In a simulation scenario, EXALT are there to remove your inhibitions about using lethal force on humans, instead of just aliens.

Oh gosh, I didnt watch the intro before, but I am sure the GENE THERAPY thing the aliens are doing is definitely purely beneficial and not some kind of evil trojan horse.

Cool. quote:Game Engine – using Unity3D will give us a much more capable platform for development than our previous engine, so expect fewer bugs, improved performance, better modding support, etc Coooool.

Benefit of having 160mbps download is being able to download this in less than an hour right now and still have to wait an hour to actually unlock the fucker on the day because everyone else is doing it.

One review skirted around details, but semi-spoiled/confirmed what a lot of people had been theorizing regarding the prequel novel. Word is that poo poo Gets Real in the latter half of the campaign and a whole new set of alien enemies come into play. I'm guessing stuff from the quarantine zones mentioned? Seems that it'll be a more interesting and varied campaign than the first for sure.

I am glad that we finally have a game that shows its support by having Trans snake characters I sexually identify as a XFS-105 Raven Interceptor. I have finally found the strength to admit it. I was 12 years old when I realized that I’m not really a man at heart, but rather a 19 foot, 10.5 inch long gatling gun strapped onto a 24,959 pound airframe. All my life has been a lie but I’m setting that right today. I was designed to kill Alien Supply Barges. From now on, call me “Raven-1.” That’s my real name. I’m having plastic surgeons attach a Phoenix 30 milimeter rotary Cannon, 1,200 pounds of titanium armor, and two TF34-GE-100 Elerium Afterburners to my body. Central Officer Bradford said I’m loving stupid and I can’t be a jet, but I’m beautiful and I am a goddamn jet. If XCOM won’t pay for me to get the surgery, I’m just going to bring in Code Pink and point out that that Manning loser is getting hormones and he’s in a gene clinic so why shouldn’t a perfectly well-adjusted and honorably serving soldier have the right to be who they truly are, a metal killing machine? I am so sick and tired of being oppressed. Now we Ravens are on the Council's chopping block. It’s sickening to see all the white cisgender nazi shitlords literally raping my people with their actions. It’s my right to spray 2,100 to 4,200 depleted uranium rounds per minute at both soft and hard targets and if you don’t support me and my transformation then you’re an aerialphobe and need to check your weapon platform privilege.

E: ^^^^ loving magical.Zaphod42 posted:What's wrong with human psi? X-COM UFO Defense / UFO: Enemy Unknown had psi humans. I like humans having psionics! Its a really cool power set but Xenonauts omitting them also opened up more wiggle room to give the alien's one last great weapon... and for you to feel really good about slugging said weapon in the face with a mag cannon because we overcome the Praetor's with superior technology.
