Wasteland Wasteland 2 Thread - Director's Cut

[jagged-jimmy]

GOG shows "Original game: Wasteland 2" and "DLC: Wasteland 2 Digital Deluxe Edition Upgrade" for download. Which one is the right one?

The upgrade is just novellas and soundtrack.

Rock, Paper, Shotgun, scoreless:

I don’t have any major complaints about Wasteland 2 and I’m planning to play through it again, but all of the minor quibbles have coalesced. It’s a game that has started to feel like a burden and even though I enjoy unwrapping it and mucking about with what’s inside, there’s an awful lot to unpack every time.

To end on a positive, it’s a surprisingly pleasant game, despite the inherent grimness of the setting. Violent it may be and the humour is often dark, but there’s an offbeat and jocular heart in the beast. For all its mechanical similarities to the RPGs of yesteryear, it’s that character, wit and playfulness that most capably satisfied my nostalgia and made me look forward to whatever InXile put their minds to next. I’ve criticised all of Wasteland 2′s foibles, but that’s because my relationship with it is complicated. I wish it were just a little more sharply dressed and not quite as fussy, but I do love it most of the time, although not necessarily from one hour to the next.​

PC Gamer, 83/100.

It took Brian Fargo 26 years to get to revisit the world of the Desert Rangers. It took a $3 million Kickstarter campaign to fund inXile’s initial development. And it took a welcome resurgence in complex computer role-playing games to make it all possible. Wasteland 2 lives up to its legacy. It’s a game that has come full circle—from inspiration for Interplay’s Fallout, to spiritual successor for that franchise’s roots. This wasteland is deep and dark and dangerous, and a great place to get lost in.​

Digital Spy, 4/5.

Wasteland 2 might be daunting to newcomers, then, but its a sequel that successfully captures the strategic depth and black humor of the original.

Brian Fargo and his team at InXile have delivered a quintessential role-playing experience with infinite possibilities.​

Just basing off the launch trailer, I live in Australia so.. terrible internet.

 

[Oesophagus]

Fuck, and I have to sit at work till 7 PM...

Well at least I figured out the theme for my rangers:

 

[Sensuki]

So with the steam version, how do you get the FLAC soundtrack? Mine has downloaded MP3s instead.

[Oesophagus]

Ok, so how is it performance-wise? My last go was about 2 months ago, and I didn't get very far in the beta because the choppiness just annoyed me

 

[Ulminati]

So did the codex backers get their keys yet or did DarkUnderlord pass them on to his MENSA buddies?

Relax. It's being taken care of.

Also, where are the steam cards and cheevos?

 

[Astral Rag]

Those things are only available for people who purchased the Timed ULTILMATE Red Boots DLC

I'm completely relaxed. I backed on KS and Kodex both.

That's funny, my GOG version doesn't have any extras but my Steam version does.

Main vs. extra copies. You only get one "main" copy with the bonuses you're due, any others are "extra" copies without the bonuses.

Damn..I gave the first digital dl code away to someone. Didn't even realize this was the 'main' one.

Was this even indicated, or did I just miss it ?

 

[Scroo]

Oh boy oh boy oh boy

 

[Diablo169]

So where are my steam achievements and trading cards!?



Joking aside I thought i saw Brian post about trading cards at least?

 

[PhantasmaNL]

Team created.

 

[MicoSelva]

Team created.

I wanted to make the A-Team too, but some guy on twitter already had this idea (Brian Fargo retweeted it). Or was it you?
