Taking the edge off.

Missing a 95% chance shot in Xcom and subsequently having your whole party wiped out by aliens

Pick one

    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!

    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.

    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?

    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 :-)

    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.
