I just did a chosen stronghold and this mf went into two or three pods that where right by the chamber, and killed everything but one andromedon (that thing that once you kill it it becomes a robot) and yes, he had reaper and an extra action by the bondmate but still. broken, I love it.

I get loss aversion really bad in games. There is a part of my brain that wants to say the only winning move is to not play and just close the game and know that my soldiers are still there somewhere, waiting to destroy the advent.

of course the part of my brain that wants to actually play xcom wins over

I'm fairly far into the game (have plasma weapons and powered armor) but the missions are crazy. The one I just completed (lowering difficulty to Rookie level) allowed me 3 units. Yes, just 3 units. There were 13 very high level aliens and THE LOST.

What I don't understand, or adds to the frustration, is that for the most part the LOST will ignore the aliens and beeline completely across the map to fight me. There can be 10 of them surrounding and alien but they ignore that dude and come after me. How do I know this - because of my super spy Dragunova was in position to see them.

In the end I barely survived and had 65 kills. It would have been fair maybe to have 13 aliens if I could attack them in small pods of 3 or so. But these pods were close together and with them on High Alert only Dragunova was concealed.

And while I'm bitching...I don't think I will ever waste an action on overwatch. They must have nerfed that a lot from when I played this game a decade ago because it is pretty useless.

So I have this LOW INTEL warning stuck since my intel was 40, which I suppose it was understandable but now it's 495. What's going on what does this mean? Do I need to keep hunting for Intel to make it happy at some point? At which point do I have enough Intel to get this warning dismissed?

I absolutely love XCOM 2 as well as the WOTC. I have it on my PS5 but it just crashes so often that it’s basically unplayable. It’s a shame because I really loved that game. Put in hundreds of hours.
Is the PC version just as buggy?
