Ayyyyy, if a missed 95% shot fucks things over that bad then you probably weren't handling the situation that well in the first place!
He says, as his entire squad gets eggs laid in them
A plan is just a list of stuff to go wrong.
That brought a tear to my eye
Hah, you can try to stay on top of it. But no matter how hard you try, there's always a chance of that one little mistake that turns into a cock-up cascade and leaves most of your squad dead and one remaining soldier trying to crawl to evac.
I love that game, but I'm probably a masochist.
Look, it's alien invasion simulator not friendly fun-time simulator, sometimes everything goes to shit and you need to roll with that!
I've heard about Xcom for years but never tried it, and BG3 has given me a turn-based itch to scratch, is it as good as everyone says?
I might be biased, since I've been playing the XCOM games since they first came out 30 years ago. But yes, they are really, really good for turn-based combat. I am also a sucker for games with research trees.
Tech trees are fun
Honestly I enjoy the crap out of them. It's definitely less story than BG3 and you WILL lose people you're attached too. It goes on sale fairly often I think, though it's worth it at full price.
Well I was relaxed until just now. Clenches jaw

Well, 95% is not 100%
At 100% those bastards would nail the shot every time....half the time.
Hey, maybe I find managing probability relaxing!
I took a break from XCOM after losing one of my best soldiers on an iron man run. Am currently terrified of going back in because i remember nothing and am sure i'd fuck everything up now.
Loading last save isn't that stressful.
Sometimes you gotta play XCOM on Ironman Mode just to punish yourself.
i exclusively play xcom on ironman because i tend to reload on the tiniest misstep - and then i get annoyed about myself, because i cant accept anything else than perfect. ironman fixes that for me :-)
Me too. Don't see the point of playing games like these if not on ironman. Same with Crusader Kings and Rimworld.
I've done the same thing. It actually teaches you a lot about the game, since you are forced to pay much more attention to when enemies will trigger based on your movements.
