PMIK: I only really dabbled in X-com when I got it off an abandoware site many years ago. I remember the interface being quite irritating.
Do you think I'd get used to the interface with time? I always think that I might as well just stick with Jagged Alliance 2, which is very intuitive,
Hard to say. The interface really is quite terrible and seriously off-putting even for me who played the first two games to completion many years ago. It does get better when you get used to it, but the fiddly and needless micromanagement is still there. At this point, I'd recommend waiting for Xenonauts or the Firaxis remake instead; one of them is bound to turn out good.
