Yeaaah I don't wanna be the weird person who talk about other people's health online but things like the amount of soda he drinks seem just sorta shocking to me, I dunno.
Like... listen, I'm not exactly a healthy eater by far and I sure do have many instances of "this is horrible but I'm doing well overall so I'll never fix it" currently, so I'm not judging or anything, but that can't end well, right? Dude has ridiculous luck but still.

Non sugar soda isn't going to activate his diabetes lol.
The amount of candy he eats might though.

Someone will get it.
The missions get harder and they'll only have rookies.
Country panic will continue to mount. When you get a choice for mission, any country you don't pick goes up, and if you fail a mission, that continent goes up in panic as well.
Additionally, continuing to lose soldiers means you lose valuable experience - Going in with a handful of Rookies with no unique skills or increased stats from levelling up means it's going to be that much harder to kill enemies
They need money for soldiers (and the soldiers they get will be rookies), and countries are already starting to get pissed at them.
I don't actually know the loss conditions but I'm assuming it's tied to countries backing out? And they're going to lose some already because, going by what people in the thread have said, they won't actually have another satellite up for a month.

The more i play Mario+rabbids the more I'm wondering why don't people just call it an srpg rather than an x-com lite.
Hell, if it's because of the cover based third person shooter thing valkyria chronicles did it way before the x-com reboot.

That's a fine time to do it.
Honestly though the switch's lineup is really impressive. It's the best first year of a console since... god knows how long.
We can't have people using genre names that might get them to look at older japanese titles, now can we? Everything has to be modern, gritty and use guns. Like X-COM.
Because X-Com is the most popular and recent one of those.
hmm yeah I like this idea
If I don't have one by the end of this year then I'm gonna wait it out for the next iteration.
If you think Xcom is gritty you've been playing a very different Xcom lmao

Hardly anyone calls xcom an srpg though. Even though that's totally what it is.
Though i kind of see why because x-com to me does signify the survival metagame layer, but m+r is more like your usual srpg progression.
I do not think a video would necessarily be interesting but can agree with your views on this multiplayer mode.
What do people generally call X-com?

I'd like to see Rainbow Six: Siege since it holds the same intensity as PUBG, just on a much smaller and tighter scale. Also matches don't take forever.
they'll never play it though

Usually some variant of tactical combat or turn based tactical.

Mario+Rabbids is way more like XCOM than FFT,Disgaea, or Fire Emblem. People have definitely shifted to those far closer shorthand in recent years with thing like Soulslike and Metroidvania those are both subgenres in much bigger ones but people like using those more explicit names. The Soulslike stuff is of course a mess, because tons of stuff gets that descriptor, but often don't mean much more than melee combat and hard.
I think people try to lump it in more with stuff like Commandos, Desperados, and Jagged Alliance and more broadly turn based strategy like Civilization. I think that's a product of it PC roots and people who were fans of it not really aware of SRPG games.
The term "srpg" when removed from its history/lineage comes off as really broad.

It's not hard to get when the link to the image includes her name.

I mean aren't most of the genre names even subgenre names this way? Throw up a thread asking if Zelda is an Action Adventure or Action RPG and you'll probably get a 5+ thread of people arguing semantics.

Don't turn on Ironman. The saving after every turn causes some serious issues.

Why is 43 year old Luigi dabbing in Rabbids?
He's hip with the kiddos. How do you dab, fellow kids
He was already dabbing something else to get where he is now.
Yeah, I was trying to get at why people don't just call x-com or m+r srpgs. Genre distinctions become more fluid as time progresses.

How is it different from any other FPS with mouse and keyboard?

My argument is that it's more similar to traditional srpgs tho.
Like the jumping stuff and chain attacks have more in common with disgaea.

I started Nier Automata this weekend and got through ending A. It's a shame only Alex is gonna fight for this game come GOTY time.
