roryokane Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Incense is definitely key. Would recommend anointing your cogitator casing with sacred oils too.

Mechanicus Tech-Support Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 ...the incense and dial-up, but of course! In all seriousness I did try the GoG version ages ago with my old PC but it had sooo many issues. Even after I got it running by adjusting the cultist las pistol in the files and fiddling with some windows settings I found that one of the later maps was corrupted and would crash it immediately I may head to GoG and give it another go, tinkering with it will be ample penance for missing the incense and modem noises. roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370543-chaos-gate-daemonhunters/page/4/#findComment-5747978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timberley Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 From that brief trailer, it does look like it's channelling serious amounts of XCom 2, which is good. However, it does look like it's got the idea of Chaos Gate behind it. Overall, I'm quietly relieved, but graphically it does look a little bit like an upgraded mobile game, which is irksome... Hopefully it can be modded for some hi-res stuff. roryokane 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370543-chaos-gate-daemonhunters/page/4/#findComment-5748094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cactus Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I just watched the trailer and I'm very interested now. Kicking through a wall and pushing a stone pillar onto an enemy both look like a lot of fun.

If this isn't going to have random chance to hit then that is a major upside for me (the frequency with which you seem to miss 90%+ shots being one of my only bugbears with XCOM). If I wanted a chance to just completely fluff my turn by missing my attacks I'd just play tabletop 40k.

Subtleknife Posted October 21, 2021 Share Posted October 21, 2021 My interest is increasing with each video which can only be a good thing for me. Not going to get hyped though until we see more substantial gameplay segments and previews/reviews are released.

The AI cheats in Xcom normal and up, thats why your misses are more pronounced at 90% when you are actually at a normal stat range for missing. Also confirmation bias, you are remembering the misses more than the hits. Cheating AI and confirmation bias has just made it look unfair to your hit rate which is not nerfed. The AI needs to cheat in games like this because the human is smarter. No one wants to spend the money making an AI for vidya that more mimicks a human, so they cheat with buffed hidden stats, free/ ghost units , recourses, ignore penalties/ game mechanics etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/370543-chaos-gate-daemonhunters/page/4/#findComment-5756238 Share on other sites More sharing options...
