JOHN XCOM’S LEGENDARY GUIDE LISTEN UP, MAGGOTS! John XCOM here. You want 4 soldiers, Legendary difficulty, zero deaths, before July? Here’s what the game won’t tell you: Legendary will humble you! 70% is basically a coin toss. XCOM maths. One misclick = funeral. Congratulations, Commander. You WILL leave people behind. It's called tactical retirement. AP Ammo > Bluescreen. Don't ask questions. Just accept it. You are NOT special. That soldier you spent 20 minutes customising? first to be headshot next mission. Gatecrasher is the hardest mission. Nothing like losing the campaign before you've even made it to the ship. Stun Lancers are annoying. MECs are the actual a55 collectors. Never trust the percentages. XCOM has a personal vendetta against mathematics. Never dash into unexplored territory. That's not movement. That's pod roulette. Flanking sounds great until the flank activates another pod. Congratulations, you've flanked yourself. You will spend more time looking for the Skyranger on the overview map than I care to say. Turn off the DLC. Nobody has time for the Chosen or Rulers Grenades don't miss Central: “Commander, we need to—” CENTRAL, I am on my 57th run, SIT DOWN — John XCOM
I loved "UFO: Enemy Unknown" when I was but a young teen playing it on a then top-of-the-line 486 PC with VGA graphics and a SoundBlaster card. The decades rolled on and aside from the disappointment of seeing the other 'X Com' shooting game (my own reaction to it would rival Spoony's); having received the first XCOM reboot in its glory was like a gift from the gods. Then to receive another gift in this sequel and its expansions and mods and community and all that, as well as to see they improved upon it without losing the essence of the originals, was satisfying to this nostalgic gamer.
This is still the best of it's kind. I think I still have some kind of PTSD from this game, you get attached to these stupid soldiers then watching them get mutoided to death is so painful. I think actually the most underrated feature of this game is the Bar/Memorial. I don't know who came up with that but they are a genius. I loved leaving heartfelt messages to my best soldiers who died. But also, if a soldier panicked and did something stupid, I really enjoyed insulting their memory with a critical epitaph. Anyway... one day... X Com 3 <3
