chimera squad was flawed but dude if you gave me a new, serious xcom game that was a full strategy thing except every recruit could randomly be one of the alien races from xcom 2, and you just had to go "okay well you're a gaint monster guy so getting you armor costs extra resources but you have more health" i'd be so happy. it'd be everything i want. sigh. pls fireaxis pls
it is very funny how xcom had like the single most fashy-adjacent FUCK THE ALIEN SCUM KILL EM ALL fanbase outside of warhammer, and then fireaxis so soundly defeated that side of the fanbase they were able to make a game where you peacefully team up with the aliens (they still exist but they're much less of Every Single Person nowadays)
how did they do this?
they made one of the aliens in xcom 2 a snake lady with huge tits
and the power of horny gamers online going "well... what if i.. kissed her instead" did the work for em
