Robber shoots at the cop six times point blank and misses every shot. Then the cop wrestles the gun away. I saw it a couple decades ago, but no luck on YT just now.
So an X-COM style game. Does that mean I can be standing right next to an enemy, have stat buffs, and still miss a shot at point blank range? Because that sure was fun and not frustrating at all.
OK, but that bank robber isn't a professionally trained soldier with stat buffs fighting to preserve humanity. Wee bit of a different setup in my mind.
