Honestly he looks more at home at a convention, much like the OG X com guys. They just looked more 90s.

My point entirely is that both EU/W and XCOM2 traded the superhero/cartoon aesthetic from the 1994 original for some incredibly tacky, green as gently caress, milporn costumes that would look more at home on the box art sitting next to COD or whatever.

I don't know how to break it to you, but XCOM has always been milporn. They just went from wearing 1980's/90's battledress to wearing modern battledress.

The original XCOM '94 was going for an anime/manga look, actually.

It said so in the list of features in the readme that came with the demo, and a readme would never lie.

the aesthetic in original xcom sucked, except for that ridiculous haircut. Which was also in the modern Xcom

These are all like existing things and patterns guys I'm not imagining this. It's a pretty big tonal shift from the original, like the Marines from Aliens except minus the irony.

Your opinions are awful and if you think massive guns and rag-tag armors are stupid you should reconsider your life choices.



This is rad and invalidates everything you just said. hth

Highly qualified lurker.
My theory is that Woozy is confused as gently caress by actual, real-life soldiers looking increasingly like stylised comic-book sci-fi bullshit and this is throwing his calibration way out of whack.

Holy gently caress I need to model my nerf gun after a laser rifle, mine even has a charge-up noise from the rifling-turbine I could sync with the glowy bits...
