Author Topic: Xenonauts:Planetary Defense Simulator(Screw this, I'm playing Fallout instead.)  (Read 41627 times)



Xenonauts is a mix of XCOM:UFO Defense with elements from XCOM:Enemy Unknown, in a way. All HUMAN weaponry is provided free of charge, unlike the original XCOM where you had to buy your own stuff and the Council didn't give a damn about you. Old school? Meet New School.

Also civilians appear OUTSIDE of Terror Missions, occasionally ARMED with shotguns. Even on terror missions. Eat your heart out, Enemy Unknown. You don't have loving civvies outside of terror missions, or civvies with guns for that matter.




Playing on Easy mode because I am a casual console peasant going to die horribly on anything above EASY.



Jagged Alliance is a series of turn based tactics games. Think X-COM, but without the aliens invading, and much more complicated.



Making money is VERY difficult in this game according to the steam discussions. Running out of cash is very likely, probably.



This is our crappy starting base layout.



Research screen.



Research on the alien invasion has gone well. According to our research, aliens are invading, there is a drought in California, and the Armenian Genocide really happened. Please don't arrest me for "Insulting Turkishness".



There is nothing to manufacture yet. Or alien weaponry to store.



Soldier screen.



Some renaming is in order.



Time to hire more disposable meatsacks.



This is the soldier screen, if you want to see what it looks like.



There we go. Disposable meatsacks recruited and renamed, along with a picture of what the roles are.

Soldier name application

Survivors from XCOM: UFO Defense/Enemy Unknown/Enemy Within, please resubmit, as I can't remember most of your names. I don't care anymore if you died in UFO Defense/Enemy Within, even if you died you can resubmit. Yes, that includes the original 500 Memes/Steele/Iron Whale.

OLD ARCHIVE FOR UFO DEFENSE AVALIBLE AT http://imgur.com/a/Rj27F

XCOM ENEMY WITHIN ARCHIVE

GAME REFUSES TO LAUNCH-PLAYING SOMETHING ELSE

What the hell happened? We DEFEATED the alien threat at Cydonia using the power of Psi spamming. Where is my Psi Amp? Revolver? Auto cannon? Scout drone? 500 Memes? Where are all of those? And why are the graphics so much better?

Time to save the world again, I guess. I can always find out later.....




Strange things are shooting torwards earth. First contact with extraterrestrials has been made.



Unfortunately, their intentions were hostile. X-COM was established.



Buenos Aires was attacked, so naturally X-COM has to land in and KILL THEM ALL.



BEGIN START OF GAME



Second wave options are on. Marathon is one of them. Training Roulette and Not Created Equally are the other ones.



XCOM's first mission on Classic difficulty. Lets hope things don't go horribly wrong.....


What the hell is XCOM:Enemy Within? (STARTS ON PAGE 11)

Aliens invade, reverse engineer their stuff, kick their ass.

Why Enemy Within?

Because I finished playing UFO Defense.

Will you do Long War?

Yes, eventually. (Unfortunately.)


Will you play Terror From The Deep?

No. Not untill there is a OpenXCOM version of it.

Soldier Application Only required thing is soldier name.

Name: Something like Dschingis Khan, I don't care. No last name required.

Nickname: Because you will get promoted someday if you survive that long.

Preferred Gender: Male/Female/Neither/Alien/Sectoid/Thin Man/Muton/Pissalid

Preferred Nationality: forget it too much work and waiting for a randomly generated soldier to be a specific nationality.

Survivors from the old UFO Defense to carry over: Not on the list? You died on the final mission to Cydonia, probably.

Name: Talia
Preferred love: Female
Personality: Nathan Drake

Name: Lee Hanson
Personality: Ends justify the means and get the job done through the most effective means possible had a baby.
Preferred gender: Both Male
Biography, if you really care that much:

Lee Hanson was the product of rape in 1990 between Madalyn Sterling, a soldier from Texas who was discharged due to the loss of her left leg, and Christopher Hanson, a surgeon from Cambridge who graduated from Harvard University who was tasked with the recovery of Corporal Madalyn from her injuries. The motive behind the rape is unknown, as it had been noted that Christopher was a kind individual who was known to despise the prospect of death as well as any loveual assault. Despite this, Madalyn had repeatedly claimed that she had been raped by Christopher only to be ignored and eventually berated, until she had shown signs of pregnancy. A DNA test was conducted, and proved that Christopher had in fact raped Madalyn, and he was later placed under arrest, and was given 7 years in prison. Madalyn, to the surprise of the personnel of the hospital she remained in, decided against a abortion and went into labor soon after, producing a young Lee. Madalyn, having seemingly pulled through the delivery of the child, went into shock two days afterwards and passed away from unknown means. The hospital, unsure of what to do with the child, were prepared to hand him over to the nearest adoption center, until Christopher’s brother, Robert Hanson, offered to take the child and raise him with his own wife, Annalee. The hospital, being the cunts they are, handed Lee over.

Robert, unlike his older brother, lived in poorer conditions. A job that didn’t pay well, living in a area with known street gang activity, and a wife you frankly couldn’t even trust with the littlest of secrets. Never the less, Robert raised Lee as if he were his own son. And Annalee helped, albeit begrudgingly. Robert found himself attached to young Lee, and was giving more attention to him than he was his wife, which upset Annalee. The two would find themselves in numerous arguments, most of which started by Anna, which would go from debates to screaming and yelling until eventually, Robert planned to divorce Annalee and take Lee with him. Annalee caught wind of this, and devised her own plan to thwart Roberts, which led to Robert being ‘accidentally’ involved in a gas-station robbery, where he was shot and killed. Annalee now found herself with the house, car and everything, though there was one thing she still had that she didn’t want. That was Lee, of course. Annalee found herself unable to dispose of the young child as she did with her husband, and instead of arranging his death she went about scarring him mentally. Lee found himself being loveually abused by whom he considered his mother. Raped, be it by insertion into her, or insertion into him, she continued to find numerous ways to toy with the young, oblivious boy. As Lee aged, he found himself questioning the things his mother was doing to him, and as he aged he soon found out just what she was doing. She was responsible for his awkwardness and his lack of sociability, and she was the one whom never helped soothe him whenever he was bullied or mistreated by others. She was the problem in his life. And this is what sparked Lee’s hate for his mother.

Days of bottled up hate turned to weeks of barely controlled psychotic rage. And weeks to months, and months to years, but all this time he excelled in technology. Some could say he was a prodigy, and perhaps others could say he was just a nerd, but Lee found himself to blend extremely well with technology and began to get into hacking. By now in this story, Lee is 17. Lee finds himself with little to no friends, and his grades are slowly degrading as is his temperament. He’s violent, resistant, and highly spiteful. One day, Lee finds himself returning home to be lashed out on by his intoxicated mother. Having reached the end of his limited patience, he waited until she had passed out on the couch and went into the kitchen. Taking the largest kitchen knife he could, he returned, and stabbed his mother to death where she laid on the couch. At first, he was disgusted by what he did, but only moments later he found that in truth he had enjoyed it, every second of it. Quickly but efficiently cleaning himself of blood and the sort. He stripped himself of his blood stained clothes and headed into the bathroom, where he threw them into the bathtub, doused the clothes in rubbing alcohol and the sort and reduced the clothes to simple debris. Lee soon after collected necessities and abandoned home, leaving his mother's corpse to decompose and later be found by a neighbor and for the murder to begin being investigated by the local police department. Lee began to move around, avoiding the police where he can and leading them off his trail when they began to catch on, idly killing those whom he could here and there under the assumption they were those who had loveually assaulted individuals, and continuing this ‘game’ of his for two years before he was eventually caught at the age of 18 on August 9th. Taken to court, he admitted to his deeds, and went into detail about all 19 of his victims, 3 of which were unknown to the department of justice. Sentenced to 'national service', he spent a good three years in prison. Not your normal prison, this is a prison that for some reason people are kept there before they're sent off to fight martians or something. And now he's a soldier or something fighting aliens. You don't like that ending, hmm? forget you this is my story and by god I will write what I want. His grandfather is Morgan Freeman, it's canon.

Added. I'll probably start XCOM's first mission when we get 4 soldiers.


XCOM's first mission starts due to lack of interest in this topic. Added in some random names for the other soldiers.



Two UFOs showed up at the same time on our radar. Both of our interceptors were dispatched to deal with the problem.



The Skyranger was sent out to deal with the first crash site while the Interceptor was chasing down the second UFO. XCOM's first mission will begin against a small ufo with maybe two to six aliens.




Talia and Lee Hanson step out of the skyranger, rifles ready.




Alien spotted! The troops open fire, but due to their stuffty aim, miss every shot! A soldier named Rookie finally manages to get a lucky shot, striking the floating alien in the head and killing it instantly.


Lesson Learned:Never use Snap Shot or Aimed Shot, only Auto Shot because Quantity>Quality when it comes to weapons in this game. As soldiers get more experienced, they will stop spamming bullets with Auto Shot and actually AIM their weapons. At this stage of the game, Auto Shot is all that matters.


Was that seriously the only alien on that ship?

Yeah, it was a small ufo. UFO crashes on small ufos tend to either kill the entire crew, or leave 1-4 aliens alive. Aliens with better aim and reflexes.

gotta love xcom

Second ufo exploded in midair instead of crashing. Second ufo was EXTREMELY small. Think of it as a scout ufo. The twin Avalanche missiles completely blew it up. Those UFOs usually have only 1 alien crew member.

If you want to, you can submit multiple soldiers. Added.

BUNP

what are our options rn?

We need a attack dog. Nothing forgets aliens up more than dogs.

Nobody has modded in attack dogs in OpenXCOM.



New items and slaves unlucky bastards have arrived.




Laser weaponry has arrived on to the field, and now we can stop using those underpowered ballistic weapons and move on to INFINITE AMMO LASERS.

îñçŕěąśę ťħë ļāşèřś

what are our available options Right Now? can we hit the scanner right away or is there stuff to do first?

Laser Rifles are currently being researched/produced, a few days passed with no ufo activity, no stuff to do first, only wait for a UFO to show up/more disposable troops to arrive. Once the UFO shows up, we will test how effective lasers are when combined with the terrible aim of our troops.
