Game News Wasteland 2 Kickstarter Update #23: Gameplay Video!

You can have your opinions all you want. That doesn't make you right or less of a moron.

 

The enemies seem to have very rudimentary AI, the combat in/combat out screens are unnecessary and "brute force" skill is still retarded, but looks p. good for WIP.

 

Well....it finally happened. I shit myself and came at the same time. Thanks a lot Inxile, now I have a terrible mess to clean up.

I think this met or exceeded my expectations of where I thought this game would be by now in just about every area. Keywords are good. I thought the dialogue system could be great. Descriptions were awesome. Party controls seemed easy and intuitive. Combat might be pretty sweet with lots of tactical options available. Skill checks everywhere.

So far I am happy that this will be the most expensive video game I have ever purchased.

Nice!

 

Brute force skill. Seriously, why not just use strength? Or weapon skill if you are pounding a door with a melee weapon?

Also, I hope enemies will have a larger field of view in the game. They are practically blind.

 

this is the codex. Having Your Own Oppinion™ DLCforum extension is 10usd.

 

Oh boy, oh boy

 

Hopefully you are wrong and this is just the result of someone trying out an idea that didn't quite work out.

 

Skills are how you interact with the world. So it's very gamey, but consistent that everything needs a related skill to use.

The camera doesn't seem half as annoying as people say it will. The movable camera in DoW never bothered me.

I think the GUI looks great.

But can you grapple it?

Roguey given your votes for worst RPGs of all time, can I assume that "mediocre" is actually extremely high praise or is it mediocre in a relative sense?

 

Man I just love it. I thought I will never play a new game that's not a dumbed down shit. This is glorious, no matter that some retards shit on it, nothing can spoil it now for me. I have seen the light.

 

It looks fantastic. I can't wait !





Rotating camera is shit tho.

 

While I admit that there wasn't much to the vid, I will say that proof of life is promising.
It seemed more a showcase of some base things.
And I'm fine with that.

 

I either missed it during Kickstarter or they never mentioned anything about that, but what about environmental destruction? Will it be in to some extent at least? Would love Silent Storm-like...

 

Go play, like, NW2 or something dude.

 

Looking solid but some issues. Perception cones for enemies is a lame concept. No way should the player have access to that kind of literal information. Key word dialogue has always been lame. No different here. It makes the PC look like a loser. Good stuff is the combat looks fun, the UI is serviceable even if not pretty. The description texts are cool and 9so far) look plentiful. And, the final metal 'spider' looks sweet and I WANT TO KILL IT!

Demo = 7.5/10 Glad I'm getting the game through PE.

 

Aren't cones of enemies only shown if you have high enough perception?

 

A good sign of life for this project. Text box descriptions were great. Overall, feel much better about WL2 versus the earlier mockup screens/crowd sourced models.

 

Key word dialogue was done fairly well in Wiz 8.
That was more like dictionary or whatever, but it involved alot of keyword stuff.

 

They said you needed to make a perception check. Tougher enemies might mean that your dudes need a higher skill.

I like it.

 

I don't care how high your perception is, it's a lame idea. Perception as many other sues. It's not needed here. Don't defend lameness. It's lame.

 

wtf.

 

A bit in agreement with Volly. However, if they do go the cone route, let it at least not be static cone. Different enemies have different types. Anything with more than 2 eyes must have some crazy shit.

 

I'll agree with that. I did think it a bit strange that the only sense that poor guard had was that limited cone in front of him. Will they detect proximity I wonder? Was that mentioned in the video? Sorry, watched early with coffee.
