Curiously, I'm perfectly fine with roguelikes since long ago, but I can't muster emotional energy to get back to XCOM: Enemy Unknown (the modern one) since one of my characters on a team died there (I still vaguely remember the map), even though I could theoretically reload a save from before it happened. The feeling doesn't seem to wane, and surprises me to no end every time I think about that.
- amcoastal 5y agoGrab XCOM 2. Its a solid step forward from enemy unknown and you might not feel the same disappointment.
- akavel 5y agoMaybe I didn't express it clearly enough, but I don't think I'd call it a disappointment, more like emotional trauma of losing this character.
- amcoastal 5y agoI'm sorry I communicated poorly. I know what you meant. What I meant is that I think maybe you could rekindle the old joy you felt but not feel the emotional loss when booting it up since its a whole new game :)
