I don't want to be blind.
Also that's WotC.

Blind?

I want to, but my PC is from 2011 and new GPU costs $9000

Should I bother with the first one or play this one directly ?

for lore consistency you would play the first one, lose the game, then start up the 2nd lol

No need to remind me. How significant is the performance improved in WOTC?

don't know about fps, but loading times went from 1 minute to 5 sec on ssd

They improved loading times and I got *some* fps increase but not much. Overall still doesn't feel welll optimized.

That's all I need, loading times is inconsistent in vanilla it throws me off.

I remember playing it early after release and everytime I clicked on the globe the brightness from the animation playing really got to me. It's very jarring if you do this repeatedly. Made me feel like pic related.

I remove
>shadows full to directional only - 20 fps gain just from this
>AA off
>ambient occlusion to SSAO
>depth of field off (first thing to turn off in any game)
>screen space reflections off

I can play with average 80-90 fps with everything else on the highest setting on 1440p. The only time it dips below 60 is on retaliation missions where the scene has shitloads of fire effects

it keeps crashing my PC on the final mission

Only if they bring back EXALT in some way.
I loved the little shits.

Awesome. I'll give XCOM2 a second try.

The rest of my modlist, if it interests you

should I play XCOM or Valkyria Chronicles

xcom

>Caring about FPS in a TBS game

Load times are way better in WotC tho which is very nice

Both
Phoenix Point is inspired by Valkyria Chronicles btw

Too much power creep mid to late game.
The natural tactics disappear and it becomes a shitshow.

I would but for some reason the modlauncher immediately crashes, on a fresh install too

the xcom or the community?

The one that comes with the game
is there a community-made mod-launcher or something?

These games are supposed to be played on ironman

Try buying it, or remove your shitty soundcard if you did

how can you mod and not know?

github.com/X2CommunityCore/xcom2-launcher/releases/tag/v1.2.1

also, if it still crashes, it's a GPU driver issue. you have to get inside the INI files in your documents folder and change the resolution and/or fullscreen to borderless or back

Its power creep from both sides and playing on ironman is totally irellevant to the fact the comfy shoot and move tactics transform into
>use this ridiculous combo or nuke 20 squares before they combo or nuke you back

What makes that launcher better? Aside from it working for me

I'm guessing I'm supposed to put it in the game folder?

better mod support. also lets you decide what overrides to prioritize, and solve mod conflicts (which, if you have any, will fuck up your game). always run xcom 2 through this

Long War for WOTC?

not happening

I can't seem to git gud at XCOM 2. I breeze through the first on max difficulty and even drop self-imposed limitations on myself, but something about the second one fucks me up every time.

>fps only matters in competitive esportz actino games
God damn it then why dont people just use 60 fps on their 144hz displays on a desktop? BECAUSE IT DOES MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

most everyone would agree xcom 2 is easier. if you can't realize what exactly is going wrong nobody can suggest how to improve

Obligatory complaining about cuscenes post. How they managed to make a game that is meant to be replayed and not include a 'skip dialogue' button is mind boggling. Does anybody actually care about the boring story anyway? Wow the aliens are moving people by trains so exciting, but wait, here's a 15 second cuscene of the outside of the blacksite facility because fuck you for wanting to play the game

I just installed xcom 2 and played the tutorial
>horrible performance
>game doesn't look good even on max
>can't alt-tab and keep the sound
>obnoxious american women and hollywood writing/music everywhere
please tell me it gets better

seems to me like you're going in trying to hate it
do you have wotc?

I was looking forwards to it, but it's annoying when it has a bunch of perfomance issues and starts off so blandly

no, only the base game

The zombie shit in the expansion is just a fucking boring time waste they put in to make it seem more action packed since you can kill like +50 of them a turn

first, it's not worth playing without the expansion
second, improve performance: there are graphics settings that add almost nothing and give you 15+ fps each when off

These all annoy me too but I was still intrigued enough to go on. The first one had better tone and presentation, not sure why but while the new one definately looks better, something about it is less appealing. Didn't bother me too much though, at the end of the day it was the difficulty curve that got the better of me, and now I'm just too tired to restart the game yet again.

But 7.63 high calibre with mods exits, you retard.

enemy within is the best in terms of atmosphere

so is a new expansion coming out?

I'll never forget the thirty minutes I spent with VC before uninstalling, I can't believe that's what weebs actually enjoy

I'm the opposite, beat 2 on L/I but I only beat EW on normal

Just ignore the cutscenes

I doubt it, why would they cram in even more content after wotc?

Is LW2 actually as bad as people say? Is it worth trying at least?

hey thanks for reminding me to torrent it user
