Quite okay, but too many screw ups

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.

Hoooooooooly Faq!!!!!!!!

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;)

Exactly what I was looking for

Back in the day, I played and replayed the original Wasteland several times. When I heard they were making a sequel (an actual sequel), I was ecstatic. Finally, a few days ago, I was able to purchase it. I've just gotten to the top of Highpool with 4 of the pre-gen characters and I have to say I'm impressed. I've only had one issue. My GeForce GT210 1GB and Core 2 Duo 3.0 GHz (4 GB DDR2) just doesn't cut it. If I turn the game down to "Fast", I can play it, but it's sluggish (everything including the UI). I have the patience and I spent a couple of hours playing and learning it. I was having fun. Yesterday a co-worker lent me a Zotac GTX 760 with 2GB of RAM (ZT-70401-10P). Wow! What a difference a $250 graphics card makes, but then it should. With that video card, in the same machine, I turned it up to "Beautiful" and it was flawless. Now that I've returned the card, I'm going back to slow mode. But then again, the graphics are not what make this game. It's all about the atmosphere and tactics. The main reason I wrote this review is for the people who have complained about the graphics and suggested that a GPU upgrade wouldn't make a difference. You really need a good video card for this one if you want all of the fancy graphics and that's where you should put your money. The minimum processor and some DDR2 RAM is more than sufficient. Oh, and I also want to thank GOG for adding Linux games to their wares. I cannot stress this enough. Thank you. nemolomen

Decent foundation for future games

I was glad to see this kept the turnbased gameply instead of switching to realtime with pause or something else altogether. The combat could use some refinement though. Things like cover could be made clearer. A little more focus could be given to the character progression as it is a little difficult to figure out what I should be training in and what will be useful in the future. The characters themselves could really use some work. Besudes the fact that character customization in this is pretty rough and more than a bit ugly, I really mean on the personality and story side of characters. I just wasn't getting attached to anyone. Which I suppose comes from the fact that you build your own party and it takes forever to get new recruits with an inkling of personality. The main story was never getting that interesting from what I saw, though the setting itself wasn't that bad (though I'm not big on the midwestern cowboy motif). I did like the idea of killer mutant plants overrunning a settlement. But I really wasn't given much of a reason to care about what was happening there. There also didn't seem like there was much concequence to my actions. Helping one town out instead of the other leading that one to get wiped out really isn't my fault and to me seems like to rather pointless form of concequense. The inital artwork I see for this game everywhere is of a group of characters wandering through abandonned streets overrun by plantlife. Indeed, in the title screen shows a giant spider robot hanging out in a city. This was something I never encountered. Most everything I encountered was dirt roads, settlements of shacks, run down warehouses, or a bunker that was nearly empty except for the soldiers occupying it. I guess people just trying to live in this universe don't exist unless they are already dead on a mission you have yet to complete. Anyway, theres enough there to keep me interested in the series. I look forward to Wasteland 3.

Good game

Certainly buy during a sale but think twice if you want to get it at full price because even though it is a good RPG it has some flaws which make it irritating at times, usually solving a problems is strictly linear in some cases which means if you don't complete all requirements, (which are not explicitly stated) you would end up with a bad result. It does have some replay value due to the way in which you get to use your skills differently in a all other situations and the environment, voice acting were done really well. For me this game gives me the feeling of playing an RPG in a western setting, with desert, us being the law and stuff defending civilians from bandits, their own squabbles, etc. so I gave it 5 stars.
