>>507900626What is Big Crunch?
Why do some Pectoids have lips while others don’tWhy do they have to wear clothes now even though the Ethereals had them with no clothes before Does that mean they were forced to be naked
That sounds pretty racist to Vipers, OP.Reporting you to ADVENT HQ
>>507903086Anon, ADVENT is deader than disco. The closest you can get to them is those Sacred Coil nut jobs that preach in the subway.
>>507903489Dirt is just one planet. They will return! Just you wait! They will return and restore the promised glory!
>>507902127The Ethereals were guilty of a great many atrocities.
>>507904179But whyWhy give everyone else clothes except for the sectoids
Xcom is shit.Any rng based game that has to manipulate the rng in favor of either the AI or the player to compensate for their shit AI is a shit game (I'm looking at you too, Civ).
>>507904413Same reason why I would give everyone clothes except vipers if I ruled the world.
>>507904413They liked their little buts.But then the sectoids became adults and the ethereals suddenly became aware tha their preoccupation with little sectoid asses had meant their bodies atrophied and they bagan to die off, hence xcom 2.

>>507905674No idea, if you ever find out feel free to tell me
>>507905508>not availabe for purchase in americamust be some russkie/shina shit. like that one chinese VN with the lolis.
>>507906771I assumed it was a american key, pretty surprised that isnt the case
>>507907428where did you even get it? also, if it was american, it would have been snatched up by bots instantly.
>>507907819Indiegala, it's supposed to be a european xcom 2 collection key but obviously it isnt
GUYS THE ALIENS ARE TOTALLY OK NOWYOU CAN'T BE RACIST TOWARDS THEM OR XCOM WILL LITERALLY DESTROY YOUR BRAIN WITH PSIONIC POWERS
>>507908098my man, I sincerely hope you didn't pay money for whatever this key is. on the bright side, once you finally find out what is, you can go pirate it. probably.
>>507908331It’s really only Sectoids, Mutons, Vipers, and the Hybrids. Everything else can go fuck themselves.
>>507908157lmao that nigga's head is a nut sack
yo how come in chimera the sectoids that talk like newsman and the guy on your team have lips but the ones you kill have sharp teeth from xcom2?
>>507908926the archons are literally being controlled by collars, right? I know THEY aren't stable enough for even the elders to actually civilize.
>>507904603>having to rely on rng to kill enemiesIf you can't flank then you're just bad.
>>507909223Pretty much.
>>507909184Genetic modification?
>>507902127>Why do some Pectoids have lips while others don’tPlastic surgery>Why do they have to wear clothes now even though the Ethereals had them with no clothes beforeFor modesty and judging by them not wearing shoes I think they are forcing themselves to wear clothes now, they don''t seem all that comfortable in them
What the actual fuck is this
>>507902127The only reason Verge and Big Green have lips is to make them more human looking so double digit iq players can #relate to them. I suppose it also somewhat helps cover for the lame voice acting since if they have human mouths they should talk like humans. Though that doesn't explain Torque. As for wearing clothes it could be that they had no need for them since they're all sexless clones and just do it now to fit in. But that ones more up in the air, could be anything
>>507912468A man deprived of his sweater
>>507912576The only reason I can see for why they cut corners, is because XCOM 3 is in development, and Chimera Squad is a cheap spin off to tide people over until 3 comes out.
>>507900626>Do not eat cats please>Do not eat them
>>507913013I meant the gun
>>507913013Not anymore.
>>507901489>>507900626i got the nickname ’big crunch’ in grade 9 because I’d ditch boring math class to play GBA on bathroom breaks.i was give the name by a boy named Skylar, who was a tenth grade student held back in grade 9 math. Last I saw skylar, about seven years later, he was covered in tattoos and he had a neck.and arm brace.
>>507913364That's just the statue
>>507912576>Verge and Big Green have lips is to make them more human looking so double digit iq players can #relate to themI hate this so much; not that it would fix this mess, but if I play something like this with a bunch of aliens on my team, I want them to BE aliens, let them screech ADVENT esperanto through vocoders, not drop hot Joss Whedon quips with a west coast accent.
>>507914958VOX TALA FOR TEN
>>507913183How many times did this happen that they needed to tell them twice
>>507900626You still have NotDogs.
>>507900626Lookin up Big Crunch gives me a Kfc burger and a large Oreo choco bar. So who knows OP, maybe one day you'll be able to eat it.
>>507902127The ingame explanation is that the Ayys that integrated with humanity got gene spliced with humans to cover some weaknesses.A lot of the advertisement chatter implies that Sectoids have fatal, allergic reactions to half the things on Earth.
>>507908926And some of the Faceless.
>>507918191Thats a cute faceless
>>507918191Never thought about it, but Faceless seem like pretty ideal construction workers actually.
Even Shen’s SPARKs are being integrated into society.
>>507919321

>>507920613True, Sectoids are just plain fucked
>>507920735There’s some nice dialogue between Verge and Cherub split the costs of food so Verge can know what other foods taste like via mind link.
>>507913183> that giant lizard petyou just know
>>507913183
>DRESS LIKE A HUMAN! >Dressing like a Human will help you fit in!
>>507921342Oh, I never got that. That's pretty neat.
>>507913520are you on the spectrum?
>Archons are still so mentally fucked that all they can do for them is put them in virtual reality:(
>>507900626>>507913183I thought if Sectoids ate food they would die. At least greasy food.
>>507908157Is this a mod or did I never zoom on commanders and assumed they just looked normal?
>Mutons are female>Berserkers are female>Vipers are female>CODEX are female (representations) Are ADVENT troops also female? No way they didn't have kissable lips like that and not have female human DNA.
>>507923018Reminder that the Ethereals turned Mutons into Floaters, and then turned those Floaters into Archons.
>>507923465Long War 2.
>>507920021>>507920170Is a tegu. The dog of lizards if raised properly.
>>507923978Did you forget Betos from WOTC, or did you just not play it?
>>507908157THE BIG BRAIN AM WINNING AGAIN
>>507922575I thought that Berserkers were the female Mutons.
>>507924190Didn't get to play it yet. I'm 24 hours in the main game.
>>507912576them ewaring clothes is literally to fit in, there are posters talking about wearing human clothes making it easier to integrate into society, and it's got a male and female muton dressed like a 50s couple, complete with the male muton wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
>>507924287Female mutts genetically modified
>>507924328>>507922575
>>507922996I always find this question fucking hilarious on 4chan and particularly Holla Forums. Even if you consider yourself normal, this place is a hive for autism and obsessive types.
>>507924287they are, but when the elders aren't forcing them to become bloodthirsty perma-raged monsters they probably look just like regular mutons
>>507924190>>507923978>Most of the enemies are female/representations of femalesWhat did the devs mean by this?
>>507924636they wanna FUCK some XENOS
I hope they fucking patch chimera squad soon, I tried playing it and I hard crashed three times on one mission, not to mention all the shit i'm hearing about bugs killing saves.
>>507900626I don't really care for how the sectoid looks in the new game but god damn at least they got off better than the mutons
>>507923978>>507924636Mutons are the males of their species, while Berserkers are their females after the Ethereals genetically modified them. I’m not certain about the ADVENT soldiers. Betos and some of the Skirmishers are the only confirmed female hybrids in the game, and they’re allies.
>>507924087you just know
can a lore expert for chimera squad explain to me what the fuck is up with andromedons
>>507928591theyre the misguided urban youths of aliens
CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHEN THE FUCK CHIMERA SQUAD IS GOING TO BE PATCHED ?! Fuck Firaxis, I paid for this shit, should've stayed with 2
HELLO NEIGHBOR
>>507928591They are locked up in their own ghetto, and every thursday gunshots can be heard from there but cops don't bother to check it out because nobody call it in.Some Andromedons are religious fanatics that joined Sacred Coil.
>>507928591Apparently they are not liked by the other aliens. It's thought that they weren't even controlled by the elders, instead just mercenaries they hired.
>>507908157gowon...
>>507929445>dat picen.wikipedia.org
>>507932396What a shithole
>>507919321That's one helluva reference, if it is what I think it is.
Sectoids are fucking weebs
xcom 3 will be a terror from the deep remake
>>507917736they have it rough, Verge wants to mindmeld with his teammates just so he can taste some food.
>>507934420God I hope not, maybe Jake will stop them from doing that, he doesn't like tfd much
>>507934913The XCOM 2 ending basically confirms it’s TFTD.
>Verge's bio states that he began to show sympathetic feelings to humans after becoming the longboi version with human DNA>in a dialogue, axiom mentions that his memories before human DNA are a haze and admits that all Mutons were just brutes beforeI honestly expected this to not ever be touched. I'm not sold on the setting and alien redesigns but it's something.
>>507918191>>507918742Faceless are probably ideal for integration into human society since they were literally made to do exactly that. They can presumably talk and do everything a human can, but can also turn into a huge blob monster if they need to.
>>507936471Verge’s backstory video says that he learned empathy after becoming a Pectoid, and spending so much time in the minds of humans. It must’ve affected him greatly, because the rest of his bio says he was working for the resistance by spying on ADVENT from the inside.
What the fuck is Bugtown
>>507936982A town in City 31 that was suddenly overrun by Chryssalids from an unknown source. Axiom proved himself a valuable asset by preventing the already terrible situation from getting worse, and saving as many people as he could.
>>507937827Wow sounds like they should try harder to integrate chryssalids to human society
>>507938225Anon, Chryssalids aren’t being integrated into society at all. They’re seen as vermin that need to exterminated, and absolutely no one likes them.
>>507938668Wow why are they so xenophobic? My chryssalid never hurt anyone.
>>507935875Maybe it's bait and switch
How do codexes, berserkers, and archons fit in?
>toys of sectoids and thin men
>>507939016They don’t. Neither do Spectres or Gatekeepers.
>>507938937Sectomancer had better be an ability for the inevitable sectoid squaddies in Xcom 3.
>>507938913#NotAllChryssalids #BlameTheOwnerNotTheAyy
So why didn't lizzards just go back to being thin men to integrate?
>>507939425Because Thin Men are extremely uncanny.
>>507938668But I want a bug gf
>>507939139I want that Groundranger toy
>>507939425Thin Mint are way creepier than Snek
>>507939139>faceless slime
>>507938937>sectomancerpretty cool
possibly the worst writing of any game I've ever played. pretty fun gameplay tho, 7/10 overall
>>507939425because i want to fuck the snake
>PAMP EET
Vipers are only part of society because 2K is pandering to snakefuckers.Sectoids developing human-likr emotions from the human DNA the ethereals gave them? Ok.Mutons gaining a mind for individuality and becoming frogs from the same infusion? Fine.But vipers and the thin men versions were always mentioned as being extremely loyal to the ethereals. There's no excuse to having them be so present
>>507939425big snek titties help integrate better. BTW is it true the game hints that there are snek strip clubs?
>>507940031Maybe they pledged their loyalty to the Ethereals after they lost, and when mankind defeated them an the Ethereals, they decided to team up with humans.
>>507940172Yes. There’s one mission inside one of them.
>>507919321>>507919440>>507919826I thought the explanation for new Earth rulers for not exterminating the Alien ex-occupants was "dire need for labor force"?Why even let them live as potential hazard when you can just mass-produce Sparks or mass clone ex-Advent?
>>507940172There are yes.
>>507940461Am I the only one who loathes this font
>>507940308
>>507940324Then you wouldn't have a game.
>>507940172oh yes
>>507940324SPARKs are presumably expensive as fuck. Droids can get the job done too, even if the rapairs on them is insane, due to their cheaper cost.
>>507940626Well This is my single thought I had in my head while watching in-game bios.That or becoming a Super Saiyan gave Commander brain damage.
>>507940561it drives me insane, which is a shame cuz i love the posters
>>507940874The Commander is busy overseeing the production of the Avenger 2.0.
>>507940561No the font is garbage it is clear they just went uuuuuh how do we make a writing look alien? uuuuuh round bold squares and lines with bends? eh good enough
>>507940172>>507940308>>507940461>>507940563>>507940704I am glad to know the sacrifices of my men weren't for nothing
>>507940031What about that part where they killed off all of the male Vipers as population control.
inb4 the mystery force of 3 is actually the main timeline forces of Earth if the first game was won and it became a ruthless and militaristic society with unchecked psionics and meld stuff. So the final game is you with your colorful X-Com composed of humans and aliens living in harmony versus evil X-Com led by the deranged Volunteer who's now a dictator for life and was hunting down the ethereals over and over across realities.
>>507941661"evil"-Xcom sounds based and redpilled.I think I join them for some psi-tests.
>>507913520>skylarGiving your kid a name like this should be considered child abuse.
>>507940031A pre disposition for extreme loyalty is in their genes but the recipient of that loyalty is not possibly?
>>507940031Bruh the moment they got delicious hemipenis the Vipers split from ADVENT.
>>507920613That's fantastic.
>>507922575Works for trannies
>>507923018They don't even get the dignity of being thought of as sentient. Kelly calls them creatures.
>>507942765And the only place they end up fitting is a coffin.
>>507942723It’s also read off as a rapid fire disclaimer in the game.
>>507923978According to the extensive inspection of assets by /xcg/ many Advent troops are female but they have almost identical models of males.
>>507942803They aren’t really sentient. They’re more like rabid animals. Especially when you remember they used to be Floaters.
How would fucking a Codex feel like?
>>507943063>put your dick inside >it counts as damage Good bye, penis.
>>507924287There are normal females but they don't have any sexual dimorphism outside of a slightly higher voice and bigger eyelashes. All muton berserkers are female, however. Apparently male mutons see Berserkers as something other than meat colored rage monsters, apparently.
>>507938225I think this was the biggest issue I have with Chimera Squad.I assumed Chryssalids were just midless beasts kept on a psionic leash by the Elders and that they would have straight up purged, not let into a city.
>>507943063If the Codex is a virgin you're heading for a threesome.
>>507943283>I assumed Chryssalids were just midless beasts kept on a psionic leash by the EldersThey are.
>>507924636>All vipers>All mutons>All muton berserkers>All codex>All chrysallids >A percentage of each individual gatekeeper>Roughly half of advent troops ie hybrids>unknown percentage of mutons>none of the faceless>None of the sectoids.
>>507943063have you ever stuck your dick in a laser weapon because it's like that
>>507943283They are mindless animals though. The reason the Bugtown Massacre happened was because the leader of Sacred Coil got eggs, and set them loose.
>>507943178>it counts as damage>instant threesome
>>507943484>all mutons But that’s wrong.
>>507943496Anon, how do you know what that feels like?
>>507943484>none of the sectoids
>>507943840Those child drawings are very cuteDoes that mean sectoid kids look like they did originally?
>>507943840>that actual sectoidCute!

>>507940561It's horrible. It takes me minutes to read this crap. Sometimes its funny.
>>507944091The Mutons in the Muton Brewton signs do look like they wouldn’t be out of place in Futurama.
>>507943840>that drawing of bradford Adorable.
>>507943840
>>507901489The cereal that writhes!
>>507940031The Vipers can panic if they see your guys wearing viper king skin so maybe ethereals just skinned enough sneks to make them "loyal"?
>>507943660Typo.>>507943840They don't have genitals, I figured that makes them neither male of female.
>>507944670Will Torque panic if I show her this picture?
>>507944746Considering it's what Jane wore to their dates, she'd probably just get wet.
>>507944693That man on the right looks like fuckin EXALT, without the suit and tie.
>>507944624Reminds me of those Bordens milk ads.
>>507939898why is that sectoid brown?
>>507908157
>>507908331racists' brains are already mostly destroyed though
>>507944938Either a joke about how business men get tans or to make it seem like these posters are made by different printers.
>>507943367>>507943582That's what I am getting at they should be treated as biological weapons, locked down except when you turn them loose and run the fuck away in the other direction.They shouldnt just be walking around making up numbers on missions and hanging out around Sacred Coil hideouts.
Gears Tactics really makes me want an execution system in XCOM 3
>>507945449>They shouldnt just be walking around making up numbers on missions and hanging out around Sacred Coil hideouts.Sacred Coil has been breeding Chryssalids on purpose. That's the reason why they appear, not because they're just normally out and about.
>>507944915Also looks like he is pissed off:>Trained by the best in warfare.>Fully outfitted class IV armor with assault rifle, sound dampener, AP rounds.>You dangerous mission is bringing in a streaking sectoid and listening to him explain how he never got told to wear pants for the last five years.
>>507945868>Get ready for fruit!
>>507943283They are only unleashed by Elders worshipper fanatics. The other two more sensible gangs don't field them
>>507945449Anon, if you do the Coil first, you literally get a mission to stop them from recovering a clutch of eggs from during the war. The Coil are more or less breeding their own attack dogs, everyone else kills the Chrysalids like the rabid monster they are.
>>507945621How is that game?
So Chimera Squad is more like Shadowrun than traditional Xcom?
>>507946126They could transport chrysallids to lost cities to kill of lost but then there would be chryssalid infested cities.
>>507946168It's neat but it does feel like Baby's first XCOM>Zero base management>Upgrades for weapons and gear are found in chests in the maps>4 units to a squad max but depending on the story missions your choices can be limited>Rescue missions flat out can require you to only send in one unit>Execution is the star of the show since it allows you to gain an addition move to the units who didn't do the execution>Being able to hold a position and take fire multiple times with one unit feels great>Balance is more about dealing with lots of low health units rather than massive tank enemiesI'd recommend just trialing it through Game Pass if you can
>>507946231It's like a rebalanced Xcom 2, with 11 classes that have set models, no pods whole room of ayys is reealed at once, smaller research tree,more enemy variety, strategy map more smilar to xcom 1, and interwoven turns
>>507922575Literal dystopian propaganda. It's only been 5 years and the status quo is already established.
as much as the dialogue annoyed me, i really do like the setting and silly ads in chimera squad i'd certainly like the game more if my iron man save wasnt stuck in a mission with reinforcements that never fucking comepatch when
>>507948579>he fell for the ironman memeI don't understand why anyone would do that given how fucking buggy XCOM games can be.
>>507948579>>507948676My one run was almost rekt by a glitch in the Hunter's base where a door became completely impassable due to the Chryssalid bug. Thankfully I had explosives with me so I just blew a big hole in the wall and walked through it.>I don't understand why anyone would do thatIt's the only way for me. I'd rather lose to a bug than "win" by savescumming.
So is Chimera Squad good or is it all just propaganda by snake coomers?
>Get the med kit bug.>find out after seeing I have 26 medikits.>Don't want to continue because of all the wasted space dollars and lost gear that could affect my run.Path when?! I mean, having a kit in your inventory is pretty OP because you get immune to a lot of things but still, I miss having weapon mods,
>>507947201Is it difficult?Am I going to regret playing the hardest difficulty blind?
>>507948916>It's the only way for me. I'd rather lose to a bug than "win" by savescumming.There's a little secret to both not savescum while also avoiding the chance of your run getting ruined by glitches/bugsit's called self control
>>507948985a little of column A, a little of column B
>>507948985For $10 I would have absolutely recommended it, for $20 it's a bit of a harder sell. I'm planning on playing it to get all three different faction variation missions but after that I think I'll just go back to 2.
>>507949046No self control in the world is going to stop you from reloading after your squad gets wiped by the untold level of unfair bullshit XCOM 2 throws at you. Only the cold, uncaring hands of the Grim Ironman can set you straight.
>>507948985It's a fun, if short game, that has some interesting twists on the classic X-com formula. It does get very easy very quickly, with the exception of one mission, when you start to understand how to break the combat system. Was worth the 10 bucks it cost at release, I'd maybe wait for a sale and to see what mods come out for it if you're not sure you'll love the game, but it's a good game for what it is. I did two runs for a total of ~40ish hours, the second trying to intentionally gimp myself for an extra challenge.If you're going to do Ironman, do it through honesty, not the check box. The game can ruin your day with a bug otherwise.
>>507941063The commander is likely in a vegetative state in his pod while his avatar does it's best Highlander quickening impression.
>>507949027Overall not but there's one mission if you pick one of 3 investigations early, that has super overtuned encounter, by far the hardest battle in any nuComs
>>507949234I did all 3 different investigation orders but I'm still at 91% meta completion. How do I get full 100%?
>>507949671It's funny because if you do them later, they don't throw nearly as much shit at you during a single encounter. I wonder if it's actually a bug and they flipped the 'doing them first' and 'doing them last' missions.
>>507949671Should’ve picked to take out the bugs instead of the robots, dumbass.
>>50794945720 hours campaign isn't a short game by any means and it has decent replayability
>>507949789No idea, honestly. I've only finished one run going>GF, Progeny, SCAnd just finished SC in my second run going>Progeny, SC, GFI'm looking forward to having to do SC first
>>507949812That's not my screenshot, got it from google>>507949805I find it interesting how all 3 final missions are split into 5 rooms and how deep you get into their base and where you start from depends on order
>>507949867I mean, for an Xcom game it is short. It's not short compared to most other modern games, though, so fair point.
>>507947201>strategy map more smilar to xcom 1Guess I'm sold.
I want a mod that replaces call alien models and voice acting with the xcom 2 equivalent. Having all humans react to random alien hissing and roars like quips would be fun too.
>>507949965I did my first run SC, GF, Progeny and it was brutal. 2nd run was GF, Progeny, SC and in that order SC is a much easier mission, independent of how your squad is geared.Now I'm finishing Progeny, SC, GF (just GF to finish off) but I have 91% in SC and Progeny. Maybe it depends on what dark events you choose to stop. Those can be unique missions too right?

>>507950181It's kinda easier than satelites and air game though. You got 9 districts and every 2nd turn you get to choose from 2 or 3 missions to do, where you don't do missions panic rises. At 5 panic that district adds to overall City anarchy meter. You get "satellites" to place in districts and few buttons to manage panic, so it's easier than Xcom1 but more involved than 2. To be honest I don't know how you can even get game over since losing missions forces you to reload, so you can't get your A team killed and keep failing mission after mission. With all the tools you get to manage panic you'd have to purposefully let anarchy rise
>>507945227Anon I.......
>>507908331Well you have a not insignificant amount of aliens that are free from mental conditioning and enslavement by ethereals, besides they didnt just let them go and it seems violent crime by aliens is punished pretty harshly.
>>507950403Big Boss is pretty fucking insane>give him the epic pistol for Lightning Hands and a frag grenade with talon rounds, scope, and laser sight>Alpha Strike and hit 1 person >Lightning Hands another>Grenade another>Shoot two more people>Free reload>Use faceoff and watch as everyone gets crit + Die Hard procs
FUCKING SECTOIDS GET THE FUCK OFF MY PLANET REEEEEEE
>>507908331Wait, XCOM went woke? WHAT?
>>507920735Given their genderless state, they are. They are dying out, hybrids, maybe, mutons can probably make it as far as we know. Vipers dno.
>>507951361They didn’t. They’re really only accepting Hybrids, Sectoids, Vipers, and Mutons. Everything else is still an enemy, and there are still enemy Sectoids, Mutons, and Vipers.
>>507930321>instead just mercenaries they hired.Doesnt seem very ethereal but andros very kinda fucked anyway since they couldnt even take earths atno and needed som toxic bs and their suits.
>>507950810Don't let the wagies poison your mind
>>507951640Are the only white guys in the squad the aliens?
>>507951054Allowing them to stay, victims of enslavement or not, is a security risk only a retard or brain damaged xenophile would do.History is filled to brim with just human factions making sustainable civilization impossible in those circumstances.And they did not have mind control abilities.>>507951361Chimera Squad. Low budget spinoff of nuXcom that uses scenario so implausible it makes my brain collapse inwardly.
>>507940324Some shred of morality.
>>507943063>How would fucking a Codex feel like?>how>likeThat is not how grammar works, you fucking 9gagger.
>>507952130The sad truth is that people liked the aliens and XCOM were treated like terrorists. If XCOM instuted a genocide of all aliens after effectively taking over earth that would have a, what, 100% chance of worldwide rebellions? XCOM can't exert the same control that ADVENT could, and even they could only effectively cull a portion of the human species.
>>507951739I eventually wanna die as a Grandfather.
>>507943063Butt fucking naked yet literally not a single piece of r34. I will never not be mad. Us Clankers need some love too y'know
>>507951857Xcom didn't have the mannpower to genocide all aliens that surrendered, that would spark a 3rd Humans vs Ayys war. So they locked up all xenos in internment camps and City 31 is the first place where they try realesing aliens that are seen as passable members of the society. And even then it hardly goes smooth at all, with riots, armed robbery and terrorism almost everyday
I miss the alien designs of the first game. What in God's name did they do to my Floaters?
heh...... nothin personell, comander.........but your men are done for...........*climbs up ladder**climbs down ladder**grapples to a ledge*get ready for me.......*ends turn*
>>507952596Brilliance, user. They were so grotesque that they turned them into regal angels... But when you fight them they make the same snarls, showing the change was only skin deep.The new aliens in 2 are my favorite enemies in any video game ever. It's something that they absolutely trounced EU/EW with.
>>507952596They turned them into Archons. But don’t worry, they’re still extremely, earth-shatteringly, unreasonably fuck-ass mad.
>>507952698Why are the Chosen so fucking retarded.
>>507952596All the aliens besides the faceless were made to be aestetically pleasing to humans. Vipers no longer need to look like freaky fake humans, floaters no longer look like chopped up angry corpses held together with machines, PECtoids are now chads that take all the human women instead of being stereotype ayylmaos.
I'm still on the fence wether I should actually play chimera squad or not. See, IMO the nuComs are all 10/10 and I don't want to tarnish that streak wtih a 8/10 at best. I want to savor the anticipation for XCOM 3: Terror from the Deep.
>>507952901The Assassin was the only one that fucked me up some. The other 2 were free gear.
>>507952907I'm sure like 99.9% of humans would shit their pants if they ever saw a Viper though. And it's not like they can talk them down either.>AAAAAAAA>SSSSSSSSSSSS>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA>SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
>>507952901War of the Chosen is sort of unfinished. Assassin is the only Chosen with good AI, the Reapers get almost all the exposure in the faction quest and are the first faction to join you. If I'm not wrong, people datamined and found a 4th chosen (Grenadier) and 4th faction (robots) as well that were cut, the robots even had an ending cutscene.
>>507953016>I'm sure like 99.9% of humans would shit their pants if they ever saw a Viper thoughI think the Viper would be more afraid.>OH FUCK SNEK MOMMY PLEASE EAT ME GIB VENOMOUS VIPER MILKIES
>>507952360>100% chance of worldwide rebellions?Yeah, that is a vast exaggeration.For everyone living through lifting of Iron Curtain, nobody had any delusions of what was happening all the time.Even with propaganda in every corner, commies were pushed off cliffs weekly.Shit like >>507952130 is saying is for first world cattle.What would actually happen in real life would be instant balkanization of released states and around 1/4 of them actively eradicating aliens and another using them as slaves.
>>507952907What about Mutons?
>>507953095Any model or whatnot?
>>507940461Right looks like it's from Futurama
>>507953015I want more sidegrades in weapons in XCOM 3. Like how you have to choose between axe or chosen sword, or flintlock or chosen pistol, with distinct pros and cons. The progression 1st tier 2nd tier 3rd tier is a bit boring
>>507951773Well maybe City 31 is in India or somewhere in Africa. That would explain why this city is such a shithole and a testing ground for alien integration.
>>507953213Doubtful. The running theme of XCOM is how the world will never be the same, due to psionics and shit, so having states seems unlikely. And, like, singular entities in charge. Too easily controlled.
>>507953016Elders spent 20 years making propaganda how aliens are benevolent saviors of humanity, I don't think average citizen is scared of the "civilized" sorts of aliens
>>507953270They made them smaller.

NuCom is cringe and sjw, if you talk about it your a shill, so kys.
>>507953728I remember his voice acting was really great. Too bad his quest was so fucking annoying so I never replayed it. Missed opportunity not making him a faction.
>>507951773Quick run-down of nationality of squad personel, you decide who passes as white enoughClaymore - Indian manShelter - Chilean manGodmother - French black womanTerminal - Chinese womanBlueblood - American black manPatchwork - Mexican woman
>>507953515Psionics would undoubtedly create a aristocratic class on whole new level.This is yet another explosive indigent other than separatists freedom fighter cells or rampaging aliens that makes this setting completely destroying suspension of disbelief.
If it's true that there was supposed to be a robotic group in WOTC, and combined with what Chimera Squad brought, it sounds like XCom 3 will be like Apocalypse.
>>507944886based
>>507954156Which is why it's an iOS game set in one city and not XCOM 3. For sure they're saving the huge ramifications for XCOM 3.
>>507954252Hey I have a proposition to all the Xenophobes out there, You kill all lesbian Vipers and I fuck the rest. Deal struck?
>>507954156El escuadrón de americanos was a budget game made by a bunch of interns, Jake said he didn't have anything to do with it since he's working on a big project right now.
>>507954281In that case I hope they once again make failure canon and end this farce of an organization with Quintessentially Earthling Muton blowing the whole building up.

>>507955559
>>507955559No, he's a filthy alien. Torque is an honorary earthling and from the whitest region possible
>>507955659She ate people.
>>507956043Just following orders
>>507955659Well white guy isn't white gal now is it?

>>507956213She said she enjoyed executing those orders tho.
>>507956265City 30 must be paradise compared to the lawless ghetto of City 31. You'd breeze thorugh all the missions with gatekeeper. 2 mind nukings and all criminals would shit their pants and cease their evil ways
>>507956213She ate people and she brags about how she ate people.>>507956263Yeah but we were doing it for survival against a horrible tragedy that killed like a quarter of our species. Not because it tasted good because it probably didn't.
>>507956323Love what you do, and you'll never truly work a day in your life
>>507956507She’s joking.
>>507956585???
>>507956265I'm getting a The Metamorphosis vibe from this.>"My good sir, please drop your weapons and hold your arms up so that I may inspect you for any incriminating evidence", I tried to say, but it came out as me laying a bunch of eggs on him

>>507952482Commissions are a thing you know,
>>507956678Do you think the newly hatched Chryssalids come out with the XCOM police hats already on?
>>507956790Nope, they get those K-9 puppy vests
>>507954252There's nothing suggesting that Torque is a lesbo in the game
>>507957114She's a freaky alien, she probably can't even tell the difference.
>>507957114Some people misinterpreted Jane and Torque’s relationship. They seemed more like friends if anything.
>>507956790No, the hats have to be hatched separately
>>507957114>>507957286Torque acts mean to everyone but Jane Kelly there is no proof that Torque isn't Lesb.
>>507957571I'm just annoyed how these days everytime there's a friendship between two characters immediately there's "oh nope they ain't just friends, they are having sex"
>>507957286>>507957114>"strong bond" emphasized in Torque's bio>Only person Torque shows any vulnerability with is Jane>Only person Torque lightly jokes with is Jane>Has Jane's personal phone number and they call each other after work>Ending cutscene Torque seems annoyes at Cherub and Terminal for talking when Jane arrivesThere will be more snakes out there anons. And if anyone deserves a snake wife I'd put Jane pretty high up there from my campaigns.
>>507957779If Torque weren't mean to ONE other person than her we could conclude that it's just a friendship.
>>507956301Is that a male Viper? Or as I like to call them, a Snakeman?

>>507958068it's anyone's guess, no shit gets explained in the game and enemy vipers don't talk, so you can't even judge by their voice
>>507957009the K stands for karnage!
>>507958285Good thing they got replaced by Burger Palace.
So there is no canon straight Viper?
>>507958158Oh wow, his face really does look exactly like feelsguy. Considering the Viper brothels I doubt that's a coincidence.

>>507957779>j-just friends bro
>>507957779I think Uncharted's original author complained about rampant sexualization and how stories like "It's quiet on the Eastern Front" would never be done today because when two guys/girls are being best friends everyone wants them to fuck.

>>507960591Slavs love everything turn based
>>507922575honestly If I ever lived in a future with gigga nigs I would prefer each alien were whats most comfortable to them even if its nothing at all.human clothes were made to fit humans. nothing else. its like putting a dog in jeans. its fucking dumb.let the Mutons continue wearing battle armor or shit and leave the jeans and sweaters to us.
>>507963418You just wanna stare all day at bare sectoid butts, admit it you perv
>>507963627no they just look fucking dumb and lame in human clothes.if we ever met aliens IRL I would prefer they NOT suddenly begin walking around if shitty applebottoms and daisy dukes to try and "fit in" with us. you have your "fashion" and we have ours. simple as.
>>507918191Holy shit EXTERMINATE THE AYYS, RACE WAR NOW!

Downloaded Xcom1 and installed Long war. Anything I should know?
>>507963889I feel like a handshake would be a terrible thing to do in a first contact
>>507957843In game it comes across more as a mother and daughter/older and younger sister/professional mentor/AA counsellor type relationship than a romantic oneAlthough I can't say those relationship types have stopped people from wanting smut before
>>507965357It get really boring halfway through when all you do is raid large UFOs which all play out on 2 different maps
>>507949671I legit had to stop playing one night and considered reloading to the planning phase purely to save all cds/consumables for this room after choosing Coil as my first. Tried again later just reloading the encounter and managed to barely beat it though. Feels bullshit
>>507965770Ive seen dumber things in movies
>>507965770>Oh sure, just infect me with every disease ever known to mankind why don't you, go right ahead sir
>>507952934>No playable white characters, at all>Human insurgents are all white>The character art looks like god awful Tumblr shit>The writing is the absolute worst of any XCOM game and much of the character dialogue is groan worthy if it even earns a reaction in the first place.>Motto of Chimera Squad is literally Diversity Is Strength>Having any negative feelings towards the alien invaders that occupied Earth will result in a special task force knocking down your door and arresting you before sending you off to re-education camp.>Torque openly talks about eating people in a tone that is conveyed as humorous.>Ex ADVENT operative is 100% a good boy and has no capacity for evil or wrong doing at all.The concept of Chimera Squad is pretty cool but, the way in which it has been handled is frankly embarrassing and it stinks of Wokeness. That said, the game play is your standard XCOM affair, though it does feel a little easier than the other titles in the series thus far. I like the changes to the turn system and having alien squad mates (to some degree) since they have interesting abilities. What I struggle to find any enjoyment in is the setting. I've always liked the idea of alien squad mates but, rather than having interesting discussions about their race and culture or sharing old war stories that allow you to connect with them on some level, you are instead left to endure shitty quips that even Marvel writers would ditch. I was hoping for something on the level of Mass Effect 1/2 and was interested to see how human genes might interfere with these aliens and their outlook. Verge is by far the most interesting character, a sectoid who developed sympathy for humanity after he was imbued with human genes and became an informant for XCOM. The game isn't terrible and I've enjoyed it for what it is, I just can't believe that something like XCOM ended up becoming a vessel for progressive propaganda.
>>507963889What show? Any good?
>>507966996>I was hoping for something on the level of Mass Effect 1/2Come on, man. Honestly I wouldn't mind the Star Control 2 approach if only CS was funny or clever. It ain't. Never get new worlders to write banter, they can't fucking do it. Star Control 2's writers knew this.
>>507967175youtu.be
>>507966996>and having alien squad matesOnly had axiom in the end because it has a shotgun. Torque's poison was really good though and Cherub's aim+shield was great
>>507966771cant they just throw fucking bombs down there?
>>507965770doing anything would be a terrible idea during first contact due to them being aliens and most likely having 0 idea about how we do things
>>507966771I don't understand, why not just throw the spears down at them? Fucking chinks with their lack of safety standards.
>>507967376youtube.com
>>507967203What I mean by that is that the characters in Mass Effect 1/2 are believable and I can connect to them despite them being aliens. We get to hear of events from their perspective, sometimes they admit wrongdoing or how their actions aren't perceived as negative in their own culture. I don't mean that you should be able to romance them, it's just that ME is probably the best example I can give that most people will be able to understand. >>507967323I really liked Torque's abilities, especially being able to use her tongue lash to pull squad mates out of danger. Coupled with a medkit it made her very helpful. Cherub's shield is pretty handy and saved my ass a few times. Verge can become really powerful with proper use of his psionic abilities, especially if you take the options to heal at the end of your turn for however many enemies are connected to the neural network.
>watch stream of this game>dialogue is genuinely worse than borderlandswhat the fuck went wrong
>>507967369wheres the fun in that?
>>507967301Oh yeah, my friend told me this movie was fantastic. It kind of freaked me out though, because it was made in France, named after a roman emperor, based on a french comic book and published by a production company called Europe. It felt, y'know, more like a fuck you to americas grip on the movie industry than a legit thing.I do like ayys though, would you recommend it?
>>507967804the world building is interesting but the characters arent. if you can suffer insufferable terrible tropey nonsensical dialogue to get some pretty cinematography and cgi sure.
>>507967607Used Torque on my first quick playthrough to test characters so didn't get many abilities.Cherub's last ability is overpowered. Shield+aim on Bluebood made his deadeye 100% behind cover.Verge had an interesting concept but it was faster to shotgun to the face everyone.Claymore gets better with each rank.Didn't level/use the rest except for Terminal and the shotgun users
>>507967301Not even if I just want alien tits?
>>507967609I don't understand the whole quirky agent genre, did Marvel's Agents of Shield and the DC rip-off really do that well? Everyone seems to be jumping on it, like Saint's Row's Agents of Mayhem, and Chimera Squad, and more.
>>507968058Patchwork is really good too, aoe dmg, stuns and disorients and stasis to hard cc anything you want
>>507968190They knew xcom fans would get it anyway so they just tried to get the soi/woke/marvel people. As soon as I muted the voices and ignored the cutscenes, game got better, just a fun xcomlite combat mostly/minimum geo
>>507966996>Ex ADVENT operative is 100% a good boy and has no capacity for evil or wrong doing at allIsn't he one of the mind-slaves like Pratal Mox and the Skirmishers? Those guys unironically dindu nuffin and were good boiz, they were't even control of their bodies. Torque was actually in control of her body when she did Advent work, the Troopers were all mind-slaves.
*runs straight through a building like it wasn't even there**stands on its hind legs to gain height advantage*What's your favorite XCOM enemy? Mine's the latest iteration of the Sectopod.
As a half-Pajeet I actually felt sort of irritated when Claymore showed up and within like 5 seconds he's trying to show off how Indian he is before he even introduces himself. Is this how gay people feel when progressives fetishize their existence? It's pretty obnoxious.
>Xcom thread>When Firaxis literally broke the game for everyone with the update today
>>507968756Which game, La Creatura el Americano Squad? I have Enemy Within and War of the Chosen installed right now, neither of those got an update.
>>507968389I don't know how they fucked up the voices so bad. The voice modulation in 2 was fantastic. Give me 2 days in post production.
>>507968756It's been hours, FUCK.
>>507968857Xcom 2
>>507903642haha snek gf go bonk
>>507968756See, the game updated for no reason. I haven't opened the game for like a week or so? What has it broken?
>>507968962What in god's name are they updating XCOM 2 for? Bugfixes?
>>507968071I think Rhiana was in the movie but thats about it.if you want Xeno titties and I mean REAL Xeno titties then just watch the movie "Species". Its about a alien babe that comes to earth looking for hot single compatible males in her area. She is human form for the first half of the movie but towards the end it gets good. I had many cooms to that movie when I was kid and set me on the TRUE PATH. now as a grown man I would gladly lick the boots of Xenomorph queen if she would allow me.
>>507968962Oh fuck, tried to boot it up, you are right. God damnit, I just started a new playthrough like 3 days ago.
>>507968756>>507968962>Just finished XCOM 2>Wasn't as hyped on it as XCOM 1, and it was much, much buggier>Decide to not buy Chimera Squad since it's 2 but with a facelift>XCOM 2 breaks itself even furtherIs Chimera squad a buggy mess, too?
>>507969220>Is Chimera squad a buggy mess, too?Incredibly. And it's gotten a ton of new bugs recently from updates that haven't been patched out yet, most recently I heard equipment disappearing or soldiers not being able to equip better weapons.
>>507969220Yes
>>507926484Anon, that's a tegu. You literally cannot a tegu.
>>507968415That's not meant to be a dig against Cherub, it's more that the only representative we get from ADVENT pretty much has nothing to do with them. I would have found it interesting if we were paired up with a soldier that was all too happy to serve ADVENT before it collapsed. It would create interesting dynamics in character relationships, more so than a clone who is entirely pure and innocent. I like Cherub as a character, I suppose, he's just rather dull.
>>507968857War of the chosen got an update but its been rolling out different times for people. All it did was delete batch files and make the game not launch
>>507900626The game was clumsy handled but i don't expect much for 10 bucks but i enjoy the scenario where the shit is over and we need everyone to just hold this shit we call civilization together.Reminds me of old cheesy tv series alien nation.youtube.com
>>507968858Minimum resources spent, just use some interns
>>507912576I love alien version of Alex Jones.
>>507969062most people thinking a new launcher getting added. Knowing 2K/Firaxis probably adding new spyware over to harvest user data. They did the same with Civilization 5, adding a new launcher for no reason that broke th egame for most people and was harvesting user data
>>507969807>Don't listen to that charming ayy and his great points! Listen to me, fellow human
>>507969807THE HUMANS ARE PUTTING ELYRIUM IN THE WATERIT'S MAKING OUR SNAKES ENTER MATING SEASONWAKE UP SHEEPLE

>>507970054What is interesting is that he somehow survived beign stomped by crowd because in final mission which is after the radio tower cutscene he talks.
>>507969807Ayylex Jones is the best thing about chimera squad. Besides BIIIIG CRUNCH, THE CEREAL THAT WRITHES.
>>507970974Plus he knows all about the Etherals' master plan, including what's beyond them. He (She?) rose high for a Thin Man (Viper?), probably shouldn't be underestimated.
>>507971148Hey, speaker felt like he had emotions maybe Vipers have emotions too.
Why am i even bothering capturing more than 5 enemies per mission? I get no more intel and the city doesn't seem to care that i kill 30 per mission as a fucking SWAT team.
