Let's Play UFO: Extraterrestrials! Now on attempt 1!

Re: Mission #1

The troops. First two are missing, I can add them later for historical sake. One of them was a true patriot. Claw got the Tank because of the order he happened to volunteer.

Hell, yeah! I'm a machine!

Claw fires one of his two rockets at him taking out half the wall.

That's the first alien rocketed by Claw.

First blood! I'm a killing machine!

Die, humans! Oh, wai..

Bad news. During enemy turn seven or eight shots go toward Whiskey/Beth. Whiskey is shot unconscious, meanwhile Claw who went ahead to try to shoot that Sectoid is hit from out of the darkness and destroyed.

I'm.. dead?

This is a disgrace!

Lost the Skyranger but things cost less so I could buy a new one + troops.

Research:

Recognize this?

The game crashes on transition to Tactical. Don't know if it's because of FRAPS (the old one minimized the game on taking a screenshot) or because I changed the resolution.

To be continued.

The sensor bomb looks eerily like Fallout's dynamite, which is particularly odd since other items have a very futuristic look.

Also, fix the damn double post?

 

[SuicideBunny]

you playing with swarms on? meh.

The sensor bomb looks eerily like Fallout's dynamite

that's because it is. it's a modded item.

I've read a review and as I take it the difficulty is dumbed down NWN2 style?
You lose all your squad only when everybody dies and even if at least one of the team members survives at the end of the mission - everyone appears to be alive afterwards.
True/False?

In vanilla game, yes. B-Man's mod allows to change it back to X-Com style.

Alright! Grumpy-looking, 5 o'clock shadow, and a rocket launcher! I look like someone ready to wreak some mayhem, pissed off by having to get up early and shoot scalies even though I'm still hung over..

 

[MaskedMartyr]

I should mention that bman's mod has a bug in the latest version that he never fixed, and another dude picked up the mod and fixed all the shit. I'm trying to remember what its called right now.

Here you go. I think it mostly has to do with ethereals from xcom being buggy.

So how much X-Com this game is with B-Man's mod? A worthy successor or just a worthy follower? I'm much interested in X-Com type games right now.
How is AI, can you destruct much?

My avatar looks just like me --- if I was a chick with '70's hair.

Odds are I die first, after a jealous Jennifer Anniston finds out I was boffing her boyfriend, and pushes me in front of the tank on exiting the transport.

En Taro Adun.

[oldschool]

I want to be an hero, too. Semper Fi and stuff.
