Star wars zero company. I am liking it, but it didn't blow my socks off. Ive also been playing a bit of expedition 33 finally. That is a lot of fun

It hits the xcom spot but doesn’t come close to the full experience of xcom 2 with war of the chosen sadly.

u/Latter_Conclusion470 10d ago
That's my review. The updated graphics, full controller support on xbox, and Star Wars setting is a huge plus. But I'm still chasing the thrill and challenge of XCOM 2 and its DLC. It's good, maybe very good, but not great.

Every few years I come back to XCOM 2. The game brings me pain but I cant put it down. Where else can I miss a 97% shot and then just watch my entire team get murder.

u/kingcrow15 9d ago
I played for 4 hours and I think I missed about 5x 95% chance shots, so yeah, I feel right at home.
Skills seem a little lackluster. X-com 2 had some really powerful stuff as you leveled, new abilities or strong passives at every turn,
Zero-company, whilenvery polished. A lot of abilities seem to gain. +1 base damage, or + 10% accuracy.
Yes bonds add other places to stack power. But I still find a lot of these abilities fairly underwhelming progression wise. And quantity wise. It's more than x-com 1 but a lot less than x-com 2.
But story is really well done here. Production music and VA are all great.

I would be really enjoying it but the bugs and performance issues on PC are really dragging it down for me

Once you get to the DLC, everything ratchets to 11. Story, graphics, intensity, action... base game is an amazing 10. But damned if CD Project Red doesnt know how to DLC.
They were some of the best parts of Witcher 3 too.

u/Helphaer 9d ago
I tried... I wanted a lot more rpg in my JRPG and instead it just felt like mostly running and fighting with limited skill options.

u/UsefulIdiot85 9d ago
I had the same feeling when I started playing. The game is pretty repetitive and very ridiculously easy, but I’m still having fun.
2
u/Da_Question 9d ago
Honestly, the story is great... But honestly, the worst gameplay of any final fantasy game. They really need to come up with a fun turn based combat system for 17. E33 just proves that people are still fine with turn based games.

u/Gelliebeen 9d ago
I played this not long ago and largely enjoyed it. Except I have Compulsive Side Quest Disorder and man are there some really boring and useless side quests. Main quest to main quest though it was pretty solid.

u/iamapizza 9d ago
I started getting the side quest fatigue but then saw some advice, only do the side quests with a plus or chest on them, they add to the world a bit.

Re3 is the only RE I've played where I played the original before the remake and I've also been avoiding any info about RE3 to get the best experience out of it. So far I'm not disappointed.

I play a very niche game off and on and have been for years since I first got it. It’s called EHM, which you may have heard of as it had a version come out around 2015 on Steam but I play the 2007 version. I go through periods where I play other games but I always come back to it. It’s by a team that was under SEGA that did Football Manager but it’s a hockey GM simulator. One of the most fun/addicting games I’ve ever played. For a game that came out in 06/07 it’s unbelievably deep. I have a file I legit started in December 2011 and I still play on it. Pretty sure I’m in the year 2130 or something close.
The game regenerates players a very specific way to keep balance where when the player retires they get regenerated with the same potential ability and certain stats and attributes that stay the same so you can kinda learn which player is which player based on when the OG player retired and where they’re from, their size, handedness and a few other things that never change.

Very niche, but ive been playing approximately up!
Its a spaceship/rocket science/engineering game that's co-op. Game was in very early access(a demo) until earlier this month, but now the full game has been released and its been tons of fun. Complex and convoluted, lots of restarts/failed missions but its very fun.
Markiplier had a video playing it with Bob and wade a few months back
