XCOM: Chimera Squad - humans and aliens team up

Give it time. In before one of the organizations has its leader use a codename known as "D.R.U.M.P.F." SJWs cannot into subtlety and shitting on Trump is something they do every fucking time, regardless of the medium, setting, age rating, etc.

 

That was my main fear. Read a review that said exactly this too. I can't stand millenial/zoomer writing that infects everything now. Everything is a joke regardless of setting.

I understand this is a spin-off and nuXcom had its jokes, but they tone was still rather somber and serious.

 

You cannot really blame them when he is such a low hanging fruit with his retard statements. Like how he didn't know that antibiotics are not used vs viruses or how he wanted doctors to find a way to kill coronavirus inside bodies by somehow projecting UV rays inside patients bodies...

 

Boy, then Biden would their overlord. But that would never happen.

 

"Dressing like a human will help you fit in. "

It's like the humans are the new totalitarian government this time. Shame that the game is targetted at 12 y olds.

 

I know, but the alternatives are even worse. Then there's Spain.

But I digress. I'll wait for more info from fellow Codexers to see what kind of endgame this thing has.

 

Aaaaand refunded

 

Well. The very first enemy with dialogue actually is right on the nose. 2/3 of the posters in this thread should immediately adopt this guy as their avatar.

After clobbering him and his cell it does indeed give you the 3 different groups to pursue, which I like. There is some d*versity here - factions with women, aliens, bestiality dudes - but I notice that both humans pictured are resoundingly white. When I saw the promos I thought this might be a world where humanity was more blended together racially which is why the white guy looked tanned, but nope.

Lastly, among the featured cutscene NPCs is a right-wing commentator who happens to be Sectoid. I hope to see a lot more of this guy. So far he isn't portrayed in a particularly flattering or unflattering light; it's simply a welcome twist on the usual "news anchors deliver worldbuilding exposition to the player". There's a lot to complain about in the writing but having media commentary with multiple viewpoints is a very cool idea.

 

Sacred Coil sounds like the Cult of Sirius. That's cool. I wish they were in another game.

 

Is there a mod that removes all dialogues and all the dogshit charater art yet? if so, I might get it.

 

This sums up Chimera squad game.

 

This game clearly looks worse than Xcom 2, dude. It's like a mobile game.

Edit: aaand refunded. garbage writing, garbage gameplay.

 

Floyd is sectoid Alex Jones. He even sounds like Alex Jones. And I love him.

 

It's quite something how nearly everyone in the Chimera team, alien or not, are so hideously ugly. I guess SJWs hate beauty due projection.
Also, what kind of "research" minigame is to be done here? Besides better flashbang grenades and other such equipment, this squad should have access to plasma weaponry and the like unless XCOM lost everything because reasons.

 

So, if one of your units got knocked down and start bleeding unconscious, his teammate says "don't sleep at work".

That's to have an idea of the writing guys

 

This project is so weird. I can't understand what audience is targeted. It looks like Firaxis made a game nobody wants/waited for.

 

I am enjoying this a lot, it's just fun sized XCOM 2 with unique soldiers.

 

Is this an attempt to piss of all xenophobes? It's quite stupid story and it's something like we support mixed racial policy which would fuck everyone.

 

Fine enough for a bit-sized X-COM spin-off put about by the studios B-team. I don't know what the hell you guys were expecting given all the marketing material and the fact it was half-off leading up to release.

 

The whole thing reminds me of that DLC they released. I guess this one is one step above it, since it actually has a price.

 

This is really close to scratching the itch for me. A tight, tactical cop drama with unique characters, puzzle type combat with lots of options and new unit capabilities over time? What's not to like? I repeat I loved Shadow Watch. If I am their target demographic, the only blunder the devs made was in writing characters that don't take themselves seriously. I guess they were trying for buddy comedy instead of cop drama?

 

A tactical turn-based SWAT 3/Rainbow Six Vegas with Aliens this is very close to being. Hopefully this game'll get the same mod treatment 2 got, anything to make it just a little bit more worthwhile.

 

The SJW agenda does not impact at all my rating for the game. If Xcom 2 was full of black women characters only, i would have still enjoyed the game.

This game however is a bad Xcom game, agenda or not.
