Blame Fallout!

Might as well blame 40K while we're at it.

Might as well blame 40K while we're at it.

At least 40K at the technical excuse of using big-ass shoulder pads to hide the shoulder joins in the minis (at least I think I remember reading that excuse somewhere)

Plus, 40k is meant to look ridiculously martial and over-the-top.
If you look ridiculously martial and over-the-top on accident, well, that's not quite as good. Still, I don't think its too much of an issue here.
Does it look silly? Yes. Does it really matter? No.

Well at least she looks like a girl, a normal one.

To me she seems in her second year in college in the way of empowering herself with feminism, gender studies and 100 cocks. The seed is set.

The fact that a pretty redhead woman immediately reminds you of all that crap just proves to us that you are a fucking retarded incel, not that you are edgy and cool as you believe

Stop psychological projection, gamma boy. Everyone can see it.

To get all that sweet money from the waifu lovers market

I don't think the waifu lovers are interested in a turn-based tactical game.

But that's the catch, make them interested in buying something they don't really want or need.
The 10% game completion on Steam statistics must be respected.

Or maybe it's like in the golden age of game industry marketing where on the game box there was a big titted photo-model in bikini wielding a sword and the actual game was a black&white wireframe dungeoncrawler.

What's that beam looking thingy between trooper and crab queen before flamethrower fires?

 

[Alienman]

Where the flame will go?

 

[PanteraNera]

What's that beam looking thingy between trooper and crab queen before flamethrower fires?

Basically the same thing as the orange spheres representing the explosion radius of missiles/grenades, so to speak a flamethrower cone.
At least that is what I guess what it is.

Since I can't be the only one clicking on this thread waiting for something of substance, here is a GDC talk that is interesting and relates to the design of Phoenix Point.

 

[Grotesque]

and relates to the design of Phoenix Point

"I no longer feel the urge to try and make xcom"

"The tactical turn based system was the real meat of the game"

OMG! I can't hold my horses...

Well, fuck.

Well, fuck.

Exclusive for 1 year on Epic Store.

Lel, they are all upset judjing by comments.

They offer free DLCs for the bakers, also:

they offer a full refund for those unhappy with the decision, and\or unable to create another account on a new platform because it's too difficult, or cause laziness, or cause steam fanboysm, or because another launcher eats 0,004 Ram gb, or because just retarded.

 

[pm_675]

I can tolerate many things but this is it. This is the last straw. Console relase, microsoft deals, lack of direction, new art and now this? I'm asking for a refund.

I will not reward bad business practices.

 

[Quatlo]

Explain to me when people became so cucked that they've stopped being angry at games that are steam-exclusive but throw a bitch fit when a game is on any other shitty obligatory and easily cracked launcher?
