Well, to be fair to that, putting something in your scope doesn't necessarily mean you hit it. Especially if either of you are moving and you aren't taking into account wind, elevation, distance, thermal effects...whatever. Which is all what I assumed was accounted for with a skill score.

I get video games have taught us otherwise, at some point convention is convention even if its not true, and to be ultra fair, most video game shooting is done at practically knife fighting range, but I think there is a place for it, even if it bothers some.

Crash N' the Boys or get out.

I'd like that. I might also go for having to fight multiple, related bosses at the same time.

I'm wondering if its a rights issue (I believe this covers only the NES games) or if we will get them as DLC/sequel.

I just want to be able to fight Heat Man with the Ice Slasher. IE I want the game where I fight ALL of the Robot Masters.

My only worry is that I probably take longer than 2 hours to troubleshoot games that aren't working. I guess I'd have to drop them a lot earlier when it occasionally happens.

I think hunting down a human collaborator as they do the screaming and twitching while the aliens try to find and rescue them would be very interesting. Especially if things like the possibility of faulty intel or threatened family members make offing the "traitor" a lot less a clear thing to do.

My thoughts exactly. Whether its Elvis from Perfect Dark or Arbiter of Halo, faceless aliens suddenly becoming a face is generally really awesome. That these two would actually translate pretty well to XCOM aliens just makes me want it more.

Maybe it's Star Trek, maybe its the UFO games, maybe its XCOM multiplayer, but I kinda want to have the ability to have aliens in my squad. Aliens are in the top 3 of videogame enemies to slaughter, but according to XCOM lore, the groundtroops we've remorselessly killed are even more victims of the Ethereal overlords than the humans unknowingly trapped in their shiny cage in XCOM2.

Sneak Reveal!

And by that I mean Austin Walker of Giant Bomb News!

EDIT- Looks pretty neato. Interesting to still have country patches on the armor. I wonder if Fireaxis had some info on number of people that finished the game/lost versus won and planned the sequel accordingly. It's probably what I would do in choice heavy series to keep the branching manageable.

It's actually that last bit that worries me while also being shitty. This could just offload the work needed to do DLC while effectively getting paid like you made some. All kinds of annoying but otherwise ignorable stuff could be kept in place knowing paid mods will come around to address them. Things like Vinny's Bane (carry weight limitations) even if that specific example would probably be included in large mods or race to the bottom in pricing.
