More XCOM 2 hype!

Hassun in the comments "I'm really not a fan of the whole resistance angle"

dude that's like the coolest part of this one

 

[Jintor]

im just sad canonically everybody failed

 

[therealminime]

Having not paid any attention to XCOM 2 because I knew for sure I was going to play it, watching this Quick Look EX now and man this looks good.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

im just sad canonically everybody failed

Same. After building up such a kickass army too. I refuse to believe my fleet of robotic soldiers would be toppled so easily.

 

[Zaph]

It's great. More sequels should pick up after failing miserably.

 

[Jintor]

feb 5 huh? Hmmm... I've stayed pretty out of the loop so far. Not out of story spoilers or something... I just want to be surprised when I start.

All I really know is snake boobs

 

[Teddified]

I'll wait on x-com 2 till controller support and probably the DLC.

 

[No_Style]

Did I say how much I love Project BEAST? It's so good. The build up towards that intercepting orbit and the payoff was spectacularly GiantBomb.

You know your priorities.

Have you seen those sexy snake alien soldiers? We are all powerless against their alien half snake bosoms.

 

[Jintor]

wait, no controller support at launch?

god damnit. i played xcom on pc with a controller and it was rad. though i don't know if it was because their controls were really good or the pc controls were kind of irritating.

 

[hamchan]

Of course they did. Those overpowered alien scum get that extra move when you spot them.

Fair enough.

I've been watching it with my buddy who works in aerospace, he's been crying from laughter each episode. The "sweeping the floor" and the most recent moment have been his favorites so far.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Tharp did you lose another avatar bet?

I didn't even know about the snake boobs...

 

[TharpDaddy]

For my own dignity I won't answer this.


But yes I did.

 

[danm999]

Oh wow an XCOM 2 QL.

You guys I heard this game is SEXY.

 

[Jintor]

QLEX please don't dilute that brand

 

[danm999]

QLEX please don't dilute that brand

So sorry.

And honestly we need more titillating QLEX's.

 

[Incandenza]

It kills me that XCOM 2 doesn't have a console versipn. As it is right now I have no way to play it. 2016 is looking like a hell of a year for tactical strategy though.

 

[Chuck]

This week's Kerbal video is probably the hardest I've ever laughed watching GB video. Astounding,

Definitely needed that.

More XCOM 2 hype!

WHAT

yesyesyesyes

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Hahaha Project Beast is so good. Spoiler:

Spoiler

NOT CLOSE

when i rewinded to see just how close it really was after Austin freaking out i nearly burst out laughing when I saw the actual number

 

[Salty Catfish]

I love that all he saw was the "eight" and just assumed it was meters. Best moment of the series so far for sure.

I have not been following the game at all so this will be a good look in.

 

[justjim89]

Has Neil DeGrasse Tyson played Kerbal yet? That seems like the kind of thing the internet should have made happen by now.

 

[danm999]

Austin thought it was 8 metres away didn't he?

Given he's a proud born and raised Canadian (

Spoiler

don't dare correct me on this anyone

) I'm gonna guess he understands the metric system and got wrapped up in the insanity that it Vinny's Kerbal schemes.

Hey man that anti-Bowie stuff in the wrestling topic wasn't cool.
Edit: on second thought, let's not bring that stuff here. I'm just disappointed.

 

[BearPawB]

so hyped for x-com 2

One of the better QLEX in awhile

 

[Salty Catfish]

lol @ Brad referencing the sexy XCOM snakepeople craze

"So there's another faction that's all over social media..."

Didn't seem like the Firaxis dudes caught on.

 

[Chuck]

go on...

 

[Joeku]

I'm with you and I'm also not sure why I prefer XCOM with a controller. Something about having overwatch on Y and the deliberateness of the cursor speed, I dunno.

Still gonna rock the fuck out of XCOM 2, but I hope controller support comes back.

The whole thing is silly. Why do the snake aliens need to have tits?

 

[danm999]

I mean sure, reptiles shouldn't have breasts because their young hatch from eggs and don't require sustenance like mammals.

But on the other hand; maybe it's finally time Firaxis tapped that Deviant art crowd.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Since I haven't seen the video yet, how far away were they actually?

 

[HamPster PamPster]

This is some of the best Project BEAST cosplay I've ever seen

 

[Salty Catfish]

Since I haven't seen the video yet, how far away were they actually?

1.8 kilometers.

To be fair, in the thrill of the moment and with the game's scale it totally felt like only a few feet.

 

[Jintor]

hey man, why the snake aliens gotta have hands? if you're gonna go mammallian you might as well go full mammallian

 

[RomanticHeroX]

You couldn't pace this any better. Nearly an hour of slow buildup only for them to realize how utterly impossible their plan was in the space of about two seconds. I could not stop laughing.

 

[kvk1]

watching today's Kerbal episode totally reminded me of the West Wing

[stump sock]

yo you guys better not be talking shit about snake titties up in here

 

[justjim89]

Might as well go full Mass Effect in XCOM 3 with romance options, at that point.

[TraBuch]

Bought Punch Club because I thought it looked fairly interesting on UPF but holy shit is this stat management terrible. Like, really bad. The Stat decrease every day really needs to be toned down.

 

[User 85168]

Since I haven't seen the video yet, how far away were they actually?

About 2 kilometers. But let's be clear. It doesn't matter if they were 2 meters apart, since their two craft's relative velocities are in the kilometers per second scale in very very different directions. Any Kerbal that got off and try to grab that ladder would be splat in an instant.

yeah when someone described it as "trying to shoot a bullet with a bullet" I didn't realize at the time that they were going to be doing it... perpendicularly

God, the writing in season 2 of The West Wing is so on-point.

ah plague of gripes, just another way the SBF can work their way into everything

X-Com 2 looks rad
