Wasteland Wasteland 3 Pre-Release Thread [GO TO NEW THREAD]

[ADL]

Does anyone know when backers get their keys? I just checked my survey and it only references a digital key between GOG and Steam.

You should already have it. Check your spam folder. If they didn't email you your key, register on crowdox.com and get it manually.

You're right it was deep in there. Thanks.

This should have been Wasteland 2 all along. No money for the con artist from me.

So I just skimmed through some footage and I can't believe they ask €60 for this cheap trash. Looks like something made in Unity 4 engine 10 years ago. Fargo is really pulling a Trump on us here.

Wasteland 3 review: a devilish satire of post-apocalyptic America
The state of things.

inXile's old-school RPG is the Fallout game we've been craving.

 

[ADL]

As much as I hate to say it, I completely understand the sentiment. Wasteland 3's gameplay is sublime in comparison to all of those. Especially the combat. Most people aren't willing to play something as dated feeling as those. This along with Divinity Original Sin 2 set the standard for turn-based and Baldur's Gate III looks like an improvement over D:OS2 implementing a lot more verticality to the world.

Also what is top left? Online?

No that's Patrick.

Allowing reviews to be released before launch day is a sign of confidence in a game's quality.

How standards have fallen. That's the bare minimum, not a plus.

I wouldn't assume there will be a Director's Cut, especially since they had a same day multiplatform release this time.

Regardless if they make it a full separate release or not, the worst time to play these games is on release. If not for bugs, then for quality of life features and additional content / game modes that they'll add like 1 year after release. Wasteland 2, Bard's Tale IV, Divinity:OS, Pillars 1 & 2, Grimoire, Dragonfall, Kingmaker, etc... everyone who waited (even if they bought it on release) had a far better experience.

Apparently I'm retarded and can't tell left from right. What's top right?

[Häyhä]

So, has inXile got woke yet?

Judge for yourself.

"Hard Ass" and "Small Arms", certainly compliment each other nicely. :D

You either play a game years after release and have fun, but you are alone or you play it when it's released when you can be a part of conversation about the game, but it isn't as good.

So... I heard this was good. But is it though?

Also, don't forget about these wise words: “Yes, man is mortal, but that would be only half the trouble. The worst of it is that he's sometimes unexpectedly mortal—there's the trick!”.

That's not woke.

Btw Hard Ass was one of three speech check skills from Wasteland 2. All three were amazingly useless.

 

[croitav]

3d gfx? Check
Rotatable camera? Check

Conclusion? Same atrocity as wasteland 2

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

I think those gents love punk music not each other. :D

What do you think "star-crossed" means?

what, when I first read this I thought they loved punk rock not each other
what the hell

 

[Takamori]

If a bundle of wood sticks are a sign of woke you guys failed to pay attention to Los Angeles in W2. You basically save a gay couple relation.

Watched a playthrough and saw that this game follows DOS2's model of having every single fucking ground tile covered in some kind of status a la fire, smoke, etc.

Shame.

 

[Lord of Riva]

Well i got myself the gamepass for PC. Now I will actually play it. I would not have spend money on it after the disaster that was TTON and the mediocre shit that was the rest. Let's hope for the best.

Hard ass was the most useless one since you just had like 3-4 quests where it meant something.
Now Smart Ass is a must for several quests, you could only solve Rail Nomad quest with Smart Ass if you want the best outcome, if you want to save Mr. Manner from his retard cannibal diet you needed the skill and several other quests.
Kiss Ass is meh less quests compared to Smart Ass but much more compared to Hard Ass

If this is really true then this might be a big fat nope from me. As soon as I saw those electrical puzzles in all the previews I knew some stupid engine-based gimmicks were being thrown in and would take the focus off the important things like character development and good old-fashioned battlefield tactics.

 

[Butter]

It's amazing the reviews you can buy with Microsoft money.

 

[rusty_shackleford]

going to be honest, most of the premade characters seem awful. I hope the rest of the game is better.

The father/daughter one seems to be very wholesome and I'll probably end up picking it.
