It's funny, when I see XCOM2, I think Terror From the Deep, into which I sunk so many hundreds of hours during my misspent youth. Although various guides online indicate that the game is actually winnable, I never managed to beat it. And it certainly didn't try to compensate you for, say, not detecting any alien subs until July and then having your crew slaughtered by giant lobsters.
- pjc50 10y agoI can't remember beating it either! Although I did beat the original original XCOM. The story behind TFTD's difficultly (you may have heard this one) is that people complained that XCOM was too easy, even on the hardest difficulty. But this was due to a bug: save/load did not persist the difficulty level properly, so most people played one or two missions on ultra-hard and the rest on easy, without ever realising. So when the developers turned up the difficulty and fixed the bug, suddenly the sequel was incredibly hard.
