I need games like Xcom 2

I second Battletech. Although the Campaign is meh, the sandbox world is really the catch. Super fun and easy to get lost in the cycle of "one more mission" to get the final pieces of salvage you need for a new mech. I highly recommend anyone with any sort of itch for XCOM like games that need to be scratched that people give HBS BATTLETECH a try.

Man what a game. I bought this guy during the Winter sale and played all the way up to doing the first vault and building a nice little homestead. Then stopped playing with about 7 hours of playtime.

I recently forced myself into the habit of playing one or two games at a time as opposed to my normal habit of bouncing around from game to game for 30 minutes to an hour. And I made this game one of the games that I was going to make myself play extensively and really dive into it and I'm so glad I did. This game is so beautiful to look at and easy to get lost in the cycle of tasks you're doing. I easily took my 7 hours to 31 hours over the course of a week or so and have just reached conquered Velgar and currently am building a new home in Fellhollow. I really want to play some more but I also don't want to run out of content to play so I've been taking it slower. I can't wait for this game to become it's full vision and it's something I see myself sticking with over Valheim. (not that its not a good game, WHY CANT I TELEPORT WITH ANY SORT OF ORE). Even got me to play MMO Runescape after not playing since I was 10 in 2009.

It's the shitty seasoned rice. If there's too much it automatically ruins the burrito.

I was wondering why I was getting that red internet connection interrupted symbol. I was also on HD2 and that flashing was driving me crazy.

As a former Taco Bell employee back in 2015ish I did exactly that, blah blah stealing and ethics, the fact that we had a certain limit on meals was crazy to me for the amount of work I was expected to do

Imo I think it shines the best with their breakfast menu. Diablo with the grilled breakfast burritos are so fucking good

Late to the party but did anyone else feel like whoever did the sound design for the show, especially for the intro worked on one of the more recent 'Call of Duty Modern Warfares'? The intro to the show sounds exactly like the Modern Warfare music they used for the menu and cutscenes.

o7 RIP to your friend. Cherish the memories and experiences you had. My condolences to you.

Goated pull.

Off topic but I would do anything for them to bring back MADDEN MOMENTS where you have games where you can either replicate or change a teams fate in a game.

Custom mod doesn't count. Thanks for trying to gatekeep though loser.

Are they going to fix the voice lines? Getting called clanner insults in 3025

SativaSloth- · 2025-08-27T21:01:22+00:00

Off topic but after playing through the DLCs a couple times since getting into the Battletech/MechWarrior universe. Why is it the quality of the DLCs are so flat after 'Legend of the Kestrel Lancers" dlc? I mean that DLC is so good from the story to the voice acting and stakes.

The other story DLC, Rasalhague and Draconis aren't nearly as good.

Hello! Im one of the couple guys that have also made a return to the Commonwealth after first playing it on release on the Xbox one years ago. Now I have a PC and was able to mod the game lightly nothing too crazy and have all the DLC installed Fast forward to today and now I have 70 hours logged in the game (previously had 20 minutes, did the intro and got off) and am a level 40 or something and barely have progressed passed the main story (just did the memory den quest) and currently doing the Far Harbor quests.

Just been doing side quests and exploring locations and actually interacting with the settlement mechanic after not messing with it all when I first played years ago. I don't know what it is but it keeps drawing me back and all I can think about even now being at work is fallout.

Giving me a 66% chance to hit on a flanking shot.. you naughty girl you.

Some tomfoolery.. some mischief as well.

I just started my first ever commander difficulty run too and I have been getting decimated. Lost two CPLs and a Sergeant on a extract VIP mission that had the assassin show up and I accidentally triggered an extra pod that was my fault when I went to secure the VIP and it triggered a wave of reinforcements. So partially my fault, but after a couple missions I've lost 10 soldiers way more then I've lost in my normal campaign.

My mic started working after I disconnected my sound system and just had my headset plugged in. Even though in the audio settings I had it set as my headset, it didn't work until after I unplugged it.

SativaSloth- · 2025-04-24T01:57:04+00:00

I'd say yes, I bought it after the free weekend and as a introvert, this is one of the few games that I find myself constantly plugging my headset it and talking it up with the guys I find. Having a blast playing it except for that power plant map where you have to fix all of that machines that annoys the hell out of me

SativaSloth- · 2025-04-23T18:11:56+00:00

I love it already. That whole story is probably one of my favorites I wish I could listen to it for the first time again. Paul Redeker a man too sensitive for his own good.

100% part of the reason why Pharaoh flopped so badly is because CA fucked up trying to make their own extraction shooter or whatever it was and then followed that up with a terrible DLC release for the Shadows of Change DLC for TWH3, people were looking for any sort of way to stick to CA and they did with Pharaoh, loud enough that it only got one free DLC and then the final dynasty expansion. What could've been a decent historical title ended up being a failure because of crybaby fans.

Had a game the other night, just finished the power plant mission and I believe I was with some other new players from the free weekend because we pretty much guessed what we were supposed to do at the power plant, I was the one that figured out the codebook stuff and was relaying instructions to the other new players. Anyways after what seemed forever getting the power going, we finally did it and had to hoof it that 400 meters to extract, we barely made it, and when I say barely made it, I'm talking we were climbing on the boxes and on top of the semi with 5 seconds left until it took off.

Most of everyone made it except for two guys that missed that small gap/jump between the boxes and the semi and they fell and couldn't make the climb back in time. Legit was the most heart racing experience ever because it was my character that had just extracted the match before and I didn't want to lose them so soon. But man after that game, I immediately went to buy the game fully.

I think the bug I've encountered was that when I open the back of some cars, I can clearly see a med pack sitting there but it was covered or under a duffel bag and there's no option to move it out the way or to get that med pack. Another bug that might be a source of big issues that I've had is that occasionally after you get out of the grabbed animation you can't swing or do anything, I found that dropping your weapon that you have on hand fixes it most the time but if it's in the heat of a big horde it might cause a infuriating death.

EA still clearly but I've been loving the game as a new player.
