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

It was? I only remember starting from it and radio'ing to it pretty much, was there any reason to visit there during the game?

 

Oh my fucking god that's amazing.

EDIT: Oh. Well. That thread isn't really that bad, actually. I really thought there was going to be a "dog training" element there.

 

Well fuck it I misread your post, you already said about promotions. I honestly can't remember if it was used for anything else, but I remember dropping by.

 

Also: That juggling bit made me choke on my wine. Brilliant.

 

This thread and the forums over there just make me hope Fargo ignores the chittering monkeys and does what he has already proven he can do. Design and make a good game without having people look over his shoulder to tell him what to do. No point in getting rid of the marketing and finance suits if you let their place get taken over by the typical forum rabble.

 

You called there with your radio phone to do that. Not sure if same thing could be done with a physical visit, but even the it'd be just pointless extra travel compared to using the radio.

 

Nope - physical visit was only useful for creating new party members.

 

I wouldn't overreact. Maybe it's just his sense of humor or even a misused / wrong translated word. The rest of his post sounds serious (but not bright). Keep in mind he could be very young, too.

 

Trash, you're a real bro!
But still, there's a real chance Fargo WILL listen to input. So we must continue the good fight, and be ever vigilant for heathens!

 

This thread in particular strikes me as quintessential Andhaira;

1) Ridiculous premise, borderline nonsensical.

2) Lack of actual debate, kind of a troll dump if you will.

3) The 'Discuss!' at the end

It's one of the accounts earlier entries too, along with other 'dump' threads. Not sure what to think of it, but the stealth troll of 'juggling' certainly rekindled my suspicions.

He knows if he's too overt about it, he's banned, so I would nuke first and ask questions later to be quite honest.

 

I can't wait to have the best RPG in the last 10 years ruined (or saved?) by Andhaira. He's our Vault Dweller, banished because of his knowledge and influence.

"And Wasteland itself could be a mini-game in this game because it really is a mini-game itself."

Definite Andhaira confirmation?

Goddammit it's so annoying to have him over there. I don't want to do the shoot first and ask questions later thing but I'm not an expert at identifying him, so I have no idea. If this thread is dedicated to identifying Andhaira alts from now on I'll be happy.

Is there a usual IP set he can be identified by? This one had an rr.com IP.

 

Looks like a proxy. He must be a hacker or something.

 

Did someone call? The problem is I like Russia and Pakistan.

 

Once I played this Wasteland 2 and I like it enough, I might give Wasteland 1 a try despite it's awful, awful graphics. I can only tolerate graphics that are so old. Sprite based I can tolerate anything newer than 16-bit era. 3D graphics 64-bit or newer. Some of those Playstation games with 3D graphics look like fucking shit. Can't tolerate that crap.

 

Give Wasteland 1 a try. The graphics aren't bad, you could do far worse. And the character portraits are actually pretty damn good considering it came out in '88. The game is way better and fun than the graphics might make you believe.

 

Why is there no nega-brofist for occasions like this?

 

I find that as the graphical quality goes down, artistic quality also tends to get lost as well. It's less me being a graphics whore and more being an art-style whore. Compare the box art, which sets the mood quite well, with the intro screen and the in-game images. Generic looking and boring. It doesn't set it apart from other games. It's not the games fault for that lack of style due to graphical limitations, but I still don't like it.

 

Yeah, the portraits are pretty good. I'm being a bit harsher than I should be honestly. It still looks generic as hell though.

Troll possibly, but then other people start to say this is a good idea. o_O

 

He can ask for a pocket calculator version for all I care, the simple fact is he won't get it. These people need to learn to read
