This is my favourite giant bomb content on the citadel. (the graphics mod is really surprisingly great, its makes it look more like me3 which is fantastic). Please could Vinny lay off the the lore spoilers and just let the game tell Alex about it all naturally, hes getting ahead of himself story wise.
Heres abit of constructive feedback... Great idea for a stream, but like other commenters have stated, please can we see the actual match playing out instead of Vinnys fake playing spectator mode next time. Its pointless watching a competitive game if you cant see people actualy competing. Theres no tension or anything to build up to. Vinny messes around and then some one dies randomly and its over? Weird to watch. Id like to see more of this game but presented in a better format. Like maybe we see Abbys perspective and she talks through the process as she does it? tbh just seeing it from the actual snipers view would do it. Feels like this got way overly complicated in its inception. Also, please learn how to play the games before streams instead of complaining throughout that you dont understand it. Thats on you, not the game, you chose to stream it, so make it fun to watch. Sure the game is complicated, but Abby and Brad clearly put the time in and without them this couldve been a disaster.
Im sorry but comparing Horizons robots to Bayformers is just absurd. What a crappy argument to put forward, so glad Brad shut it down. Spend just a couple minutes examining each one within the game world to see how beautifully designed they are. Each one has a purpose and a role with in the world that makes sense and that is reflected in their designs, especially when left undisturbed. The Crabs with the boxes on their backs, for example, and just how many ways you can interact with it is a real highlight and possibly one of my favourite creature designs in years. They show emotion through animations too as you wear them down. If you shoot the latch on its back and knock the box off they go pick them back up as if its important and will hold them with one arm loosing their shield ability but keeping their precious loot. Or just shoot one of their little legs a couple times to makes them fall over. its goes on and on. That level of detail is just genius and thats just one of the robots as an example.
10 hours in and this game is fantastic. The orcs / nemesis system are even better than the first. Bagga One Word is my favourite so far.......er er er....VIOLENCE
@corwag: personally i loved xcom ew, and enjoyed xcom 2 just as much, if not more, it just adds a load of great stuff and the new character creator, new aliens and ambush system rule. it also forces you to abandon your old tactics from the first game and try new things, which some people didnt like but i loved it. you might want to wait for the new expansion though its out in a few weeks and looks promising.
