Review RPG Codex Review: Wasteland 2

[cvv]

Just put my first 3 hours into Wasteland 2. All I can say is: Fuck the haters.

Wait for California. Then you'll say fuck the haters twice.

True, and still there is another patch in the work that i am waiting before continue playing the game.

 

[JarlFrank]

So the patches work with old savegames? I should install them.

Hmm, you wanna be careful with that. Sometimes they break.

I think VD gave the too many trash mobs, too much looting together with annoying skill animations, and no fast travel a quick pass so that we wouldnt accuse him of comparing it to AoD, but goddamn that shit sucks. Id love to replay the game and try other paths but no way im sitting through all those fights again, and Im sure as shit not gonna open any containers. Ill rather just hack me Outdoorsman skill to avoid encounters and some scrap and be done with it.

Read more of his reviews, these things never really bothered him (for the best example see: Dragon Age: Origins).

Give it another 3 hours, you'll see.

Put in 5. This game is mediocre.

I beat Fallout 2 + RP for the first time this past X-Mas and had to adjust the combat speed to 200% even with that shit.

Combat in Wasteland 2 is too slow, repetitive thus far. The humor is nonexistent. I could give a rat's ass about my pre-made squad. Hopefully things pick up.

^ EDIT: I boosted combat and text speed to 3x through the options menu, and the game runs much more to my preference.

 

[Invictus]

Raise from your grave!

How about an updated DC review VD?

 

[Bubbles]

We've already accepted a review key, so we're pretty much honor bound to publish at least one sentence about the DC.

 

[Daedalos]

So what's the status on that updated review on the DC version?

 

[Bubbles]

I believe mindx2 should know more.

Oh my, did I promise a review on this one....?

Well, it's complicated: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/index.php?threads/wasteland-2-directors-cut-review.103806/

 

[mindx2]

Oh yeah. Well that's not gonna happen. Not with all my selling going on and me having to get my class ready for the start of the year. While I enjoyed it for what it was, I have no intention of slogging through it again to refresh my memory.

We'll let that stand as the official Codex DC review.

I like this part better.
