XCOM: Enemy Within

So I just snagged this off amazon while it's down to $25. Essentially just Enemy Unknown w/ an integrated expansion. Anyone here have any experience with the more recent XCOM games? I've personally never played one before but everything I've heard makes them sound awemazing.

I've never played any but it seemed interesting.. I heard about the older ones a while back but I never got around to playing them.. I grabbed a bunch of the old ones and enemy unknown in a bundle for 11$ so I'm gonna check it out sometime

I played Enemy unknown.. its decent game but I got bored after a while, because missions are basically same, with just different and more difficult enemies.. but just the same pattern, do this and this and this.. and then do it again and again and so on.

I had a long obsession with this game after getting it, and I picked it up again recently and have been playing the hell out of it. I've been working my way through another playthrough to refresh myself on the gameplay before installing this mod, http://www.nexusmods.com/xcom/mods/88/? which makes it significantly more complex and challenging. Any other shroomery people get into this game at all since I initially made this thread?

You got through Classic/Impossible+Ironman in Enemy Within? Color me impressed. I've beaten classic but I wound up reloading old saves a lot to experiment with different build/research orders. Had I been playing with Ironman enabled I definitely wouldn't have cleared classic without significantly more attempts at it...and impossible? the less said about my one foray into that particular difficulty the better. I managed to get to the 3rd battle before I accidentally triggered 3 packs of aliens with one move and got my squad wiped in one turn.

Ironman wasnt' required for the trophy. Did a lot of reloading on that harder difficulty tho. I don't think I would have enjoyed Ironman.
