Playing XCOM 2, on ps4.
Don't waste your money on this game, or at least the console versions of this game.
The load times are amongst the longest I have ever seen. Expect around 2 minutes of downtime inbetween EVERY LOAD. Apparently these have recently been patched, and so 2 minute load times are a lot faster than the 10-15 MINUTES I have repeatedly seen reported.
So, I am bad at xcom, so I save a lot, and end up loading...a lot. I literally probably have over 2-3 hours of my time just in load times. Ohh, and sometimes theres a bug in which the alien turn never ends, so you have to reload and try a way around it, or fail the mission or something because you have nothing in your power to get past the bug.
FIRAXIS, you're better than this, its 20 fucking sixteen, release games in a working goddamn state. You could call me out for early adopting, but the pc game came out in february, and the console in september, it's december, they had their goddamn time to fix this hot mess.
I WILL beat this stupid game, but I will tell everybody I know that may be interested to stay the fuck away and just play enemy within, or the original ufo defense another time.
*editing to complain during a load screen*
There is an ability called phantom, the squad member remains concealed when the rest of the party is revealed. It is a ranger ability, but my sharpshooter randomly got it (building that lets classes randomly obtain other class skills), the sharpshooter has an ability called kill zone, basically a cone that he shoots everything that takes an action within. PROBLEM, during concealment, since he stays concealed...he doesnt shoot, and my squad dies.
THANKS GAME!
*placeholder, beat the game, final opinions at a later date*
Let's see. GREAT GAME...in a shitty package?
Game breaking bugs + no joke the longest loading times ive ever seen in my life + a horrible port severely tarnish the excellent gameplay underneath.
I can only recommend this game if you are going to play it on pc, maybe 2-3 years in the future when either official patches clean it up, or unofficial patches clean it up.
But I beat it on ps4, im done, my experience with this version was negative enough where I have no desire to play xcom 2 again.
