Which classic Xcom game is seen as better?
Kinda curious on what people think is the better game between UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep. For my measure, i prefer UFO Defense.
TFTD has some aspects that annoy me. Like not being able to use the rocket launcher and rocket launcher above water, so you can't use them in terror missions. The overall nerfs to the weapon counterparts. Like the Jet Harpoon is much weaker than the Rifle, Gauss weapons are weaker than the Laser weapons, etc etc. Requiring a live Deep One to get end game armor is also BS, considering Deep Ones really only appear in the early game.
I think UFO also does more with its setting than TFTD.
