Looks like it'll be free on Game Pass? Crusader Kings 3 by the looks of it. That or I don't understand this Xbox/PC platform shit.

Well hey, nice to know they'll be some thoughts on it by users in here before full release. Also full OST out now

Exceptions to the rule exist but usually if it's on Gamepass, it's for both PC/Xbox immediately. And yes, W3 will be day one for PC for subscribers to the system (and CK3 too but I dunno why anyone wants to play that day one).

I think some people here might be confused about how this works. Backers are getting keys, yes, but the game still won't be available for download until launch day.

I see people are going to pirate this, is pirating this as a payment for NumaNuma and Wasteland 2 a valid moral argument? I mean, if Brian scammed me twice, can I scam him once? It is a karma thing.

pirating is only valid if you are on one of the platforms that they delayed the release for

Clever people should wait for the better version with less bug and complete contents even for pirated games.

GET HYPE

Honestly, this looks better than WL2 in pretty much every way, which is a great sign. WL2 Directors cut was decent, albeit abit based and tedicious in the long run, but still quite enjoyable..

I expect WL3 to improve upon all the bad shit from WL2 and enforcing the good parts, making it somewhat of a fairly decent RPG this time around, as well.

Certainly it's gonna be one of the most hyped releases this year, save for CP 2077.

We'll see come friday won't we, though?

I'll do a mini/medium first impressions post during the weekend.

I'm looking forward to this, but since I still haven't played all the kickstarter RPGs I backed in the last couple of years, I think I won't play Wasteland 3 for at least a year. I will probably wait for the definitive edition.

Claimed my key.

In short: Expect a lot of reading. I mean a LOT. Expect edginess. Better graphics, and I dare say, better combat.

How did you get your key? I haven't gotten any email yet and this crowdox page has the actual Wasteland 3 item in my pledge "locked by digital fulfillment"

I recall liking WL2, minus some odd crashes, and having troubles at the final area due to lack of ammo or something before the DC hit.

I dunno I really enjoyed WL2, I do hope WL3 isn't just a crap shoot it looks good.

Is this good?

I'm not sure why some devs are so focused on their RPGs being fully voiced. This has always proven to be a detriment for dialogue-heavy games, and adds on untold hours to dev when it could've been spent on other things.

I dunno, maybe I'm a cheap bastard.

Simple. Broad audience is requesting it. They cba to read lines and lines of text from a couch or something. Why do you think Larian recorded tons of additional VO for already a released game - D:OS?

Depends on the budget, also like jack above mentioned sadly the broad audience wants fully voiced stuff. How much money Microsoft gave to Wasteland 3 is a damn mystery but given the quality it seems it was a lot.

I'm kinda optimistic, I enjoyed W2 even with its flaws.
