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

European Superstar Brother None ? :D

Hey I'm just relieved Chris didn't go with my new official job title "Faithful Underling"

 

[himmy]

Didn't try the EA for Wasteland 2, but I really hope, from the impressions I've heard around here, that they will pull a Larian, where the difference between even the final beta update and the release was tremendous, to the point that it was surprising on how much they improved stuff like pathfinding, stability and all sorts of stuff I didn't even realize could be bettered in the last push.

I liked D:OS throughout beta, but I was convinced it will be a (oh, so familiar) flawed gem, rather than the (largely) polished product it was released as. Come on, inXile! You can do it!

Cool update in character creation, can scale your avatar bigger or smaller, nice touch, might make it easier to tell rangers apart at a glance, appreciate the addition, saves me the trouble of scaling my rangers in the save files.

INCLINE

90-120 FPS in the opening area

Granted this is at 1024x768, I don't have my other monitor plugged in, but it looks like the game is finally using the video card.



There's a significant FPS drop during dialogue when the text is scrolling for some reason, which is very strange. Haven't checked out the inventory FPS yet either (which was the worst).

 

[Cazzeris]

The game looks much better than before, and it runs finer too. I also love the opening movie, which fits perfectly.

But the game lets you choose from much more portraits at earlier versions, where did they all go?

I also miss that rotating badge from the loading screen. I want it back at a bigger size.

 

[Sensuki]

To me it (graphically) looks the same, there's still this strange glossy feeling from the overall graphics, probably due to post-processing. I would like some more options in the Graphics settings to turn stuff like that off.

I'm just uploading a video I made now to report a microstutter in the inventory screen, although I couldn't get the Bandicam FPS overlay to work on the video itself.

 

[Sensuki]

Submitted it on CenterCode as well. Unfortunately I couldn't get the FPS from Bandicam to display in the video

I haven't seen the update yet, but I'm going to guess that portraits may have been removed if they were assigned to important NPCs. Don't worry, I'm sure more are coming, and if not, there are always customs.

all I want to know if the towns still pop up from the ground on the world map

It's deliberate - MCA deconstructed the popamole.

all I want to know if the towns still pop up from the ground on the world map

This is clearly the most important aspect of an rpg.

 

[Grotesque]

Here you have it folks!
When uploading this... picture, I marked it as "adult content" because no young minds should be subjected to such horror.

 

[FeelTheRads]

Well, the important half is there.

 

[Grotesque]

Akita figurine +2 to animal whisperer. Because you know... magic!

Maybe one of those oh so funny jokes?
Or is magical equipment a thing in this game?

 

[Grotesque]

I've played for 15 minutes and all of a sudden I had the urge to exit the hell out of this game. Those annoying radio conversations were a threat to my well being it seems.

 

[DosBuster]

Someone post a screenshot of the new loading screens, don't know why but I'm curious about them.

 

[Onholyservicebound]

There was some magical equipment, lucky rabbit's foot was all I remember.. The new patch added a lot of magic though..for some reason.

 

[Infinitron]

I think Chris Keenan has been Sawyerized.

 

[Sensuki]

Oh wow. I haven't played this properly for a while but I just noticed that the game now has left click move, edge scrolling AND right mouse camera rotate - three suggestions I posted at the start of the beta

:D :D

It always had edge scrolling, people were just too lazy to look at the options menu so they finally enabled it by default

 

[Sensuki]

Fair enough.

It should always be default in top down
