Let's Replay X-COM UFO Defence #27: Cleaning up the Mess

[@3rdworldvictimyouvebeenlie817]

Such an awesome episode! The final hunt had me at the edge of my seat, literally!

[@K-o-R]

8:50, for about a tenth of a second, you see it hit Awesome Possum. _"'Tis but a scratch."_

[@Kikoskia]

I suspected as much, but it's always good to have it confirmed.

[@GenuineLolotov]

I personally prefer using Smooth Bullet Camera, so that you don't have issues with impacts being displayed in the very corner of the screen or for only a few frames.

[@K-o-R]

I wonder how feasible an "action feed" would be ("Sectoid shoots | Awesome Possum is hit for 25HP and 2 Fatal Wounds")?

[@NiceMicroTV]

Wow, those aliens are getting more and more sneaky! Also, they finally used a grenade, even though their throwing accuracy seems to be worse than horrible.

[@JamesRevan]

Aliens behind the ship: - Hey Frank, wouldn't it be funny if we just went outside and did nothing for like, I don't know, 20 minutes?

[@Kikoskia]

It was the best of strategies and by best, I mean worst.

[@George-nn8ui]

I guess they were waiting to be picked up or repairs.

[@kulrigalestout]

Awright! A triple feature this Sunday!

[@cronoros]

Three videos? This is a good innovation

[@hellofranky99]

I thought you would have at least tried to capture the last few.

[@emilysong2000]

Millie under alien mind control...it's a good thing she didn't try to shoot her fellow squad members. Was it because her gun had the safety on, preventing her from gunning down everybody? XD

[@BirdRaiserE]

Holy cow subzero just popped those first two aliens right in the head. Talk about stone cold!

[@eirianrobotto]

Looking forward to something more difficult / challenging.

[@feeder9421]

loving this series

[@Ixnatifual]

The alien ship door opening sound seems to be the same sound lifts use in Doom.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Because it is. That's a stock SFX. Pretty good SFX too!

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Sectoids with grenades are always unpleasant. Maybe ineffective sometimes, but still nasty.

[@robikz]

When mind controlling sectoids come, it's a Stun Rod bum-rush for me, no matter if soldiers die in the process. Grab the Sectoid Leader alive, and the game becomes unlosable after the next 2 months.

[@George-nn8ui]

Too bad he doesn't have the hyperwave decoder in time, today I followed a snakeman supply ship, it tells you were they will be going even. Then there the alien base was found. Once the large supply ship landed I launched a landing attack then later I can take the base down.

[@hostagecrisis]

if everyone could stop trying to stun bomb Millie, that'd be grand!

[@ToonamiAftermath]

Looking forward to Ethereals.

[@wishcraft4u2]

Actually I just immediately sack soldiers with less than 40 bravery, if I can at all afford it. Which according to me is for most of the game.

[@BahamutZerodragon]

wait... aliens don't do rescue missions on their own ships? thats odd kind of.

[@dr_kav2k]

Considering that crash sites disappear after a few days, one can imagine that eventually they are picked up if left to their devices.

[@BahamutZerodragon]

ah okay that makes sense.

[@BahamutZerodragon]

well i would assume that they ended up getting into fights with each other eventually or other humans.

[@BahamutZerodragon]

i would have laughed if the alien went to fight each other. that would be a nice thing to add in.

[@DragDenDFO]

I am kinda curious how did the aliens were able to mind control your soldier? If I remember correctly, they need to see at least one of your soldiers to be able to use mind control.

[@3rdworldvictimyouvebeenlie817]

2yrs later, have you found out how they did it?
