@Heil68 Full size atx case doesn't really fit in your setup too well unless you just place it next on the ground, so it would be either long ass cables from where ever your pc is located or steamlink(caps you at 1080p/60fps tho) or getting a small case, I have my living room media-pc in this https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy/ it does obviously restrict your options. Personally I've been quite happy with steamlink so far as my main pc is in a different room all together.
The last one was criticized for favoring slow passive play, so they changed that. Obviously that doesn't please everyone, but like stated before there's a mod for increasing/removing turn timers.
-I don't care for the turn countdown. It often necessitates you use each soldiers full movement range per, which usually brings them the the edge of what's currently visible and I've often surprised enemies. What's so bad about allowing the player to move forward and use bounding overwatch at their own pace? This is a game about strategy and tactics, and putting people under pressure is not smart decision. I wouldn't mind a FEW in reasonable context of the narrative, but here the game feels like it's me making up excuses to put in countdowns whenever it can. I've had missions where I've only had eight or nine turns....ridiculous. This annoys me so much that I may end up waiting for a mod until it's removed or the dev hopefully makes it optional.
I also don't care for the art style and atmosphere. The environments are far too synthetic and bright in nature....they don't feel organic enough. The OG Xcom had an extremely foreboding feel....the music when you didn't know where the aliens were was fantastic. As it is now, everything is boring to look at and lacks any sort of tension. Still good strategy, but missing the personality.
There's already a mod out on the steam workshop for turn timers? Each for their own, I find removing them to make the game too easy
I beat ironman commander yesterday and yes the optimization is atrocious, pretty sure my fps hit single digits on certain spots on the last mission, that's with 980ti.
Game itself is great, better than the first new one imo
And people, you are not supposed to hit all your shots on the first missions, they are rookie soldiers... you are not supposed to sit behind covers and trade shot with the aliens, you are supposed to make the odds favor you, use flanks, use grenades.
