Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

[Sensuki]

It should be universal I think.

 

[Decado]

So after all the bitching and moaning in the Beta thread the game turned out to be quite good in the end? That's a nice surprise.

Criticism always seem to come a bit later, not a few hours into the game. I think it was the same thing even with Shadowrun Returns. Even Skyrim iirc was well received in the first 2 or 3 days over the critical side of the Internet.

Not that this game is not improved or anything, just saying why not many detractors are posting right now.

This is true. This is why I always like the Codex's review, because it comes a ways after the game has been released. Everyone has had a chance to calm the fuck down.

Infinitron SSAO doesn't slow down the game for me - only the gfx-cooling fan gets louder.

The Steam store page barely indicates that it's out. From what I'm seeing it needs to be promoted a lot more heavily now, or most people won't even know.

I guess it's because WB decided to have a promo weekend.

If you are complaining about the UI size, and have not looked in the options menu for the very conveniently labeled "HUD Scale" slider, kindly punch yourself in your tiny worthless nuts.

The last game I played to use real action videos like that was Red Alert ..

So you should monocle yourself a bit and buy Tesla Effect.

Yes thankfully they got that in there now. That is what I hoped for when I complained about the lack of promotion. When I was talking about it, the spot that Wasteland 2 is occupying now was occupied by the WB Publisher Weekend.

So whats the verdict?

Good, shit, KC?

 

[Konjad]

so far (but i'm not far in) it feels like a decent game (with shit camera).

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

some skills feel redundant (disarm alarms/traps? repair mechanical/toasters? pick locks/safes?)

I don't know what do you talk about, I have constant use of those skills.

that's exactly the problem: constantly having to use different skills, maybe even on different toons, to accomplish something which by logic would be the same task or maybe just a little slightly different. they're just skill points sinks, time sinks and patience sinks.

 

[Jezal_k23]

The game runs kinda weird for me. Not bad. Just kinda weird. Anyone else?

 

[Reject_666_6]

19 pages and no mention of Mrs Cocks?

Let me try this in here since nobody seems to be reading the newsthread:

Anybody else have any experiences good/bad about continuing a save from one of the last big betas? I last played the game after the "Pretty much all of Arizona" update and yesterday hit "continue" expecting a crash or at best just not loading, but sure enough it loaded. Some missions in my log which I HAD completed were marked as uncompleted, but it let me travel to LA either way...and so far everything seems normal, though I'm only a few minutes into the first Act II area.

Sea made a post about it. Here it is in case you missed it:

Edit: Nevermind, wrong quote. Can't hope to find it anymore. But the gist of it was that it's technically possible, but you may run into some extra bugs and your squad might be more powerful than intended as the result of the beta.

Well, I don't see the problem about this to be honest.

 

[Cadmus]

sea when is the first patch due? I cant wait to get my hands on this baby and defile it

 

[Volrath]

That shitty fucking camera is sucking out all of my will to play the game further.

I don't know if it's a patch, but something is downloading now.

 

[DosBuster]

Size?

I'm still waiting for felipepepe's review.

I'm not sure if I'm going to play it so soon... is it solid already, or maybe it's better to wait 1-2 months for patches?

This is probably what I'm going to do as well*. Might start a new D:OS play through since the major update was released or perhaps SR: Dragonfall which I never got around to playing yet.

Spoiler

Plus, I was really hoping to have my map and manual right next to me when I started playing but THAT WON'T BE HAPPENING ANYTIME SOON, APPARENTLY!!!

[felipepepe]

Yeah, I still need to finish D:OS... I was playing in co-op with my brother, but I was BETRAYED, EXCHANGED, REPLACED by a girlfriend.

Fucking casuals.

 

[Cadmus]

So we now sell half the game but bugged and then later add the manual, the pre-paid bonuses and then eventually ship the now-oh-so-obsolete box. Amazing. You guys might as well have moved the release date to when you got this shit ready.

I had the stupid idea to do the same but luckily realized that for the TRUE RPG (TM) experience you need to take the time and fuck around and a second person to be dependent on is just a bad idea.

 

[DosBuster]

I think this was Deep Silver's fuck up Cadmus, inXile don't have any control over it.

 

[ak1raa]

Sup everyone. Idk is it bug or wut, but i still cant pass dat AG center quest. Anyone knows how to add serum into east water tank? Dont want to ruin current walktrough.

Ok, I'm not even mad at inexile, it's just that these are really the only games I follow and I hate to see such a horrible approach from these companies and I kinda wish people weren't so accepting of it. Sure, after a few months the game will be ready and done and for the next few years it will be golden and a great fun, the same way nobody cares VtMB was buggy at release but I just wish they took their time with it and done it properly.
