XCOM is a very serious game that takes itself very seriously. It is totally a very serious situation and requires players who take everything that happens super seriously. It in no way is secretly a meme generator and a rip-roaring good time. I love this goddamn series.
@@bigslurpee2078 Well what is so funny about Air pods ? Because other than the fact you look stupid with these plastic junks in the ears, I don't get the joke. Also I seriously highly doubt I'm the only one who doesn't get the joke. People recognize it because some dudes repeat the joke but that doesn't make it funny.
I always was infuriated and thought it was stupid that if a trooper panics they suddenly decide blasting their allies’s heads apart is a good idea. I’m not sure how plausible stuff like that is, but I suck enough without my jackass rookie seeing another rookie die then coming to the conclusion that the only answer is to score a critical on a Colonel right next to him who was the only one capable of killing a berserker that was about to bear down on both of them. Needless to the say a “misplaced” rocket found him before the berserker did.
And this is why not many people play tabletop or games that aren't railroaded. You do realise that they're not taking turns either and it's just a gameplay mechanic, right? They haven't decided to kill your colonel, they're just panicking and shooting at any sign of movement they see in peripheral vision, going for the one closest and thus most dangerous to them.
In the ORIGINAL (1994) game a panicked soldier would use all of their time units to shoot randomly, often resulting in friendly fire. It was part of the charm & I think the "panicked" behaviour was MEANT to recreate it, but it just doesn't convey the same feel. The limitations of the "simplified" simulation :P It just requires a bit more suspension of disbelief!
@@DmGray You'll have that suspension of disbelief until someone primes a grenade and then aims it, straight-up aims it, at some of his own squad. At that point, suspension of disbelief goes out the window and I call bullshit. I can do it for the shots on a close ally because of the peripheral movement and proximity thing with guns or even a sword, but not for explosives. If I've learned anything, it's that the panic evidently can't be very realistic because the behavior of the panicked person makes it look very clearly like they're acting as a temporary enemy to send a cascade of bad down on you rather than actually acting in panic. They will literally run to flank your own guys for maximum chance of doing damage, gain distance from their own allies and then chuck a grenade between them: that's not panic, that's betrayal.
As the world burns due to the ineptitude of the commander, a lone soldier stands on a hill, moves the mouthpiece of his bugle to his lips, and plays taps with a resonance that circles the globe. He lowers his horn, salutes, and as a lone tear streaks down his cheek, he whispers a single syllable into the winds of a dying planet. "F"

Just so you know, parties to the geneva convention are still bound by it even when dealing with enemies that did not sign it. That being said, I doubt human rights apply to non-humans.
That's not true at all. Most countries that have signed the conventions still abide by them even when their opponents are not party to them. Furthermore even against enemies that are signatories there are several provisions that if broken, free the other country from abiding by the conventions. For example - if country A and country B both signed and go to war - then country B sends military forces against country A while disguised as civilians - country A no longer has to abide by the conventions.
Tbh xcom enemy within allows you to build mechs *that can use flamethrowers* so technically you can still break the geneva convention Oh noes i gave him another idea
This is REAL XCOM! Please make more videos like this! I hate walkthroughs in which the player just wins every time. Your video is REAL! Big like! And big respect for your honesty!
I'll never forget the day I quit this game I deployed the cast of Friends to a UFO crash site. When I moved them up, Joey was blindsided by a sectoid, luckily he dodged the shots fired at him. I tried to return fire with a 90% hit chance, but he missed. The sectoid returned fire and hit Joey for a critical 5 damage, causing him to panic and shoot Monica in the back, killing her instantly. The next turn, Chandler had to put Joey down and I put the game down and refuse to play it.
For the people in 2021, here is how you beat xcom: enemy unknown Step 1: dont die (luck based) Step 2: invest into MECs. Specifically equip them with the Bitch-Slapper-9000 Step 3: don’t even worry about the gene lab until later. Step 4: use the robots to bitch slap anything brave and/or stupid enough to get within 5 meters of this several ton mass of steel and pure kinetic energy and send them flying into orbit at mach 20. Step 5: miss a %99 shot with giant ass gun (because in xcom, if its not %100, its a 50/50.) Step 6: doesn’t matter this thing is a literal tank. Step 7: just fucking rush them Step 8: falcon punch that alien motherfucker Step 9: win. Its that easy (if you are insanely lucky.)
My starting four squad team in any Xcom game is always the A Team. Hannibal, Face, Murdock and B. A. Baracus make up my team and if one of them dies I reload the mission. When the squad start increase I start adding in the T800, Rambo, Rocky, Snake Pliskin, Solid Snake and the likes making it the weirdest action Crossover ever or maybe just a well done Expendables sequel. There are probably going to be a few fast and furious characters thrown about in there as well.
13:22 : oh... you missed me : uhh... are you actually not seeing the hit percentage or you just play it quickly without looking around first ?? *facepalm MISSED
While graphics in the new version is a tremendous improvement, I still regret not being able to pick up objects left on the ground by another member squad (when killed or when he/She tosses it) or a killed alien. The possibility to shoot on an obstacle to take it down is also suppressed.
While I vastly prefer the new games due to the improvement of both gameplay (imo) and user friendliness I definitely miss actually sending a small army every mission, it's just an idea that I love so much, it makes it feel like an actual war
