Reporting for duty.

I don't have this game and I really want to see how this game stands up to the first one, oh and see how many ~~poor bastards~~ heroes will die for our planet.

I will never fail to be amused that the only translation of X-COM's motto is bad latin for, essentially, "Hold my beer and watch this!"

FTFY.

There's no rest for the Commander, looking forward to the end of the tutorial.

Yay, my boy got first blood outside the tutorial. Sorry for stealing Angry Lobster's combat drone

(incidentally apparently it's "kai-uh-fass" but I've long since stopped caring )

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THAT PUNCHING IS NOT AN APPROVED HACKING METHOD AND I'LL NEVER BE PROMOTED TO SUPPORT? MY DREAM IS RUINED!

gently caress THIS, GONNA BLOW SOME poo poo UP!

Angry Lobster, simultaneously the Resistance's Greatest and Worst hero.

I'm happy and sad at the same time

Also, good job with the armor Jade Star, it looks spiky as heck.

I hope all operations names are as good as this one. A shame Chiaphas didn't get the hacking bonus, but I can't complain too much anyway, I shooted a sectoid in the junk, so great success.

Man Whore stole the spotlight despite being horrible.

Meanwhile, Ciaphas mowed down like, 3 enemies, all with critical shots. Definitely a Gift Horse.

Oh yeah, Manwhore is a heck of a special snowflake, meanwhile sergeant Ciaphas silently goes like usual and hoards xp by being badass.

Inspired by this I've reinstalled the first game, I've never finished because my original saves in classic difficulty got corrupted just before the final mission and gived up. Today I started a bew game and anfter several succesful missions, I had to repeat the same mission due to the game bugging. gently caress this, JAIDS everywhere.

Alessandra is so lucky to be alive, I love how she can't hit anything with the rifle but she's lethal with the pistol.

Alessandra Snap Shot Margottini.
Chris CatnapGasmask.

I abstain to vote for my own dude.

What is this a reference to? And is the Cruise Ship another reference or just funny because people eat lobsters on them?

In X-Com Terror from the Deep Cruise Ships, Lobsterman eat you.

X-Com Apocalypse has a lot of flaws, but the terrain destruction engine is not one of them, it's the Red Faction: Guerrilla of the X-Com saga.

I love Hulk Hogan, he's not good at shooting, he missed Julian's Sectopod at point blank range, but he's incredibly good at choping aliens with his sword.

That makes me think, what's his background? I like to imagine his passion was cooking and his secret amibition to become the Iron Chef, so he practised his knife skills hard, but then the Aliens appeared and invaded our world. The new Advent regime developed new meal pills, rendering traditional cooking obsolete and crushing Hogan's dreams into dust. Armed only with his seething rage and awesome knife skills, Hogan joined the Resistance, ready to fight for Humanity.

Hogan going wild is awesome, but Man Whore is still the best.

Also, you should take Wrecking Ball for Julian, it sounds just too fun to go around and destroy everything Apocalypse style.
