Yeti Streams OpenXCOM: XCOM Files Mega Mod part 1

ATTENTION: Some parts of this playthrough are currently BLOCKED in most of the world due to music copyright claims. I'm doing what I can about it, but it'll be a slow process. Sincere apologies.

Oh no, this mechanic is too unfair, the game is too hard, i'll turn it off !

...what a coward.

You can custom the base setup at start in options before the start of a game - and the game has been improved these past 3 years - maybe do another play through?

lol "The Kludge" = Taurus Judge.

I revel in the thought of that red dawn gangster sharing a prison block with a straight up humanoid owl.

The forst time i played this i bought a second car just to get more stuff done

The first two XCOM games (UFO defense and TFTD) are tied with Jagged Alliance 2 for my favorite games of all time. My background with them is backwards from Yeti's I had a PC Gamer disk with an "extended demo" of UFO Defense, never even knew about TFTD until after I played Apocalypse.

How do I adjust the damage scale from 0-200% to 50-150% in X-Files? I know you figured it out later.

Loving the insanity of the playthrough btw. LOL

toycar.jpg is not amused

Dunning-Kruger effect

alright... this lets play gona take some time to finish watching :D

Suggestion: Play X-Com Files (XCF) and then Play X-Com Piratez. The former is this stream. The latter is the "continuation" 600 years in the future if the war has been lost.

Update: watching this series in 2021, and the playlist is actually 91 videos long! Looking forward to digging in to this gradually over time throughout the remainder of 2021!

How were you able to turn off the Cqc? pretend im 5 years old mentally. i googled but none of the top results and slight digging lead me to the right direction then stumbled on your videos passively and you shown me its possible.

Terror From the Deep was my first XCOM experience as well. Played it to death before I managed to find a copy of the first XCOM, which in Europe is called UFO: Enemy Unknown. So for the longest time, I referred to the first game as UFO, and the second game as XCOM.

"Wood Wall"

It's a fence, Yeti...

Cqc is the best system

What always makes me annoyed but also laugh at these games is the situation they put the initial soldiers in.

"You need to fight supernatural creatures, aliens and god knows what else. Here, take this 9mm pistol, a tazer and a few stun grenades. You'll have to buy ammo on the way there"

To really pull off an Australian accent you need to shorten Australia to Straya when you say it.

This might be a bit late to help out Yeti, but for anyone else trying out the mod, be aware that a 0 doesn't necessarily mean a low roll. It can also mean the shot was completely absorbed by armor. A lot of enemies in early game XCF have armor and resistances to kinetic weapons. Modding your game to the TFTD damage scale can seriously fuck you over, as those 200% rolls are sometimes the only way to hurt something.

That also means you need to check the "stats for nerds" on most weapons. Some might offer you a higher damage, but have a penalty against armor. Armor penetration is often more important than raw damage. The counterpart to that is with armor types: resistance% is a lot more important than raw armor.

i hate how he is afraid of everything he wont even finish his first turn in 90% of the battles he just runs lmao

I was honestly yelling at him in my head to look at all the weapon stats like the crossy

I came here because of Ben&Lewis's xcom series, I have an itch to scratch

God damn he retreats from like every mission, understandable though if he didnt he'd probably have a huge casualty rate. Haven't seem xcom files before so prob the norm

why is he always talking about dogs and zombies like dags and zambies? i dont understand

where to disable close quarter combat? I dont see the option

Whats wrong with E-town, I live there? No body wants to say the whole name all the time. Also yeah, Louisville's name sucks.

a buddy of mine recommended your channel. and especially this playthrough. im in. just ehm.. some hours to catch up

Can’t wait to catch up on this series after TFTD wraps up. Might just start it now to scratch my itch for XCOM between TFTD episodes though!

Good luck with this mod pack! It’s super long and I’ve never gotten more than 40 hours in before quitting hahaha. You’re the best of us, Yeti!

X-Com Files is easily my favorite openXcom TC mod. I love how it starts you out as The Men In Black driving around in shady vans investigating urban myths and weird pop culture shit. Then aliens show up in the mid game like 'Yea, lol surprise btw it was us all along. Now you're fucked.' Modern X-Coms are great, but they only dream about having as much depth and style as X-Com Files. So much awesome stuff about it, really glad you're LPing it Yeti, this is gonna be amazing.

These videos seem really short!

It's unlikely you''ll respond to this but how did you add TFTD damage rolls mod to XCOM files? I tried to copy and paste the TFTD damage mod that comes with OpenXcom into the user/mods folder but it doesn't show up as an option I can enable.

How did you disable the close quarters blow crap? I just had my agent just blow his team mate's head off when I went in for a shot gun blast, but some EXALT dude made him do a 360 and shoot his friend.

In over two decades of playing this game, or watching others play... I just now noticed Mythos/MicroProse incorrectly calls ammo magazines "clips".

Oh boy, we're gonna be here for a while.

Honestly I love that sort of start. Maybe it's just me but even in original UFO: Enemy Unknown I preferred the early game where there are only the small scout ufos around.

I agree that the game you played with your wife was most likely Dungeons 3. War for the Overworld is another similar title and they're both based on the good old Dungeon Keeper franchise.

They loaded a live shambler in there crown vic in the middle of nowhere in the artic LOL

Im sorry for my incompetence but i seem to have miss the name of this mod?

What is this thing they call a crossbow?
No idea but the guy also had these 3 pointy stick, do you think both can be related?

Finally, a good way to spend my new lockdown life

Hey yeti! Wondering how you disabled Close Combat as its been really annoying me and I'd like to as well.

I love these 5 hour stream vods, especially when its xcom! i hope to see more!

these older x-com games would be super fun as an SCP conversion.

I really wish the guys from OpenXcom would remaster/modernize the UI, but I have no idea if its even possible to change it! I play PirateZ for 100s of hours, but how many of those hours were spent goin from menu to menu? When u have 30 soldiers, all with diferent equipement, on 8 different bases, with 6 diferent aircrafts...
