The DLC covered by the Reinforcement Pack seems to be pretty similar in how they handled XCOM EU's DLC.
"Anarchy's Children" is just cosmetics. I don't really care about this and it doesn't seem like a big deal considering how much you can customize your soldiers in the base game.
"Alien Hunters" seems to kind of be like Slingshot*10, or just Slingshot. It advertises "new gameplay", but doesn't specify that much. It says one new mission and some new armor/weapons. This feels like Enemy Within combined with Slingshot.
"Shen's Last Gift" adds a new class + stuff for that class, and a new mission/map. So almost exactly the same as Enemy Within.

Really, it just seems like we're getting two "Enemy Within" style expansion packs instead of one.

[Graknorke]

No but this is Day 1 stuff. EW was done later as an expansion.

[GiglameshDespair]

Enemy within added more than just a class.

It added Mecs and genemods and the two buildings related to them
it added two new aliens and EXALT - so a whole new mechanic and several mission types -
7 new items
6 new foundry projects, some of which all made SHIVS worth it,
it added medals
it added 20 or so new maps
Operation progeny and the fishing village missions

All of which is a tad more impressive than day 1 dlc for a class.

I'm not really impressed, firaxis.

[Neonivek]

Well, that'll show me for sharing my opinion.

Given that the previous thread name was mocking me... Welcome to the club

Don't bother complaining the rule of thumb is whenever someone does something against you, it is somehow your fault

It's not. It's more like a season pass.

Note the release dates on them.

It's almost as if the title isn't completely serious.

Did someone ask them if it was ok to mock them? Did anyone consider their feelings?

Let me translate: "It is your fault if your feelings get hurt"

Now that we skipped to that... How about we be a bit more sensitive to someone who doesn't want a parody as the thread title? I mean ok it was a joke but the person said it wasn't funny, so it isn't funny. Just a "Opps sorry, I thought I was being funny. I apologize, let me change it to something else"

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Oh god no, MetalSlimeHunt has finally become #Problematic.

[Neonivek]

Oh god no, MetalSlimeHunt has finally become #Problematic.

Not really. Just apologize, change it, and move on.

We already skipped the dumb stuff, why is this so hard?

Unless it's funny to other people, since we're suddenly so concerned with their feelings. Taking offense where none was intended is more insensitive than poking fun where none was desired.

gb2 Best Korea thread, LW.


I guess now's a great time to bitch and moan about the soldier customization from the first one being DLC/preorder despite being really goddamned baseline. You what, couldn't adjust your armor colors without it or something? Bullshit.

Anyway where's my snekdating VN.

[Neonivek]

Stop it... Just apologize, change it... and move on...

Is this rocket science?

Unless it's funny to other people, since we're suddenly so concerned with their feelings.

Were not... I just want to skip THIS ^^^

Apologize, change it, move on...

I get it, no one wants to take blame or admit a mistake happened... Fine... Then just apologize, change it, and move on.

We are affluent not heartless.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

To apologize would imply having done something wrong. Any belief that you are being targeted by wacky thread titles is all in your head, and does not reasonably represent the actions of I, MetalSlimeHunt.

In this case yeah it kinda is your fault if you choose to take offence.

It could be seen as the usual bombastic title, joking around
or
You could take it as an insult and get salty

It's not exactly cussing out your mother here. You do pretty much have to choose to get offended.

[Neonivek]

You can do everything right and still manage to do something wrong.

If I gave someone a brochette of flowers that they happened to be allergic to, something I had no way of knowing... I apologize, then next time I get them a box of chocolate.

In this case yeah it kinda is your fault if you choose to take offence.

It will ALWAYS be convenient that it is their own fault for taking offense that someone took what they said and are mocking it as a joke. but let me ask you?

Why is the joke so important? What great satire that the world must hear is this?

All this is, is once again, trying to shove ALL blame onto someone else. When all that had to be done is "Apologize, change the name, and move on".

Heck, just pick anything "I" said and mock the heck out of it. Lets skip this whole blame game and move on.

Heck if you want the joke so much, why don't you explain to the person why this is a light-hearted joke INSTEAD of "Ohh your just trying to get offended". Why not show that it isn't mocking but rather telling a joke inspired by what they said instead of going "Well I could have said your mothers so fat"

HECK "I" would have moved the heck on. Yet APPERANTLY just pointing it out that you guys would immediately dog pile on anyone that was offended (accurately mind you) got me sucked in... because you guys are very predictable... and I would have even dropped it now... but it is kind of personal now for an unrelated reason and if I have to pay for a single post... I might as well take it all the way...

That's the problem. You can't just skip the part where we actually discuss whether something should happen because you want to skip to the part where it happens. The discussion is the functioning part of that.

All of which applies at least as well to you as to MSH. Admit you made a mistake, apologize to MSH, and move on. Why is the joke so important? What great shame must the world not bear witness to?

Nobody's attacking you but you still feel attacked. That's a bigger issue than MSH attacking you, even if he was.
