XCOM 2 Angry Review 

My soldier is so badass that when I told him to jump through a window, the window broke before he got there.

Lol with mods you can probably customize your stormtrooper better in this game than in battlefront.

Has 99.9% hit chance. Misses everything and the entire squad dies. *THAT'S XCOM BABY!*

The next game should be about a full-fledged human invasion of an alien world. Payback, bitches!

Do Angry Joe vs TB XCOM multiplayer again! :D

Fuck yeah, i was just starting to get bored. Now im good for 24 minutes

downloaded clone trooper armor and voice mod made Delta Squad kicked ass through the entire game Sev died on the last mission, won anyway. 10/10 closest we're getting to Republic Commando 2

First time XCOM player. I started on Ironman mode. I still visit the wall every day.

I'm calling it now, end of March - The division angry review - YOU DON FUCKED IT UP

Last time i came this early she left :(

A sequel that improves on the original?!? In this day in age, that's almost unheard of!

May you 5% always crit and your 95% always miss

The reason that Firaxis and 2K decided that we lost the war is they looked at the numbers and I think the number was roughly 65% of people lost the campaign on their first attempt. So yeah while we all did beat it at some point it's a fair assessment to say that Commander's world wide let the council down.

Damn you Joe... I tried playing xcom enemy unknown because you seemed very enthusiastic about this franchise... Now I'm extremely addicted.

He was right. Five years later and XCom 2 is easily a 10/10 game.

I would never want to play a stormtrooper full conversion. The accuracy values would always be 0!

You coulda used your sniper's pistol for that 51% shot, it woulda been damn near 100%

Guess that confirms that we won't see the top ten controversies of 2015.

Wait... An angry review? I thought this channel was "AngryJoeLivestreams" nice to see what got me subscribed in the first place.

Spends half an hour designing the coolest character just to have that rookie immediately die. RIP Leroy "Redbull" Jenkins

since i'm early time to make a joke I called my ex yesterday...call it xcom

It's a real *tragedy* that this game is not on consoles...

The Mods in XCOM 2 are beautiful, never before have I been able to unite Sergeant Johnson, Cole Train, Sanic and Darth Vader in the same squad alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger and Finny Two The Legend.

I would love to play an XCOM2 campaign, as the aliens... Deciding which scanner missions I wanted to fight them in, tracking them down, etc.

Wow, weak. 8/10 for a constantly crashing game?Stop giving them a pass. Every game that comes out nowadays is unplayable at launch.

How ... how did this happen? The sequel to a remake to a reboot ... And it''s actually GREAT O_O

Joe, if you don't review every single game that comes out, every day, for the rest of your RU-vid career, I'm unsubscribing! WARNING: SATIRE! For those Angry Joe fans who don't know what the word means, it's basically parody. -_-

I'm still playing this game in 2021! One of the best game of all time! I got this game based on this very video many years ago! Thank you Joe!

Warhammer 40k total conversion mod? Please?

Literally got the game just because of this man, almost 190 hours later not disappointed.

Angry Joe you should do a XCOM: War of The Chosen Angry Review!

THE AYY LMAOS ARE COMING! THE AYY LMAOS ARE COMING!

So next review will be in 4 months i miss old ANgry Joe he did tons of reviews before now it is just 2 to 6 a year

"You want me to go in there?!?!" -Angry Joe I don't think I've ever heard him scared before...

The timer in XCOM 2 is 50/50, It's great because everytime it pops up, I am tense as hell so I try not to lose anyone, but I hate it because it feels awkward.

"Hear that music Joe? That means you're all coming back alive" Start of the video, *BANG!* 'Command, all XCOM operatives are dead.' So are we going to get an XCOM2 multiplayer AngryJoe Vs. Totalbiscuit?

Shit. I've never been this early. I don't know what to say. Yay, I guess?

An honest review from Joe but it lacks funny acting and costumes. Just too "plain".

Anyone else here because of the PS Plus June lineup? 😃

I think Joe is one of the best game reviewers out there. He does very detailed and funny reviews that speak to me as a gamer. I watch his reviews when I want reaction and gameplay footage. Thanks Joe.

Yup, just, put spoilers for the final mission in your video with zero warning. That's nice.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who constantly saving and loading 😒🎮

Joe we lost the war because a majority of people lost their first game through the previous XCOM.

In the next game i would put in branching storyline, weapons/abilities with status effects (burn damage, freeze, electrify, bleed, infestation, poison, stun, weaken), more psionic effects and items/abilities that can cure those effects. I would also create more environment hazards with different effects like exploding power cells, rupturing gas cilinders, tearing up power lines, breaking liquid nitrogen tanks, etc. I would take the story to Mars where humans have discovered an alien foothold and promtly assemble a planetary invasion force to stomp out the alien martian bases. This time humanbity would go on the offensive hunting down the alien presence. Fighting in low gravity could be a fun new twist. Also infiltrating alien bases and sabotaging them in different ways or having various mission objectives like defend for x minutes, destroy x device, hack x computer, steal x technology, etc. Heck they could even introduce stealth missions with stealth or melee weapons that would not alert enemies. There are so many posibilities in XCOM 3 that it boggles the mind. I just hope i will see some of these mechanics introduced.

Anyone else noticed how much more effort was Joe putting in his old reviews compared to the new ones?

Save scum? Ironman mode, bitches!

5 years of waiting totally worth it, i borough XCOM 2 for 4 dollars 😉

for some reason unkown i get scared to shit whilst playing this game in story mode, so i have had to teake a breake

Man i hate timed missions

Joe: "But!" Dark figure: "Oh yeas, in the butt..." Hilarious... :D

Nah, after restarting 8 times in a row on ironman, I finally beat it. Didn't even touch non-ironman.

takes 5 minutes for me to load a mission 2 min to get back from it i love xcom but this makes it unplayable for me why havent they patched it???!

I had the most cinematic moment in Xcom 2. I had one soldier left for Evac and 2 enemies overwatching the evac. I had no option but to test my luck. I ran to the Evac The first soldier hit me down to one health and I thanked god that my character didn't die, I then remembered that there was a second guy as the camera switched to him. He missed I made it to evac with my final girl and I beat the mission.

Damn, sucks that you had to take that song out of the video, one of my favorite parts lol.

It's strange. My game pratically never crashed.

15:05 DONT KILL JOE! DONT KILL JOE!! IM GONNA RUN

Missing a 100% shot put this game down for me

Xcom and Divinty : original sin are best ❤️ P.S : i executed King Archon with one shot of shotgun , it was awesome

Getting released to Nintendo Switch in May. Looking forward to this as I’ve never played it before.

I STILL play the old original xcom from 1994 ! Still an amazing game. still super addictive. So glad they restored the glory for a new generation of gamers. Xcom and Battlefront (2005) my all time fav games

Can I just say how much I love the fact that the main base for this game is a friggin' helicarrier AND that they named it "The Avenger"?

This game has worst hit rates then fire emblem!

20:14 That's some Classical Joe reaction right there, kind of missed that :D

Playing it late 2023 and this 2024. Still buggy but enjoyable. Playing the WOTC one

wheres the top 10 contraversies of 2015 video??

Who is here after the PS PLUS june games where announced?

Wait is this an actual review...holy shit?!

Sad to report but I finally got around to beating this last night, and it crashed on me for the final cutscene...the bugs have never been taken care of dude.

gahddamn you ppl are fast

I dunno, Joe. I feel like the timer mechanic (in mission) adds unnecessary difficulty to the game. I just started playing the console version that released a few days ago for Xbox One, and I've failed quite a few timed missions so far, in the beginning of the game. It's pretty frustrating. Just today I had to hack a terminal and I only had 8 turns to do so. Even on full dash it took almost half that time just to get there, then there were so many enemies -- including the first appearance of mechs -- that I lost three of my five guys; likewise they were my highest promoted. That play through is gutted at this point, and I was playing on Easy for the first play through. I cannot imagine XCOM 2 on Commander, or whatever the "Impossible" equivalent is. Even with the Conceal mechanic this is insanely difficult, almost to the point of not being fun. I love the rest of the game, though. The customization, even without mods, is amazing. I spent the first hour just customizing characters and writing a little bio for them. It was really cool. Combat is as amazing as the first game, with many improvements. It kind of surprises me that you don't appear to know why the developers chose to go with the resistance story for 2. I mean, from what I understand, most play throughs of XCOM: EU were failures, due to the difficulty, and so that became the canon ending.

XCOM 2 is also the best Star Wars tactical game ever thanks to mods.

LONG WAR 2 IS OUT!

It’s on sale for $15 right now, should I buy it?

I know this could be potentially sacrilegious to most X-COM fans, but I would hope that in X-COM 3 they could add-in an Alien campaign. I want to be the invaders taking over the planet fighting the X-COM soldiers. Could be interesting.

Of course it's buggy... PC gaming.

I finally beat the game AJ/Crew and the game was badass!💪🏽 I only had 4 or 5 game crashes on PS4 so I saved a lot after the second crash because I was paranoid 😂 and the game has frame rate issues when some of the levels have heavy 🔥 and smoke everywhere on PS4. But still I ❤️ this badass game. 8.5/10.

XCOM 2 has stopped working...... this is one of those moment's that prove a PC isn't always that good. You always get games crashing or not working on a PC than you ever do on a console -_-

*WHERE ARE THE REVIEWS?!?!?!*

Long War 2 is the mod the turned XCOM 2 to a 10/10 game. I'd be very interested to see an Angry Joe review of Long War 2, or even the original Long War mod for Enemy Within.

This was such a good game. I thought the Avatar Clock would be a huge problems but realized there were covert assignments to reduce that. What I really hated was the Fatigue meter... only qualm I have with the game, how they get more tired as a friggin Colonel?? Overall: 9/10 game, totally worth buying off steam for those of you late to the game as I was.

One thing I miss tho, from Xcom EW, is the base assault. We have the Defend Avenger mini mission but that base assault in EU is more frightening and interesting.

i dont typically like these types of games but this review was still good

The game has no horror element ?! Obviously you've never been in situation with only one alive soldier between 2 andromedons

STILL playing this game years in. Bloody LOVE it!

A Terminator game in the genre of Xcom will be amazing.

late!

the game is great, but one thing i wish they would fix, the enemy being able to shoot through solid objects, like walls, cars, big metal crates, etc. its really frusrating to think you are totally covered, only for the enemy to shoot through 2 walls and kill you

XCOM 2 is like the original Deus Ex game: everytime it is mentioned somewhere, someone will reinstall it.

keeps crashing on my PC, so annoying cos i'm loving it so far. I'm playing in borderless window which has made it more stable but its still a nightmare.

This is exactly why I uninstalled the game. I was one foot from an enemy with an 85% hit chance yet still missed. Good thing it was a $10 sale.

I still play first one on my phone in 2020 ...now on switch baby

- XCOM 2: Metascore: 88/100. Userscore: 7.6/10.

God bless Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼ZIMBABWE 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼

20:14 At least it wasn't after you completed a Moderate/Difficult mission with a Flawless

So out of all games he played, The Witcher, Dragon Age, Skyrim, Fallout, etc this is his favorite franchise?

this game I think could work as a pen and paper gameboard

Miss a 95% shot? Ha! Come back when you've missed a 99% shot like I did during the first phase of the last mission. Sure, I reloaded a save because I don't have to take a bite out of that bullshit sandwich, but still. 99%.

Angry Joe the Lady Killer

Damn Joe, finally the review and it is awesome as ever. Now people won't whine anymore you can chill out!

This game is only fun when you are winning
