It's true though. It's rapidly moving up my list of favorite games ever.

I liked chapter 2 much much more than most. I'm excited to see what they do for the rest of the series.
Sorry I don't play video games because I only watch Giant Bomb videos and argue about review scores.Nobodies?

I think I'm going to rewatch the latest MGSCanlon V episode, Drews reaction and the Sahelanthropus fight are soooo good.

Is it harder than the end of EU?
Actually, now I remembered that I breezed the last bit of EU with my sniper because snipers are ridiculous in that game.

Vinny said he wants to fuck a truck.
Brad said they had an interesting way to cover the game coming up when someone asked him for a spoiler cast on Twitter yesterday. This'll do just fine!
Well apparently I made it much harder on myself by not unlocking the last tier of weapon and armor upgrades, which the game did not tell me even existed. So perhaps I'll have to say "Fuck it" to the 3 hours or so of progress I played tonight, roll back to an earlier save and grind out the upgrades.
EU has a learning curve with the metagame, and your soldiers are a bit flimsy for a while, but once you know what you're doing and have a powered up squad, you're practically invincible.
Who doesn't.

I'm into popping a handful of truck stop molly and seeing were the long asphalt takes me.
Honestly I'm amazed you even got that far on magnetics and predator. The sectopods and andros should have been swatting you into paste. And you don't even have any psi!
That episode of the Bombcast where they talked about My Strange Addiction must have awoken something in him.
I have one psi soldier (young Jason Oestreicher) but he only has like two abilities, and neither of them are mind control. It unlocks so late, I didn't wanna just spin my wheels while he trained up.
As far getting that far, it's mostly out of patience and savescuming. Reloading to the beginning of the last turn if I moved too far and triggered enemies before I was ready, reloading knowing where enemies will be to better position my squad, etc. The game was challenging, but not unfairly so. It didn't feel like I was under-equipped. I've only seen like two sectopods in my whole run, and they can be dealt with in a turn or two if my whole squad focuses on them. Same with andromedons, never really let them get too close.
I am playing on normal difficulty, so it's probably just a combination of playing cheaply and dumb luck.
Any of y'all like Tobacco?
Thanks! I was worried after finishing the bombcast today because I was starting to feel buyers remorse. Hopefully servers stay up.

Wait, which bombcast were they talking about my strange addiction?
Twin Tails just linked the clip.

Oh. I'm on mobile so I closed it when I saw it's a YouTube link.

The first Sectopod I encountered I got the achievement to
kill it in one turn
(Playing on Rookie like a true scrub)
Codex are the worst, they always disable weapons for at least half my squad because I'm terrible with spreading out.

Oh man, can't wait to watch the ATS video when I get home.
Someone needs to splice Drew shooting the bow into this.

You can play kerbal without a mouse?
Well... I had a trackpad but it was less than ideal

Oh, damn, I dunno why I immediately thought it was some weird 360 pad implementation.

Yeah, the last fight of EU was comically easy if you had an Archangel Sniper since there was only one enemy that you needed to kill and he was chilling on an exposed platform in the middle of the room. XCOM 2's finale is considerably more difficult.
Thanks, Myggs! I've been away from this thread for a while.

What is it about baseball caps that can immediately make anyone look like a trucker?
