Wasteland 2 Director's Cut Digital Classic Edition

It's a good game, you can play it in different ways. It's like Fallout Tactics, another one I liked. For me the game was stable, it never crashed once. Watch some gameplay to be sure that you like the genre

I have a 32 bit PC with Win7. The game plays well for 1hr, maybe 2hrs, before it crashes. I like the game, I logged in to to GOG Galaxy and run a repair but after that the game would not play because the repair changes the install to 64 bits (I have run the repair twice with same results). Which forced me to install the game 3 times. I have to restart the game, at least 3 times per session due to the crashes. Hope there's a solution somewhere in the near future, because, although the game is good, after awhile the crashes get a bit old. Without the constant crashes, I would have given the game 5 stars. I'll change my review when the problem is solved.

The guy who made this clearly can't do math. Your characters will consistently miss shots that have 80% and higher chances of hitting. Your weapons, that have a chance of 2% to jam, will frequently jam. Safes that show 65% of being unlocked will almost almost require multiple attempts to crack. And the critical fail, which makes the safe impossible to crack, and which is usually 10%, will also trigger way too often. It's a pity, because the rest of the game is pretty awesome, but because combat is part of the core of the game, the bad RNG just makes it a massive chore. Battles that should be over quick will last way too long because your characters will often miss 80% accuracy shots. Successively. At point blank range. At least this also applies to the enemies, who also have this bad luck at aiming. Luckily I got this game for free.

So, I really had to do it. I had to give that game to stars although I like to play it. Reasons why might contain spoilers: Overall its a nice game, has quite okay feeling and setting and plays nice after the initial "You have crap stats and crap equipment, here are some quite powerful enemies" phase is done. It walks along well, but the line between "Why was it THAT easy?" over "That went as expected" to "WTF did the game just do, that was not what I intended" is crossed too often. My main breaking point for the stars - after minor problems here and there with quests, possible answers etc. - was the following (the second one can't be included due to length restraints): 1) A Quest area, where you cannot do your job NOW because the more or less not that big bad there has equipment that woul allow him to rule the wastes without competition. There are Turrets that kill your full health party in one turn BEFORE you even can act. They have so much health, that your WHOLE party would have to shoot 3 Rocket Launchers at it (each, about 20 shots would do enough damage) before one of them is down. There are two. What you get off is ONE shot. Then you are dead. IF you should somehow manage to kill the turrets, then there are mines that - if you see them - cannot be disarmed by a master (fully leveled) demolition expert. Again, those kill in one explosion. Full kill as far as I know, not just unconscious ore nearly dead ore something. All that, because the developers want you to be unable to prevent something bad from happenening, so you need one special part from somewhere else, that triggers the bad thing. If you have the special part via some other way (cheating, loot luck etc.) It just doesn't work as it should. Thats so immensly bad writing and quest design that this occuring is worth two negative stars in my opinion. Its not the first time in the game the developers try to force something on you without having valid other options avaiable as well.

So at first - I spent like 10h in the game (on other shop which Has better Linux support, but I got GOG's version too;) This gamę forgives nothing, You did something stupid - You will suffer. So I started game for third time (still 10h played). First approach was quick, all dies during second mission;) Second - takes like 3h and I ended without ammo or healing with team not prepared for mele combat... (all my falt, game just punished all Yours mistakes - MAKE MANUAL SAVES - I ended up with saves only from last 15 minutes) And then came third approach - I spent over na hour preparing my team ( with some help od manuals and earlier mistakes) - using everything I lerned so far - and it is really briliant. But I got my first PC before Millenium Bug and I love classic Fallouts (even tactics;)
