Just from the staff of the Avenger, you can see you're still got your shit together. And even if you've got escaped convicts in your barracks, you're still XCOM. That's not "eccentric convict in the wilderness," that's a mask a skilled metalworker with access to tools and time and resources to spare towards making a weird mask made. I guess I'm not sure HOW Anarchy's Children is tonally dissonant. One Resistance Rumor even has a guy living in an abandoned theme park. I just think that you may be ignoring evidence that it is not, in fact, tonally dissonant for a ragtag resistance movement employing escaped convicts, iconoclasts, and weird hermits existing on the fringes of society to have somewhat unorthodox attire. It isn't like Anarchy's Children is a 3rd party mod.Īnd it's not possible for the owners of an IP to create something tonally and thematically dissonant with the rest of the work? "freaky neon cyberpunk spike helmets" would likely fall under "unscrupulous" in terms of resource useīut seriously, the creators of the game clearly beg to differ. Yeah, it's an undeveloped environment where people live in small, hidden settlements and have to be very scrupulous with their scarce resources It might not be Fury Road-level wasteland, but the Resistance Rumors tell a distinct story of a lawless, largely abandoned countryside. You have seen the Retaliation missions? The Resistance operates out of tents and the back of trucks. 90% of the planet outside the city centers is basically a Mad Max wasteland, and this lets you make soldiers who actually look like the escaped convicts, refugees, and murderhobos that their bio sections detail.ĩ0% of the planet outside the city centers is basically a Mad Max wasteland On a side note, a lot of people don't like Anarchy's Children, the costume pack. They are, at least, better than the XCOM:EU DLC that came out before Enemy Within, because they include stuff even if you don't play the story missions. I'd say that the DLC are worth it if you are looking for some variety in your XCOMming, but are not essential.
The story missions are fun and give some insight, if not resolution on the fates of the first game's tech advisors.
#XCOM 2 WAR OF THE CHOSEN SEASON PASS PATCH#
I have some hope that the mechs will be improved in a balance patch down the road. They can't currently use utility items, weapon mods, or PCS, nor can they retrain or get AWC bonuses.
#XCOM 2 WAR OF THE CHOSEN SEASON PASS FREE#
Shen's adds a somewhat overpriced and underwhelming mech class, though your first unit is free (it is either a reward for the fun, if long & grueling, story mission or for doing a 10 day Proving Ground project). It will be PC-exclusive at launch, though that could change considering its predecessor, XCOM: Enemy Unknown, was made available on both consoles and mobile devices.So, are alien hunters and shen's gift worth getting? Been playing this again recently but none of the DLC looks terribly appetizingĪluen Hunters adds four unique weapons that add some welcome variety to early game equipment selection, and the sometimes annoying boss encounters are controllable because they won't show up until you do the story mission (if you have it enabled). XCOM 2 is set to be released on February 5, 2016. Those who pre-order either version of XCOM 2 will also get the Resistance Warrior pack, which includes more customization options and an exclusive “Survivor of the Old War” soldier character. Lastly, Shen’s Last Gift will add in an entire new soldier class, a new explorable map, a new mission, new armor and weapons, and, of course, new customization options. Alien Hunters will task players with hunting down various Alien “Rulers,” and will also include more customization options and new weapons. In summer, 2016, the latter two packs will be released. The Anarchy’s Children pack, set to be released in spring, 2016, will add in new cosmetic customization options for a player’s squad of XCOM soldiers. The pass will grant access to three different post-launch DLC packs. Since the pass will cost $19.99 on its own, those who spring for the deluxe version will save themselves five bucks in the long run. The game will be available in two different versions: a standard $59.99 version and a $74.99 deluxe version which will come bundled with the newly announced season pass. Firaxis and 2K Games have offered new details about the various DLC packs which will be released for their upcoming sci-fi strategy sequel XCOM 2.
