95/100 GameInformer
You're constantly under the gun in XCOM 2, and the deck is often stacked against you. Firaxis' masterclass in strategy design has you second-guessing all your choices and analyzing your smallest decisions. It might sound stressful, and at times it is, but XCOM 2's battles are so compelling that it's easy to pick yourself up after defeat and jump back into the fray. Successfully navigating XCOM 2's storm of difficult choices is enough to make you feel like a true legend.

Exceptionally tough, rewarding strategy and a masterful reworking of the XCOM formula. We’ll play this forever.
93/100 IGN
It comes together brilliantly. Thanks to a new spin on the same great tactical combat, plus unpredictable maps and randomized objectives and loot, XCOM 2 is an amazing game I’ll easily put hundreds of hours into.
90/100
XCOM 2 improves on its predecessor in almost every way, and proudly stands as one of the most deeply satisfying action-strategy games currently available.
90/100 Gamespot
It's mathematical, emotional, and thoughtful all at once. It's exhilarating, even in the face of failure. It's compelling, even though we often lose. Victory is the goal, but that's just an afterthought here--it's the complex journey that counts.

Good thing my actual play translated directly into the sequel as canon. 9 minutes until I can play die a lot.

why did they do this to me

n8 lad I've put you into my game. And Dean. He looks so scared.
Same. We need to create a SLAENTer character pool.
By Moris Go To PostDidn't make it out of the soldier creator tool yet, I need help.

Just spent three hours in the character creator. Longer than I actually played the game for tonight. Oh well, need to sleep. Going to binge this weekend though.
By DY_nasty Go To PostI volunteer.
Its only right since I got so many of you killed in XCOM1.
Where should we send the .bin files?
man this game is kicking my ass in a great way...
win the battle but lose two great people to mind control and suicide grenade lol

Dean was my first soldier to get a nickname.
Laboured is my clutch sniper, no nickname yet.
Ricky got the nickname "Ahab" because he loves chasing white whales. To role-play this, I made him rush the first faceless my squad came across. He survived.

So far I've got n8, Dean, Meier, Willkiller, JesalR from SLAENT. Going to add Ricky and dc too.
I need people's full names before I can put them in tho. And I need to have a small idea of what they look like. Dems the rules.

Just call me Hassan Bae, everyone else does ;)
Beard, long dark curly hair, the fairest of skin.
I don't know what you look like, laboured. I just assumed that as a man of the law, you were blonde, with a tidy side-parting and mutton chops. Like an Admiral of the Queen's Navy.

Is character pool the creator yall are talking about? I just dove straight in to the game last night. If it is the character pool, do they shoe up in game right away?

You can set how a character appears in the game by changing the ini value in the documents.

Yeah they'll show up as a mixture with randoms. Or if you change the .ini it will exclusively use them (until they all die and then you're back to randoms).
I have a 4790k 4.0 GHz i& and a 980 Ti and I still get frame rate dips, that's with everything at max except MSAA is at 4x. There only spikes though and it runs smooth otherwise, good thing it's turn based.

Maybe MSAA x2 and turn on MFAA? What res you on?
Might also be worth trying forcing FXAA through Nvidia Inspector whilst you have MSAA x2 for more complete coverage.

Gotta give me some vague physical traits. Don't worry you can trust Laboured, as you can see above.

By Woodenpapangus Go To PostWell I am thinking about moving to Norway. The character creator makes me want this.
It's part running joke and part the fact that XCOM 2 does not recognise Denmark as a real country.
By Moris Go To PostYou can enable PMs here now lol check your profileThanks.
Thought it was only open to a few selected candidates.
