I’M FULLY AWARE THAT THE FPS IN THIS VIDEO IS SHIT! However, I initially didn't realized that I was using Intel's GPU instead of NVIDIA's GPU because I thought that the game would know which one to use, turns out I need to manually change it and I'm sincerely sorry about that. I'm considering a re-upload if that's what you guys want. On another hand, here are the timestamps for each agent's dialogues: 0:00 Cherub 0:28 Blueblood 0:51 Terminal 1:25 Axiom 2:02 Patchwork 2:27 Godmother 2:52 Claymore 3:18 Zephyr 3:33 Verge 4:02 Shelter 4:27 Last but not least, everyone's favourite snek gurl: Torque

They routinely dress soldiers in civilian clothes even in enemy within. At this point im surprised this is the first time they have dabbled with child soldiers. On the other hand, judging by the fade stuff going on it sounds like the elders put a 30 year kill switch into the hybrids. Meaning cherub is roughly equivalent to 20ish. But that does put zephyr at like 70 to 80 if she was hybridized 20 years ago.

​@@magni5648 fine, let's put it the other way: pretty much every country was erased afted the invasion and 20 years of occupation, X-Com isn't a part of any state (as far as we know), they fight against alien invaders (or them as thugs and terrorists in chimera squad) - also not a country. And all that "Geneva convention" is a term for a basic rules of war that simply cannot be applied to X-Com, since it's not an any country's military. Btw this scenario is even portraited in the x-com like game Xenonauts, where after victory your chief schientist guy asks of what will happen next, since your anti-invasion coalition isn't a part of any government and possessing a huge quantity of alien weapons and materials that are capable to annihilate the entire planet.

I just love Verge, Cherub and Torque. Verge has that "I know what I'm doing", leadership through sheer know-how kinda vibe. Cherub's the heart of the team, it's plain to see. I think no team member has a negative banter with him, even if they are hostile at first. And Torque is just mean, downright devilishly evil at times. I swear, her "shh, shh" when she coils around an enemy gets me every time. Oh, and it was nice of them to bring back Jane Kelly as the director of the team. All in all, great characters! Even though they don't feel really alien, they make up for it with lovable factor. I hope to see them again in a sequel.

[@vksasdgaming9472]

Torque definitely is most divisive. She is definitely meanest of them, but just as obviously most emotionally vulnerable. Axiom, Verge and others have gotten used to peace and society of multiple sapient species but Torque has known only killing and imprisonment. She is very unsocialized invidual. Assuming Vipers mature at same rate as humans and Ethereals left five years ago she was 15 tops when being captured. Could a child trained to be something like SAS-soldier and who has served in direct combat (of doing war crimes) be expected to be well-adjusted?

@@InchonDM No its not, just work with what bannerlord does with its companions for example. They have a title like "wanderer" and the title gives them a specific personality and skillset. Could do something like that with xcom and further improve on it. Like experiences shaping the soldiers, if one nearly died by explosion damage for example and you rescue him, he gets extra loyal and thankful maybe, so lets say he would get a slight resistance to panic maybe and also the title "scarface" which makes him like 10% More resitant to explosive damage.

Back during the first invasion the Vipers were the thin men, who are very much less reptilian and it's conceivable the aliens didn't bother to roll back all the changes they made to the Vipers DNA. Also, the base advent trooper uses Humans as the base. In Chimera squad specifically though, Axiom's bio directly calls out him having more human DNA than the invasion era Mutons.

The voices sound as if they wanted to make a comic based animation rather than an XCOM game, filled with comedy more than what the series has been known for. The rogue advent troopers (I cannot recall their names, it's been years since I last successfully played) voice sounds too different from the ones introduced from XCOM 2: War of THe Chosen. The Psi guy acts like how I would expect one of their kind to really, voice is off though compared to their screeching. The Mutons carried a way deeper voice tone, similar to krogans. The Vipers I'm not too sure on though, most expect a hissed lisp with every S-word, but that can be overcome with time in any race; I really have nothing for them. Humans are just that, Humans.

If I could bottle up your optimism, I could make a lot of money, Cherub.

[@coffeebreakhero3743]

the dialogue in this game isn't rare enough to archive that said, I'd appreciate if when you're done you'll do "best of"

[@superscrungus]

zephyr's intro had me cackling like a fucking hyena just from her line delivery

[@orelas167]

Terminal and Verge did not disappoint. And Godmother takes the take.

[@theshaggycreeper220]

Hmm, now I wonder where I’ve heard Torque’s voice actor before…

[@nolanstrife7350]

Torque has some striking resemblance with Loona from Helluva Boss. Both are mean, sarcastic, a bit aggressive, somewhat insecure (at least, if I remember some of Torque's dialogues with other squad members), both are sexualized beyond belief by their respective fandoms... And yes, they both are voiced by Erica Lindbeck, lol

I like claymore he's all about food I like food

[@VaciliNikoMavich]

They seem to all have different personalities, sweet ^_^

[@michelveilleux1275]

At last, my snake waifu and I shall rule this game! 🤣😎

[@dist0rt3dhum0r]

I've so got Terminal energy. I'd do the exact same thing. uwu

[@carloscristero]

Reminds me of how my UFO game series died. Each new game became more like a cartoon in style.

[@Just_a_Dragon69]

I recognise torque's voice from a mile... is the same voice as Loona from helluva boss Erica Lindbeck

[@JonatasAdoM]

Cherub is just too nice for this galaxy.

[@MisterCantaloupe]

Most replayed part of the video is Torque. 💀💀💀

[@Snowie7826]

Those aliens picked up the local accent pretty quick

[@heselofhephidiyiai5985]

City 31 is reminding me of half life 2, which for those who don't know, takes place in a city 13. It begs the question, who would win? A combine invasion force, or the xcom aliens? what the combine lack in psionics they make up for in sheer numbers and technological advancement. But the aliens have even more advanced technology. It's an interesting concept

[@radiationhazardsfather6310]

Late comment but hl2 is in city 17.

[@radiationhazardsfather6310]

Also I think the combine would probably decimate the xcom aliens. I mean they basically drove an entire species to near extinction which is the nihlanths race which are literal gods, and probably a lot more things. Also pretty certain the advisors have psionic powers or telekinesis

[@LecherousLizard]

- Torque. - Whisper. - -Shepard.- - -Wrex.- - -I should go.- - Are we good? - I don't know. Did you get a lobotomy? Off to a good start, I see. PS. _"Quotes? Sure, Whisper. Can you quote this gesture? How about two?"_

[@hartantoanggoro]

sometimes I imagine that Verge voiced by certain Salarian doctor would be nice but it's fine anyway

[@technoruffles7747]

I liked the premise...a paramilitary unit made specifically to deal with high risk warrants in a world now full of stranded aliens that don't have a big psychic overlord to stop them from killing each other. The execution however was way too goofy, too saturday morning, especially considering some of the horrific shit we see in XCom 1 and Xcom 2. A Ready or Not approach would have been far more fitting as far as tone went. Other than that i generally liked the game, though the breach mechanic made lots of the fights trivial. EDIT: They should have added a MEC, SPARK or SHIV just for good measure.

[@SteelShroom256]

The fact that the Viper sounds like a normal American woman feels really weird to me, somehow.

[@wh3nderson95]

Is Godmother's VA Sadie from Halo ODST?

[@lenardstarks5891]

I love torque
