It can be relaxing to play on your second or third playthrough. That's the part I find most interesting, making the best of a bad situation and minimising risk in a situation it can't be entirely mitigated. So if an Archon shows up with a bunch of ADVENT troopers, often the best course of action is to take out the troopers and then focus fire the Archon the next turn.īut even with an understanding of what enemies will do, things can quickly go south if you accidentally trigger multiple pods and don't have enough actions and/or resources to respond to everything. Annoying but does no damage on the enemy turn. Super dangerous.īut if you just leave them alone and avoid them having a flank on anyone, they'll just use Blazing Pinions. Battle Frenzy triggers when they take damage and they get an extra action point on their turn. You do get an understanding of the threat each enemy poses and predicting what they'll do.įor example Archons are a pain if you hurt them and then let them get a turn. If they see 2 or more soldiers bunched up, they will spit poison, so you can avoid grouping up your soldiers (unless you have a medkit so your soldiers are immune, in which case you prefer they do that instead of shooting you). They will want to hug anyone who is right next to them, which you can exploit if needed. Vipers are not anything you want to ignore, but again sometimes you can abuse their AI. There are always specific situations that can change things, but once you know how they act (will always try psychic powers unless they have a flank shot), you can understand more about what the real threats are. But if you had left a random trooper alive, there is always a chance it will shoot you through cover and injure or kill you. You see one and think "special abilities, more hitpoints, looks cooler, that's my priority".īut - what happens if the turn ends and the sectoid is still alive? It will try to mind control one of your soldiers or make a zombie, which is bad - but you can just flashbang it next turn and your soldier is instantly back to normal, or the zombie will die. The trick is that the sectoid seems way more dangerous than it really is. GOTY editions are all said and good, but don't make us buy them just to buy new content.You are half right - yes, you do want to take out the most dangerous enemy first. I hope you are working on Terror from the Deep, but don't do it like this again. Side note to Firaxis: I am a little disappointed in you.
I would recommend this to anyone who hasn't played the game yet, but if you do, don't bother with XCOM: Enemy Unknown. If it had been a DLC, I would have scored it a 8.5 out of 10, but since it was released as a package, I have to grade it the way I see it on the whole. But at the very least I will say, yet again, I still liked it. however it looks like Firaxis either was lazy or playing it too safe to change anything that actually needed changing. Overall: I was a bit disappointed as I had expect some more prominent additions to the main campaign. While I get that it includes new features that affect core gameplay, it still could have been a DLC, or at least given the option Again, I reiterate, I still thought XCOM: Enemy Within was very good, but just doesn't offer enough extra content to warrant a re-release. or Dragon's Dogma & Dark Arisen Same problem, but at least VP:TIP & DD:DA had significant additions that did revolutionize the gameplay. This kind of reminds me of Viva Pinata & Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise. If I had waited a year, I could have gotten the exact same game, and saved allot of money.
After buying XCOM: Enemy Unknown last year and ALL the DLCs that have come out since, this copy made me feel a little cheated. XCOM: Enemy Within is nothing more than a Game of the Year edition, just with exclusive content added.
Only the EXALT mission do give it a bit of fresh air, but the focus is to little and it's over far too quickly. All campaign missions play out exactly the same, regardless of the content. If anything the additional content feels tacked on, and really does not give you a feeling of playing something different. The additional content is very good but adds very little to the existing campaign. The additional content is very good but adds very little to the existing As a DLC this would have been perfect.
