The latest article made it seem pretty clear that all Sectoids are now bulkified, which is depressing because I will really miss shooting anorexic goblins.

Lack of Gravitas posted:Pretty much this. Three-quarters of the playerbase didn't even beat the game once, even on the easiest difficulty. To be fair, I think I got two copies of X-COM as part of pre-order promos (including the Bureau  ) which I gave to mates who just are not that into it.AnonSpore posted:Living... aliens?

Nerds on the internet being nerds on the internet, the intrusion of females into the domain of the grogs and spergs was met with a response as confused as it is vocal.

While I know it's probably not going to be the case, I think it would be cool if you could manage a to wrangle legit co-existence instead of an either/or of Subjugation vs extermination. Even if it took a hell of a lot of bullshit to pull off that would make the average hardened  enthusiast have a heart attack.Though that's just some wishful thinking on my part. Burning it all to the ground will also work out for me. I really hope there is actual launch modding support, because there are just so many cases of promises of mod support just getting loving dropped these days even by those who really intended for there to be such. But the game is probably gonna be pretty cool with or without mod stuff.

Famethrowa posted:calling it now, abducted humans were fused with sectoids. IGN posted:Case in point: the Sectoids have taken this opportunity to incorporate human DNA into their own, rapidly changing their species from four-foot-tall imps into imposing seven-foot-tall monsters with beady eyes and a brand-new set of unsettling pearly whites. Worse, they’ve enhanced their psionic abilities to include mind control from the get-go, making them extremely dangerous for any one soldier to take on by themselves. Despite their more human-like legs, Sectoids have apparently not yet evolved the ability to wear pants, but still have greyish-pink skin and an otherworldly glow emanating from their internal organs. Though we saw an XCOM Ranger slice through a Sectoid with a melee attack in the trailer, Solomon assured me that a move like that would only be possible in-game if the Sectoid had already been softened up.

So I guess they took all the muscle-y men and fused them into Swoletoids, and took all the flex-y women and made snakes out of

Internet Kraken posted:I'm actually glad they decided to say this game follows up your failed campaigns. I don't like it when a game makes me lose offscreen to set up the sequel. To be told "yeah you saved earth but then even MORE aliens showed up and kicked your rear end" just feels cheap. I think 'the first game literally didn't happen' is cheaper.

Dan Didio posted:I think 'the first game literally didn't happen' is cheaper. There are millions of games of XCOM in the parallel universes. Obviously THE canon game, XCOM Prime, we might call it, is the one which I played and won on classic ironman, where the Volunteer was a blonde, guile-haired sniper named Isaac Asimov, who had been with me since the first mission. Firaxis has decided not to go with the XCOM Prime universe, probably because of lawsuit threats from the estate of the late, lamented Asimov. Instead they're basing the sequel off a parallel shard inspired by one of the games you played. The one you rage quit that one time. You know which one I'm talking about. Don't worry, XCOM Prime still happened, and is a peaceful and prosperous universe. Yours just provided more narrative tension for a sequel.
