Wasteland 2 Kickstarted

[Gromnir]

Just completed the game -- 108 hours.

 

Subtract 5-6 hours of that savescumming, obsessive money grinding, and we have 100+ hours for Wasteland 2.

 

Worth every minute of it.

not even six whole days has elapsed since the game were released. did you use a beta save or somesuch, 'cause otherwise we figure you potential had maybe 20 hours or less where you were not playing the game this last week? 

 

...

 

am at a loss for an appropriate comment.

 

HA! Good Fun!

*yawn*

 

Sorry for trying to help Volo

 

There is no helping the little guy.

[Volourn]

Wow. That's all I got to say. Wow.

I'm making my way through the Rail Nomad Camp at the moment.  My party just reached lev 10, so I got my first stat upgrade (I'm playing this super duper slow).  I should probably do the prison eventually, but I kind of figure there will be some big nasties in there, so I'm clearing some of the other areas first to beef up my party.  I've gotten my team some pretty decent weaponry, so I can dish out a good bit of damage rather quickly, and I'm all types of loaded up on ammo at the moment, so I don't have to be shy about pulling the trigger.  All that saving ammo and using melee weapons whenever I felt I could get away with it earlier in the game has paid off in regards to how much ammo I have to work with now.

On a personal sabbatical-- It sort of began with the rpg/tactical munchies I began having.

 

I got Xenonauts, and saw how it actually improved upon original X-Com (not the firaxis abomination), and actually make it deeper.

Then I started my yearly tradition of Jagged Alliance 2 (with 1.13 mod) and spent dozens of hours on it. Few games come close to SirTech's perfect product.

 

Then, as you said, I finally started Wasteland 2 with a beta save I had from around Damonta, 40ish hours already upto that point.

 

Now its time to properly test PoE, and play this little fallout1-esque gem called Underrail occasionally.

[Rosbjerg]

There's a good selection of portraits here. I got a good 20ish in the game's style.

 

Playing with these as my characters.

How many hours did you play WL2 each day? Even with the save game its still an impressive amount of time on a game to finish it that quickly

98% of the female rangers are supermodels, which is par for the course as far as custom portraits go, I guess.  Nothing wrong with that, different strokes for different folks, and all that jazz.  I personally like my rangers to look highly weathered.

[Rosbjerg]

Yeah unfortunately, but most artist seem to only make cute girls with big assets - same for most RPG portraits/characters. But I did feel most of the men were all right.

 

Edit: haha, the goats in the Prison level are hilarious.. I used animal friend to have them follow me.

 

Basically this for 30 min

Anyone got their hands on retail edition? Is it DRM free or Deep Silver decided to go the Steam only way? Retail Ranger Edition is here much much cheaper than any Digital Download offer on market, but I am currently on a business trip and I am not able to check the box myself

[Tigranes]

My box has not yet arrived. I expect that is also the case for quite a few other people given the delays with physical rewards. 

[Mamoulian War]

Hmm that brings another question. Is the KS box version the same as retail box version?

[Humanoid]

The KS box will be a Steam copy, backers who request a DRM-free copy manually will be sent an additional set of DRM-free discs.

[Mamoulian War]

Ok, then the ranger edition will be Steam as well, to bad

[Orogun01]

I love the goats on this game, wish I could drag one all over the wasteland.

[IndiraLightfoot]

Oh yeah? Who'd be your goat-o guy? 

 

EDIT: Fighting mighty human gangs in this game really rocks!

did a search for patch references and found at least one post suggesting that there would be something made available tomorrow.

but keep in mind this is a random poster and we don't see developer corroboration as yet. much o' the recent wl2 info we have received via random posts has been hit & miss.

 

HA! Good Fun!

So glad he made the comment about saved games. My heart was otherwise about to drop.

But its okay if saved games get wiped because then it gives you a chance to play the game again and learn all new things? Isn't that part of the fun of gaming

[Volourn]

 Finishing games is also part of the fun of gaming.

I've played the Arizona stuff 4 times already during the beta. I'm enjoying my fifth run through, but I'm living to get to LA.

 

I play slowly and completely. If I had to start over at the beginning again, that would seriously suck! I scheduled a 4 day weekend for myself last weekend, and played for a good portion of that, and only got hallway through Arizona. I still have a ways to get to L.A. I will probably take Steam offline just to be safe.

I started another game. This is my Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles party.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Hiro Protagonist II]

I was thinking of doing a Terminator party on my next playthrough but will be going with Predator instead. Dutch, Mac, Blaine and Billy.

[Raithe]

Well, I finished it up.. and got to enjoy the "epilogue"... where I was told that people I'd killed were alive and making things horrible, people I'd actually saved were dead, and groups I'd made peace between had actually slaughtered one another because there had been no peace..

 

Okay, about half of the "and so and so happened" was based on my actions, but the other half were all very strange considering I kept going asking whether it had played the same game I had...
