I really want to like XCOM 2 it fits all the criteria of stuff I would love but I feel like I reached a place where I can’t win without starting over. Even after losing I still don’t understand all the mechanics so it might happen again.
Comment on What's your favorite game that you will NEVER finish?

XCOM: Enemy Within on Classic difficulty.
It’s been the dragon I’ve been chasing for a decade, but I’ll squadwipe on a mission that fucks up my entire run, ragequit, and never touch it again for a year or three, then go “how come I never beat it?” and start the vicious cycle again.
This is only vanilla btw, don’t even get me started on my Long War “attempts” (read: repeated wipes within the first couple of months).

XCOM games all kind of have a problem where you can really screw yourself long term with a bad mission or by researching sub optimally. It’s kiiiiind of awesome because it raises the stakes of the game… But I don’t want to restart and play another 40 hours or whatever T_T.
