Ooh Tygen's from EXALT ADVENT.
He looks pretty good too btw.  He and Shen have very attractive character design.

Yes. Yes they do.
The internet shall do its work in time.

Also, RIP Shen. He was a good man.

In the video I notice they mention about the different tactics in the strategy game.
They mention spreading the resistance can help you take out alien facilities, which feeds into the endgame mechanic.

Have you seen this post-mortem by the creator of the very first X-com? It is quite fascinating to see him speak of a game that you played as a little kid. Well, I was a little kid back then and this game was one of the best ones ever, right  beside Fallout.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
THE TURTLENECK WILL ALWAYS BE WITHIN OUR HEARTS AND SOULS

tfw you will never have the privilege of licking Dr. Vahlen's boot for the cause of science before she kicks you in the face for being a worthless lab assistant who will never amount to anything more than a footnote in her exalted body of work

MSH is there something you want to get off your chest? We're here to listen if you need it.

"[Dr. Vahlen] is lost. We don't know her whereabouts..."
hoo boy

She obviously realized XCOM was just holding her back and ascended to goddesshood with science.

For all we know that could be happening. But in ADVENTland instead.

I had not, that was very educational!  I love how the video takes up like 20% of the screen by default, but I wasn't disappointed.  And my expectation were very high.  (Also it can be fullscreen of course)
Particularly interesting that Apocalypse had so many issues.  I wonder how great it could have been...  I already enjoyed it a lot more than original X-COM, though it's less addictive.

also this is the wrong thread, get out

THE GREAT COMMANDLY ONE HAS TAKEN A BRIDE IN HIS HOLY CHAMBERS

[Twinwolf]

BUT WHAT IF THE COMMANDLY ONE IS A WOMAN?

[Graknorke]

The Commander (PBUC) need not be shackled by your mortal definitions. All is, was, and shall be commanding. Anything else is inconsequential.

[Rolan7]

BUT WHAT IF THE COMMANDLY ONE IS A WOMAN?

I REJECT YOUR PREMISE

also this is the wrong thread, get out

I take it back, please come back.

What did Firaxis ruin? I've been loosely following this. Besides snake women and mutons still being weird looking, I don't see much else to panic about.
