Wasteland Have You Changed Your Opinion of WL2 Since the Beta?

[Decado]

Poll really says it all. I'm interested if people think the game has gotten better/worse since the beta. You need not have even played the beta to have an opinion on this. There have been enough livestreams and youtube videos to give people a lot of impressions.

Votes are public. Don't be a fucking baby.

ETA: Okay, they aren't public. But still don't be a fucking baby, as a general rule.

Except you haven't made the votes public

Unfortunately xenforo doesn't allow editing that option, so you might want to make a new thread if you do want the votes to be public. I could delete this one.

 

[DragoFireheart]

None of the above

I'm not setting any expectations for this game.

That's odd. I checked the box!

I put "I haven't liked it since release" but that is probably too strong. More like not as excited any more to play the real deal once it's ready, and glad I did not fund for some huge amount. I didn't actually play the beta but the mechanics don't seem great and nothing else anyone talks about sounds that great, either.

 

[Duraframe300]

Better. I expected it to be a well intentioned mess in the first place. It's still a mess from what I've seen, but a better one than I expected.

Yet another poll w/o KC.

 

[DalekFlay]

My opinion before the beta was "I'll buy this when it releases OMG CAN'T WAIT!!!"

My opinion today is "I'll buy this when it releases la la la la la la can't hear you fuck offfffffff...."

So... no?

Protip: Never add shitpost answers to a poll, they're guaranteed to get the most votes.

Shut the fuck up asshole

wl2 is pretty bad and so is this thread.

I played the early beta and saw no redeeming qualities. was hoping that the writing would be awesome because of everything else (graphics, sound, ui, character system, combat) being of russian shovelware-levels, but no, the writing is superfluous and void of charm.

I don't see myself playing the AG/highpool whatever stuff again just to get to any potentially "good stuff." if they think the latter stuff is so much better, then they should cut the shit parts out. just like they should have done some cutting in the writing.

Reviews like this really depress me. Still going to give it a whirl when it's fully debugged, though.

Surprising results compared to the butthurt in the main thread, it would seem that the people who never liked W2 and still don't spend more time there than those that do.

 

[Gakkone]

Haven't played it since I generally dislike playing unfinished games, and I mostly stopped reading the Codex impressions around the time when everyone got butthurt about the "arrow to the knee" jokes. I mean yeah, it's a bad joke, but jesus can people here overreact. It's hard to say how much of the criticism is justified and how much is just the result of edginess and bandwagoning, so I decided to just wait for the finished game and make up my own mind then.

Disclaimer: I've been biased by a positive attitude since the beginning.

So I played the beta within the first week of access. I liked it despite its many blemishes. I quickly lost my enthusiasm - I felt like I didn't want to spoil the content for the "real" release - anyway, I lost my hunger to play it and even dropped off the forums for a while.

Builds came and went without my playing them much if at all.

Then the latest build dropped with more character options, which I wanted to check out, so I fired it up again. I'm honestly impressed with how far it's come since the first public build. I was prepared to play and enjoy a game like the first build, but now I'm downright excited.

So yes, maybe the people who claim it's complete garbage are right and I'm just a fanboy for liking the game at all. I won't dispute that here. But the question the thread poses is "Is the beta better now than it was at first?" The answer is a resounding "YES".

I stopped following the game in april but unless a miracle happened my opinion remains the same

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Improvements across the board, was Canyon of Titan in at that point? That and Damonta are my favourite locations so far, a lot of the improvements have been visual: UI, new map, more character models. Music seems better, more varied too, as well they toned down some tunes that were really annoying. Added more reactivity to companion characters, opened up the world so you could visit most locations from the start.

It's still the same game however, at it's core, so if you hated what you'd played you'd probably go from that to indifference or dislike. Not that it matters since IIRC you're one of those.(Daedalos centipede)

Can be interpreted as expecting the game to have improved more than it has

 

[Onholyservicebound]

Given the question that seems equally retarded.

 

[Corporate_Jew_Master]

Where is the "Never buying into the Codex Hype again" option?

 

[Jaesun]

Gotten worse: I liked the beta at release, but I like the game less now.

What exactly is different that you no longer like it? Just saying you don't like it means absolutely nothing.

That's brilliant :D

 

[Lemming42]

I played the beta back in December or whatever and thought it kinda sucked, so I haven't played it since. I'm forcing myself to set aside any expectations at all and give the game a completely fair chance when it's finally released.

So none of the above I guess.
