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

[Menckenstein]

They didn't localize Wasteland 2 as "Normalna Polska 2" ?

 

[t]

"IV RP 2"

 

[Brother None]

You're no Bethesda, inXile.

Good!

Our marketing budget is effectively nothing. Anything you see like this will have been done by distributors.

 

[Infinitron]

lol, review scores already coming in?

I'm pretty sure they don't have the final version.

 

[Country_Gravy]

I'm pretty sure anything the french say is not considered worthwhile. Although "graphismes" made me laugh for no apparent reason.

 

[felipepepe]

He specifically mentions that he couldn't play the Los Angeles area... what's the point in reviewing it then? And how the hell an uniformed reader will even know what that means?

Also, he really hated the translation.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

I have no idea what "duree de vie" means but I am happy that W2 is strong in this department

Spoiler

 

[Cazzeris]

That review says WL2 features adult writing.

I think it means that the game has a long duration.

If you think the gaming press is bad, you have not read the french gaming press. Ignore it altogether. The only decent stuff comes from Canard PC, and that's not where that review comes from.

It's true ( at least compared to beth ,bioware and Larian ).

I don't speak French, but I am pretty sure that "On Aime" and "On Aimes Moins" means aimed shots are in. And they tried to tell us it was only headshots. I knew they were holding out.

On aime is what they like about the game and on aime moins is what they dislike.

That's fucking silly. Stop causing confusion.

They do not. It says as much in the article.

Also, he really hated the translation.

Well yeah, the version he played was the same Early Access build everyone has, which has an unedited raw export from Get Localization as the localization. That's old and unpolished, and completely unrepresentative of final.

 

[Roguey]

I guess inXile's in no position to enforce review embargoes.

It's okay, game journalists are on their last legs anyway.

Wasteland 2 manual released!! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3LlgONcNnMUUnVzRGxiUUJYb2M/edit

 

[Jack Dandy]

Well, guess it's about time I read thru the thing and figure out what kind of party I'm gonna run in the game

 

[Grotesque]

I see Wasteland 2 has it's own version of vaultboy!

 

[Roguey]

99 pages sounds promising, especially compared to Larian's joke of a manual.

 

[Ivan]

"Wasteland 2 would not have happened WITH you..." ummmm

 

[Zombra]

Wasteland 2 manual released!! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B3LlgONcNnMUUnVzRGxiUUJYb2M/edit

Cool! Is this "official official" or "first draft / something I found official"? I imagine it's official official, but it would be nice to know ... er ... officially.

I'm an idiot.

 

[sea]

Yes, it's been officially released - see Facebook, official forums, etc.

 

[kain30]

well, this is going to be my night read today

 

[Roguey]

Awful lot of grogginess, but nothing I wasn't aware about. Disappointed in the lack of hard stats for equipment and especially difficulty settings. The latter better be detailed in the menu because

Difficulty adjusts base values such as Player Damage, Enemy Damage, Friendly Fire and Player CON Regeneration on level up, as well as a variety of other values.

isn't going to cut it.

I'm sure the simjerks will be disappointed in the lack of crouch movement at a higher AP cost. No doubt it's only absent because of the animation costs.

lollin' @ how Ghost is canon.

An unexpected surprise:

Certain keywords will be greyed out if they require a certain conversation skill the current speaker does not have. Move the mouse cursor over the greyed out keyword to see the skill requirements.

Joshliness, next to godliness.

And an unfriendly reminder:

4. YOU SHALL NOT:

Sell, rent, lease, license, distribute or otherwise transfer this Program, or any copies of this Program, without the express prior written consent of InXile.

Good thing they have that Steam dee arr emm on the physical copies to prevent reselling.
