Don't mind the neg. reviews. (Linux)

Short review - I read all the negative reviews, but bought the game (on sale) anyway. I'm glad I did. Still in my first campaign and I understand why the game has some of these reviews. The game is not boring but it does have it's technical problems, as in it crashes every so often. Save your games and it's a non-issue. There are people who have reported fixing their problems for good, I have not achieved that yet but might care enough eventually to fix it, it doesn't crash enough for me to care. The devs were not lazy making this game, it just has some high and low points to it. They did a good job making this like the old-school rpg games, lot's of nostalgia items and quotes that I'm sure a lot of the kids don't understand or have memory of. Fun game, I hope they make another.

Fallout: New Arizona

I received the "Director's Cut" of Wasteland 2 for free a while back and what a gem it turned out to be! - If you're a fan of the turn-based isometric role-playing-games like Fallout 1 & 2 and enjoy the western look of New Vegas, then my friend you're in for a treat. The two series share so many similarities that for a long time I actually thought they were set in the same post-apocalyptic world. - Sadly, I fear Fallout/Wasteland fans will be the only ones that truly appreciate this title, since newcomers will be immediately put off by the DATED GRAPHICS and difficulty in CREATING A COMPETENT TEAM. - Fear not however, as there are many guides to creating the "perfect team" found over the internet. I admit to even using a mod called "Wasteland 2 save and char editor" found over at Nexusmods.com to adjust some of my stats later on, so as to not start the game all over again. Thing is, once I actually started playing, everything just fit into place and I stopped worrying about having the "perfect team". - When it comes to graphics, you either accept the dated look or move on. I recommend at least grabbing "Wasteland2 DC Patchwork Mod" from Nexusmods.com, since it fixes the camera view a bit. - Voice acting is good, just wish there was more of it. Ambient music is also good. - Without a doubt the BEST PART about Wasteland 2 is the journey you embark on. Exploring the war-torn world, meeting different factions each with their own quirks, picking sides and settling disputes, all make for a great time. - Just make sure you have ample free time as the campaign is quite lengthy, taking place on 2 large maps, Arizona and California. Nobody that finished this game can complain that it was too short. As I said in the beginning, Wasteland 2 is a real gem. But the initial experience can feel more like a "diamond in the rough".

Fun older styled C-RPG

Disclaimer; I was a kickstarter backer for Wasteland 2 I never played the first wasteland and when I looked into it; I felt that it was a touch before my time. I've played older CRPGs but Wasteland is quite different from the ones I've played from the late 80s. The best way to describe how Wasteland 2 plays is to look at Jagged Alliance (1 and 2) and Fallout Tactics. Wasteland 2 has many elements from both games combined with some elements you see in the older open world CRPGs from the late 80s and early 90s. Wasteland 2 has significantly more player involvement with the story compared to Jagged Alliance or Tactics, but not to the extent of Fallout 1 or 2. Be forewarned: your characters do not have personal interactions with NPCs so the game WILL feel empty and hollow if you are expecting dialogue interaction on the level of JRPGs. The dialogue is structured so that NPCs are essentially addressing your party as a whole, not individuals. The combat can sometimes feel a touch "same-y" as you near the end of various areas, but each new area changes things up enough to prevent it from getting stale. One carry-over characteristic of older CRPGs is that almost all loot drops and chests are completely RANDOM. They will have some algorithm like; "Chest contains random tier 1 ammo, and random junk drop" but you'll almost never get the same thing twice out of the same chest. On the flip side of things; the game feels rough lacking polish. Wasteland 2 is fully playable but the character models look like they are from neverwinter nights 1! The mechanics in combat can feel a touch clunky aswell. Bottomline; If the idea of merging Jagged Alliance 2, Fallout Tactics, and older CRPGs in a post apocalyptic universe sounds attractive, you will probably enjoy this game.

Badly optimized, laptops beware

The game is enjoyable. If you like the post-apocalyptic RPG genre (like Fallout), you should like this title. However, note that the game is badly programmed. I am not talking about bugs, but about optimization. I am playing on an Alienware 17 laptop (i7, nVidia 980m) and this game, even if nothing is moving on the screen, sends the fans to their highest RPM in less than a minute. I can play games like The Witcher 3 at very high settings, without hearing the fans running.. but not Wasteland 2. I would give it a 4 if it wasn't for the game bad optimization, which probably is related to the Unity engine they decided to use.

Death by thousand cuts

The game is riddles by small defaults, which in the long time will make you resent the game more and more. Exemples: No switch the game to combat mode, no hide mode nor even cautious walk while it's asked (AG). No pause before a fight to prepare an ambush. Don't throw explosives throught doors, those are too low. As there is no stealth, you have to start a fight before being able to use animal calm or robot hacking, and then, the xp reward is riduculous compared to normal fight. I received 2 herbs with differents effects, the game mixed them withour asking. You can't organize the way your rangers walk, only who is leading the party. Dialogue talents are to be used asap, if not, the possibility desappear. Use of competences are sometimes by right clicking sometimes you have to use a talent from your shortcuts, it's nowhere explained.PNJ and interactive object are pixels size, damn, it's not a point and click. It's okay-ish at the beginning but become more and more tedious, some zones are reallly big. Some competence are not really interesting (animal handling). Sniper and AR are the kings. There might be a key to go back to tutorial advices but it's hidden in the tutorial, nothing is explained Some quest ask you to act a certain way and will punish you hard if you ever try to be a little independant. And so much more. Personnally i stopped the game while trying to save tom 's wife: i received the quest, dialogue ends he runs like hell out of the screen, i try to follow but too late, 10 sec after, he's dead and mission fail. Ok let's start again, explore a little before and see what killed him. Ok a group of monster, i kill them go back to the guy and then i see that he killed himself !!! WTF Controlling A..H.... creators Before you try Wasteland 2, be warned that the develloppers don't really respect you and love to make fun of you (at least 2 party kill by detonating explosives, lots of extremly difficult safe to crack with just shit inside etc etc) Prison was OK
