>Get ♥♥♥♥♥♥ because vanilla XCOM2's crit/hit chance <= 20% are the same roll and whenever enemy hits you he crits you, ESPECIALLY if you're behind the full cover, meaning that hiding behind one is a gamble and overall you're better off with no cover at all, which is the most counter-intuitive decision I've ever seen in my life

TLDR: Somehow worse game design choices comparing to the original XCOM from 1994.

1. Trailer's a lie (there are no rivals).
2. Barely any different from the demo.
3. Mods ban everyone with negative opinion.

Dev made millions and I'll bet my ass that he ain't hiring a second developer to fix the AI, add more content or make the game less repetitive overall. Surely this'll be made, but not anytime soon. By far we've only had one "major" update which added a pawn shop* and... 2 signs, a shelf, 2 lamps, irrevelant cosmetics and a clock. AWESOME, INNIT?

*this mechanic is very easy to create, basically 2 function calls:
Considering that this game's been in development for past... 3 years, well
I guess it'll take us a while (if ever) to see something noteworthy. Everything about it just screams "scam project" and "early access forever".
