X-Com 2 - Announced

Still on my first play as I want to check out all the research/etc so I know what's going to be worth aiming for on subsequent plays. Seen the avatar timer twice and currently knocked it down to about half the blocks.

Is there always another blacksite somewhere to take the bar down a notch or 2 or do they get a bit thin on the ground after a while, forcing you to advance the main story? I've gotten... 80% of the areas contacted and hit about 6 blacksites and... the storm place but don't know of any more (got the... gatey type place available too - avoiding it as that's likely to advance the story).
 
Spoiler alert!!! Not everyone has gotten to the final mission yet :mad:

Seriously though the suggestions about what AVATAR turns out to be aren't particularly surprising - but please be careful not to reveal anything more than has already been hinted at (unless inside spoiler tags)
 
As said above its not much of a spoiler. Main story is pretty straight forward and guessable from the beginning, no plot twists to speak of.

However....

My God. The final cutscene before the end credits. Now thats *big* news. I've waited sooo long for a remake of that. Sooo want right now :D

I imagine Terror from the deep could be an add-on a year down the line, much like Enemy Within was an add-on to Enemy Unknown.
 
Gameplay wise - definitely worth getting.

I've not had any bad bugs myself. I have noticed that the performance seems to have gotten worse since the update. AI turns seem to take much longer and seem very jerky, although overall framerate has improved slightly.
 
Been playing this fine for a couple of days, but just fired it up today and I just get "XCOM 2 has stopped working" after I click "PLAY" on the launcher. Haven't changed anything :/ Verified the game cache with Steam and still no joy.

So what's the consensus from OCUKers? Worth getting or wait on it dropping in price and getting a few bug fixes?

Definitely get it, it's very good. The bugs are minor and while they would be a problem in a FPS, it's not as much of an issue here. I think this is a great game, great fun, challenging and so immersive.
 
Arrggh, just had a bug on my Ironman Commander run.

I hacked a tower which gave increased my squad dodge to 33 for 2x turns and my Hacker bloke started taking damage until he died and then my sniper panicked.

What the?
