I gave up and just followed a progression guide. Being forced to lose because of enemy units you have no control of showing up is bullshit.

glad im not the only person that thinks this. vanilla xcom 2 is a much better game than excom 2 with wotc installed. but it's weird because i think the expansion is very high quality and adds a lot of good gameplay. but vanilla xcom 2 was just more fun to play

So it's not just me then? I played this for the first time a few months ago, got this with all the DLC installed and the game just felt off. I went in blind and had no idea how the game was supposed to be, and I enjoyed Enemy Unknown.
Also unless I'm being a retard, it seems insanely hard to the point I'm underpowered. I didn't have this issue with Enemy Unknown it seemed reasonably balanced if not a bit too easy.

Is it best to play vanilla Xcom2 then?

it dilutes the feeling of being a guerilla warfare army that vanilla xcom2 had set up so well. makes it feel more like power rangers or some shit

i would strongly recommend playing vanilla xcom 2 fully before wotc

This but xcom 1.
>game encourages you to save your squad members and send them on as many missions as possible, so through promotions and barracks upgrades your team becomes stronger.
>you naturally start sending out the same six people to farm promotions.
>you know what, actually fuck you

Game is fine otherwise

I adore this game, but the clutch claw was so forced it almost killed the game for me

Long War of the Chosen is one of the funniest mods I've ever played

> updates the base game in incredible ways
> it's so fucking good and addicting
> every single new element introduced by war of the chosen sucks ass and it's obvious the mod devs don't care about integrating it properly

I'm pretty sure the Long War devs imploded before WoTC even released.

Xcom2 makes the game less fun by default because it forces you to rush missions while still giving you a ton of those 99% miss situations.
Dogshit game for dice roll brainlets.

Whatever happened to this franchise, btw?
Xcom 2 wasnt a flop, if i remember well. Why did it just disappear?

The chosen are only scary on the very first retaliation. Beyond that, the only one that presents an active threat is the assassin, who will gank one of your guys at some point if you don't manage to catch her out before then. The hunter is a nonissue and the warlock is merely annoying at worst.

Instead of making the TFD remake they were planning to do, they got forced to make some capeshit which involved heavy meddling from Disney. The result sold like shit and destroyed the morale of the team.

They've tried to subvert it with that one XCOM hero game a few years back with good aliens and bad xenophobic humans, and I think it wasn't successful. They'll try again in 5-10 years with some remake where they'll try to push the same shit, mark my words.

Marvel's Midnight Suns happened, most of the devs and artists were either let go or pushed out due to various things happening from Suns, didn't help that Suns effectively flopped despite being a licensed title

XCOM 3 in one form or another has been in production at some point given the nvidia leak (which turned out to be accurate), what's happened to it at this point is anybody's guess. A lot of key people behind XCOM 2 left after or even during the making of Midnight Suns, which flopped, and now Civ 7 bombed so even more people were let go from Firaxis. It's dead in the water currently I'd guess.

Anybody got xcom 2 on their phone? I want it but reviews say it crashes a lot.

>chosen ones get obnoxious missions and are also written like a gang of Marvel supervillains
>ayyyys change from being a mysterious hostile alien invasion force into being capeshit threat which is repulsed by the Commander going Super Saiyan in the final map

Xcom2 is the point where you could sort of tell they really wanted to make a superhero game, not a military game.
