The psi class in this is some straight up xmen shit. By far my favorite class.

It's why that DMR sniper mod looks rather interesting to me.

On this new game I started I really wanted to get to Psi Operatives early but it was just really expensive in Supplies and Energy relative to other stuff I really needed like Warden Armor and Resistance Comms. Maybe on my Legend run.

Are UFO raids in this? Being playing for a good while now, and I've yet to come across landed or crashed UFOs (latter probably because there's no interceptor combat now).
had a 'protect the device' mission where in the first turn it was shot by an andromedon which set it on fire and it blew up two turns later
You could have saved it, Commander.
They come eventually I think. Late game.
And man, do they look so much better than in XCOM 1.
Yes, I came across 2 UFO raid missions. Both late game.

Hi everyone, hope your enjoying Xcom 2 so far.
Two questions
I am rocking a solid 30 fps with some dips when the levels first load and I am using stock med settings, I have a Intel 3570k and a Geforce 660 oc. Any opinions on settings that would work best?
I was also wondering how long it is taking some of you to complete the campaign. I replayed Enemy Unknown so many times and just wanted to compare the length. Thanks for your time.

Im at a little over 40 hours and ive been delaying finishing the game for the last 2-3 of those, and I restarted my campaign too so lets call it 30 hours (on veteran)
I feel like Enemy Unknown (also on normal) was longer, maybe not.
FUCK, the final boss area of the final mission is fucking bullshit. The difficulty went WAY up. i'll need to completely restart it and try a different loadout now. Wasn't this fucking stupid in the first game.
you should totally wiki it or watch the ending on YT. worth it.

Read it. Sounds like Mass Effect 3 ending. Am I missing something?

I did two runs on commander ironman
1st took around 9-10 hours, then I fucked up my strategy layer and lost
2nd was 26-28 to beat the game
Thanks for the quick responses
Good to hear it will keep me busy!

My first run on Veteran Ironman was a little over 30 hours, although I stuck around for like 4 months because I wanted to max everything out.
Yea IDK how tb took 60 hours on a veteran playthrough
yea, i'm at the final area and my playing time is 36 hours. i basically cleared out all ADVENT buildings and got all upgrades. it's not that long unless people take it slow or fail a lot.
He has to consent to the skulljack
nah that sounds like another glitch
or they just didn't want you to do that for some reason? but why
My 35ish (shaving off about 5 from restarting) was with A LOT of padding too getting all the upgrades and every region / tower (lol). Im not knocking the game for it btw, I loved it, but yeah those 60-80 hour reports were cray-cray
It has to be a commander and maybe it cant be mind controlled?

thankfully not, it just chugs at times and lots of pauses for some actions. can't help but feel they rushed the final area out the door.
Oh. I used a stun lancer. I just won control over a random enemy so I had that bright idea. I'll just kill him lol
FYI, XCOM 2 OST vinyl available for preorder. nice cover art. $35

I had loads of issues in the final 2 missions. The last mission especially performed like shit. A little tip tho:
Bumrush the avatars. Don't clear the trash you don't have to because you will never catch up. Also mind control an Archon if you can. They have high dodge and the enemy wasted a lot of their turns trying to shoot at it. Blazing Pinions is good against enemies, too.
Woot, got around dropping my GAF-COM submission.
I'll be sure to get you all killed on my first Ironman run sometime in the future
You sure that is the trigger? I know I've bombed some of my loot-aliens to hell and back, as I've gotten the message that the loot has been destroyed, but not once have I gotten a friendly fire notice about it.

Those are annoying. They pop up when the alien you're targeting has loot.
Like fuck off game, I dont care about the shitty scope it might have, that sectopod is going to shoot my face off, please let me bomb it back to Mars

Ended the final mission on a crit fan fire from my gunslinger sharpshooter. Hell yes. Took me 24 hours to beat on Veteran.
Yes, mods carry over when you upgrade weapons.
the blacksite will scale in strength as time goes on (bcuz stronger aliens etc)
when u got 5 soldiers, plated and mag weapons i say you're good to go
u can probably do it with 5 soldiers honestly
no time limit so u can be quite safe in ur approach

My tips: Don't waste your items leading up to the boss. When you get to the last area
try to take out the Avatars on the turn that they come out. In my game, they spawned with Vipers and Mechs LOL which meant that they were orders less threatening than the other stuff that spawned. You also need to take up aggressive positions in this last part... defensive turtling will only get your squad overwhelmed

Ok I just finished the final mission, have to say I had more fun with "normal" missions instead of hmm.. oh well at least I can start a new run now. If I remember right Divinity:OS had a similar final mission which I disliked as well.
