIVs have been improved a lot; they can self-heal during the battle and stuff, so they're not stupid flimsy now.

Crucially, I don't think any of the new content is bad, and there's a marked improvement in level design, to the point that I am finding myself disappointed when I get an EU map instead of a new one. The new ones are not just fresh but straight up better.

Just made my first diversity hire, a fat black Polish-speaking American man named Ross

You can collect meld after dashing with run and gun

[Wiglaf]

..And he's dead, raped and face ****ed by a Seeker. Not sure how to counter them?

[Al B. Sure!]

Solution: stop playing ironman

Pretty sure that's a ***** move

[kentonio]

Solution: stop playing ironman and load from just before you start the mission when you get a squad wipe. It makes the game more enjoyable.

Only girls and children play without Ironman on.

YOU ARE NOT HAVING FUN CORRECTLY YOU ******

YOU ARE NOT HAVING FUN CORRECTLY YOU ******

When the game originally came out he started playing on something idiotic like Easy difficulty-No Ironman. He then whined about how the game was too easy while simultaneously bragging about how amazing he was at it. He's now encouraging other people to play on ****** mode, thereby reducing their own fun levels while simultaneously boosting their own delusions of greatness.

Also, you've become very passive aggressive lately. You probably need to have an affair or buy a sports car or experiment with hallucinogenic drugs or something.

[Elok]

It's all the fault of people using the term "passive-aggressive" incorrectly.

EDIT: Also, quoting Ben.

[Elok]

Try words such as "pissy" or "snarky." I am totally being a pissy snarkwad here. But not passive-aggressive.

See you're doing it again. You should totally get your boyfriend to unwad your panties for you.

[Elok]

You should stop mangling the English language. When specific terms with no easy substitutes are misused to refer to a different concept with multiple easy substitutes (some of which are defeated by the censor), our language is impoverished.

[kentonio]

You should definitely have a little cry about it.

[Elok]

Now, go look up "passive-agressive" so you'll know better in the future.

EDIT: to get this back on-topic, I'll probably never have the free time to actually play this (without neglecting my responsibilities), so I'll just, uh, read about the run you're having, and stuff.
