I was attempting to play the original xcom last night and was getting slaughtered. I'm not going to take credit for my team being filled with holes from alien plasma rifles though. You see, the game has absolutely no tutorial or instructions and most of the buttons are just pictures and you have to guess at what their purpose is and hope your guy doesn't shoot his self in the face.

Who designs a game like this! Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! God damnit! Why do my people keep dropping their guns and running away! Aaaarrrrghghghhgh! Why is this considered a classic goddammit! This is just stupid and frustrating!

So, a friend informed me that to get your guy to actually fire his weapon at an alien you have to click on the guy then his gun then the fire action button (I'll have to figure out which one that is) and then on the alien you want to shoot at... and no where does it say or show anything like that anywhere in the game.

So I'm kind of angry at this game and tonight I'm going to attempt one last time to get my guy to not drop his gun and run face first into alien plasma rounds and maybe, just maybe, shoot one of them instead.
