Wasteland Wasteland 2 Pre-Release Discussion Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[MicoSelva]

Well, since we have the big PE update out of the way, it's time to hype ourselves for the Wasteland 2 beta. It should be here tomorrow, or on Friday. Today is also possible, I guess, but I wouldn't count on that.

Can't wait to get my hands on some !

 

[Volrath]

Just fucking release it already ffs.

New interview: http://www.vg247.com/2013/12/11/wasteland-2-beta-serving-up-up-odd-until-the-very-end-interview/

“You can die in the first five seconds of gameplay. You start off at a funeral scene, and if you want to pick the shovel up and start digging up the grave of the guy who just got buried in front of the other Desert Rangers, you’re dead.”

 

[Cyberarmy]

Them feelings...

Remembered good'ol grave digger perk from Fallout days.

 

[General Maxson]

When they're gone, I'll be sure to dig him up and rob him properly. He won't be needing it anyway.

 

[SophosTheWise]

I don't mind Fargo putting off the Beta until next week


I won't have time until Monday, probably. Also, my pledge is still not processed.

How long until someone murders the Desert Rangers with that shovel?

 

[Kem0sabe]

Ill probably cheat my stats to murder them all at the start, see how far can push the game before breaking it completely.

 

[Roguey]

Well now we know what Chris Avellone did.

 

[Sensuki]

Looks like 2.5 weeks was off after all

2.5 weeks is tomorrow, or Friday.

 

[Athelas]

I'm not so sure badmouthing the publishers at every turn is such a wise decision. Especially when in some respects it's the pot calling the kettle black.

“You can die in the first five seconds of gameplay. You start off at a funeral scene, and if you want to pick the shovel up and start digging up the grave of the guy who just got buried in front of the other Desert Rangers, you’re dead.”

Awesome.

EDIT: Not a bad interview, btw.

 

[m_s0]

Oh god. Which one of them was he?

Watch this, btw:

and all the parts that follow. Interesting interview.

“You can die in the first five seconds of gameplay. You start off at a funeral scene, and if you want to pick the shovel up and start digging up the grave of the guy who just got buried in front of the other Desert Rangers, you’re dead.”

That was the only interesting part of the interview, lol.

 

[dunno lah]

I feel like Brian shouldn't have revealed that. Guess he was desperate in giving more interesting examples of WL2 C&C...

 

[MicoSelva]

Why not? We can now start planning a shovel-wielding killer build in advance.

 

[Infinitron]

Uh, here's the full context:

VG247: That overworld map sounds brutal. It really does with dehydration, being jumped by raiders and without any sign-posting to let you know where the harder encounters are. It’s sort of your own fault if you die when wandering around and that to me sounds pretty hardcore. It’s a bit like Demon’s Souls where if you’e dying a lot you’re probably not ready for an area yet. Does that difficulty scale at all?

Fargo: “There’s two parts to dying in the game which really strikes to the difficulty level. First of all, you can die in the first five seconds of gameplay. You start off at a funeral scene, and if you want to pick the shovel up and start digging up the grave of the guy who just got buried in front of the other Desert Rangers, you’re dead.”

Not really related to C&C.

 

[dunno lah]

Yeah, but it's still a "flavour" C&C. One that feels like a secret, cool thing that you can do in the game. And he just gave that secret away.

 

[Brother None]

Yeah, but it's still a "flavour" C&C. One that feels like a secret, cool thing that you can do in the game. And he just gave that secret away.

Eh, plenty more where that came from.

 

[dunno lah]

Good, make sure you guys don't reveal anymore of them.

 

[Lhynn]

Good, make sure you guys don't reveal anymore of them.

I was never as tempted to ignore someone as i am right now. If you dig up a ranger at a ranger funeral, rangers will shoot you.
The only thing it was revealed in that interview is that that is the begining of the game (probably been said before, i havent been following this). Not being able to do anything at the funeral, that would have been shit, being able to dig up the corpse, that is what was promised and im pretty sure it made every backer giggle after reading it, because it shows they have clear goals and they are sticking to them.

 

[Spectacle]

Seriously, if you don't want spoilers at all you need to enforce your own private media blackout. GTFO of this thread to start with!

 

[dunno lah]

I get that but wouldn't the experience be (slightly) better if you had no knowledge of it and did it on your own just to see if it was possible? But I guess it's just extremely minor and I'm being whiny with my preferences...

 

[The Bishop]

How long until inXile is flooded with complaints that game is impossibly difficult because you die in the very first fight?
