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.
Joshua Peterson
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!!!
Evan White
superior technology alone doesn't win wars.
Alexander Allen
EDF, hands down
Aliens are gay nerds
Jose Bell
Don't forget motivation either
Meanwhile
Nathaniel Martinez
Lobbing rocks from the orbit does.

Wyatt Barnes
Yes it does, that said my money is on EDF
Lucas Brooks
X-com fucking lost in their own series, are you retarded?

TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK
Jayden Nguyen
FROM VICIOUS GIANT INSECTS WHO HAVE ONCE AGAIN COME BACK
Logan Robinson
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.
Blake Torres
WE'LL UNLEASH ALL OUR FORCES, WE WON'T CUT THEM ANY SLACK
Lucas Wilson
THE EDF DEPLOYS
Jack Gutierrez
Ahem.
Anthony Cruz
Thats not EDF or XCOM Try not to turn this into a shit powerlevel thread
Brandon Howard

Justin Gutierrez
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
Asher Taylor
This is how threads die
Michael Kelly
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.
Nolan Johnson
Id rather play Russian Roullete
Nicholas Allen
Do it in the Vostroyan then, or you'll be playing a fixed match against the Commissar.
Spoiler; he'll win.
Lincoln White
Destroy All Humans The entirety of the EDF against Crypto? I'd buy that on launch day.
Jace Phillips
Okay, user. You're starting to get tabletop autistic. Cease with the obscure pop-culture references.
Nolan Cruz
...
Levi Taylor
Nice tricky question OP!
Well, when the last time i checked X-Com lost Earth and we got X-Com 2.
Blake Gomez
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
Jonathan Barnes
Obscure pop-culture, at that.
Sebastian Murphy
...
Leo Cox
Yes, user. Obscure pop-culture.
If you want to be a faggot, then hipster culture.
Jaxson Hernandez
Is that a joke question?
Wyatt Lee
...
Xavier Davis
I'm calling 40k pretentious hipster bullshit.
heresy spess mehreen commissar fuklaw
Landon Anderson
I like my lewds and badass stupid shit, but that's just fucking retarded.
Jeremiah Miller
Just as predicted, 40k user fucked over the thread.
Thomas Robinson
What you're doing is being an unbelievably retarded faggot.
Luke Nelson
You single-handedly BTFO the 40k faggots. Congrats and prepare for the butthurt swarm!
Camden Watson
You are fucking retarded. It's a staple in the series.
Jose Lee
Your avatarfagging is only proving me further, user. Cease this autism.
It's bound to happen, sooner or later.
Cameron Flores
...
Connor Brown
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?
Jackson Wilson
This is the only correct answer. Congratulations.
David Evans
It's actually a good one because it mixes well with the humor of the series.
Justin Jones
Okay, I guess it works in humor. Kinda like the bikini armor in Divinity series.
Gabriel Baker
Bikini armor works in fucking Conan, one of the darkest low fantasy setting.
Are you one of those muh unrealistic armor fag?
Charles Cruz
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.
Hudson Evans
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?
Hudson Taylor
We should save up Dead or Alive Xtrme webm specifically for those faggots.
Sex scares them.
James Cooper

Easton White
There are more 40K games than Starcraft nowadays.
Brody Bell
Just for good measure
Filtered :)
Owen Long
XCOM doesnt even have airstrikes
Noah Jones
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.
Oliver Evans
I'm banging dem drums already.
Brayden Long
XCOM any day baby
Julian Green
40K will overtake SC.
SC2 is dying and is only powered by esport, its enthusiam is dead. Just like Star Wars.
Samuel Watson
I know this is stale bait but:
Austin Fisher
Don't need air strikes when you have blaster bombs.
Bentley Miller
Yes, but it will only become normalfaggot trash, in the end.
How do you avoid this wicked process? By actually being good, of course.
Juan Watson
40K is already pretty normalfag
Luis Garcia
That symbol wasn't dollars, it's some currency that probably symbolized millions
Gabriel Edwards
Not enough to warrant it to be called "normalfag".
Wait until you see an off-brand t-shirt.
Isaiah Rogers
EDF, hands down.
Joshua Green
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.
Jason Bennett
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
Grayson Nguyen
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.
Hudson Ramirez
This lad.
Zombies sell because they reach the largest demographic.
Ayden Martinez
EDF fights the kajiu. 'nuff said.
Angel Fisher
...
Ethan Gray
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.
Jacob Rivera
EDF fights entire kajiu platoon
Jaxson Cruz
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
Kevin Ramirez
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
Kayden Hernandez
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
Lincoln Garcia
That's basically Star Trek, isn't it?
Ayden Smith
yeah, but after going to space
Jordan Adams
...
Matthew Clark
The ones packing the Genocide Gun, obviously.
Sebastian Diaz
The Imperium lost a whole fourth of its territory in recent fluff.
Isaiah Bailey
Aliens are for nerds. Zombies are for Nerds™.
Benjamin Moore
...
Camden Miller
You know what else is even more woefully underrepresented? Playing as aliens.
Christian James
don't forget playing as zombies
Ryan Rogers
I want to say EDF, but if they're anything like me they'll demolish tons of buildings while they fight.
Kayden Garcia
You're implying XCOM doesn't demolish the shit out of everything while fighting ayys either.
Asher Fisher
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.
Caleb Morales
/r/ing the XCOM screenshots were everything is firebombed
Brandon Flores
Hnnng I didnt realize I wanted this so bad until now holy fuck
Joshua Howard
40k is pretentious image board bullshit
Has been and always will be
Gabriel White
Careful not to fall for it
Ayden Gonzalez
That was a fun thread
Parker Hughes
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
Oliver Taylor
Those are Space COSSACKS
Vallahllens are space RUSSIANS
David Hill
But explosions were always OP.
Dominic Smith
Its the little things for me
Zachary Jones
This man speaks truth.
Parker Bennett
You rang?
Michael Evans
That was a good movie.
Mason Morris
we live in a cyberpunk novel, the megacorps own you.
