Clearly not military fit? Because they're not rippling with muscle?
No because the women in this game... Like soo many others... are built like super models.
Also yes I am AWARE that the men are overly muscled and that their armor makes them look suspiciously like they are from a different game... I already did a parody of that a while ago.
Which is whatever... I got long ago that they dropped all pretense of this game trying to even have a hint of reality as soon as I saw the space armor (Which I still stand by the original had, but whatever... Won't argue it). So yeah... It wouldn't be a problem if I took this game as a mindless strategy game but I am unfortunately taking the stance that this isn't. Which apperantly is biting me in the butt because it is going out of its way to say "Hey stupid! This IS a mindless silly strategy game and you are taking it too seriously. Think of it like a hollywood movie about Rambo, Rambo, Rambo, And Angolena Jolee taking on Aliens and what they would do" and then I go "But... there is like... elements of the first and everything"... and they go "Yes but those arn't what will sell the game. What will sell the game are these pictures of aliens, Rambo, and boobs"... and I go "So what you are saying is that you are pandering to the stupid people?" and they go "No... I am saying that you seem to have a irrational need to see greater qualities in games"
and then I go "Well is there a problem with wanting the best from a game?" and they go "Well what makes you think what you think is the best? Ever thought your interpretation is wrong?" and then I go "Is there something wrong with wanting games that pander to my needs that is sort of what videogames are?" and they go "Yes but does that mean our game is flawed?" and then I go "If we thought by those terms then nothing is truely flawed or even done well. We have to have some basis of communication of quality" and they go "But our aliens are cooler" and then I go "Well actually they sort of arn't. The issue is that you have turned the aliens from hinting at a larger culture into monsters with very little sense of that anymore" and they go "But they totally have a culture still, we written it into the game" and I go "But why arn't their strategies showing that? Why even have a alien race of cannon fodder unless they are cannon fodder" and they go "because if we did that then we would have had a cool alien monster" and then I go "But I prefered it before" and they go "Well weren't they silly before?" and I go "But that is the point, the point was how subtle they were and how they could go past your radar and fool you" and they go "But were they cool looking scary aliens that could crawl up walls?" and I go "But why do they need any of that crud" and they go "Well why does any alien need any details" and I go "But couldn't you have incorperated the old alien while making a completely new alien to do your stupid silly alien crawl through walls thingy that looks more like you cloned Gollem?" and they went "No because that would have taken effort... that and the design of the old alien clashes with our could scary alien monsters motif. A cutsy alien would look silly in a game like this" and I went "I know, but couldn't you have kept them out of it then?" and they went "No, because we need to cash in on nerds!" blaw blaw blaw blaw
I am still going to hold onto that they are going to include a medical gun of some sort. Even if it isn't one that shoots. It would just be so perfect for this game.
