also name someone "Aliano Removio"
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/VideoGame/XCom?from=Videogame.X-COM"Aliens invade earth. Kill them and reverse engineer their stuff."
Aliens are here, kill them, reverse engineer stuff, lose tons of soldiers in the process. It is very Nintendo Hard. Soldiers aim like stuff, aliens don't."X-COM: UFO Defense and X-COM: Terror From the Deep are
infamously difficult, as the game system is very complex, and almost every random variable in the game has a high variance in either direction. No punches are pulled early in the game, with most every enemy type capable of appearing in missions from the get-go, and at no point does a soldier ever become safe from being
instantly killed by a stray shot. Even the safest move is a gamble for both sides, although the aliens aren't bothered by losses."
"
The way the game generates missions and is also utterly unforgiving. A far cry from
today's games that insist on giving you a shallow learning curves and
holding your hand through the most simple of tasks, X-COM has no scruples against sending you on a
terror mission with nearly bullet-proof Cyberdisks or Chryssalids in the early game, or positioning aliens in a half-circle around your Skyranger's disembarking ramp, ready to mow down whoever tries to disembark. Know when to fight and when to attempt a frantic Tactical Withdrawal.
Since they couldn't replicate the original Alien AI with the modern code, OpenXcom developers had to make it smarter than in the original just so it would not be curbstomped, and there is a Sneaky AI option that makes it even harder."
X-COMs first NIGHT TIME mission! Against a crashed ufo full of Men In Black! Unfortunately, X-COM cannot afford Night Vision Goggles, which is pure BS.The Rookies and Squaddies will be on this mission. Talia and Lee Hanson are too high ranked to be on it, we gotta level up the noobs
I play with "Always daytime" on for a REASON.
X-COM soldiers get their vision range reduced by a MASSIVE amount at night. Aliens, including Men In Black and the Cult Of Sirius, are not affected. The MIBs probably carry NVGs, and the Cult Of Sirius? A wizard did it. Luckily we can spam Electro Flares all over the place. Very reusable.
Rookie:"Heads up, somethings out ther---"
CHOOM
"Oh god! They are flanking us!"
"SWEET JESUS I'VE MET THE PYRO"
7 minutes of intense Electro Flare throwing later
Stalker: Fu---
47 seconds later
We have to search the entire godamn map for the last MIB.WHY
There he is! Tase his ass and violate him with a baton.
RIP Stalker, dedicated "Blow stuff Up Guy" untill the very end. Although he inherited the badass when he picked up Revolver Rookie's gun, it didn't save him.Music for mourning/celebrating/something the loss of Stalker:
