Why XCOM 2 is going to be huge for modders

PCgamer:

On a small stage, tucked away in a corner of the Baltimore Convention Center, four members of the XCOM 2 development team are talking to the Firaxicon crowd about modding. Specifically, they're talking about The Long War. "I do not know how they were able to do what they did," says Jake Solomon, lead designer of XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2. "I know how," says XCOM 2 lead engineer Ryan McFall, "and it's kind of scary."

The 5 best games on PlayStation Plus Premium that make subscribing worth it

The PS5 is an incredible console, and if you're lucky enough to have one, or have just received one for Christmas then you'll already know there is a host of great games out there.

What you may not be aware of is that if you subscribe to PlayStation Plus Extra or Premium, you'll actually get access to a huge catalogue of titles to play at any time. Many of which you can stream without having to do any downloads. If you have a PlayStation Portal you could even play these titles from your bed.

Damn the only one I’ve played so far is Miles Morales, although I do own Control and Rift Apart.

ChasterMies109d ago

Odd list. Where is Horizon Forbidden West? Ghost of Tsushima? Demon’s Souls? Returnal? And fun indie games like Superliminal? Where’s “A Plage Tale Requiem” and “Evil West”, the current PS+ Essential offerings?

Evil west is underrated I'm having a really good time playing it.

juniorpop109d ago

Like seriously? Those are games Extra Tier can get - so not worth upgrading to Premium

Honestly game was a real pleasant surpise. I dont even like marvel like that, but I loved the gameplay. Really fun and addicting, sad to see the game just didnt do well.

SurgicalMenace364d ago

Yeah over 100 hours of play from me and I enjoyed every minute. Hope it gets the support that it deserves.

CrimsonWing69364d ago

I really loved it. It sucks it didn’t do well.

I actually want a sequel badly.

MasterChief3624364d ago

Did it inspire you to get more into Marvel at all? I know when I played Ultimate Alliance 3, I wasn't that into Marvel, but I enjoyed the heck out of it. I enjoyed it so much that I ended up seeking out lots of Marvel comics that the movies didn't touch on much yet! I was wondering if something similar happened for you after playing and falling in love with this one?

shinoff2183364d ago

I'm still looking forward to it. I have yet to buy I but I do plan to. I'm a huge xcom fan and I feel this will hit the spot. Card base battles is a bit of a turn off but I feel they could pull it off.

hotnickles364d ago

It was great until the DLC trophies bugged out and they never fixed it. I beat the game twice and then they wanted me to beat it another 4 times for the dlc trophies. That was pretty lame and I moved on.

shinoff2183364d ago

Maybe I should wait till dlc is done then lol. Damn

hotnickles364d ago

Yeah it’s a great game though it’s just that one issue. The dlc characters are thrown in the middle of the story and if you have already beat the game the trophies won’t unlock. You have start a new game for each dlc character lol. That’s not fun after you spend a ton of time building your decks.

The price tanked like 2 months after launch. It was bad. Wait for the last dlc and then get the complete version for 20 bucks. I recommend it. I will probably play it again someday with all of the dlc.

InUrFoxHole364d ago

Waiting for the right sales price for this one.

Bigninja364d ago

Imagine X-Com 2, with Marvel characters and powers.

Yeah, would have rather had that
