![XCOM EnemyUnknown [Bad Ending]](/img/n.gif)
That final struggle with the Elders was so anime that I seriously expected the team to blabber on about how they believe in you
Pierce the heavens, Commander! For great justice!
Also, they did the believe in you scene when you were going in.
+Beatie G It looked exactly like a kamehameha exchange from dragonball
All it was missing was a raising arms to the sky scene. You already have every single of your soldiers saluting the Great Commandy One as he marches up to the portal on the way in.
In the end fireaxis made a great game with mostly positive scores and positive reviews.
Good gameplay, great rebellious story, great customization and great mods.
Clearly the game is not perfect but it is a really good game and very worth the price.
Start of XCOM 3: "xcom never made it past conventional weaponry-"
~We have high-end plasma, beam, and alien-metal based weaponry....It's a shame none of it works underwater, and all our scientists took their work with them on vacation~
+Ryan Gibson worked in Terror. ..

Christ I hope they don't remake that godawful ocean XCOM.
It might be an element of XCOM 3 but the developer of the remakes said he didn't like it either. Perhaps it is only part of the next installment and the focus might be on something similar.
3:10 they cant move because its not their turn yet
Lmfao 🤣
They didn't go into overwatch at the end of their turn
I like how the aliens dominated the earth for 20 years but then the commander comes back and they lose everything in just a few months.
1. They were using the commander to train wargames and battle simulations, so they were really hindered losing him.
2. The commander is that much of a badass.
@@federicocaputo9966 If the commander is such a badass, then why did they lost in the first XCOM? If this was a historical Chinese novel then they wouldn't have saved the commander to reinstate him, but to behead him.
@@Chraan why did they lose? have you played the first game in impossible? i don't blame him
@@lorenzomaiolani1160 Yes I did, XCOM is not that hard. Iron Man Impossible in Long War or the classic X-Com Enemy Unknown without reloading though.... Those are sick.
@@Chraan bro i'm stuck with normal ironman impossible, i don't even want to imagine the hours spent and the deep knowledge of everything for the rest of the things you said
When I saw that flag go up I was like:
"For the Epic Voice Guy."
Yeah he hella daed.
Sergeant Arch Dornan You never see his body. ;)
Sergeant Arch Dornan search spokesman death scene, 1st comment
so five bucks say that the remake of terror from the deep will be the new X-com 3
If that's true, I'll buy you that game!
+firem78910 DLC maybe?
+xshot01 (Pento The Rabbit) I don't think that it will be DLC
I thought they were setting up for giant robot fights like in pacific rim.
+firem78910 Just wait for the new "Long War" version first to play it again ... (personally I would love a Steampunk mod where the soldiers are "dapper gentlemen" and the technology is transformed to use lots of brass pipes ... which could end in a Lovecraftian next game) ... before asking for the next game.
2:27 Use cover you fools! It increases your defense by 20%! Look at the guy in the left! He´s doing it right!
Besides that they are brave as **** for using tier 1 weapons
They're trying to get the Who Needs Tygan? mission.
Shane Angus highly trained? You mean the one that missed point blank shot?
Look, idgaf about the ending.All I want to know is if the Commander got my FUCKING SOLDIERS OUT OF THERE
+PacManAction I know!! godamn, I'm not even sure he winned. I mean blue flash as the commander comes back to the avenger with no mind harm at all? bullshit! they totally capture hm again, And now all my family, friends and girlfriend are going to comeback as an avatar in x-com 3 :c
+PacManAction I NEED TO KNOW IF MY MEN AND WOMEN LIVED!!!!!! ONE OF THEM WAS ON THE VERGE OF BLEEDING OUT!
+Connor Purdue I can assure you that no soldiers were harmed during this gameplay...
+Zionic hahaha thanks mate that puts my mind at ease
We are losing soldiers left and right, PacMan!
"It will follow you as it followed us! You are not ready." True. We may not be ready but hey. . . We weren't ready for you and we still won in the end. Humanity is too stubborn to just give up, we don't give up until we win. We're stupid that way.
"But they're giant behemots from outer space" Do we look like we give a fuck. HUMANITY INVICTA

Gonna be honest, I only watched it here because of the shitty desync that everyone seems to be getting.
+OverworldLord yeah game crashed right at the end ... hopefully they fix it soon.
ben5056 It crashes too? The problem I had was that the game paused the video while it loaded, but continued playing the audio. I have had your same problem in XCOM:EW, though, so it's probably related.
OverworldLord for me it crashes after I kill the last Avatar and have the commander hold the gate open
+OverworldLord I was down to one avatar remaining to kill and he just despawned and left me with neverending enemies...so i said fuck it
***** I know what you're talking about, I had that same problem as well. I tried reloading saves, nothing changed. It kept happening until I rebooted the whole game. Come on, Firaxis, what are you doing?
that scene with the advent troopers being surrounded by resistance members puts three words in my mouth "Vigilo Confido, Bitches"
Bottas Heimfe Damn Right!!👍👍
F*cken hoah
Vigilo Confido!
Gotta feel bad for the guys who grab ADVENT weapons though. Those kill non-ADVENT who try to use them.
@@naggie6358 Poor rebels.
End of the first game: "something is coming, we have done this to create a army to fight it, to make you ready to fight it."
End of the second game: "something is coming, we much stop it, at all cost."
Third game... what's coming finally comes?
Reapers!
Personally, I'm betting something like the aliens from Xcom Apocalypse, i.e. Poppers, Skeletoids, Multiworms. Oh, and Brainsuckers
Terror from the Deep, of course.
I bet xcom 3 is going to end with us throwing the elders into a volcano in an attempt to kill what refuses to die
@@quentincoetzee4313 transdumensional aliens from apocalypse, but coming terror from the deep style
The commander being an ethereal is just mind blowing...
I lost my one and only soldier on this mission, but he took almost 10 of them with him and saved the world love this game
I lost my One Man Army Ranger Wannabe to the last Avatar.
It had lvl 3 bond with an Advance Mag, Full Soulreaper, Talon Rounds, full ammo, at high ground Reaper...
She entered Rage and killed 5 mutons, 1 Avatar at the spot lol
Brace yourselves for the return of "Commander is Asaru" theories.
Hm, lets think. quick warning: I don't exactly know everything about Asaru despite having played XCOM declassified like 50 hecking times over and over
Energy shit and psionic stuff is bright blue: check
Doesn't normally speak in a way that humans can hear: check
Is a good... being person thing: check
strong noises: check
If I had to guess, sure, Commander COULD be Asaru. We never see the commander properly, and while this may be to simulate the commander being ourselves in real life and stuff like that, it could just be to hide who the commander truly is. It's perfectly possible.
@@OdinJrthesecond Honestly, I found Asaru to be the most interesting character in an otherwise forgettable game that had very little to do with X-COM. If it was indeed a parallel world, then I can easily see Asaru finishing one campaign against the aliens, then jumping to the next Earth and starting over. Essentially every new game someone starts could be the equivalent of Asaru jumping to another Earth.
And in a bit of fourth wall breakage, that one scene in the Bureau could be seen as William resisting not only Asaru, but the player's control.
The Commander's face never being seen and them never speaking could still be symbolic of them being a stand in for us, only we're kicking alien ass WITH THE HELP OF ASARU! (But our hand doesn't glow with an awesome power)
And thus, with all of these potential facts in front of us, I am now reduced/raised to wanting Asaru in real life simply because they're epic. Probably not okay, but.. eh
@@OdinJrthesecond Asaru views Earth as much his home as ours.
He's also very much aligned with humanity, and is supposed to be a guide of sorts.
It's not a theory. It's been confirmed for this continuity.
The last mission in XCOM2 is off the hook. Super hard, takes some skill to beat.
Not really
lol not that hard with mind controls and hack
When I got to the last mission I had 2 fully unlocked psi ops plus the commander savant ranger with serial and double shot aswell as ALL THE ranger abilities same with a savant sharpshooter and my grenadier with blaster bombs and shredder cannons on all my soilders it was piss easy gatecrasher is much harder
1:48 I have a feeling the Ethereals just foreshadowed XCOM: Apocalypse right there...
Now that you mentioned it, oh lord it would actually make sense..
Either Terror From The Deep or Apocalypse.
The final section was so fun and I am so happy how I completed it. No deaths, only minor injuries. Played on veteran but still it felt challenging and I made all the right choices.
Two of my men died... I will weep forever for them. The medic fell first and bled out, and the sniper had a heroic stand-off with her pistol before she died by a treacherous grenade.
Look out boys, we have a pro gamer here
At least this time if we win it's fcking canon :D
Awww, you actually believe you won?
Well, all this time you where inside a simulation. Silly humans.

Xcom 3: "the avenger was taken down and aliens stole all of xcoms technology, now we fight with spears, bows, and clubs"
3:38 anyone feel the terror from the deep? :P
I want Xcom 3 trailer to include Asaru from Xcom Bureau as the narrator. It is heavily implied that he´s helping the commander (blue aura and the aliens calling him traitor).
Elders: Our intentions were never hostile.
Commander: No? I witnessed your race slaughter unarmed civilians. Explain that.
Elders: We wanted to save the universe from The Much Worse Evil.

+longxa762 yeah, lol

+Thunder “Intel” Child Yeah, it had more in common w/ Lovecraft than Pac Rim. They might throw bits of the film in though for the lulz.
+Brother Malachai Please tell me that's what XCom 3 is going to be... I wanna deal with Lovecraft monsters with my SciFi guns
***** It it follows the storyline from "Terror From The Deep," it should be, yes.
Just finished the campaign for the first time. I could have ended it earlier but delayed cause I don't want the game to end. I'm glad to know the fight ain't over yet. I'm excited for XCOM 3 and see what these things the Elders are so afraid of.
don´t the elders are afraid of death?
I don't cry, but i was damn near it when that ending happened, it was just so beautiful and epic, the commander holding back the elders long enough for the troops to retreat, epic. I mean, i made characters with detailed backstories in the game's lore, i trained them and watched them grow, fought to keep them alive, and i was glad to see them all make it to the finale. I'll get the dlcs one day, and start yet another campaign. Vigilo confido!
2:55 "What that fella?" :D
To me, it sounds like he says, "what does it look like?"
Sounds more like "what the fellala" to me
Tnaks for this, my pc went bonkers when the cutscene started.
Ive played and finished both of the xcom but wow I nvr expect it to end like that
Thanks for the upload, as my save and every of my final mission saves are corrupted after I took a break before killing my last avatar to end my game.
No problem man!
Thanks the cut scene bugged out for me when I beat the game
XCOM Terror From The Deep confirmed!
I love you Firaxis.
That blue light. Is it "that Etheral" from the Bureau?
+vsbr do you mean the purple light? If so, I think that is the ethereal from XCOM EU
+Zionic the commander avartar used the blue psy power againsts the elders. lf you play The bureau (like a prequel to enemy unknown), you will know why the commander is special
+vsbr oh, I forgot about that. Yeah it could be.
It could also be the ones who the Uber Ethereal (the last boss in EU) mentioned during EUs final mission. His exact words were "Behold the greatest failure… of the Ethereal Ones… We who failed to ascend as they thought we would." Maybe that's what it is. Possibly
+vsbr They said "betrayer", proving you right.
Had to come here because like for XCOM: EU/EW everytime I enter the last room the game crash
xcom 3 terror from the deep confirmed
2:25 that advent soldier always crack me up... Its like hes running to the toilet 😂
Kaijus and mechas for the next XCOM ? Tactical mecha combat lets go !
God. These still me goosebumps
Diving down in my killing submarine, my killing submarine...
Ah, well, there'll be an XCom 3 it seems
After I watched the truth behind Carter from Xcom The Bureau Declassified I had an idea about why the Ethereals where so scared. When they say "it will come for you as it came for us" and "you are not ready", what if they are talking about Origin?
Just so you know I never did play bureau, I just did a little digging.
czcams.com/video/nnmUowncX2o/video.html Here is a gameplay video of that game, if anyone else wants to dig into it
Coombesy Plays I don't know, didn't Origin die in Bureau, I mean I don't know what else they could be referring to.
Likely the Aliens from XCOM: Apocalypse. They had no relations to the Ethereals but they were much more dangerous than anything that XCOM have ever encountered back in UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep.
And considering they treated Sectoids as food, it's likely the Ethereals ended on the losing side against them.
I'm hoping this teaser for what looks like a return to "terror from the deep" will include a more *Lovecraftian* theme to it than the initial concept. Even though that's technically what the final level of this one was since the elders were already based at the bottom of the ocean.
4:02 Here come the Kaiju!
Looks like vault hunters will be there soon
1:36 Wait... blue psionic power on the protagonist. Asaru, you were mind controling the Great Commandy One from the begining, weren't you?
If you don't know who Asaru is, play The Bureau: XCOM Declassified, or watch a lets play of it, or just read Asaru's page in the XCOM wiki.
And he´s stronger than 5 or 6 ethereals, damn he´s very powerful
it was hinted at that he was controlling him and it would make sense.
i know it was hinted at that Asaru was controlling the commander, i remember hearing one theory that WE are Asaru controlling the Commander of XCOM as we fight against the rest of our kind.
it's also not so much control as symbiosis.
Lord Gaming Yeah the visual reference seems to point to Asaru being in control of the PC to some degree. If you think about it, ADVENT did with the commander the same thing Origin did with the Orange ethereal (Shamash?) in TBXCD: using them as a node in a psychic control network. Hints that the cmdr is "more" than a regular humon
This cutscene has allowed me to experience the immense sense of freedom and liberation that the French bourgeoisie and Russian proletariat felt when they overthrew their aristocratic and clerical oppressors.
For XCOM!!!
Viva la revolution!
VIGILO CONFIDO !
Wow! 2500 views! I know XCOM 2 is good but hey.
+Zionic Hah. One week later, and you're almost at ten times that.
+Zionic Well if you're like me you can't see the fucking ending! How did you even get it to run? My PC is far above the recommended specs, the game runs smoothly... but then hangs when a cutscene or loading screen appears... Watching the ending at fucking 5 fps...
Yea, this game is developed that good...
I thank u for this video, same as others audio runs but video is frozen.
You are the real mvp mr zionic.
Can’t wait for the lobster men and Tasoths. Truly a Terror From the Deep
OH SHIT WE GOT ANOTHER KAIJU COMING THROUGH THE BREACH X-COM 3 CONFIRMED
This could cross over so well with mass effect
indeed
After lots of blood, sweat and tears..... and save scumming victory finally.
It does stand to reason that this game series would follow the original series. Xcom 3 would be taking place underwater just like the 2nd game did. Now, I'd love to see an Xcom 4 (or 5) like Apocalypse - my favorite of the first 3 Xcom games.
Can’t wait for an actual XCOM3
XCOM against the World. As Peter the general would say, "I ain't going out without a fight!"
it wasnt the commander who carried me through the mission..it was my best man Col. Youssef "Leader" Issef and his squad of 7 others 140+kills ranger class with the Stuart Ashens voice mod and clone armour phase II. he fought from first mission to last
Bruh, I just finished Xcom 2. That last mission from beginning to end, lasted 4 hours for me.
No bullshit.
Same bro. I just finished today. Nice game
Same bro. I just finished today. Nice game
@3:10 is the same energy as using a reaper to spawn a missions max capacity worth of lost, entering shadow & watch them bully a sectopod & small advent force into oblivion.
1:35 call an ambulance, call an ambulance,
BUT NOT FOR ME
Anyone else worried about what the enemy's the elders were warning us
Having played XCOM: Apocalypse many many years ago, it's quite obvious.
@@SoldierOfFate micronoids?
I've beaten the game multiple time already it's just I wish you can still play on after you destroy the Avatar Project by helping the Resitance
XCOM 3's ending better be the Commander, smoking a cigar, and riding a boat into the sunset
Between this and the cutscene before the final mission...why do i think a Rogue Ethereal was helping the commander?
His name is Asaru, very good fellow if you ask me.
Lol, I liked how my soldier got "Execute" on the last Avatar before he/it/whatever even managed to do anything.And the Achievement for beating the game popped up before it happened on the screen, thus spoiling it. Felt pretty anticlimactic XD.
1:55 Kaioken..! Times..! FOUR!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Mago Contemplado AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! *flies into the distance*
you had a good childhood :) SuperHydrow
Mago Contemplado Same to you fam! :D
Kaio-what?
Kaio-Overused joke.
3:56
Either Terror from the Deep is a sequel, or Pacific Rim is.
Vigilo Confindo! I myself am hoping for humanity using the alien technology to dominate the stellar system and repeling the mass assault... finding the the enemies "in the deep" in the end.
I must say - They have REALLY outdone themselves with this game. Story is superior to the EU in every way... the last encounter much more difficult than in EU
Men, get the scuba suits ready. The aliens just went aquadic on us.
This is the moment xcom conquered the world
Yep, Here We Come Terror From The Deep 2 :P
I'd rather let the Earth burn than have to save the world with troll-doll hair.
This message has been brought to you by the Fashion Force.
2:32 It's great how they have Greg Eagles in this. XD
In my playthrou i have killed all the avatars with execution :) i have been using repeater on all my soliders and only used my double shot skills on avatars, and mission ended after the i killed last avatar,so i didn't had to kill all that enemies that spawned as reinforcements :) was my luckiest mission and it was the hardest one.
Man I hope they make another one where you have to lead the resistance in finally crushing advent. And without that blasted avatar project countdown. The worst thing a game can do is make you feel too rushed to enjoy it.
Hey. There's a mod on the workshop that allows you to disable the avatar project completely. With only 1 exception: Bradford will spam you about the project so your ears bleed.
0warii - chan
Darn.
You don't have to rush the game at all, just push back the avatar project, attack the installations.
I took like 75 hours to end the game.
+Kev Urbie I liked the Avatar progress mechanic. I made me feel that there was a sense of urgency to my mission, but it was slow enough that I never really felt rushed to complete the game. Before I even got to the middle of the storyline (Shadow Chamber built), I already had an almost max level squad, and my gear was maxxed out.
Towards the endgame, I had backed the avatar project up so much, and my squad was so strong, that there really wasn't anything to do but stomp out Advent once and for all.
I feel like there's one major plothole with the ending, remember how the ADVENT weapons are supposed to be lethal if your genetics aren't coded into the system? So what's the dude who picks up the rifle expecting to do lol
+Watcheka BingoSalame 1. He could have just disarmed. It doesn't show him shooting the gun.
2. Use it as melee?
3. The ADVENT tower you captured in second-to-last mission could have been also responsible for the biolocks on weapons, so it is possible they were shut down with the tower.
Watcheka my theory is the scientist you hired were just fucking with you for funding.
I do really hope XCOM 3 will finally be a TFTD Remake. :) But first! Let's see those expansion packs they are talking about. :)
Always liked that sneaking grenade launcher guy
So it seems we are gonna be waiting for Terror from the Deep remake or something like that
"It will follow you, as it followed us. You are not ready." Wonder what this xeno was blabbing about.
"Let's be xenophobic, its really in this year,"
What's that song called again, Jake?
I feel XCOM 3 should be an all out war between ADVENT and The Resistance
(Basically this game, but on a larger scale....I CANNOT MAKE THIS ANY MORE CLEARER)
Did you hear what the elders say they must not fail? Your not ready for it? Something more powerful than them? What!?
Funny thing is that my campaign also ended with the final avatar being cut in half by my ranger's blade.
Hey, my commander's avatar cut the final avatar with the blade as well.
My campaign ended with the final avatar walking into blazing pinions from a dominated archon 💀
XCOM defeat the aliens very sneeky,until it blow up concealment XD
They call him a betrayer at the end
When they make XCOM 3 Terror from the deep remake, there's going be Kaiju fights on Pacific Rim style. That's where my moneys are
Code95FIN God I hope not, I would love to see a continuation of the interplanetary civil war, and then maybe something different.
I managed to beat it without losing any missions and only losing 1 troop the amount of reloading I had to do
XCOM 3: Terror from the deep remake.
i hope so
Did. Did the avatar you killed scream "SHIIIIIIIIIIT"
came here because my game crashed on starting the ending scene and corrupting the auto save file of the entire mission
So at the end, it said I lost 8 soldiers even though none died in my playthrough other than the 2 you lose by default. Is that a bug?
I'm kinda wondering if the third game, because its pretty hard to imagine that they won't make one, will have the sectoid/human hybrids that advent was using for their soldiers as potential recruits, similar to the old x-com apocalypse game. I mean, I know they're mostly brainwashed, but there has to be some that were still in the process of being created who haven't undergone said conditioning yet. It would be interesting. Maybe the hybrids would be weaker physically but have better psionics or something along those lines.
+Shayne McConnell I mean, we've severed the link of the Ethereals. Theoretically, shouldn't various races be able to have autonomous thought at this stage? I'd love to see Sectoid/Human hybrids working with us.
I want a Muton Heavy.
During the final mission it is said that many advent troops stopped fighting or started attacking each other, this supports the idea that they don´t like being controlled.
@@gogman25 lol
The environment in your game looks so much less messy than how mine was at this point.
+SuckTitles Just slice everyone and you beat the final level in seconds :D
i put stocks on mst of my guys and just kept the Avatar porting until they went someplace stupidly out of cover. course, there was also that first epically satisfying time after SLG came out and i punched one halfway across the room with a SPARK.
I kind of wish Xcom didn't have that "shoot first, ask questions later" policy, since its clear that the Elders know more than we do. It's odd that the Commander wouldn't even entertain the notion to negotiate, just to find out what they know, what this other threat. The Elders (Angelis in particular), just speak vaguely enough not to reveal anything tangible, and make it hard to glean any insight into their invasion.
I personally don't think they are evil at all, they just see a bigger picture. Using humanity to strengthen themselves enough to defeat this unknown force doesn't seem an unreasonable course of action.
I also wish I knew what they meant when they said "return to us". It almost imlies that the Commander is somehow connected to them. Is that why he destroys them? To hide some hidden link between them? The game shows him/her to be an exceptional being, wielding power on par with an elder when connected to the Avatar suit.
In any case, I hope Long War 2 becomes a thing and makes this game the best thing ever.
Well to be fair, they could have warned us of "the greater threat" BEFORE trying to process millions of "non-essential" humans into whatever they use to make Avatars. Or BEFORE even invading Earth in the first place. I guess it was too hard for them to simply say "Hello there, new species! Some evil thing is chasing us, and we could use some help in kicking it's ass. Care to lend a hand?" or something...
Also, when they said "return to us" it probably means they want to hook the commander up to use them for their ADVENT network for tactical brilliance. Again.
Although, you can't see it properly because of the bright light flashing in the way, if you look closely at the captions for the dialogue at 1:12 (Botton middle of the screen, its very quick.) The Elders say "Betrayer!" Suggesting the commander was connected to the Elders in some way..
@@jakespacepiratee3740 There's a lot of hints throughout the game that the Commander holds the essence / spirit of an Elder (thus making him the first Avatar). Firstly the codex in the opening cutscene refers to the Commander as an Avatar, in WotC in chosen dialogue its implied Elders revealed the information of "the void that approaches" to the Commander (information which he does not relay to Central), and suggesting Commander had access to Top Secret information in the collective.
Then there's Lily saying its impossible unless... there's the elder in the cutscenes which encourages us, there's the fact Avenger was never found despite lying in the jungles near New Kochi for 20 years. In XCOM 2: Resurrection its also stated that someone high up in Advent is directly supplying XCOM with resources (which means that either the Councilman is even more powerful than assumed, orr he himself is covered by someone "higher up". Plus Elders are intrested in capturing the Commander instead of killing him, going so far as to go out of their way not to kill him. And they call him a betrayer
The tyranids are coming. Thats what the elders are afraid of.
I think I know why humans very high aptitude with psionic because its something to do with earth its self.
