The Psionic attacks did get frustrating, especially when it caused the death of a soldier who had been around for a long time.

I loved XCOM...right up until all the battles started involving really annoying psionic attacks against the teams. I basically thought that was a huge flaw.

It was obnoxious as hell, for two reasons:

1) By the time psionic attacks started, you'd have a good team of soldiers developed, but would have no idea who had good psionic resistance because you needed to capture psionic aliens to research that... So most of your time, it'd turn out your all-stars with great action points, shooting accuracy and reflexes had the mental toughness of a slug.

2) The damn attacks were much too powerful, or the computer "cheated" somehow - I remember hacking my team's resistances to mind control to the max at some point in frustration, and it made almost no difference.
