Quoting: TheSyldat

Quoting: 14Is XCOM 2 decently better than XCOM? I mostly liked the original, but not enough to lose a few hours of play so that I could load a save from several hours back in order to fix some bad decisions.

If you have the first DLC there is a mutator that allows for more forgiving RNG , and for more forgiving mission unlocks RNG in regards of how poorly you'll plan your base construction and developement. So if that's what you meant and are after yeah X-COM 2 + DLC is a clear bump in a more welcoming experience to the new comer.

Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks. See, I love Fire Emblem games but base building in XCOM was not a fun part of the strategy for me.

Quoting: daishordWith me new to Paradox titles - are there any "must have" DLCs I should buy while it's cheapish on gog? Or is the naked Stellaris fine for getting an impression?

Naked is a great first impression. :D You don't need any DLC to have a great game. That said, my favorite DLC is Synthetic Dawn because I really like the droid race, and I also like Utopia for the mega structures. I'll reiterate that the DLC is not required until you are ready for some changes.

Quoting: TheRiddickMaybe people should make sure they can afford kids before having them also? :)

Not like the planet is running out of people anytime soon is it?

Don't be an asshole. What is wrong with you? Dogpile on a guy because he has kids and therefore doesn't spend as much money on toys as you? You are a sad creature.

This game makes me want to play EVE Online. Can anyone compare?

I tried this out today. I followed the instructions on Lutris and everything worked first try! I didn't have the small window problem that Liam did. I got 100+ FPS on Ultra and was 17-0 my first match! I can't believe this is possible now.

I don't understand why a group of people that willingly choose to be in a 1-2% minority would develop an entitled and demanding attitude. It is our choice to play on the underdog platform. Man up and create reasons to deserve respect.

You have to buy it first, huh? Eh, I'll wait.

I came in here thinking, "Alright, what's this Total War game. I probably am not going to care this time." And then I watched the trailer. It's a really well-done trailer! A little bit of drama background and then gameplay with explanation. Sounds very cool now.

$5 upgrade to a remastered edition? That's a good deal I think.

Thanks for tracking the release and issues. This is on my wish list and saw that it released today; was hoping there would be some info here on how it ran. I will wait for the game to work!
