Depends on the difficulty you set. It can be a pretty fun experience and nowhere near as punishing as the old games.

I'd imagine it depends on how many games of its kind that you've played, but the new XCOM on defaults (Normal and Ironman off) is pretty tame coming from someone who doesn't play a lot of strategy games.
I feel like the game is better when you're surviving by the skin of your teeth. Preparing for disasters is part of the strategy mode, really.
Oh, don't get me wrong, a good challenge is great, but I like it when a game doesn't erratically just bump up the difficulty out of nowhere, as long as it adapts to how you play in a fair manner, I can dig it. Sounds more reasonable from the couple of replies I got. Think I'll give it a spin, thanks.
I haven't played too far, but from what I understand there's nothing about random difficulty jumps. The real issue is that without taking certain things into consideration it's possible to paint yourself into a variety of unwinnable scenarios that require either keeping old saves or starting over.
Another World just hit Steam. Is anyone crazy enough to buy it and see if there are any differences beyond achievements (well, and the five years added to the anniversary) that separate it from the version on GOG?
It's still in the top-five-ever games, so why not. (it's going to be the same game)
I like to get newer games on Steam and keep the older stuff 100% DRM free on GOG.
I can pretty much guarantee it's the same awesome game.
AOE2 HD next week too.
Did the GOG version have difficulty modes? I got 15th Anniversary back when Chahi was selling it on his site before GOG, but I don't remember the difficulty modes.Quote:
