Aliens

In the event of an alien attack, which group would you trust to handle things - The Earth Defence Force or X-Com?

Also, why is the alien invasion genre so woefully under-represented? We've got so many zombie invasion games that they're coming out of our ears, but aliens? Barely anything of value.

...

Aliens. A species able to interstellar travelling can't be so degenerate they'd lose the war.

EDF easy.

Xcom is a small elite infantry squad who takes on alien infantry that is usually few in number. They wouldn't be able to do shit to the ravagers when they send a light scouting force consisting of hundreds of giant insects. They are also only one small force and therefore easily taken out.

The EDF is a massive global goverment, it is humanity. They have access to humanities strongest weapons and are not afraid to use them. Xcom send a highly trained commando to miss a shot at 90% accuracy, the EDF will send a hundred soldiers to blanket an entire area with gunfire followed by air strikes and artillary.

The aliens in Xcom would get completely purged if they tried to fight the EDF.

EDF EDF EDF!!!

superior technology alone doesn't win wars.

EDF, hands down


Aliens are gay nerds

Don't forget motivation either


Meanwhile

Lobbing rocks from the orbit does.

>you will never play a space MMO set during the Fall of Reach or Covenant Civil War

...

Yes it does, that said my money is on EDF

X-com fucking lost in their own series, are you retarded?

...

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK

FROM VICIOUS GIANT INSECTS WHO HAVE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK

Since it's pretty clear that EDF is the better of the two, how about this:

What game franchises could benefit from an EDF crossover?

My vote goes towards Ace Combat.

WE'LL UNLEASH ALL OUR FORCES, WE WON'T CUT THEM ANY SLACK

THE EDF DEPLOYS

Ahem.

Thats not EDF or XCOM
Try not to turn this into a shit powerlevel thread

...

To be fair, that'd be comparing thousands to millions upon millions of soldiers which, to be fair, those millions are scattered across countless many worlds.
I don't think you could get that great of a comparison between the EDF and the Imperial guard. Lasguns do beat assault rifles though.
The Imperial Guard may well be the superior force but who knows where the EDF will be by the 40th millennium given how often the Ravagers invade

This is how threads die

You know, 40K would be the best thing ever if it didn't have "technology", silly things like females on the front, and such shit people involved with it.

Id rather play Russian Roullete

Do it in the Vostroyan then, or you'll be playing a fixed match against the Commissar.

Spoiler; he'll win.

Destroy All Humans
The entirety of the EDF against Crypto? I'd buy that on launch day.

Okay, user. You're starting to get tabletop autistic. Cease with the obscure pop-culture references.

...

Nice tricky question OP!

Well, when the last time i checked X-Com lost Earth and we got X-Com 2.

average EDF kills hundreds of bugs within one mission

x-com soldier can't even shoot one at point blank

glorious nippon technology > western sjwcracy of web startups

Obscure pop-culture, at that.

...

Yes, user. Obscure pop-culture.

If you want to be a faggot, then hipster culture.

Is that a joke question?

...

I'm calling 40k pretentious hipster bullshit.

heresy spess mehreen commissar fuklaw

I like my lewds and badass stupid shit, but that's just fucking retarded.

Just as predicted, 40k user fucked over the thread.

What you're doing is being an unbelievably retarded faggot.

You single-handedly BTFO the 40k faggots. Congrats and prepare for the butthurt swarm!

You are fucking retarded. It's a staple in the series.

Your avatarfagging is only proving me further, user. Cease this autism.

It's bound to happen, sooner or later.

...

It's not a very good staple to have. Anyways, anybody have a screenshot of that some shitty korean scifi mmo where the female exosuit looks like a naked woman strapped in front of a mech?

This is the only correct answer. Congratulations.

It's actually a good one because it mixes well with the humor of the series.

Okay, I guess it works in humor. Kinda like the bikini armor in Divinity series.

Bikini armor works in fucking Conan, one of the darkest low fantasy setting.

Are you one of those muh unrealistic armor fag?

Ok, sure, now I'm convinced you're just some baiting faggot. Congratulations. Be sure to make some witty comment in reply, and feel free to imagine I'm not replying to it because you ebinly owned me over it.

I didnt even know that shit existed and I understood the reference, kill yourself you purposely obtuse baiting fuck


>>>/tumblr/
Where the fuck are you goons coming from?

We should save up Dead or Alive Xtrme webm specifically for those faggots.

Sex scares them.

>>>/tg/

There are more 40K games than Starcraft nowadays.

Just for good measure


Filtered :)

XCOM doesnt even have airstrikes

Yet SC remains the more popular one. In the end, 40k is only the "I'm not a normalfag" option, mostly taken by hipsters who save images and reaction images while pretending they've read it all.

You forgot your spoiler.

I'm banging dem drums already.

XCOM any day baby

40K will overtake SC.

SC2 is dying and is only powered by esport, its enthusiam is dead. Just like Star Wars.

I know this is stale bait but:

Don't need air strikes when you have blaster bombs.

Yes, but it will only become normalfaggot trash, in the end.

How do you avoid this wicked process? By actually being good, of course.

40K is already pretty normalfag

That symbol wasn't dollars, it's some currency that probably symbolized millions

Not enough to warrant it to be called "normalfag".

Wait until you see an off-brand t-shirt.

EDF, hands down.

Why not both?

Though it kinda sucks that you cant change armor and shit, even if its just for the looks, I wished they added this, or maybe small perks for different armor outfits. Like 10% health increase or run 15% faster etc small shit but nothing too deep.

I like how the xcom setting is, but you're comparing a world force + the world economy of soldiers vs a small group of small funded soldiers.

the EDF guys are all lunatics with giant peckers who don't fear collateral damage

Xcom guys would miss the broad side of a barn with a shotgun blast then have a panic attack and die

It's conveniently rebuilt the next mission so it's okay.

Anyways, EDF easily wins with how much of a one-man army a simple ranger could be.

This lad.

Zombies sell because they reach the largest demographic.

EDF fights the kajiu.
'nuff said.

...

You get to fly escort for bombers and transports dropping wing divers and tanks and giant robots. Or do the bombing runs yourself. Fly through giant alien battleships blasting everything in sight, then blowing a hole through the hull and flying out of the exploding, falling craft. I would totally plaster a wing diver pinup girl on my fighter plane. That would be pretty fuckin' sweet.

EDF fights entire kajiu platoon

Sci Fi is woefully under-represented. I grew up in the 80s, when the hope for the future was at its zenith; now nobody gives a shit about space, technology, or improvement of ourselves as a species.

My only comfort is knowing that I'll eventually die and I won't have to live with anymore of this shit

this is not some fantasy game where covering boobs with armor seems logical, we're talking about game where you fight 10 meter high ants and plasma guns will melt you instantly so it makes no difference whether you go fight aliens with your boobs out or not

nowadays people's dreams and hopes seem to be about muh equality and muh freedom to cut off your dick and becoming a manslut

as far as normalfags care we're already in sci-fi minus going to space and busty anime androids

That's basically Star Trek, isn't it?

yeah, but after going to space

...

The ones packing the Genocide Gun, obviously.

The Imperium lost a whole fourth of its territory in recent fluff.

Aliens are for nerds. Zombies are for Nerds™.

...

You know what else is even more woefully underrepresented? Playing as aliens.

don't forget playing as zombies

I want to say EDF, but if they're anything like me they'll demolish tons of buildings while they fight.

You're implying XCOM doesn't demolish the shit out of everything while fighting ayys either.

I haven't played a whole lot of XCOM to be honest, but it seemed like the destruction they cause is on a smaller scale at least. I could be totally wrong though.

/r/ing the XCOM screenshots were everything is firebombed

Hnnng I didnt realize I wanted this so bad until now holy fuck

40k is pretentious image board bullshit

Has been and always will be

Careful not to fall for it

That was a fun thread

If you're talking firaxis, then yeah. XCOM's a bunch of pussies who can only carry two grenades at a time. But still considering how OP explosives are in the game(nice going firaxis, you've made them OP twice in a row) you'll still probably blow shit up.

Micropose XCOM, anything's lucky to be standing after you're done with it

Those are Space COSSACKS


Vallahllens are space RUSSIANS

But explosions were always OP.

Its the little things for me

This man speaks truth.

You rang?

That was a good movie.

we live in a cyberpunk novel, the megacorps own you.
