Wasteland The Wasteland 2 Beta Release Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[hiver]

How the combat feels? Is it a good Tb system or what? Fun to use? Good diverse options in gameplay? Any attacks of opportunity? Hows the movement - just serviceable or gives interesting options?

 

[Sensuki]

I have clicked to attack. Or clicked to move if I haven't had enough action points.

And yeah that's it so far. I'll let you know when I have to do something different.

 

[Infinitron]

$25 for one day of beta!

Wait till you see how much the Early Access costs.

 

[TwinkieGorilla]

Also, congratulations people who paid extra specifically to play the beta, you got to do it a day earlier than anyone else. Hope it was worth it.

I paid to help fund the game and get some cool shit in the process.

*shrugs*

Anybody who ever paid for a game for specific and exclusive beta access deserves a special medal for being special in the first place.

 

[Invictus]

I don't blame him, it is a sound business strategy before they pirate the hell out of the game, this way he can get some money to finish up the game. I would buy it in a second if I could in GOG and getting the beta there

 

[AstroZombie]

I feel like this we'll have Planetary Annihilation situation here.

Edit: By that I mean a bunch of people will whine about the price one way or the other.

Wait, stupidly cheap or stupidly expensive?

 

[Sensuki]

cheap.

I don't know, I'm just saying "wait". I'm guessing it will be more expensive than the backer beta, but "fair".

cheap.

You are also trying too hard

 

[Sensuki]

Well you can buy the game now for $25 from the website.

 

[Western]

Should just charge $25 or $30 for it, then maybe do a few bucks off the early access at Xmas if they want to go cheaper.

 

[Excidium]

Looks really easy from the streams.

 

[Sensuki]

It'll be $25, or $29.99 at the most.

 

[Sensuki]

Looks really easy from the streams.

I've played for a couple hrs and I've yet to have a character below 1/2 hp in a fight. Mostly only get hit once or twice and that's healed by the time I've finished looting and swapping shit around in the inventory / reading stuff.

So far the character gen, the music and the writing/story and voice over are the best elements of the game.

 

[Infinitron]

"It's free bro. Because it's DRM Free it's already out on torrent websites lol"

...you're drunkposting, aren't you?

 

[Western]

Hopefully the higher difficulty setting will ditch the regen.

I don't drink

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Sensuki-> On what dificulty You play it?

Wouldnt a flow of incompetent players destroy the purpose of the beta?

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hopefully the higher difficulty setting will ditch the regen.

I hope they make it a toggle.

(Because it's an homage to the original game so I doubt they ditch it entirely.)

In all seriousness, since this is partially what betas are for, perhaps a Codexian representative could create a well-thought/stated thread about difficulty and auto-regen on their beta forum? I am not the one, but perhaps somebody quite unlike hiver could do the trick? Infinitron now is the time to prove you're not just a newsbot!

Ranger (the hardest), but it's not even medium difficulty. Needs a lot of tuning. Hopefully they add in unit cover, per my suggestion.

The auto-regen issue is already being addressed. As for the difficulty, I'm not convinced; seems like there are a lot of people on Fargo's Twitter etc getting their asses kicked a bit.

Actually this is the first time I've heard anybody said that the combat is flat-out easy. I'd have to play the game myself to be sure, of course.

 

[Sensuki]

Maybe it's easy by deliberate. Make it easy so all the reviewers give it good reviews ... get more backers

then turn it up for the full release laol troll'd /businessskils

You haven't played it ? WHAT?
