Sticking with Xcom for now. Better value for money. Even if the 4 hour Dishonored campaign rumours are false, you can still pour hundreds of hours into Xcom anyway.

Devs have spoken about the 4 hours thing

“My ghost and no kills playthrough took 22 hours. That’s without exploring every nook and cranny, and knowing the solution to everything beforehand.”

"Matt from Bethesda here. Four hours would be an unusually fast for a first playthrough. The average player is more likely to play through the game in 12-24 hours, with the total playtime varying depending on how much side content is played.

Not saying 4 hours is impossible though. Members of BGS did speedruns of Skyrim in 2 1/2 hours."

But yea XCOM should be amazing even if it's half the game the orignal was at the time.
