XCOM 2 sucks

My point exactly.

It takes about 1 minute max to do all of the decisionmaking involved in a turn. Actually doing the turn takes more like 2 min because of the animations your own people have to carry out, which is already pushing the patience of someone who values his time, but I think that part is within acceptable bounds still. Now follow that with "2-3 minutes max" of spectating and you have a cutscene/gameplay ratio that competes with Metal Gear Solid, except there's no voice acting or storytelling, just watching aliens walk around and crane their heads in the most laughably animated approximation of "looking around" ever committed to a commercial game.
