....how big of a gaming pussy I've become over the years.
The gameplay is enjoyable and fairly addictive. The management aspect is intuitive enough, and the whole package has kept me engaged throughout. Trying to play the original a few years ago and failing even made me appreciate the tour guide, a feature I normally can't stand.
But now I've reached a point of no return. I evidently didn't do enough to keep my most badass squad members alive and I'm paying for it. On top of that my research choices flat out stunk. I was getting ready to quit and move on to something else I bought during the sale.
And then I thought to myself: What the hell, man?
Does anyone remember the days when most games (especially RPG and strategy) were hard enough that you needed an initial try just to learn the game at all? And only then you'd start again to do a real playthrough?
What happened to my gaming mojo? Quitting a fun game because it's too hard to beat the first time out?
Get off my lawn while I restart this game.
Too be fair - it was pretty frustrating to play a brilliant level, keeping my entire squad alive with some (for me) brilliant play, only to have a group of slims kill three of my best overall guys with THREE CONSECUTIVE SHOTS. Thanks, aliens. Kiss a sick monkey's wet ass.
