Why does a snake need a hat
it's their religion
What about a sweater
Why does a primate need a hat
>>739006551Kratos killed a lot of these in Ascension.
>>739006551I can't believe she's just going around with her snussy out like that.
So the aliens invade earth and kill countless people and then suddenly we're all hunky dory when the Elders are gone?
>>739006362i never even realized it was a hat
>>739006362She is my favourite Earthling.
maybe she just likes the fucking hat
>>739009445They ate humans too.
>>739010351Fucking aliens, ruined Earth. Anyone got that pic of her?
>>739009445Well, most of the alien forces were being mind-controlled via psionics and combat drugs, so they're pretty chill otherwise. Plus, with the human population decimated, Earth needs everyone on the planet ready to fight the Elders if and when they return.
>>739009445Viper strip clubs do wonders
>>739010873That fucking sectoid's face pisses me off so much, the XCOM2 sectoid is 10/10 creature design & the made-of-skulls bust is top 3 key art in any video game ever. So let's make him gay with pouty lips fuck everything that was cool,
If I take it off will she die?
>>739013090Even worse, anon, you'll have to marry her.
>>739009445Apparently it's really bad outside of City 31. That city is supposed to be an example of how to do it, and the world outside is basically run by human and non-human Dirlewanger brigades killing each other.
>>739010873I got you senpai.
>>739006362HEEB SNAKE
>>739006362I want to slither my snake into her snake hole.
>>739006362>>739006476oy vey
I want to have a snake wife but I really don't want to fucking play chimera swuad
Is there a compilation of the background art of Chimera Squad? I always thought that was really interesting.
So is Chimera Squad any good or should I just replay XCOM for the umpteenth time?
>>739009445
>>739015830it's neat to play once, it's quite different. Some of the characters are too goofy for my taste, but i like the idea of aliens and humans basically figuring out how to continue now.I hope they take the setting and use it when Xcom 3 comes out which is never.
>>739006362Ever heard of a uniform you fucking retard
>>739015780I have 4 other images of Alien ads.
>>739018481The ones on the right remind me of Mistah Sparkle, fishbulb of Nihon.
>>739018842MISTAH SPARKURUUUUUUUU
>>739018481
>>739006551she would overheat>b-but cold blooded!NOcoldblooded animals have an internal body structure that promotes low muscle activity. as in: coldblooded animals have blood systems that mixes their CO2 rich and O2 rich blood for more O2 absorption, but it leaves them with less energy for intense muscle activity due to the CO2 chugging around.Vipers are what, 300kg, 15 feet monsters?if she so much as moves and speaks as fast as a human woman constantly it means that her muscles are very active. which means ridiculous body heat because vipers are incredibly muscular. just look at that tail.Vipers are not cold blooded. she would overheat.
>>739006362why the fuck not?let the snake have a hat
>>739006362Are YOU gonna be the idiot that tries to take it off her?
>>739006362Isn't it an armor plate clamped to her skull or something? Basically her version of a helmet, since she can't fit a normal one on.
>>739010351Calm down, vorefag. She's obviously teasing him.
>>739021178What is she going to do? wrap me in her big meaty tail?
Chimera Squad could have really worked. But it needed to be treated as X COM 3 and given the same time and money.
>>739019475snek sexo
>>739022192To me, this ad is hotter than the stripper sign. Man, just imagine living in a world where you could be chilling at a resort next to viper like her. Considering the phrase “A getaway that’s out of this world,” you wonder who the intended audience is. My guess is wealthy xenophiles
>>739009445aliens will kill our leaderships, CEOs and anyone with a position of power. Then they will turn Earth into a farm world to produce resources and food making 100% of human population to be farmers.It's awful, man!
>>739022906The only thing the aliens took was people, to cure their space cancer or something like that. So, in a way, they’re just another bunch of CEOs and politicians.
>>739006362Head gets cold at night
>>739009445After the US won the Revolutionary War, 2/3rd of the Hessian mercenaries simply decided to stay and settle some land in the New World. The USA welcomed them with open arms.Not only that, loads of Germans who were shipped to POW camps in the USA during WWI and WWII just stayed in the US once the war was over.
>>739022192They knew their audience.Compare her to the male snek doctor, who isn't appealing at all.
>>739006362sex
>>739009445A lot of the aliens weren't interested in fighting and were only doing so because they were enslaved by the Elders. But if XCOM tried to do total ayy genocide, the aliens would obviously have no choice but to fight to the last. XCOM decided that they didn't need to fight a second intractable war immediately after wrapping up the last one, especially given that the "enemy" this time is largely willing to live under their rule without issue. It's taking "yes" for an answer.
>>739022906Oh boy, the entire planet becomes a giant commune where if you don't work you don't eat. Sounds like a certain political philosophy that killed a few hundred million last century.
>>739015780Someone made an imgur album of all of it. Don't have the link, but I did save the images in the album.

>>739030015I also recall there being heating stones and egg incubators for the Vipers on some maps. Many implications...
>>739023543>They knew their audience.If they truly knew their audience, they would have made snakefuckery at the core of the game and not "MUH DUHVERSITY!"A couple throwaway neon signs in the background is scratching the surface of what I want.

>>739030086Just wait for XCOM 3 bro trust
Why did the background artists for this game decide to put so much pure, soulful effort into a game nobody wanted or asked for? Seriously man, look at all this quality shit, what the fuck.
>>739031349Talented artists in service of stupid management. Probably happens a lot.
>>739016727Xcom with multispecies recruits could be kino but it would also be pretty hard to balance.
>>739032064Apocalypse managed it with mutants and cyborgs.
>>739030749Fuck I wish.
>>739027835if all male vipers are dead, where are these eggs coming from?
>>739032823Do you really have to ask
>>739006362I never played Xcom 2. Aren't we supposed to kill aliens?
>>739032208Yeah but there were fewer races and no classes (which are kind of foundational to nuXcom)
>>739027592>>739030061Nice. I've been wanting to see these up-close for a while now.
Would it be possible to have kids with your snakewife?Not too familiar with xcom lore, maybe some kind of gene fuckery?
>>739035393Probably? The first game had near-human Thin Men created from Viper DNA, and the second game is all about the aliens harvesting human DNA for their own purposes (including creating a new breed of sectoid), so I wouldn't be surprised if all the rampant gene-editing the Elders did over the war and the occupation made crossbreeding a possibility.
>>739031349I think you’re overestimating just how much people didn’t want this game. It was never marketed as XCOM 3, and it was to be expected that they’d be working on spin-offs
>>739023543Isn't there a post a dev made or something where he's TOTALLY shocked that people find the vipers attractive and definitely had no idea whatsoever when making the animations that people would?
>>739006362more accurate question would be why do snakes need tits?
>>739036876I refuse to have this conversation again.
>>739036876Part human dna
>>739036876Vipers were bioengineered with human DNA.
>>739036876Their genes were edited by intergalactic snekbra salesmen. They paid off the Elders and everything!
>>739036876Looky looky, another biology 101fag thinks he's asking the important questions.
Aww sweet, “Heirs to the Elders” updated. I’ve been going through snekfic withdrawal.
>>739036826Jake Solomon, yeah.
>>739006362you ever think because of their history picrel happens
>>739039275This is pure "saving face." If you add tits to ANYTHING, you've created a fetish shared by many.
>>739015830I thought it was kind of weak to be honest. If you like xcom and can get it for dirt-cheap then sure.My worst gripe is that the game punishes you for clearing enemies too quickly by making reinforcements arrive earlier than they would have showed up if you left the last enemy alive. Particularly annoying when you're trying to evacuate and it shuffles in a bunch of enemy turns to try and get some cheap shots in as you leave.
>>739013579It also isn't that great in City 31
>>739009445XCOM 2 establishes that every race under the Ethereals was conquered both through psychic manipulation, genetic experimentation, and cybernetics. They were in the process of doing this to humanity.It's been a long while since I played, but the only race that joined semi-willingly to my knowledge was the Sectoids, who were established to be cowardly brutalists.
All ayys can get the fuck off my damn planetI fought in the first invasion and I engaged in multiple bombing on gene clinics across the globeVipers can stay tho
>>739006362Same VA as Loona and Kit btw, this bitch has a knack for always voicing goon queens.
>>739021974just see it as a test run before actual XCOM 3
>>739023372tbf Hessen was effectively a police state so we were paradise by comparison, it's easy to see why they didn't want to go back. But at the same time, they thought we were whiny entitled bitches who had no idea what real oppression looked like.
>>739015830If it's on sale then it's worth 1 playthrough, though they actively encourage multiple playthroughs since you're not allowed to get every squad member in one go, you have to pick and choose.
>>739009445No, excessively not. The whole game is throating 3 semi separate attempts of different alien factions trying to blow up the city just because they are not liking it that much.
Do Vypers consider as earthlings now?
>>739031349Being a background artist is often a thankless job but that doesn't mean they're devoid of passion.
>>739029732brutal mog
>>739006362It's called kippa->>739006476Fippy-bippy
>>739036065>The first game had near-human Thin Men created from Viper DNAFor some dumb reason I always assumed they just shoved the viper in a skin suit, more or less.
Goddamm it theres a snek thread on /v/ and im about to go to bedFuck work and fuck life why are sneks not real
>>739036876to make my penis become the big penis
>>739019475>they didnt make a changling character>Torque would never call that character to his face that he looks and smells like he is made of asscracks >That character cannot spend five minutes forming a reply on a child's speak and spell that at least he has asscracks.
So if a human knocks up a Viper, does it make a viper with more human features, a human with viper features, or do they do half and half and basically just give us lamia from Daily Life With Monstergirls?
>>739040498For some reason it didn't post my pic
>>739028219I had not seen this one before!
>>739009445Chimera Squad is explicitly an experiment by the city to see if humans and aliens can get along, because its not working out anywhere else.
>>739029791>do not eat cats please>do not eat themIts hilarious to see the propaganda telling the aliens ro try to fit in human society.
>>739039958>just see it as a test run before actual XCOM 3Probably not happening ever at this rate. 10 years since XCOM 2 btw.
>>739040820>10 years since XCOM 2 btw.And yet it STILL has slowdowns even with my much newer PC bruteforcing the old performance problems
>>739040498For me, it's more vipers. Purely because otherwise it wouldn't be paying things forward to future generations.
>>739031349I imagine a bit of the validation was that there would be expansions and they could reuse the assets. Also since the maps were random piece generations or whatever the more background assets meant it was more variety seemingly for the player.
>>739040883>I hope my child is a Viper, because then some lucky human bastard in the future will also get to fuck a ViperThe most based form of cuckoldry we've ever witnessed?
>>739032064They already let women in so they cant do any worse.
>>739015830I liked it but I'm in the minority. Fun little spin-off game with a couple of neat ideas (I liked breaching rooms for example) at the expense of squad customisation and overall challenge. IIRC it launched as a budget game so don't expect Xcom 3
>>739041091Would you, anon, having experienced the tender, scaly embrace of a loving snakewife, wish to pull that most blessed ladder up behind you?
>>739041836You'd need the system to be 50% male human births though, otherwise you're gonna lead to human extinction because men aren't gonna go back.
>>739039931She also voices Silver in Deadlock.
Whenever I play xcom 2 I download the Torque mod and bond her with my self insert soldier
People say the story of chimera swuad is ass and while I agree it's not like the story was any better in the other two games.She the lore is cool but the way it's told is really fucking amateurish.
Does Kill Team play like XCOM? I'm interested in trying it.
>>739043021I'm too poor to buy Warhammer but I suppose
>>739043012Xcom has always been goofy. Xcom 2 was a bit of a detour in that it was a bit darker
>>739043332I think you mean enemy unknown. That game was much more grounded and focused and hell was even a horror game at times. Xcom 2 was actually a lot lighter and more red dawn coded
>>739043501Xcom 2 had people being melted into goo in concentration camps
>/v/ suddenly wants to fuck snakes now
How is the xcom2 viper mods?
>>739045025>suddenly
>>739045025>>739045236>now
>>739009445Chimera squad's setting is a bit retarded and speedruns and interesting time-period the XCOM universe. I don't mind having a fixed cast. Just set it directly after second game and twist the premise so that you're now playing post-ADVENT aliens on the run, trying to survive in a world they no control and grappling with free will. In place of the Avatar Project you have the escalation of of XCOM's crackdown depending on what missions you take, whether your aliens are out to survive or out for revenge. Culminate the game when you find an contingency plot by the Elders to destroy Earth and then you have the choice to fulfill your revenge or enarmor yourselves to XCOM.
>>739028540It was canon all along?!
>>739012717Sectoid looks more classic Sectoid now besides height. I'm more annoyed it's only Verge who got the model but other Sectoids didn't. Other alien redesigns like the Mutons though are fucking bad.
>>739031349This is the true danger of woke. The XCOM remakes and sequels were works of passion, and clearly at least a few tried to make Chimera Squad the best game in the franchise, but they were mishandled by the woke crowd taking charge and prioritizing the agenda. I'm OK with XCOM being a little woke; it's a recurring idea throughout the franchise that even if humanity wins they've been changed so much by the invasion that we're barely even human anymore, but Chimera Squad feels like if 4 college women were assigned to write a takedown of white men.
>>739015830It's fine. Very blatantly like a Phantom Pain for XCOM before XCOM 3. The music is fucking amazing.
>>739012717I have to assume it was inspired by the goombas in the mario movie. Taking the weakest enemy and making them weird humanoids.
>>739031349>>739009445>core premise of XCOM is mankind fighting back from the brink as they are being genocided, mutilated, and mutated by hostile aliens >they do so through guerilla warfare and adapting alien technology/biology to their benefit >completely logical through-line that they would seek to turn the enslaved troops against their masters, even if it just starts with helping their own peopleIt's a crying shame they took that and did Chimera Squad. Great premise of all these disparate species trying to recover from so much atrocity and psyop propaganda, banding together not out really of love and acceptance but a pragmatic desire to escape the chains. That's why the concept artist felt inspired. Perfect material for a branching narrative too.
>>739028386Put the fries in the bag!
>Chimera Squad has a faction that believes XCOM didnt go far enough in eradicating aliens>They have aliens in their ranks themselves
>>739047274I mean some might not want eradication but rather enslavement. Both are equally bad. It not that far to jump from "humanity is the best and alien deserve to be kill" to "human is the best and alien deserve to be enslaved"
>>739047274Yes and most american /pol/ posters are brown, funny how these things work out
>>739047274Never ask a human-supremacist the species of his wife.
>>739047487uuuuuoooooooh
>Elders in Xcom 1 say that thin men are failures because theyve got no psionic abilities>Thin men are vipers>Valen managed to get a viper king with psionic abilitiesare the ethereals just retarded?
>>739050548Neanderthals
>>739050548They decided to go against the indomitable human spirit, so yes.
So is there actually a greater enemy hunting the ethereals or were they just making that up to justify them experimenting on humans because they were afraid to die
>>739006362Hats are important.
>>739006932Good question
>>739023372Yeah but immigrants tend to form their own communities for a reasonObviously its not entirely possible in a setting where a global tyrannical overlord forcibly moved 90% of the population to centralized mega cities to control them but stillThe problem with tards like >>739009445 is that they haven't even played 5 minutes of the game to know shit is explicitly not hunky dory and that the city is a hotbed of crime and terrorism. Shit is an experiment on integration, not some beautiful, shining example.
No snakes here, just us chickens.
Chimera squad revealed that Archons are constantly in agony and they try to get them tranquilized up in some sort of Matrix-like simulation to keep them sane.It also reveals that Andromedons are basically constantly fighting each other and they had to be put in some walled of ghetto because theyre too violent for society at large.
>>739031349Probably because a lot of it would've gotten reused in an xcom3 for any city missions
>>739047274The only human supremacist faction psychically enslaves aliensThe big bad doesn't give a shit about the slave species they're specifically referring to the ethereals, that everyone should remain on war footing to ensure they never come back
>>739047148FUCK CRIMINALSKILL ALL KINGPIN WANNABES>>739052705not like floaters were barrels of laughs eitherthough going from heavy floater to archon sure as fuck is an upgrade
>>739052705Andromeniggers
>>739029791>bottom leftyou will never have this
>>739031349Even though people dislike the gameplay changes, almost everybody likes the background art and loading screen slices of life. My favorite is the pic of the bank queue with a viper in a business dress. It's so weird but cool at the same time.

>>739022501This anon gets it. Sex is great and all, but this ad is selling more than a good time to blow money and get some drinks. This is selling a lifestyle and a larger dream.
>>739044912That's nice and all but so did 1. It's not really about what happens that makes the tone. It's how it's presented and 1 had a much more serious presentation.
>>739036826Jake Solomon is a simpleton and his statements about anything are not to be trusted. Except for that time he admitted Firaxis had never even started pre-production on XCOM 3 and had no plans to as of the day he quit and walked out the door

>>739061692People are better for that.

>>739058719Why doesn't Firaxis want to make a sequel to two of their biggest hits?
>>739061000
>>739062534>Why doesn't Firaxis want to make a sequel to two of their biggest hits?The people responsible for XCOM like Jake Solomon got the boot after the miserable failure of Marvel's Midnight Suns. There's almost nobody left who was directly involved. You can blame no XCOM 3 on the complete and utter lack of foresight on CEOs.
>>739009445Some of the aliens are an all female species of 12 foot long snake women with tits the size of your head. And we can't kill just the other aliens, it's all or nothing. Sacrifices had to be made.
>>739060904Both are good in their own way. It really depends on which you prefer aesthetically. I'm an x-com files sorta guy.

Why are snakes so sexy
>>739067290The middle sentence is true.But the two above and below are even more true, and much more important.
>>739067290I think it's being part super silky and hairless, and part everybody in the west inherently associates them with sin and temptation. So you're just gonna start attributing them to that femme fatale archetype that'll tease and play with you like food and then maybe suck your dick.
>>739060904Haven't played xcom files, but I love me some piratez. I'm playing right now>>739061078I jumped right in to piratez and I'm no worse off for it
>>7390401872 mostly, the last gang is mostly human psionic supremacists who want to force an awakening over humanity using a device that will either unlock your psionic potential or kill you, using mindcontrolled aliens as fodder.
>>739009445Not all aliens even get to live among humans, they mostly live in segregated concentration camps and ghettos until they pass a 'human values' test to prove they aren't violent brutes.
