Im going to start playing XCOM 2 guys

Im going to start playing XCOM 2 guys.

What mods should I get? I ehard that modding community is pretty active here.

Something to silence Bradford at the very least.

Okay, whats next?

skins and voicepacks is about as cool as it get unless someone released something cool while i wasn't looking

No gamechanging total overhauls ones?

I heard that "long war pack" provides additional, third line of perks for everyone and others can bring custom classes, but I dont know, which ones are balanced and which ones disable achivements.

Is there any reason to play Xcom EU now that 2 is here?

Of course. Its good and fun game.

well, I haven't finished EU and I don't own 2 yet, so now I play EU. pretty simple.

You play Enemy Unknown first silly

But doesn't 2 escentially replace it?

>total overhauls
Fanbase ain't that skillful and autistic.
Think creating those hero units is about only way you can disable achievements and everything that adds in classes/aliens will fuck with the, which was already shit, balance.

No, it's Enemy Within which pretty much replaces Enemy Unknown.

was meant for

different thematic approaches to the relationship between the humans and aliens in each game makes the combat scenarios play out differently, i.e. you are the unknown enemy in XCOM 2, but in tension in xcom EU when you're looking for the first pod isn't nearly the same in XCOM 2, etc

the real reason you should still play EU though is long war, download that and it's arguably a better game than XCOM 2

no. as he said, EW is good and fun. unlike 2.

2 have different approach. In first game, you are defending against alien invasion, in 2 you are trying to fight alien tyranny with guerilla warfare.

how the ps4 one? I played and finished game on my laptop on day one but i got 15 fps max. Or they patched it?

I didnt said that 2 is not good or fun, Im about to play it and I heard positive things about the game. I dont expect groundbreaking revelations, Im expecting next XCOM.

So, basically 90% of XCOM 2 modding is about skins and costumes?

Aside from removal of unskipable pauses like with civilian dying warning, no truly needed gameplay fixes?

>What mods should I get? I ehard that modding community is pretty active here.
Mandatory:
>Evac All
>Stop Wasting My Time

Optional:
>True Concealment
It's good, pretty balanced, and often make sense story-wise.

Then, voice pack and clothes pack and shit, yo. For the second (and more) playthrough, eventually the Long War mods.

It's more of .ini tweaking than something you find in workshop.
Though there was that case after the controller update where targeting was all wacky and someone made a mod to fix that in matter of hours/day while Firaxis took their sweet time.

>no truly needed gameplay fixes
True concealment was the most interesting one, imo. It's simple, not OP, add a layer of tactic and remove some retarded situation like:
>We, Aliens, have a secured shit here. Computer and stuff, tons of valuable stuff. Inside a bunker with turrets and shit. Guard patrolling around. We have no indication whatsoever that xcom could be here, but LET'S START A COUNTDOWN TIMER AND BLOW EVERYTHING TO SMITHEREENS AT THE END
Yes, you retards, that make perfect sense to deploy vast force of men and materials around a valuable device and BLOW IT UP for no apparent reason!

True Conceleament will make that the countdown timer is only activated when one of your squad member is spotted. Like "Shit, let's try to kill them first, but if we can't kill them, just blow the valuable stuff, better have it destroy than in the hands of these terrorist". Which make sense. Sometime the mods make a little less sense story-wise (quick, destroy this computer before the information transfer is finished) but it's better than without, and it allows you to exploit more stealth mechanism.

To add to this I'd say it's almost required depending on how much you mod stuff in or if you activate they ayy rulers.
Otherwise you're really pushing it with vanilla timers.

...

I found a mod that adds like 2 turns to default timers and "true concealment" version that works along with timer modifications. Do you think I wont push it too much? I got present in form of "Deluxe" edition, so I will have Lmao Rulers running around.

Are there any balanced new classes around or they all range from "slightly OP" to "total OP"?

Heard mixed things about 2, I was new to strategy games but loved EU, will I like 2?

Most probably, yes. Its solid sequel.

>old Bradford was pretty chill
>new PTSD Bradford screams about everything
I guess it's pottery
