This is an interesting thread from meta perspective
>XCOM is a garbage game that /vst/ masturbates to for the sake of being contrarian
>However, making threads pointing that out is contrarian by itself, for the sake of being contrarian
Really activates your almonds on the level of contrarianism involved

You're replying to low effort baitshit regardless

Like most of these old games (ja2 homm etc.) it appeals mostly to elitist autists who can't afford a better pc to play better games

>Game has shit-tier design
>GIT GUD!
Dark Souls and its consequences have been a disaster for the game design and dev cycle

>>2196016
What if I just don’t like the games?

>>2197374
I don’t particularly care for either

>>2197575
Correct

>>2197994
Doesn't matter, /vst/ will call you contrarian.
That despite the fact /vst/ likes this game to BE contrarian

>>2195980
get the mods man

>>2195980
u r giving frogposters a bad name, faggot

>>2201940
You’re giving “strategy games” a bad name

>>2195980
This isn't this type of board. Grown ups discuss things here. Maybe you'd be more suited to /v/?

>>2201934
While I acknowledge that some games are naturally good frameworks for mods, if I have to install mods to enjoy said game, it is not a good game by default.

>>2203297
Tell me why any of them are good games then.

>weird mix of several gamestyles trying to appeal to everyone - appeals to no one fully instead
Not really sure what you mean by this. Do you mean the difference between missions and map?
>incredibly repetitive
This is somewhat true, but new enemies and tech do keep things fresh. Mission types are definitely a weakness in the franchise
>artifical difficulty so people can feel smart when they get lucky
The point is you can plan and play to increase your overall average to be higher. Yes you can get screwed over by chance but those moments when you overcome extreme odds and pull through are super fun.

>>2195980
Bcuz it’s fun and I like fighting ayyys?
Fucking retard

90s X-COM was great.
Nu-XCOM is disappointing. I didn’t care for it.

>>2195980
>XCOM fucking sucks actually
It doesn't, actually.

BETRAYAL
BE, TRAYAL
BETRAYED ME.

I know it's shitty frogfuckerbait but original xcom is still the best tactics game and it's motherfucking 2025.

The new x-coms and xenonauts games are leagues better than the clunky mess of the old ones. A lot of people are deluded by nostalgia.

>>2216092
It does, actually
