Thanks! Saving this for when I get an opportunity. I know the old games are beloved and have some hardcore fans, so I really want to give them a fair shot.

XCOM 1 was my introduction to the series, and those damned chryssalids nearly broke me.

I used a clone trooper mod for one run, and it was lots of fun. The only drawback was that I couldn’t remember who was who, since they all looked the same.

That’s impressive. I still haven’t been able to beat legendary ironman on XCOM 2.

I’d like to get into the old ones, but the UI is really dated and I’m having trouble figuring out what I need to do. Maybe I need to watch a short video or something.

That’s the XCOM experience! I love that it feels like a long drawn out war, where you can lose missions and territory, but sometimes still turn it around and win long term.

A lot of XCOM fans seem to also love Rimworld, Darkest Dungeon, etc. The roster management and permadeath creates unique stories for each playthrough.

That’s the one. I didn’t see another XCOM community on Lemmy yet, so I made this one a couple of weeks ago. It was one of my favorite subs back on reddit, so I’m hoping we can get one started here too.

Hey, I’m 30 percent chance to hit!

The_Picard_Maneuver OP , 1 year ago to futurama in I'm amazed how often I get to reference this line in real life.

No argument here.

I did this once vs the chosen warlock and felt like a genius, up until I learned the hard way that flashbangs don’t work on him. He just mocked me for trying and then wiped my squad.

Browsers are cyclical like fashion, I guess.

Remember when chrome launched and they had all those commercials showing how fast it loaded webpages?

That’s so cool! I would frame it or something.
