I've been gaming for over 30yrs, I grew up on NES where games had real challenges. Respect my mind or get your brains knocked out

One ended up poisoning my ranger..............................he died a slow death
I beat this game the other day, and I have to say it's my GOTY and a HUGE improvement over Xcom EU
The way they flipped it so you gain regions over time instead of lose them
was masterful so instead of feeling like your losing progress you gain it.
The timer on most missions really speeds things up and makes you play more agressive and you have the chance to ambush aliens and just lay waste to them.
The avatar counter at first really stressed me out but once I figured out that any of the black sites or what would reset it I would let it start counting down like whatever lol
I do think I over levelled at the end I had like 10 colonels and 3 magi it was a bit ridiculous.
I do think the veteran difficulty was a bit easier than I would have expected, towards the end at least, and some of the aliens weren't aggressive enough imo, I played sloppy towards the end and I didn't get severely punished for it.
The load times at end game were horrendous, 7 minutes? ain't nobody got time for that! This game REALLY needs a performance patch, if they improved load times I'd run through it again on commander and get the DLC cuz this game is that good.

Doing my 1st play thru on Commander difficulty. shyt is fun but challenging as fukk.
I was a 6th grader when the OG X-Com game came out, so I'm loving this reboot. Wonder if they will reboot TFTD.

Is this worth $30 for digital if I have Halo wars 2 pre-ordered and it's launching tomorrow?

Game is dope as fukk. If I didn't have such a backlog, I'd run an Ironman playthrough.
Having specialist w Guardian perk and the attachment that gives instant kills is damn near unstoppable.

I started this up on veteran. After 8 missions the UFO invaded which I was severely ill equipped for, is that normal to be attached so soon on the game?
I'd barely built my first power plant and it was game over already
I seen its on sale for 30 but i just copped gears 4 and still gotta cop rocket league, too many games.. not enough time 
8 missions? By the time the UFO hunts you, you should have a couple maxed soldiers and alien weapons. Are you skipping missions?I started this up on veteran. After 8 missions the UFO invaded which I was severely ill equipped for, is that normal to be attached so soon on the game?

You gotta do every side mission to gain resources, don't rush the story missions until forced to by the doomsday timer

I didn't skip anything, did all the side missions and everything.
I'll restart the game again down the line once I clear my backlog. Didn't know if they'd upped the difficult from XC:EU or perhaps I was just unlucky

Ya I remember getting attacked by the UFO but it was much later. I always waited to do the story missions until when that avatar meter was almost full
