The final nail in the coffin for story upgrades that this game needs is a better balancing act. One would think Square Enix would be more interested in showing off its gameplay rather than its text for a demo. It seems someone was thinking the opposite because the few battles in here are about an hour apart each. Hopefully the final game won’t burden players so much with too much story all at o
This mod makes swapping out squadmates the matter of two clicks instead of several, making weapon swapping almost instantaneous, and even allows brave Commanders to send out more than six soldiers at once! Stats, health, SLG advanced strategies willpower, and even skill information are all readily available without sifting through menu after menu after menu. Thank you, Robojum
One thing that would help balance out the story would be to include optional battles. In the demo there are side stories but they are just literally that, stories. Sometimes they result in a new recruit or item, but there aren’t optional battles in the volume that one would want in a demo. Final Fantasy Tactics certainly has plenty of opportunities for players to relax on the story and instead grind for loot, levels, or
There is some town exploration in the demo. However, it is truncated. Most of the time it seems players will click on a map icon in order to in initiate a battle, or a cutscene. In-between some battles or story beats intel can be gathered but these exploration moments are very brief. This lack of full exploration is common for tactical RPGs so it understandable why the full game would not add this feat
Engineers and Scientists are the most valuable rewards players can get in XCOM 2 and should be prioritized over any other. After unlocking the Black Market, it is important to check every month whether any can be purchased. These purchases cost Intel, which makes it a valuable resource in XCOM 2 . Scientists dramatically increase the speed of any research. Engineers are key to upgrade and maintain almost everything at HQ. Players should also aim to have at least one Engineer clearing debris for more rooms at all ti
Sometimes, even when everything is done right, the stars will align against the players and threaten their whole squad. When this happens, players should not hesitate to give up on the mission and safely Evac their soldiers as a free action. The consequences of failing a mission are often much less punishing than losing the best soldiers. Additionally, when making decisions that might leave a soldier exposed, such as rushing forward with a Ranger and having it miss, players should instead consider using Evac to save that soldier if it is likely they will die during the enemy’s t
Thankfully, user KongMD, also apparently fed up with the incessant interruptions, made the Narrative Control mod to silence the beloved war hero. Navigating the Avenger’s many rooms and menus will now be a quieter experience as all narrative moments are muted. KongMD also included instructions for further narrative exclusions — such as Avatar Project progress reports — but it requires some light code modification. It’s worth it, though. Players may miss out on some info referenced in Chimera Squad , but it is a small price to
A soldier with a fully loaded assault rifle could potentially attack eight times in one turn, and players would have to manually activate every attack. Thankfully, Musashi thought of all the suffering gamers out there and made this simple UI change that adds a Lost Autofire option , permanently, to the action bar. Sit back and relax as hordes of Lost are cleared out with two simple cli

Through the premise of the game alone, it’s a safe assumption that the game will have numerous ending based upon the choices the player makes throughout their playthrough. Our primary hope is that the game learns from the mistakes of a game like Mass Effect 3 , and that the numerous endings each reflect the paths that the player chose to take. While this would definitely improve replay value, it would make for a much more fulfilling ending experience, while giving each choice a player makes have more wei
Flashbang grenades will disorient enemies within a large radius. Being disoriented means a -20 penalty to Aim, -30 penalty to Will, reduced Mobility by 6, and restriction of the use of most specialized abilities. It will also cancel Overwatch, Mind Control, a Viper’s bind, and any other sustained abilities. These grenades can be extremely useful to reliably deal with dangerous effects while simultaneously debuffing multiple enem
Although the XCOM 2 expansion carries a hefty price tag, Firaxis Games justifies it with an add-on that switches around the strategy and balance of the game from to to bottom. At its core, War of the Chosen adds new player-friendly factions that have their own unique soldier classes, three of ‘The Chosen’ alien commanders that repeatedly attack the player throughout the game’s missions, a new unfriendly-to-everyone zombie force called The Lost, and strategic and interface touch-ups gal
