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

[Infinitron]

ITT people cannot into ironically cheesy humor.

Eerything that is bad about Wasteland 2 is purposely bad for reasons

When's the last time you heard a pun that was sincerely trying to be laugh-out-loud funny? I don't think you're even old enough. I'll ask Brother None about it though!

Is not a bug, it's a feature.

I know they are trying to derive humour from the pun being bad. That's what is bad, that sort of thing is even less funny than puns.

I don't think you're even old enough.

Watch out for the ancient Infinitron, always sharing his great wisdom about role-playing games and related topics

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Stop analyzing the fucking pun, you guys look autistic enough as is.

'tis her screenshot looks shitty, lets use it as promo Material, later explain why it looks shitty instead of taking a normal screenshot'

They seem to have excuses ready for every shitty decision/feature in the game. Don't worry - it'll be better when it's released for real. It's just a beta.

Dude, you ask the weirdest questions. BN must love you.

Infinitron: So, what's with that pun?
BN: Huh, what? Dunno lol

Infinitron back on Codex: Guyz, not even BN knows about it must be something really deep!!!

 

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

I loved the part when he pointed out that hiring Sea was a proof that they were swimming in money. And how Bugsidian would make millions just releasing PoE as an EA game. Such leaps of logic. Fanbois gonna fanboi, I guess.

What a strange complaint. Would you rather they didn't have excuses? I'll let the man speak for himself but I assume Brother None took that screenshot yesterday and couldn't just wait for them to fix the build because the update had to go out.

 

[Lancehead]

Excusing possible excuses. How about not having to come up with excuses?

 

[Volrath]

Not strange at all. Fargo is a big picture PR man. He gave "Fallout" its name. That's what he excels at, he can organize projects, package and sell them. Other skillsets are less prominent.

Yeah, just look at how he bamboozled the Codex.

As far as I know Brother None did not take that screenshot. If you want me to 'sperg about it, it looks to me like lack of AA (since it's not working right now) + the fact that it was shot at 720p and upscaled for some reason (yes, I can tell the resolution from the HUD element size/position, FML).

 

[Brother None]

The update had to go out on Friday because we needed to give a week's notice on the $10 thing. AA is broken in the current build. I told our AD we need a shot, he got it to me in about an hour, it was the end of the workday on Friday for them (and 2am here), so out it went.

There's a difference between excuses and reasonable explanations, and I'm not really in the habit of lying about anything. I remember back when a lot of people ragged on early screenshots and we'd point out it's early WIP and the game would look much better. That wasn't an excuse, it was a reasonable explanation, the game looks absolutely fine now. It should be notable for anyone that that screenshot has no AA anyway, it was the first thing I asked our AD when he got it to me.

 

[tuluse]

I fucking hate people who complain about the graphics in this game. They are just fine.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Why are we discussing graphic? Let's do another reactivity round instead

 

[sser]

I think the graphics are pretty ugly, but graphics don't really bother me much. Every time someone's like "the textures here are a little weird" I just don't know what they're talking about. Maybe gaming out on budget systems all my life has taught me to ignore graphical faults.

What's amusingly ironic in this short episode is that it was Infinitron who made it look like you had something to cover up by posting an 'explanation' on your behalf right after posting the update.

This thread is my daily source of drama on the Codex and I hope it continues forever.

As long as graphics in a game are at a baseline compotency for the current generation, why does anyone care? Are you playing the graphics or playing the game?

 

[Excidium]

Can't stop looking at the graphics while playing the game.

Also funny thing, nobody was complaining about the graphics. Wasteland 2 fans sure are defensive about it

 

[Cazzeris]

I see more people talking about people disliking graphics than people disliking graphics.

 

[Zed]

I dislike the graphics.

(not gonna say they ruin the game tho, tee hee)

 

[felipepepe]

After the patch fixed the BLOOOOOM issues, the graphics are probably the strongest point of the game now. Not that they are fantastic, but they do their job nicely.

Nah, the music is the best part.
