Wasteland Wasteland 2 Pre-Release Discussion Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

inXile could call this Old-School Edition and charge extra.

I upgraded my initial $20 pledge to $75 too, for the same reasons. I was toying with the idea of going for the $100 tier, but I can't really afford to pay $115 and inXile has decided not to reduce shipping fees to Europe even after striking a deal with Deep Silver (which is Europe-based).

 

Pfff. I'll wait for the code listing to be released in a magazine so I can type it down myself.

 

Lazy faggot, living out of other people's work... I'll fucking code my own Wasteland 2.

 

You bunch are so hardcore :p

 

Stupid should default to off. Awesome app tho, glad you guys support it on the codex

 

this thread now reminds me of a sketch...

Code! Royalty!

We used to have to invent our own programming language to play a game! And make our own vacuum tubes!

 

Never saw that coming

 

RAGE and stuffies.

 

Goddammit, Brother None....what's the MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEANING OF THIS?!

 

Wasteland 2 beta: Makes Fallout 2 without any patches look like a solid piece of software.

 

Damage control.

He was excited he says. Stay tuned he says .. hmmpff ..

 

Well what did you expect, the beta will have an influence on previews and sales, better if it makes a good impression. And I'm saying this un-cynically, by the way

 

You know it's bad when the BETA is not in a good technical state for release.

 

Nothing, really.

Of course tey want to make a better impression. Nowadays beta isnt a beta anymore.
I just hate that fucking american "exciting" catch phrase.

 

After their latest gameplay video, I would venture to say that they couldn't care less about creating bad impressions...

 

Sheeeeeeit.

Well, I'm comfortable waiting longer. Not pleased, but if they iron out shit before release, it'll end up better. Public betas like these aren't really betas, in the testing sense, they're first impressions.

 

Typical. Wait until the last two or three days of the month that you give as the release date to announce the delay. I'm pretty sure Fargo knew about the (non-ready) state of the demo since several weeks ago.

 

Not to mention the standard damage control routine of "we want the game to be more polished" to justify the delay of a beta.

 

I'd prefer the developers giving their most conservative ("worst case") estimates to the backers instead of those that seem most probable at the time. Also, whenever target dates are reevaluated internally, they should be reevaluated externally. People who finance this deserve transparency instead of having their intelligence underestimated (with the announcement of a missed deadline always coming at the last moment).

 

I'd never underestimate the optimism of any given developer. It's possible they really thought they could get it out by the 31st two days ago.
