And of course this conversation has everything to do with the game

It's better than "pr0n wen", IMHO.

New IGN video - Meet the Ranger

It sounds like Rangers are the de facto scout class.

00:18

Look behind him

Now they're just making fun of the internet

60 pages of posts in a week? Yikes...

The whole snakeboobs thing could be explained by a weird bone structure or musculature. It's an alien after all. Really I think people are too fixated on something that is ultimately not important.

I dont get it.  Whats behind him at 00:18 that isnt behind him at 00:04 or pretty much the entire video?

That snakeporn concept art has been around since the first reveal, I think:  http://oyster.ignimgs.com/wordpress/stg.ign.com/2015/06/XCOM2_Viper.jpg

I for one look forward to having a nuanced discussion with our alien overlords regarding our cultural differences.  I anticipate being able to express my viewpoints with a variety of arguments, including 7.62x51, 40x46mm, and hot plasma.

But are you remembering the classic all-purpose arguments? Namely, cold steel and rocket-assisted? It's important to consider every angle in a debate

Imagine the snakedude's confusion.

Human: Why do you have breasts? Lizards don't have breasts.

Snakeman: What? I'm not a lizard. I'm not part of your planet's evolutionary history. These bumps are venom sacs surgically added so I can spit acid blood poison at you which eats through your stupid face. My people don't even have a binary gender, I find your assumptions insulting. *acid spit!*

[Sergius]

Look, they obviously did this because the aliens had a large surplus of boob plate armor, probably from a previous xray race with long necks, like giraffe-women or whatever, so they added the breasts to their vipers so they would fit.

That's plausible, I suppose. Now we need an explanation for the sexualized hips and why they seem to be posing for a fashion magazine.

How about human tendency to sexualize everything? Maybe that's just the way they stand? Also hips? He doesn't even have legs. How can he have hips?

If by human tendency, you mean the artists', I agree.

I guess it's just me who sees sexual innuendo and suggestive imagery in otherwise innocent settings. Sorry.

Anyway I'm just playing devil's advocate, that snakechick was definitely designed to be sexy.

Simple... Two drunk designers said "What would a snake with tits look like" and thus it was made but the deadline was up, lucklly the person who was finallizing the designs has an uncomfortable obsession with snakes and thus the alien was accepted.

[Sheb]

Or they realized that adding boobs to their model would generate a ton of interests for their game, and they were right.

[Sprin]

Yes
