Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[WalkinDude]

so this is the place where teenage angst has come to die...

Don't worry, tumblr's still fighting the good fight

 

[Wulfric Pinewood]

I really hope and it seems real (as i have Wasteland 2 with ea for long enough) that W2 will be for post apo games same "back on the right path" in great style as DOS is now for fantasy setting. Im already bored with these new fallouts, which are only playable heavily modded (and still earthbound and weak as shit) or playing F1/F2 with mods for ten thousand time, over again.
We need real shit for post apo games, not another Fallout from Bethesda (let them stay with ES series, im sure they are just better at fantasy setting)

oh, that innocence...

This thread sure has died off hey.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

How long has it been since the last update?
IIRC there aren't any more until release, nothing to say til then. I mean, there's some Wall of text bullshit taking about fanboys or something, but who the fuck wants to read all that instead of talking about games that are actually released?

Have seen a few of those anti-fanboy wall-o-texts on the 'Dex recently, in fact there's another superb example on the DOS thread...

I am sure Roguey would want a bit more talk about W2 and especially PoE :p

No need to worry on this score to be honest; Underrail looks like it will be the game you're looking for.

I'm still hopeful for W2, but I've now migrated from the camp of 'will buy when its released' to 'will wait to see what the reviews are like and if the game seems ok will buy'. I really hope that W2 isn't disappointing; Wasteland was probably my favorite game as a teenager, hell I can still remember the day I bought the game and was admiring the box / contents / manual driving back home, but I'm becoming increasingly doubtful that W2 will preserve any of those good memories.

Must have missed it, all I saw going on in there was the PoE vs D:OS thing, anything against those people is more anti-retard than anti-fanboy. Given that one's released and one hasn't had a beta.

I-I- wasn't...arguing?

This is the Codex; you're always arguing.

truer words were never spoken

I really do want to believe Fargo's words.

Also, apparently if you go rogue there's an entirely seperate "bad guy" path with it's own ending. Since when was this a thing?

 

[Excidium]

Fallout 3 had 300 endings

Oh, damn! Neat.
I know DivOS set the bar up pretty damn high, but I still hope WL2 will find it's own success. (Fuck Unity tho)

 

[Decado]

D:OS is a pretty great game, but a lot of Codexers need to calm the fuck down about it. The guys at Obsidian (or even inXile, I think) have a pretty good chance to have an equally strong impact on the RPG landscape.

The three of these games are not even really comparable. They do different things.

 

[Jack Dandy]

That's a given. Of course, I hope all of 'em make it big...
However, DivOS' success was boosted by it's co-op a LOT more than I thought it would.

The other "big" RPGs don't have that.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

I think even those who really enjoy DOS acknowledge its flaws. But it's still great to see a turnbased RPG with environmental interaction and no quest compass doing well... perhaps a new group of gamers will enjoy the tb gameplay and we'll see more games like this.

But despite all the negativity over WL2 I hope the final product does ok, it wouldn't be great to have a flop as they ramp up work on Torment. Let's face it, there will be plenty of criticism and edginess on the Codex over all these games, but it's easy to forget how starved we were for decent games before these kickstarters. If Larian, Inxile and Obsidian all get decent sales and become self-sustaining without publishers then the future looks a lot brighter.

 

[Daedalos]

I really do hope WL2 will be good.. so far D:OS has proved to be strong contender in the new RPG's... but I do think people also need to calm down abit about D:OS.

WL2 will be a quite different setting, style and game from D:OS, though.


Man I love that new Dr. Goochman picture... callback to the Master of Fallout 1... Aweesome


Also I think people are forgetting that D:OS spent a lot of time in development before even making it to kickstarter.

It would be like if InXile finished WL2 the way it is now, and THEN made a new kickstarter to expand the existing content and make new stuff and polish for another year or 2..

Thought process:

step 1: Make an alt

step 2: say the same shit I always say :D

step 3: use the same paragraph structure and smiley density

step 4: ???
step 5: profit!!

 

[Metro]

Isn't this supposed to be out in like a week or something?

 

[Onholyservicebound]

a month, and wow that time went fast for me, thought it was still a few months away.

Bit more than a month still, as we're targeting the end of summer 2014. Time flies!
