    You could probably do 5 Wasteland 2s with Skyrim's marketing budget. :negative:

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

    Good!

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

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

    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.

    That review says WL2 features adult writing.

    :hmmm:

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

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