Xcom 2

I. Running a 2500 8 gigs ram and a 290x. It's all max and runs fine.

I believe most people obsess about 60 fps but in reality they can't tell the difference *only if its real low*
Does this game require high fps to be enjoyable?

That's reassuring for me.

Just installed and discovered there's no 360 controller support I spent many happy hours playing the last one from the couch.

This is a turn based game, 60 fps does not matter.

 

[Anon_lawyer]

So far its running fine for me on a I5-3570K with a GTX-970.

Only the steam controller is supported so far at launch, that's a first.

No way in hell I'm paying $80

Green Man Gaming has it for $59.99 rights now, add the 20% off coupon and it's just under $49 CDN i believe.

My son is playing it and loves it...

PC gamers (I can say this because I am one) love to BITCH these days more than play...

 

[TheSlamma]

It's a great game. People who complain about games like this are basically screaming "I shouldn't own a PC!! I should be a console gamer only!!"

 

[futurefields]

I wonder if this will have an Enemy Within type expansion. Might wait for that since my backlog is so long already. Still haven't even played Witcher 3 which I got for free.

I'm absolutely enjoying the game.

Yeah, it's different from Enemy Unknown and some of the new mechanics can get irksome...the mission timers being one. Sometimes they're not bad but other times they really limit your strategic options, especially with the new concealment mechanic. You can't really take advantage of that and creep forward setting up a real solid ambush or you blow through a chunk of the timer.

I'm in agreement with the disappointment in the optimization. For i7 + 980Ti systems to struggle for 60fps at max while they can crush other new games like Tomb Raider at the same resolution and equally demanding settings just shows something isn't quite right.

That said, I have trouble forcing myself to stop. I love the new enemies and soldier classes and abilities. The new procedural map generation keeps things fresh, the maps look and feel a lot better and varied to me than in EU. I got it at a discount, but even so I'm more than happy with the purchase.

There a mod for that on Nexus mod. :thumbsup:

Mission timers?

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Mission timers?

Sounds like the last game where some missions are timed like get this guy to the extraction point or locate and disarm the bombs in this area.
Maybe I'm wrong but that's my guess.

 

[Elcs]

Back to Xenonauts for me.

 

[datalink7]

I'm enjoying it so far.

Back to Xenonauts for me.

Xenonauts was great - but if that's your thing, then yeah, this isn't the game for you.

Yea it's odd that Metacritic has a score of 91 while the user score is 6.8.

Sounds like a lot of the complaints might be regarding bugs. Sounds like this might need a big patch before it live sup to the meta score.

 

[dave_the_nerd]

Okay, bought and downloaded.

Playing it, it feels like the last one. But a bit choppy. Graphics are more polished. Hopefully there will be a performance patch. I like some of the new gameplay mechanics (e.g. ambushes.)

I have over 700 hours in XCOM Enemy Unknown, so... yes. Me like.

Do you like X-Com 2 more?

Not yet. Like I said, slightly twitchy. Haven't hit any bugs yet, but the levels take absurdly long to load, even off of an SSD, and there's room for performance tweaks.

Fix the performance stuff, and I will. it's just not a completely blissful experience right out of the box.

A lot of the UI animations and stuff take too long too. They're pretty, but I want to play, not wait. Speed those up about 1.5x and I'd glad.
