People complained that the first XCOM was too easy. So, the seond XCOMs easiest setting was as hard as the firsts superhuman setting. This explains why I never beat the 2nd, because I always went for anything but easy.

Got a wild hair to try XCOM Terror one more time, as it stands as one of the few video games I have never beat. In fact, it was my first PC Game ever on my first PC ever. Maybe it is some sublimanal, unconscoious sense of not having closure.....

So I played it, on easy, and its still to GD hard. The ship maps are insanely large, with that one guy hiding in the corner of a room, just waiting to blast your men one at a time as you run in to get him. Also, the research directly affects the aliens, so the quicker you go for uber weapons, the quicker you see lobstermen, which is a total game fudge for you. The game is sssssoooooo hard. I gave up again, no closure....

I loved apocoplyse. I would like to play that again but I cannot get it to render properly on my card, and the interface is so outdated it is painful to play.
