"It's Summer Sales time!" "No, momma Steam, no!"

Comment #10 for "Incentives"

2020-06-15T13:48:51Z

Thanks to steam and gog I can play amazing game at a ridiculous price. My problem with exclusive is that it feels like I'm buying a game for hundreds of dollars.

Comment #9 for "Incentives"

2020-06-15T04:24:20Z

Yeah Gamepass is criminally underrated!

Comment #8 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T16:14:42Z

Can't help but notice no XBox & it's Gamepass service in this comic. Gamepass has done more to dissuade me from buying games on Switch than Steam sales ever have.

Comment #7 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T13:25:14Z

We should get rid of exclusives and let people buy their games based off the controller of the system.

Comment #18 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-14T09:09:37Z

Is the 'S' on Angie's shirt backwards only in the first panel, or is it backwards in the third and fourth?

Comment #6 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T09:08:53Z

For me, PS4 was the buy I regret. There are very few games that aren't covered by either PC or Switch. While playing mobile games is nice, the Switch has a number of games I really like to play, like Mario platformers.

Comment #5 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T08:50:25Z

Playstation do have sales but for people like me who is used to buy games with 90% discount or free those 40% discount in console games sales feels like a no deal.

Comment #4 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T06:46:48Z

Could be different if it had a larger screen.

Comment #3 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T06:46:21Z

These days I am spending most of my gaming time on Warband anyway. One of the PC exclusives ;)

Nintendo Switch turned into a failed experiment for me :/ My Steam backlog is too large, and in situations where I thought I'd use the Switch I continue just reading Webcomics or playing iPad games.

Comment #2 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T05:10:27Z

It's not even just Steam sales. I have been completely spoiled by things like boot time, gyro aim that I would only consider Switch and Steam (my PC is always on) for just about everything.

Comment #1 for "Incentives"

2020-06-14T04:12:11Z

And now with the Persona 4 Golden, Steam has taken both my soul and my money once again. See you guys next month. Time to revive those hundreds of hours I spent on my burnout Vita.

Comment #14 for "Remaster"

2020-06-14T00:40:33Z

@Chomper: you been had.
Or you can DL any CD's ISO and install with a KeySerial the original.

Comment #13 for "Remaster"

2020-06-13T06:34:43Z

@Albert: Those old CDs haven’t worked in YEARS. I tossed ‘em because I got some kind of error. I forgot exactly what it said but I remember asking about it at the time and was told that I had to download the game since the discs were obsolete technology.

Comment #12 for "Remaster"

2020-06-12T11:52:09Z

@Albert Johfur, Dude seriously? You're blaming for Blizzard's decision to remove the original from existence? That is some finger pointing right there, man.

Comment #11 for "Remaster"

2020-06-12T08:50:09Z

...to which I say: if you really cared as much as you claim, you would have kept the CD-rom's like I did. There's a level when being angry about something stops being justified. I guess some people are just determined to be wankers.

Comment #10 for "Remaster"

2020-06-12T08:47:52Z

I mean, all I really wanted and cared about with WC3R was new textures, so I got what I wanted, no complaints there, not really. The problem is that they lied about adding tons of other stuff. People whine about not being able to play the original, unaltered WC3...

Comment #9 for "Remaster"

2020-06-11T20:18:05Z

The nuclear numbers are not working anymore...

Comment #8 for "Remaster"

Anyone else hearing the Orc's dialog in the voice of Gaz Digsby from "Ballmastrz 9009"?

Comment #5 for "Remaster"

2020-06-11T15:20:23Z

Kane lives! To be honest a little bit helps that Joe Kucan did get back to give short promo to it... Holy shit the guy must be an Immortal, seems like time has barely touched him. And EA being the good guy here, Still not forgiving the shit show C&C4 was.

Peace through power!

Comment #4 for "Remaster"

2020-06-11T14:20:40Z

Not like I'm giving them a cent of my money. Yes, please continue to 'technically' waste money hosting my account on your servers while my Bnet name spreads doubt and I am friend-requested so I can answer these people asking about it while I link every dirty little stunt you have pulled.

Comment #3 for "Remaster"

2020-06-11T14:18:33Z

....that they weren't petrified of what kind of ramifications China had in store for their plans with pushing hard into the mobile market overseas. They're liars, cowards, and the only thing I can do is insult their backstabbing agenda by making people question why my Bnet name is what it is.

Comment #2 for "Remaster"

2020-06-11T14:16:24Z

Said name change was prompted by the Blitzchung incident and I'm not even sure if I'll change it back when he's no longer banned from tournament play, given the disgusting hypocrisy and flat-out pandering to social injustice Blizzard has been ramping up lately while OH-SO-CONVENIENTLY pretending....

Comment #1 for "Remaster"

2020-06-11T14:14:01Z

I can't honestly bring myself to even attempt the alleged workaround to playing the original WCIII. When I heard they effectively removed the ability to play the original, I basically felt spite and only play Hearthstone to continue my protest against Blizzard with my Bnet name change.

Comment #14 for "DMCA Strike"

@James Campbell
He has a song for literally every scenario, from "I need industrial grunge" to "Oops I crapped my pants!"

Kevin Macleod. I've seen his music used all over the place. Royalty free, published under the Creative Commons license. His website even states that you're free to use it as long as you credit him. Hundreds of songs available in all sorts of genres. Problem solved.

Comment #11 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-10T04:14:15Z

Nice!

Comment #10 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-10T02:17:00Z

Well, I mostly meant like, ingame music? If Twitch is chopping people because of that then there's no helping'em. As for remix's there are plenty of services that aren't shit that offer good shit. OCremix comes to mind, and lots of people on Soundcloud and Bandcamp.

Comment #9 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-10T01:54:20Z

Weird that you think videogame music doesn't have copyrights. To totally avoid it, they need to either buy music, use specifically free stuff or play their own rendition.

Comment #8 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T20:39:23Z

You'd think they'd play video game music, or remixs. Weird.

Comment #7 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T20:21:57Z

I don’t follow any streamer so I don’t even know what musics they do but a bunch of professional composers allow their music to be used as long as they get credited for it.

Comment #6 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T19:28:43Z

Kevin MacLeod is the patron saint of free-to-use soundtracks. He has a song for literally everything.

Comment #5 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T14:55:02Z

@Guido Junior Valdez Sotelo

How, prey tell, did you come to the conclusion that we are failed musicians? While I can't speak for Xan I myself have never made nor had any interest in making music.

Comment #4 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T14:46:41Z

@Christian Gilbert & @Xan Seis

Found the failed musicians

Comment #3 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T08:25:40Z

there are millions of noncopy right music out there. They should just ignore the past clips and focus on the future and start fresh. Cant believe in our current year people still want to drown in a glass of water.

Comment #2 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T08:22:07Z

OK, clearly you've never been on NoCopyrightSounds' YouTube channel.

Comment #1 for "DMCA Strike"

2020-06-09T07:59:07Z

Either way I don't care what happens to moneywhore twitch streamers, if they cared about their streams quality over profitability they would have left to the many other alternative websites that are less abusive and predatory.

Comment #16 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-09T04:40:27Z

Flash usually is another glass cannon. Go around doing all sort of things until he gets hit and then he is out.

Comment #15 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T23:16:53Z

@Robert Paige: Supes is the group tank confirmed!
Which probably means Bats is the debuff/cc rogue.
Green Lantern is probably the glass cannon mage.
Martian Manhunter is a druid I guess?
WW could be any Pally spec, depending on her gear...
But WTH is the Flash? Enhancement Shammy spamming WF?

Comment #14 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T20:52:52Z

@Marios Andreou: Superman actually answered that on in the Justice League cartoon: He takes hits so others don't have to.

Comment #13 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T20:31:21Z

one thing that i don't like about superman is that he forgets about his super speed.
am i suppossed to believe that his speed can compare with the flash but he frequently gets shot and punched because he fails to dodge?

Comment #12 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T17:07:44Z

Actually, Superman has answered this question when someone asked him. He'd let Batman win.

Comment #11 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T15:14:01Z

Ah, I see Angie is a women of culture as well.

Comment #10 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T08:15:18Z

@Robert Paige PPG were never made to be taken seriously. Batman on the other hand gets crippled by a luchador on steroids but join Superman in a fight against another equally strong opponent and doesn’t suffer permanent injuries when the shockwaves alone should turn any human into liquid.

Comment #9 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T07:58:59Z

Who cares about Bats or Supes? Angie and Jane in tight t-shirts, yay!

Comment #8 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T03:52:21Z

But yeah, that whole "As strong as they need to be" trope is one that needs to die in a fire. The Powerpuff Girls was especially bad about that: Beat a kaiju in seconds one episode, get dogpiled by ordinary human criminals the next.

Comment #7 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T02:46:25Z

Yes, but WHICH Blue Beetle? (Cuz I totally could see Jamie pulling that off)

Comment #6 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-08T00:53:05Z

Batman can kill even God if he has enough time

offtopic: did Angie shirt became bizarro shirt on the lat two panels?

Comment #5 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-07T23:23:10Z

Isn't Superman supposed to be super-smart? I know he's not big on preparation the same way that Batman is, but unless Batman is ambushing Superman, it seems like giving Superman time to prepare for a fight as well could let him counteract a lot of the things that Batman might try.

Comment #4 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-07T20:49:44Z

I want a definitive answer, and the loser loses the shirt!

Comment #3 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-07T19:32:06Z

Squirrelgirl wins, as long as the fight happens off-camera.

Comment #2 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-07T15:34:24Z

That felt like the entire point of Batman taking Superman down a peg in Dark Knight Returns. Superman had become essentially a "Act first, think never." watchdog of Ronald Reagan.

Comment #1 for "Batman vs Superman 3"

2020-06-07T15:17:41Z

Amusingly I plan on buying a blue beetle soon. I also have some old trading card for Blue Beetle. (and Guardian). DC Stars or something.

Comment #7 for "The Creative Process"

2020-06-05T11:49:56Z

you should make an avatar and half life parody about the 4 elements of fanservice which are:

-revealing clothing
-body
-attitude
-and ..ehm..fetish?

the 4 nations lived together peacefully until the not-combine(ruled morgan)attacked and tried to eradicate fanservice from the world.

It always sucks to find you're not the first one to come up with what you think is an original idea. It *really* sucks when you find out you're not even the 2nd, 3rd or 25th person to come up with it.

Mike Van Der Zwart- paid for early access to Minecraft in pre-alpha back when it was utter chaos and could only be played in a web browser - best $12.50 I ever spent. Sometimes it's worth the risk. :)

Comment #16 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

This kind of shit doesn't work and not only is a security risk and a performance hindrance but good luck if you get banned on a false positive.

Comment #10 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-06-02T21:07:45Z

To be fair, it sucks balls when a skin is unique or interesting and grossly overpriced. But DOTA 2 is a radioactive toxic dump anyway. Unfriendly to both newcomers and existing players, with a bloated character pool, insufferable community and no incentive to play. Just a vehicle for pushing skins.

Comment #3 for "Fuck Magic"

2020-05-31T20:21:39Z

People who will dislike or even hate a game because their shiny pixel outfit is behind a paywall will always boggle me. You don't need to look good to play the game, skins do not equal skill, even though some people seem to think so. Cough up the money or leave it be, but don't be salty. #rhymes

Comment #8 for "Unpopular Opinion"

Comment #7 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T15:15:09Z

I stopped playing Dota 2 years ago. Repetitive, stagnant gameplay coupled with a toxic playerbase is an absolute Nope.avi
I sold my old arcanas on the STEAM market and made nice dosh I used for other stuff.

Comment #6 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T10:57:38Z

My issue with it is the fact that you may like ONE skin and if its in a battle pass it may be burried behind many other skins you dont even want

Comment #5 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T10:25:55Z

I mean I earn jack shit (I bet anyone of you earn more than me) but since I don't spend it anywhere else while still having all my basics covered I can afford to spend a few hundred bucks per year on games I like. Don't think optional cosmetics deserve any hate no matter the price.

Comment #4 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T08:43:09Z

While I'd like to have some of those new arcanas, I agree with you. With our currency rotten as it is, throwing more than a month's worthy of food supplies in a battle pass plus 100 levels that won't even amount much on sets seems to be so silly.

Comment #3 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T08:39:09Z

"Should I blame a company to try to make legal money on a capitalist system or should I blame adults with poor impulse control who enable its behavior?"

I dunno man, you literally brought up people with gambling addictions in the opening paragraph. Maybe you should reconsider how you answer this.

Comment #2 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T03:11:14Z

Note that I don't want to blame people with gambling addictions. They're not to blame, they're ill. But fucking whales, man. Fuck them.

Comment #1 for "Unpopular Opinion"

2020-05-31T03:08:29Z

Blame both, because both are to blame. Especially since Valve's not a publicly-traded company where you'd explicitly expect them to only care about money and nothing else. Idiot consumers and greedy sellers. Both to blame.

Comment #9 for "Ani-Mage"

Comment #7 for "Ani-Mage"

2020-05-29T05:41:23Z

Imo, yeah it kinda like a lol design, but I think that it's not as provocative. In lol design you clearly see that they target thirsty boy.

Comment #6 for "Ani-Mage"

Can we consider this a formal request for Ani-mage cheesecake for the Patreon?

Comment #5 for "Ani-Mage"

Still, pretty cool design though.

Comment #4 for "Ani-Mage"

There is always a demand for cheesecake!

I guess I will claim Angie on the first panel then.

Also not quite sure where "Valve didn't sent invites for people who previously bought the game" is coming from, which is exactly what they did.

Emulation of current console can never become mainstream. The lawyers won't allow it.

Comment #17 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-26T04:57:14Z

True story. I made a Guy Fieri sim, and the first thing the Sims for Android has me do is make a toilet! "This escalated quickly!" I said.

Comment #16 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-25T21:08:03Z

Animal crossing is more like Harvest Moon than the sims I think. On it your relationship with the npcs a bigger focus than in the sims.

Comment #15 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-25T12:45:26Z

Animal Crossing is like "The Sims with less kitchen fire (none)", but also a mobile game. Technically, you shouldn't play it more than a few hours. Animal Crossing is like those zen games somewhat puzzle in your own mind to achieve your decoration objective through a gacha game.

Comment #14 for "Below The Belt"

Comment #12 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T21:07:40Z

honestly emulation is not a blow below the belt. its really is needed to break up the big 3 which are currently choking the life out of gaming with console exclusives. think about most games coming out nowadays are so mediocre. the get the games like smash mario but most are just terrible.

Comment #11 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T19:24:34Z

Comment #10 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T18:47:05Z

Emulation is also why I'm content with my phone/gamepad combo over buying a Switch.
Its not the newest phone out there, but it runs almost everything up to, and including the Dreamcast, and even the PSP.

Comment #9 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T18:20:17Z

Kinda hard to count "EMULATION" as a low blow when it also includes DOS emulation. I mean, that's basically what Nintendo is doing with the Virtual Console titles - the difference is that I don't need to buy my Apogee and Epic Megagames titles AGAIN before playing them in DOSBox. Also, Steam.

Comment #8 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T18:14:19Z

Yeah, Animal Crossing isn't really a game for everyone. It is quite relaxing, but it takes a while to do much of everything, so unless you need a de-strees game to play everyday, Animal Crossing is kinda boring

Comment #5 for "Free 2 Cheat"

2020-05-24T18:03:57Z

if it wasn't for the free games i would not be using their store.
most of them are just in my library and i have never touched them,either because they don't run on my shitty non-gaming laptop or because i don't even like them(you never know,maybe some day my tastes will change)

Comment #7 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T17:39:31Z

sooooooooo since you can emulate them,why aren't you doing that already?

any way,home consoles don't have many generations left,only the portables will survive.
(let's face it,pc will never manage to become as portable as the switch.playing on the go with a gaming laptop is very uncomfortable.)

Comment #6 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T16:35:44Z

"Kind like The Sims, but with less peeing and kitchen fires."
Then what's the point of virtual denizens, if you cannot make them suffer?

Comment #5 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T15:28:31Z

I mean, just look at TES and FO: Everything was supposed to get bigger and better after Oblivion and Fallout 3, but everything just went downhill content-wise, until we got to FO76 and TES Blades...
Thanks consoles, I hate it.

Comment #4 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T15:26:18Z

I agree with Lestak here, console exclusives are cancer.
PC exclusives however, is a good thing, because it allows a game to be so much more when it isn't required to skimp on content so consoles can run it too.

Comment #3 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T15:06:04Z

"Kind like The Sims"

Nailed.

IMHO Animal Crossing is just hyped and people are dumb as f* (f stands for funk) and it follows everything like lamb. If we compare with Sims 3, then Animal Crossing is really meh.

I miss MySims.

Comment #2 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T15:04:38Z

That me with emulation via a Chinese console for the older Nintendo ROMs. Yeah the gameplay is not as smooth, but wow, what a selection! I don’t know why Nintendo never had a greatest hits package on a separate disc other than the NES Mario games for their newer consoles.

Comment #1 for "Below The Belt"

2020-05-24T13:40:45Z

Don't really see the issue here, so basically the only thing they have above PC is that they, on purpose, decided to restrict games on certain platforms for profit. In terms of predatory anti consumer behavior that's way worse than emulation.

Comment #13 for "There Are Options"

2020-05-23T23:13:17Z

Pretty sure that the majority are unhappy in retail. And it's because even if the majority of customers aren't that bad, the minority that are truly awful far outnumber the minority that make you happy to work there.

Comment #12 for "There Are Options"

Two years as a full-serve gas jockey. I liked the job (well....co-workers and the regulars who came in) and then I got hit by a car smashing my knees between it and another vehicle's bumpers as I was squeege'ing the latter's back window). After I recovered, though, hated customer service.

@Andy Willow I worked as a cashier in a major supermarket for 8 months, and I can tell it was one of the worst jobs I ever had, and definitely glad that I managed to find something much better!

@Cameron Seipel What about jobs that won't make you develop a crippling depression and anxiety?

I'd open OBS to check my settings and I immediately went to lay down and just entertaining the thought of doing any future nights hits me in the temple of my head from both sides. I really wish I could have made it work.

Comment #2 for "There Are Options"

2020-05-21T16:28:32Z

I tried streaming a few times. I don't know if it was anxiety or what but the first night went fine. Second night I had to cut it off at an hour and a half. Third only got to 45 minutes. Fourth, 15 minutes, IF THAT. The migraines got so bad that I couldn't even TRY to set up the 5th night.

Comment #1 for "There Are Options"

2020-05-21T12:44:29Z

Honestly, is it even possible for me to find ONE story about someone who was perfectly fine, in retail? I mean, statistically at least some people have to have had that experience right? Or is it just so much of a dark space that it's universally bad?...like call centers.

Epic can give away all the games they want. I'm not going to spend a dime on their store though.

Comment #3 for "Free 2 Cheat"

2020-05-19T18:49:39Z

Epic games have been giving a different free game every week for months. The point is not to promote those games but to give people a reason to use epic instead of steam. Once people build a library on Epic they are more likely to use it on a daily basis and more likely to buy games there.

I have the same problem with sandbox games. When i start building i always have this grand plan in my head, but the end result is always a wooden or stone cube with no windows because i get bored of gathering materials.It has always been about the exploration for me and never much about the crafting

skip the hydro and use ion and atmo. You'll be able to get more out of it since you dont have to use hydro tanks on the ship and that will let you build more with the saved space.

Albert, ditto. I'm getting the distinct impression the game is not gonna live up to the hype being generated. This could be very devastating for GOG, my favorite place to by PC games, as whats good for CD Projeckt Red is good for them, likewise with the bad.

Comment #12 for "Weaponized Vagina"

2020-05-13T08:25:04Z

Comment #9 for "Weaponized Vagina"

2020-05-13T05:56:10Z

Albert Johfur,

Yes, you can have both! Cyberpunk 2077 is based off of an old tabletop RPG and as you might know those sorts of games are all about being able to do ANYTHING at all so yeah this is totally in character

The real question is if you can hire a robot hooker with two dicks xD

Comment #8 for "Weaponized Vagina"

Jo, you see Harley Quinn? This is amazing

Comment #7 for "Weaponized Vagina"

2020-05-13T05:37:00Z

The more I hear about the game, the more I'm convinced "Robots and penis balls" was the ultimate goal of the developer.

Comment #6 for "Weaponized Vagina"

2020-05-12T22:42:45Z

My question is, does this mean there is going to be hermaphroditic character creation/customization? Because that would be a first in a "normal" game, lol!
What I mean is, from what I understand of Cyberpunk's setting and lore, it wouldn't be far-fetched at all, would it?

Comment #5 for "Weaponized Vagina"

You are correct, but she didn't say she would put a rocket launcher (tho, given the character, would be the first choice)

Comment #2 for "Weaponized Vagina"

Actually, judging by the firing arc of said projectile, her vagina has a grenade launcher equipped, not a rocket launcher.

@Herman Groenenboom: Because you will have to have a really fast, reliable connection for that kind of stuff to happen. i.e. You might as well run Stadia, since if you pay enough for your connection to be that good, you are going to have enough data for it.

Comment #10 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

Yeah, hard pass on rootkit level software put out by a company that's wholly controlled by the CCP propaganda bureau.

Comment #9 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

2020-05-09T09:56:38Z

@Erin Gorman: The software actually has a tendency to break or disable device drivers that it doesn't trust. This has had the effect of disabling essential hardware, including keyboards and mice. Overheating is known to happen as well.

Comment #8 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

2020-05-09T09:34:13Z

I'm surprised AAA developers haven't tried making serverside anti-cheat yet. E.g. only sending player positions when the server has verified that you can see them would prevent all wallhacks. Since these games use dedicated servers anyway... wouldn't prevent use of aimbots though.

Comment #7 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

2020-05-09T09:28:41Z

The main problem me and basically all of my friends have with Vanguard is that it's a level 0 access rights program. It literally has kernel access rights and even ran silently from startup onwards. Such a program is just begging to be exploited sooner or later by nefarious people.

Comment #6 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

2020-05-09T07:34:08Z

@AndyWillow In return I remember plenty of games with heavily intrusive DRM that as a side effect breaks the games on newer operating systems than what it was released on. Never mind always-online DRM...

Comment #5 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

2020-05-09T06:54:41Z

The anti-cheat software is fine, BUT there is no conceivable reason for it to run at startup. Don't feel like playing the game that day, well it's still taking up CPU usage. There's no reason it should be running constantly, even when the game isn't.

Comment #4 for "Vanguard Anti-Cheat"

2020-05-09T06:39:34Z

theres a third option, match cheaters whit other cheaters!(yes, i know, is not so easy to know who is and who it isnt, but for a reason exist on online games the option to report them for cheating)

Shit, Tencent has so much money in this game that the keychain probably has a rootkit level spy camera in it so the CCP can see if you're speaking poorly about them.

Comment #5 for "DMCA ICBM"

2020-05-05T10:34:09Z

It seems the leaks are from an employee who protested the horrible working conditions. And I've heard from relations that REALLY loved the first one: the story was f*cked by executive meddling, as well, and this is the best remaining scenario for all those involved.

@Andy, that is actually incorrect, and a popular publisher "Fact" That has been spread around to make gamers feel worse about not buying games. Devs are paid all the way up through to the game's release. Devs rarely, if ever actually get a portion of the post-release profits.

Some aliens not so much due to them being humans modified with alien DNA with Etheral Network overriding their minds.

Comment #5 for "New Canon"

@Cameron Seipel: the aliens we fight at XCOM aren't failed experiments (ok, not most) they were genetically engineered as mindless soldiers, that's why when you destroy they main brains on the CORE games, all of them just not only stop moving, but stop LIVING

Comment #3 for "New Canon"

2020-04-25T14:57:26Z

I respectfully disagree. The Ethereals only ever treated them as slaves, this is the first time many, if not all, of them were viewed as something other than discarded experiments. Not to mention those in the squad all have something that makes them fond of Humanity.

Video Game comics come in two flavors: AAA games and Indie crap.

So next step is to turn aliens into monstergirls.

@Cameron Seipel are you talking about the Zerg from the old comics? Because that isn't a snake.

Shame we're no longer seeing 'Snek' from your old Xcom 2 comics, but this Viper's also great. The red dress looks great on her (uncertain where her venom sacs are though. Removed because she wanted to be less threatening, maybe?)

@Myles Adams; Less than, even. One and a half, tops.

Unfortunately, according to Axiom's bio on the website, he was part of the initial invasion and has been on Earth for 25 years. So I guess we're supposed to accept that there were always doe-eyed green Mutons around and we just never saw them.

The mouth really does look silly.

@Lesták Gábor Are you aware this is not XCOM 3, but is, in fact, a $10-$20 side game that was announced literally 2 weeks before it was released?

I thought the big twist at the ending of both Xcom games is that the elders are preparing humanity for some big danger that they know is comming.
After all that it feels underwhelming that all we get as sequel is playing cops and robers.

Human DNA were probably added into these mutons, just like what happened with the sectoids between XCOM 1 and 2?

No, the mutons you always knew were wearing a helmet. This one isn't. It wouldn't make any sense for humans to be producing new mutons anyway so why would they modify anything after XCOM defeated the Elders. Why don't they have predator-like mouth's like the Berserker? Sexual dimorphism is my guess.

I think mutons from X-COM 1/2 where extremely genetically enhanced, so not quite drugs but close.

That thing was a muton! I thought it was one of the fish aliens from the xcom game that had you right aliens underwater.

Also it is called pug... Pug-a-facation. The act of turning fearsome creatures into our pets for our own amusement which can easily be seen on the internet...
