I've just been spending a massive amount of time planning out what recruits I'm going to make when we finally get the game.
I've got Dutch's team from Predator lined up, the cast from resident evil, an ex-member of EXALT wearing their bandana that's been shown as an option along with other originals etc etc.

Anyone else been doing that?

The fact they've expanded the scale of customization so much as well as letting you save them to your "Character Pool" and even share the characters with others is a pretty nice addition to the sequel.

Is Xcom 2 going to get anymore expansions?

>Soldiers are shown socializing with one another on the Avenger. However, this isn't just window dressing; the game actually tracks the relationships between each soldier, based on factors like how many missions they've been on together, who has healed who, shooting enemies flanking them, and carrying unconscious soldiers out of battle. It then matches those soldiers up while on the Avenger. So when you see soldiers laughing and talking in the bar or exercising together in the guerilla warfare school, it's because those soldiers have actually become Fire-Forged Friends in battle.

Is this actually a thing? Read it off of Tvtropes.
If its actually a feature built into the system that is actually pretty damn awesome, its such a hidden thing that nearly everyone is going to overlook but they did it anyway.

In a sense related to the Xcom franchise, Phoenix Point is finally coming to Steam now that Gollop has finished sucking Epic's cock for payment like a quite literal prostitute.

They are SERIOUSLY pushing costumes as a money-making tool for this marvel xcom game.

Wonder if when we'll get XCOM3 and what it'll be like, they've said they are still planning on making it even though they are working on the Marvel game at the moment.

Who are the humans even meant to be fighting at that point? Will it be a new foe entirely, something from beneath the ocean (considering that glowing light at the end of XCOM2) based on the foes from Terror from the Deep or a reboot of the aliens from Apocalypse?

Venom is an enemy in the normal game but it seems like they'll make him recruitable via DLC pack.
Now since Scarlet Witch is both an enemy and a team member in the game wonder what that means for the Hulk, since like them he's also someone who got corrupted into a henchmen by the villain of the game and is fought as a boss.

They're making little animated shorts to hype up Midnight Suns. Really seem to be going all-in in terms of building attention to this game for some reason.

Why did they switch to a much less appealing visual style for the second short they did? Was it alot cheaper?

Previews for the Firaxis marvel game are starting to come out.
It seems really weird in that it is more focused on being a Marvel story game than it is being a tactical strategy one.

Neither Marvel nor Firaxis are known for their ability to write an RPG, seems like a bad idea.

Just found out recently that XCOM has some ridiuclous low-quality phone game.
Has a bunch of nonsensically-designed original characters to gacha for.

I don't think Firaxis is ever going to get around to making XCOM3, with all the crap they are putting out instead.

>You hate to see it
Is there any good non-Xcom Xcom-style games?
Both Xenonauts and Pheonix Point ended up pretty much a disappointment, UFO: After--- was an example of a competing franchise from back but its pretty odd and janky.

There's so many franchises with gacha phone games that include OC characters to pigout for
Some of the designs are notably better or more fitting to the series style than others

Whyis there not an Xcom sort of game but set in a Fantasy-Medieval setting? Obviously the invading force is going to be something magical or from another dimensional rather than little grey men in flying saucers, but still keeping the same concept of the otherworldly threat building up while your scholars and wise-men discern the secrets of the remains you bring back letting your force grow in strength to combat it.
