History YMMV / XCOM2

* MemeticMutation: [[TheRevolutionWillNotBeCivilized Comparisons of XCOM to ISIS]] are very common, especially on 4chan, [[http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/974/291/bfe.png though it may be a case of]] being [[DistractedByTheSexy Distracted By The]] [[EvilIsSexy Hot Snake Ladies]].

* FanNickname: Aliens have these, usually involving some variation of "Ayy Lmao" Snakeme- I mean, Snakewomen and the new sectoids have these. Snayykes and Ayybominations/Pectoids/[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure Pillar Sectoids]] respectively.
* HilariousInHindsight: After researching Xenobiology, a cutscene would play in which Vahlen explains the mechanism of the Arc Thrower: Going into close range and stunning the alien. Bradford reacts to this with a bewildered, "Close range?" Fast forward to XCOM 2, a melee weapon is revealed for the Ranger class.

* MemeticSexGod: Less than two days after the game was first announced, the fandom was convinced that the Vipers managed to [[http://i.imgur.com/Y8S8AMN.png seduce the entire planet]] [[https://data.archive.moe/board/v/image/1433/28/1433281395055.png into giving up on XCOM]]. The developers [[https://twitter.com/FiraxisGames/status/605735765549551617 are very aware of this]].

* RootingForTheEmpire: May change once more is revealed about the game, but many feel like the Advent's rule [[InformedWrongness doesn't come off as all that horrible]] in the promotional materials seen so far. Even the seemingly intrusive bodyscans and checks are apparently only happening because XCOM is performing attacks on gene clinics. Given the apparent toothlessness of the Advent's "oppression" and the numerous boons offered by the widespread alien technology, it's often joked that [[FallenHero XCOM has become a terrorist group]].

* BrokenBase: Some people dislike the game taking place in an AlternateTimeline after the first game and would have preferred for it to be a direct sequel like how ''Terror From The Deep'' and ''Aftermath'' were, especially as the former also has XCOM lose support from world governments before the events of the game. Others however are fine with the decision, as it allows for a VichyEarth scenario to be developed without turning the first game into a ShaggyDogStory.

** More like a sort of counter-meme to everybody in denial thinking that the Vipers will be recruitable in vanilla.
