Titus Plays Xcom 2

Titus · Post Post #0 (isolation #0) » Wed Jan 20, 2016 7:12 pm

I'm going play xcom 2 when it comes out Feburary 5th.

If you want to be in my character pool, you can pick options in the customization and I will add you in there and you'll have a chance in my game.

Edit: I have new DLC which add new options, so I revised a few a bit.

I make you one of the agents in the character pool. You have a random chance to appear in my game of XCom as a scientist, engineer or soldier I control or a VIP or rescue or murder. I should probably put a trailer up so people know what Xcom is.

You can pick even exact countries. There's a lot.

ty.
The way characters will be introduced is that I will be setting the game to pool only meaning characters from the pool will be drawn first.

If I set exact classes, y'all might not show up as rookies but xcom so has a mechanic for picking classes.

So the first few soldiers to appear may not get their preferred class. I apologize if RNG gods do that.

Titus · Post Post #52 (isolation #23) » Thu Feb 04, 2016 6:25 am

Errant will appear as a VIP. I cannot rig it as just a scientist but I can as scientist or engineer.

It's a little slow. Reduce AA and Vsync. It helps a lot.

Feel free to submit a character and I will make you.

Hey Gamma. you don't have your armor pattern you want because of the fact I had already launched the game before you did that request. When Gamma gets to be a high enough level, you will get your pattern.
Errant your image will come out later. It's hard to take a picture of the engineer so I'd have to go back to the character pool.

He just snagged a few.

Animorpher was real badass on this latest one. 4 of them gathered on the roof. He launched a grenade causing the roof to collapse killing two and leaving two others gravely wounded. The rest were cleaned up by overwatch.

It is unbearably low. You can't hear it at all.

I kinda relied on it for context. Either I can rerecord the whole audio, or I can play a new game where I know more of what I'm doing.

I don't mind.

Just wanted to explain any delays.

Ok, change of plans. Restarting again. I got no problems with this but I think my recording software has a memory leak that is contributing to some issues. :nod: I want high quality ish videos. (Can't improve my annoying voice), but this will work.

The first three or so videos will function as a tutorial of sorts. They do have story related information though. :nod:

Maybe skip the tutorial the first one where our squad members aren't in and throw me in first playable mission.

That will likely bar you from being psionic. I can't pick troops until the third mission.

Yeah, we lost a few during this playthrough. Xcom is getting beat up bad. God damn codexi. We lost pirate, Mathblade, animaki, Varsoon, aeronaut, and Garmr. The last three died during the blacksite. Pepper wound up hauling Titus to the ship, barely surviving.
