Let's Play X-Com UFO Defense Again 10: Terrifying Terror

[RS250Squid]

Civilians are freaking stupid. They will do everything up to and including sitting on a sectoid's head just to satisfy the need to do SOMETHING about their situation.

I'm surprised we haven't seen them trying to ride Cyberdiscs around like they're roombas or something.

[PwnZoneification]

"You might be SO INACCURATE"

Some one's forgetting Sparkle is his most accurate troop.

[leto2626]

I've played this game so much, and I still remember this : NEVER let someone shoot who has a team member somewhat in the line of fire of an alien :p

[Rydia20]

I knew you would shoot that guy, you big silly.

[Orukunak]

Gotta say, Cairo is looking surprisingly temperate...

[Amainville93]

@Orukunak In Terror From the Deep, I once saw a terror mission in Alaska. It looked like a tropical paradise. GODDAMN GLOBAL WARMING! *shakes fist*

[SpraxIAKS]

Talk about lucky. Cyberdisc in two hits? Pfft.

[Murkglow]

Stats:

"Stat increases are specific to the stat exercised: making reaction shots increases your Reactions; hitting an alien increases your Firing Accuracy, using a Psi-Amp increases your Psionic Skill; throwing objects increases your Throwing Accuracy; and not panicking despite low Morale increases your Bravery.

However, there are four "secondary stats" (Time Units, Energy, Health, and Strength) which may increase following a mission during which a soldier performs any action -- even just one."

[xcomcmdr]

That elite "alien sniper" pwned that poor civilan! He/she had no chance against Alien Chuck Norris. O_O

[SimsKatie]

But clearly, if we wipe out all plant life on this planet and reduce it to a barren rock, the aliens will have no further reason to conquer Earth and will just fly away. This plan cannot fail!

[Psych0Mikey]

@SteelShrike: Absolutely right. Hope Kiko read that.

[Lonesoldier123]

Horaay! More X-com!

I watched your Antarctic and Pacific Challenges. Im happy to see you continuing your X-com let's plays.

[Max27588]

I sure am glad you don't have to pay for property damage....

"Errrrrrrrrrr yeah, Aliens did it, honest!"

[leafbarrett]

You DO know that Drake's healed, right...?

[hereticjack]

your x-com shows are my favorite. This is my thank you - I thank you.

[LordPayne]

The comedy of that alien shooting the civilian from across the map... oh my goodness, I nearly died laughing.

[BaggyZ]

@LordPayne I was the same way. I mean, what are the odds of the alien missing everyone else and hitting a civilian in the dark?

[LordPayne]

@BaggyZ If we quantified them, it'd probably seem even funnier... time to not suck at maths AWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

[Seveleniumus]

I believe you improve psionic strength by using Psi-Amps.

[canebro1]

"Let's see if we can take him out"

*Joey shoots team mate*

"Le sigh...."

[thedragonb0y]

Why do you avoid using Aimed shots when you want more accuracy?

Especially when they only need one hit to kill?

[Bloodlyshiva]

@thedragonb0y Spraying via Snap/Auto Shot has better odds than Aimed Shot, due to the massive TU cost of Aimed Shot. And a one-shot isn't always possible, even with Laser.

[Thisismyfirstopinion]

My word Yvel is a killing force to be reckoned with (never thought id see the day). Wow this terror mission seems more terrorfying for the sectoids than for x-com agents

[GodOfPlague]

One of them One of us at least Joey is fair.

[corebore100]

Great hustle on those cyber disks.

[ESFAndy011]

5:16 Gotta wonder if he was aiming for the soldier or the soldier.

Epic fai--WIN situation.

[IRJ53I]

they could become squaddies or corpses...

[SteelShrike]

Actually, there's no way to increase psi strength in the game. Psi strength determines resistance to psi attack as well as effectiveness in executing their own attacks. Psi skill I believe helps also with succeeding in psi attacks and can be increased, but it doesn't help with resisting attacks.

In other words, if one of your soldiers is constantly being mind controlled, there's no hope for him. Unfortunately, those soldiers usually end up being your commanders. :P

[LouisdeFuines]

This second weapon is absolutely nonsens because the laser rifle does all the job.

[Melkayar]

6:34

"Well, there goes your park...."

LOL'ed. Cyberdisks are that mean when they explodes. The good thing is if they catch a sectoid in the blast radius, he'll die as well. =P

[Zylo587]

5:24 The shot flies off and kill a civilian.

You killed Kenny!

[DLAlucard]

If you think Malkil is bad, I saw a lets play were a Mr Gumby actually made it to flying armor if i remember rightly. If you know Monty Python that will make you laugh Kikoskia

[aaronrex]

awesome game, awesome LPer, awesome LP :D

[Bajamamut]

The Cyberdiscs (by Sony?) are really accurate and really terrible...

6:64 Bacatta (Baccata? Baccatta?) hates flora and fauna, aparently XD

[HuntrBlackLuna]

I dunno about that friendly fire incident, Kiko. You're sometimes cocky with your lines of fire but that one was especially bad.

[MrMekune]

The problem with you putting grenades, medikits, pistols and rifles on EVERYONE is it limits your time units immensely. Also as someone said in a previous video, you need to rate people off their accuracy and their hit points over bravery since bravery only takes place if you start to lose men or people get wounded.

Also reloading after an accident in which someone didnt die? Low blow man. Low blow.

[Xirbtt]

@MrMekune No good sir. I think the reload was because someone DID die. Watch again.

[MrMekune]

@Xirbtt

There was no yell. The guuy was knocked out/wounded. There was no death.

[blaatybla]

@MrMekune

He did yell, actually. So the guy did indeed die.

Also dead or not, it is still Kiko who decides when to reload. And he did so in a most sportsman-like way.

[PandaTaim]

I can't believe how Cairo changed since the last time I went there. Actually they managed to look a lot like Japan

[Templayer]

Ressurect the old Sub Zero ! By renaming one of the new soldiers N00b Saibot !!

Pretty please :<

[Xirbtt]

@Templayer Don't do it! Noob Saibot is silly and uncool.

[Templayer]

@Xirbtt

HE WAS THE GREATEST EASTER EGG EVEEEEER !!! :-F

Also - Ermac, Smoke, (Subzero+Scorpion are already there in the squad), CHameleon, Sektor, Cyrax, Reptile, Rain ........ the grandmaster guy (from DotR) an Lin Kuei Assassin that could change to various animals ..... pretty please get these names in !!

BTW - TOBIAS BOON (NOOB SAIBOT) THE SHADOW LIN KUEI FTW

[GodOfPlague]

@Templayer we need a Hugo as well that guy was awesome.

[Dragonwing5]

@Templayer He has to have a quan chi first

[Templayer]

@Dragonwing5

OR MEAT !! That would be .... true name for Kikoskia's soldier. =)

[Dragonwing5]

@Templayer Meat was that even anyones name in mortal kombat?

[Templayer]

@Dragonwing5

Yes, in the fourth one and Armageddon. Maybe even in Deception as a secret, I don't remember.

ALso Mokap (Motion Kapture Guy :D )

[TheXLink]

Haha love the start of the terror mission, one alien appers to take a leak on that fence and another alien is peeking into a window, both unaware that a big transport aircraft loaded with troops landed just behind them XD

[BrawnX]

@TheXLink

And then there was that other one waiting at the door to sell the house's resedents some Sectoid Scout cookies...

[jtd786]

Bacatta missed his true calling as a gardener.

[Greatdictator]

11:34 '' It knows im theeeerrreee''

Is it just me or does that sound like that ought to be a quote from a movie cause kiko made it sound funny yet creepy at the same time XD

[bryan8259]

I just noticed the explosions are skulls

[bryan8259]

Your dudes have two hands, why not just equip both weapons to a hand? Or does that hurt your rifle accuracy and just not tell you in the game anywhere?

[Kikoskia]

@bryan8259 Reduces accuracy if you a thing in each hand.

[bryan8259]

@Kikoskia Ah so I'm playing it wrong with my dudes keeping a grenade handy... takes so much TU to swap items around that by the time youre ready to throw the thing your target has either left or killed your dude

[skyrmish]

@bryan8259 It only hurts accuracy if you have a two-handed weapon in one hand, like a laser rifle. If you want to keep a grenade in one hand, you could have a laser pistol in the other.

[TCGroudon]

@Kikoskia As I understand it, the soldiers use the Pistol weapons one-handed like morons. So you can safely give them, say, a Grenade in their other hand.

[ukstubbs]

@Kikoskia i believe once a psylab trains your dudes there resistance increases

[ElMariachi99]

@Kikoskia but you shouldn't really be giving them both laser pistols and riffles. It's pointless because both have unlimited ammo and your soldiers will spend more TUs everytime they move because of the weight.

[FPSSteel]

@Kikoskia If you have pistols whoever, you can equip a grenade on the other hand without damaging your accuracy, but pistols are useless late game.

[Murkglow]

@bryan8259

Rifles are two handed (obviously) and as such having a weapon in your other hand would ruin your accuracy. Pistols (being one handed) however can have other things in hand (like grenades or medkits) and still have fine accuracy.

[Dreadborn]

Yeah, aliens logic. "Oh, those people pose a threat to me. They can 1-shot kill me. But screw it, let's have fun and kill unarmed civilians."

[Bloodlyshiva]

@Dreadborn On the other hand they can kill you with one hit, and with far better accuracy and power. And their grenades are massively powerful. Plus, there's infinity of them. In other words, they're entitled.

[emilysong2000]

So much suspense and humor...Kiko sure makes the best X-Com videos in existence, doesn't he?

[sp0nge1337]

They're running out of the house because that sectoid PROVED that inside is not much safer...
