Wasteland 3 feels like the work of people who've been making RPGs for over 30 years. Because it is.

Are their earphones actually any good?
@@andyc7777 They're crap, lots of proof and analysis out there.
Please stop promoting this crap, I realize they pay well but the product is crap. Expected more from you man...
this reminds me of Warhammer Mechanicus and I love it thank you for reviewing it
If you want somewhat cheap wireless earbuds get one of the jabra elite products.
11:50 "Take the world of Fallout, combine it with the character building, RPG elements of games like Dragon Age Origins, and then combine all of that with Xcom combat"
Well shit, that's all you had to say
"XCOM combat"
I am noping out of those odds!
I grew up despising luck-based games, and XCOM is of no exception.
Aereto .......................... what?.................
@@fabricatorgeneralcaz534 I'm guessing they're referring to when you place your soldiers in the perfect position (ie you play with skill), have a 99% hit chance, but then they miss, then they panic, then they get killed, which happens plenty in X-COM haha.
I honestly play the games with the mindset that I am the commander, not the soldiers - I'm just telling them what to do, but they're autonomous entities. I guess it comes down to how you roleplay the game!
@@Aereto understandable, I usually play XCOM as a risk management game with overlapping overwatches and just-in-case gear management. As game designers say, "Fighting the game, not the enemies."
Aereto it’s not luck based though. You just have to position your dudes correctly and max out awareness then boom you’ve got 95% shots all day long
Completely agree with you on the most accessible CRPG part. The shared loot, inventory management, voice acting etc really goes a long way to make the game enjoyable without the tedious part
Its just a shame that the game can't seem to differentiate between male/female NPC's, in terms of voice overs. Seems like half the random NPC's you talk to have the opposite gender voice lol. Unless half of the female NPC's in the game have completely flat chests.
"No one was even born back then." Sheds a single tear as I remember the before times.
I had the time of my life in the before times.
I was -1 year when this wasteland 1 came out, now after 30 years i'm playing part 3
I remember Wasteland 1. Also dinosaurs.
fuck I am old...
Same.
Good days. Good ol' days...
Some advice on engagement... Don't just run into a room with your whole squad. Scout it first from a safe distance with a specialised unit. Then stage the rest of your squad individually. Then hit hard FIRST to take the initiative away from the enemy.
It has a simple stealth system that works just requires a bit of manual handling and preparation in its use. (Sneaky Shit)
explosives expert with sneaky shit..rocket launcher or grenade their asses to kingdom come...if you time it right you might get 3-4 kills while enemies are patrolling and take potshots at the survivors with your sniper and encounter ends in 1-2 turns after. except for those toads...fuck those toads and their resistances
Wasteland 1 was released 1988 not 1998
That was before the big bang
@@commandernomad2817 Initial release date: 1988, i played this on the C64 and my 12 year old brain almost beat it, but i didnt farm enough for the ion cannon. Got up to Cochise base.
I was going to say, bad graphics for 1998!
Was just about to comment this lol
@@petersonp84 I had to go back and listen to that part like 4 times to make sure he was saying 1998. Lol
I learned a while ago that the 3 month mark for games is when I truly know how good they are and if I need to buy them. Today’s patch is practically a book. This game is amazing and clearly getting so much love from devs and respecting its players...unlike certain other games that came out recently...
Guess this is the new normal now. waiting 3 months for each game releases till its fully patched to actually play at its full potential. Disappointing if you ask me
@@AintPopular Just adapt as it goes. Waiting for games isn't exactly hard.
Ak47 At least this game was made by a small team with a small budget, compared to games like a zzz Cyberpunk or Anthem....
@@randomguy6679 cyberpunk not that bad imo. never tried anthem.
Thanks for always keeping us up to date on awesome games! Hoping for the best for you and your family. Love all the videos from you and Sam. Been following since you started your Division videos and I still think you're going strong.
Thanks mate, you too :)
Skill Up hey skill, will you make a Heart of Deimos Warframe vid
the bugs are gone btw, game runs smooth on ultra max settings on a 980ti
Gone? Not entirely but it's definitely much better now.
@@pickybusiness8549 I guess when I said this I didn't experience any bugs, thinking back There may have been a big or two but nothing I can really recall. Would def give it another playthrough in the future.
lowest om imac2019 1080p
I just bought it and liked it pretty much, but it is still somewhat buggy. Kept crashing when entering Yuma County Speedway. Couldn't finish the game, so all the build up now went to shit.
"Or whatever you call this."
We call it a mistake, Ralph. We call it boiling hot shit. And it can't do maths. Because 76 86'd itself.
I want to give this 10 million likes.
Bars
It's by far the best Fallout game
@Maarten Boon Well, the dlc was fine and it seemed like they would actually fix the game but surprise, subscription pass. Along with countless bugs and glitches and a lifeless base game. I've only played it for a while because I had gamepass but I wish I didn't waste my time with it and installed no man's sky instead.
The intellectual way: keep paying the publisher for absolute rubbish
I cackled at “He has multiple wives and they’re all called Nancy”
Toaster Repair? The Adeptus Mechanicus deems this a blessed simulation.
Leading to a toaster companion lol
You can find the coolest and most absurd things in toasters. If I repaired a toaster in a wasteland game and was able to loot a rocket launcher from it I wouldn't be surprised!
@@JamesVermont I got a laser assault rifle out of the first one I fixed, i just kinda went 'no wonder it broke'
Clearly tech heresy if you ask me.
@@Tillman581 got one in a random overworld encounter and pulled an entire armor set that was somehow stuck inside of it.
"No one was even born back then"
I feel attacked
I need an adult
Oh wait....
I AM AN ADULTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!
Toaster repair is one of the most important skills in the wasteland series.
All hail the Omnissiah!
Its actually pretty good in 3 and I love it
@@andrefilipe9042 i see you are a man of culture as well
the noises "it" makes is kinda annoying but yeah pretty op
Literally made a johnny Knoxville from last stand inspired character in wasteland 2 running around in his underwear and a duster with goofy hats, guy was an explosives expert, pistols packing lunatic with a fetish for toasters
"I wasn't even born in 1998" It is with that statement I've just realised that there are legal adults running around that were born just before or right after 9/11........I feel ancient now:(
He made a mistake, I think he meant to say 1988. And he definitely was born in 1998 unless I’m really snotty at judging age. But yeah there’s no way he’s under 23 years old. Maybe he’s not 32... but I think Henie that age.
Im an Airline pilot ....Ive flown with co pilots that were born after 9/11....I was fucking working that day !!!!
Mannnn Im old.
@@mercurydylan899 i think he must have been born in 90 or something, and that he meant 88 but slipped during the vid.
Alll these kids man.
Any day now we'll be waving our walking sticks at them goddamned kids on our lawns.
My friend has been nonstop bugging me to play this with him lol. EDIT : After some time playing coop with my friend I can say it’s a ton of fun, Buuuut... it has crashed an absurd amount of times which has caused quite a few headaches but no losses save progress so that’s good
yo, this has coop?
@@lemao2222 yup
@@kastro6911 thanks. I've been meaning to get it since I've played the first two, but now I'm gonna bug MY friend into playing this with me!
you have a good friend
Co-op is an absolute ish-show right now. There are numerous bugs that are happening in co-op that are wiping saves/progress and game-breaking bugs that halt your progression
This is an amazing game. The story, the world building, the incredible voice acting… loving it so far. The fact you it have to inventory manage is amazing! Must play if you love RPGs.
For the "Toaster Repair", if it is like Wasteland 2, there are some items - weapons included - that only appear on toasters.
I´m at midgame, and yes is just like W2, some OP items show up on good old toasters.
Also the toaster companion*. Its ridiculous
And toast! Oh yeah and if you found a coin with an owl on it, some weird guy gonna give you a perk.
@@ufuk5872 Provost* he's a mainstay in all of the Wastelands. Him and d his blood awful ai
Yeah my first playthrough of Wasteland 2, i thought it was just a troll skill. The second time i tried it out, and damn. Put points in toaster repair. It's legit.
"I felt like I had almost too many skillpoints"
Also:
"If you haven't put points into initiative the way battles start is bullshit"
I believe we have identified his dump-stat
Ability points and skill-points are different things, and intelligence will only net you 5 skill-points max.
He skilled up
Per level. 5 skill points per level. Also technically 4 skill points unless you purposefully debuff intelligence. But even that 4 skill points means an additional 100 skill points.
@@ravenshrike In the old one it was, in this one every 2 points in intelligence give you one off skill point, that's it.
@@One.Zero.One101 It's a bad mechanic because some encounters are almost impossible without it. There should be some 'half-turn' if you go second to at least position yourself to cover before enemy turn(your party is almost always very close together when speaking with potential enemies).
“You can play the entire game in co-op. I didn’t do that because Sam doesn’t know how to play games.” That would have been more accurate.
I tought that aswell when he said that haha
Absolutely loving it. Wasteland 2 introduced me to isometric turn based, and that was a whole new world for me with things like Divinity, Xcom, and others. Everything we loved from 2 is here, and then some. The management, the choice, the RPGness, you name it.
Usually it wouldn't be the case if it was EA or some other trash company, but the fact that Microsoft acquired InExile was really good for the game, it allowed the to do so much more.
You should play the shadowrun series after this, it has amazong isometric turnbased combat so far along with a great story.
And whattaya know..it’s on Xbox game pass ;)
Installing!
It's also borderline unplayable on console. Just a heads up.
Stoned Gentleman bit juddery at times, but it’s running pretty well on One X.
@@kummynipples Bullshit statement. I've been playing it non-stop for days, with no issue.
I will try this on GamePass
Simon Adebisi so on what console is it ‘borderline unplayable’? PS4?
good review but little bit more consideration for spoilers would be nice, you just told me the whole plot beginning to end pretty much.
Game’s genuinely great. The only problems I have with it is how buggy it is. Menu interface freaks out on occasion. Game crashes every ten minutes, forcing me to double down on quick saves. General movement is stiff and sluggish. Definitely could use some post launch polish. Otherwise a fantastic game.
crazy buggy in coop
The crashes are going to be fixed in a week or so
@@Jakovdred steam reviews have a lot of people mentioning crashes too.
Jenchia Lu my “rig” is an Xbox one soooooo.
Never crashed for me but its a performance mess even on medium settings, also it constantly has long loading times just to enter a small room and then exit it.Still worth it.
"1988! It came out in 1988! Not 1998!If the graphics looked that in 1998, graphically it would considered the worst looking game of.. 1998!"
- Grumpy Cletus, get off my lawn!
Your reviews are expertly crafted
Great review. Small correction. Wasteland 1 was 1988 not 1998. Was my first RPG I purchased for my Commodore 64 along with another game by Interplay called Neuromancer. :)
6:20 did bryan fargo just name a main character after himself ?
Ok i'm sold , I'll buy the game
Better: he did so back in the original 1988 Wasteland.
bards tale 4 also has something similar faran brygo or something..
Yeah. That character made his first appearance in Wasteland 1 in 1988. From what I have been able to gather through interviews over the years, is that he didn't name the character. It was writers working on the original game back in the day. Of course, I guess he probably had to give his ok. But at this point it is part of the lore of the game world.
he did... and I killed him early in the game. so worth it. no, really. you get a quite nice smg out of it, and a good autoshotgun too. they do poke fun at the fact that he looks exactly the same as he has for the entire series. look at the painting behind him when you meet him
@@thomasneal9291 god i love it when you initiate the fight. Its so cool.
“Video game that somehow predates the human race” lmfao
Deep Silver doesn't really do much of its marketing for its RPGs
It also published Pathfinder Kingmaker definitive edition to consoles recently, which is also an amazing CRPG. Still recommend PC to play it, obviously, but with turn based it is still a lot of fun even with a controller.
@33rd Antifa Regiment Pillars sucks...pathfinder is a good game def...but if u have a lot of time sure..
33rd Antifa Regiment I would say it’s easier to get into than Pillars. Turn based combat, better leveling system, more fleshed out characters, character creation is top notch
But
Pathfinder does have a time management gimmick. It’s kind of annoying if you go after everything, but they give you can give yourself more time by adjusting the difficulty.
I like both, but I’d play Pathfinder over Pillars. Pillars 2 is debatable
@@lorenzovonmatterhorn7402 pillars is fucking amazing just as Wasteland games. Imo Divinity games are shit and overated af
Kinda pissed that I'm just finding this game now 2022
Play WL2 👍
toaster repair is the most important skill in every wasteland game, change my mind XD
It's so fucking good. When I played 2 I made sure to always have a few points free if I needed to upgrade it.
I couldn't finish some quest in Ángel Oracle because of that damn toaster repair ( i didn't have points on that)
I never found it useful in WL2
@@me36391 there's a ton of rewards attached to the skill but you have to give them to a certain npc for certain things, go check it out if you ever play again some are bleh but yeah it is what it is.
The first one in the railway is literally a troll though 😑
What in wasteland 2 it usually just gave you a barely better item than one you had
Watching those clips from Fallout 76 at the start made me feel like I was high for a moment there
13:00 the power of mods will fix this
Also: God-president Ronald Reagan? It's so weird that i`m sold to get this game
Very tongue-in-cheek. Like the Brian Fargo mob boss. Great sense of humor.
Yea... totally weird... THAT couldn't possibly happen in the real world...
Not on gamepass it won’t 😭
Just wait til u read the goat killer back story. So random, but hilarious.
This might be the most underrated and overlooked game of all time.
That's Mad Max.
Isometric RPGs are BACK!
Wasteland 3 and Baldur's Gate 3 both in a month.
BG3 is 3d now.But yeah it looks good, if I recall though its not full game for BG3 now.
@@havocgr1976 Yup. 30th September is the date of release (if everything goes well) for the Early Access. Which I believe is Act 1, more or less.
@@johnyshadow Like with all Larian games, since they went full early access, I just wait for the definitive edition. Way too much stuff missing until the full release.
Inb4 someone comes along and comments that both of these games aren't "isometric" but "top down" games. If you don't know what I'm referring to, look up the exact technical definition of "isometric".
@@johnyshadow Yeah I got too many games to play to bother with early access, it looks very good though ;p
I love how just simple things such as helping someone up on their feet can lead to different consequences such as someone dying early or living longer to tell you more information. Great job by the devs
Shit.... you made me feel like I missed something by letting that bitch bleed out very early game and not clasping her hand when she reached out...
I had to stop watching 9 minutes in. You should put up a spoiler warning even if its mild to light spoilers.
I want you to know you saved me from spoilers. I watched just long enough to become interested in the game. I might try it out.
Too late for me lol
Thanks for the heads-up!
True, i have to stop as well, i have been trying to watch reviews of this game and every one i encounter has spoilers
Thanks, I dont want spoilers, I am having the time of my life here, dont want to stop being amazed ;p
"How can a turned based game be any good? It is sooooo oudated"
You'd be surprised how many people think like this :(
Idiots, the lot of them.
I freaking love turn based. Taking my time thinking up strategies is so nice.
it's shit out dated design, worse than bg
@@kkkkjjjjjeeee you're funny,funny man man
shut up!
Absolutely love this game! Awesome review 🤙
"I'm watched the Braveheart dvd, i am a scottish man!"
I laughed so hard at that encounter.
then when you find his tape with him practicing his acent :D
@@Neocoolzero Yeah that put a little smile on my face.
I am so glad to see more rpgs gravitating towards unlimited inventory space. The benefit of not having to worry about it is so much greater than the minor-at-best increase in immersion limited inventory systems afford, at least in my opinion.
inventory space only fits in survival games
this is type of game where you enjoy playing it until you quit the game and never play it again.
that's so funny because that's exactly what I did with wasteland 2 a couple days ago.
You've got a point here man. I think I've done exactly the same with a PS4+ monthly giveaway; Greedfall. I stopped playing it, then that was it. Haven't touched it in weeks IIRC, but I was enjoying it lol.
I love wasteland 3 because it’s so different from other games I’ve played and I love it when your team has that perfect synergy. Plus the story, setting, and lore is so interesting and captivating.
Thank you so much for putting your ad reads at the END of the video. I generally will stay and listen to them even if im not interested simply to give you the view time because you respect us enough to put it at the end, rather than at the beginning or interrupting in the middle
Small criticism - I think it may have been better to refrain from explaining the Patriarch and his personality so much (benevolent dictator, genuinely has the interests of his people, deals with slavers for greater good). As someone who is currently playing the game, I was trying to figure out this character (whether he was in fact genuine, what he is willing to do and why) and this kinda gave it away. I know slight spoilers are a bit inevitable but this may have given too much away.
theres definitely more to it than just this explanation. dont get discouraged. There are many different angles of view when it comes to his character.
"RPG'S"
My eyes are bleeding.
Nice, I'll definitely pick this up! Loved the original fallouts
Fallout + X-com + Dragon Age? Well my friend, I'll be back in 3 weeks to tell you how I lost my job
Lol
Why is there no spoiler warning on this? Watched to decide if I want to pick this up and had several quests, the arc of the entire story, and the identity of the final boss spoiled within 15 minutes.
I mean, it's not really a spoiler. From the get-go the Patriarch tells you that Liberty is the smartest and most dangerous of his kids and that she's planning to dethrone him, pretty obvious that she's the biggest threat from your main mission. The only big spoiler here was one of the paths of the Reagan cult (and not the only one).
There's a lot of bugs and a lack of polish, though none game-breaking, but my main complaint is the camera and how clunky it is to control. Gets in the way mostly during exploration, but doesn't do combat any favors either :/
How about less spoilers?
I honestly never heard of this game until I watched a spanning review video that showed background footage of this while talking about other games and I was like "screw crappy generic shooter #374, I want to see more of what's playing in the segways!"
I think the greatest Fallout game ever made still is Fallout 2, which was developed by Black Isle Studios, which you forgot to mention, which used to be Interplay. Wasteland 3 also got sooo many things right tho. It has some issues here and there tho and overall I enjoyed Wasteland 2 more.
wasn't gonna even give this game a glance ... if its SkillUp approved though, I'm 100% trying it now
Started dloading right after this review.
I'd recommend it strongly. It's so unique. Hope you have fun!
Wasteland 2 is well worth your time if you like this one. Especially the much more polished Director's Cut
Its free on game pass so I tried it. I'm still a bit unaccustomed to the crpg format(because of my fps and rpg riddled brain) but it still stands out and might be the sleeper hit of the year even for me, a guy who has never played a crpg.
@@santhoshsridhar5887 so far, would you recommend Wasteland 3? (And you can be totally honest). I'm just like you, I've never played a CRPG in my life. I'm more accustomed to 1st & 3rd-person RPGs and a few FPSs so I have no idea what I'd be getting myself into lol
gonna need another video focused solely on the cat with a cowboy hat
He keeps running upto overpowered enemies and getting killed FFSLOL. I wish I could tell him to chill out a bit and pick his targets. I have to keep reloading because animals perma-die and its usually my guy Major Tomcat who's the first to go because of his senseless lack of self preservation! Maybe if cats HAD 9 lives in this game it'd be okay, but they don't :*(
"Fyran Bargo"
I see you there!
Anyone else miss the old gamespy articles he wrote as a joke where he pitted something against something else but stupid. Like "Elian" Vs. Predator. Yes Elian Gonzoles vs. Predator.
Pppp
Hey man I was 21 in 1998! I guess I’m a proto-human or something 🤣
Who knew when he said “fuk Laymen” he actually meant it and left the show:(
"Beep booby woop means existence is painful... PLEASE HELP!". Thats when I decided I wanted to give the game more of a chance and TBH I didn't regret it!
To be fair though, I'm not EXACTLY sure its an "expertly crafted" game since its a bit buggy & clunky, a bit rough round the edges (sadly giving it an "indy AKA cheap" feel at times), BUT I AM very much enjoying the game so far. I don't care much for games these days, they rarely hold my interest for long, yet Wasteland 3 (maybe because I'm an old XCOM fan) keeps me coming back.
After wishing and longing for another Shadowrun - I guess I'll try this out.
Edit: I admittedly had seen enough 7 minutes in....And then you mentioned the ronald reagan shit and I had to buy it immediately. Holy shit, that's amazing.
I got the Apple ear buds for Christmas . They’re ok , they fit good . Thought they would sound better
A video that mentions 76’s failure is a video I like, rewatch, and share.
So glad I didn't waste my time with fallout 76. All the horrible reviews were an instant turn off.
It was actually an amazing success
Keep coming back to this review because I really, really want to play this, but then I decide not to because I absolutely despise Turn Based combat.
Im telling you bro, you wont regret it. It really is a phenomenal game.
“Ambushed me half way through the game”......spoilers mate??
He must’ve forgot he was doing a review lmao
Well she "ambushed" me on my first playthrough too, when I was like level 5; her mission is recommended for level 27 or higher I think? It's not like knowing she ambushes you is spoiling anything.
@@cr4ce721 he spoils that she's the final boss
@@dominicdococo4574 I wouldn't say that, also I don't know for sure that she is
But can you finally zoom out more than 2 inches?
Wasteland 3 is one of the best CRPG's since Pathfinder Kingmaker and Disco Elysium imo and if you are a fallout fan or CRPG fan in general then you owe it to yourself to play this (on PC..heard the console versions are very buggy atm).
Got around 10 hours on a Xbox one x and its been fine.
Rly?!
Yeah; these 3 are the Fallout, Baldur`s Gate, and Planescape Torment of the generation. 😉
This style of game is old and tired and easy for devs to make. 1st person and 3rd person are the only worthwhile RPGs.
@@BuzzingGoober Yeah; there are exactly three very worthwhile contemporary
1st/ 3rd person "RPG"`s :
New Vegas, the Witcher series, and, very likely, 2077. 😎
( Dark Souls etc. , while great, count by all means as Action Adventure. )
- And, an abundance of
"AAA" Open World. Trash:
Often with the flavors Ubi, EA, or Bethesda.
Skill Up, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
I'm playing via Game Pass on PC and it's weird how buggy it is sometimes, I even encountered an infinite money exploit when I arrived outside of the Bizarre. Other than the minor bugs and glitches, the game is very fun although some aspects are more streamline, the combat and random encounters are really fun to experience, I love the weapon and armor modding skill, there's a wider range of companions you can recruit, some of them are characters from Wasteland 2
imo try it out of on the Game Pass, it's going for $1 right now and it's a good service overall
yes, it does have a LOT of minor technical issues, but so far nothing that has run me to ground yet. I do wish they had made the pets NOT get involved in combat though. they just clutter up everything.
I loved this game. Played it on series S and only had one or two problems with glitches. It crashes a few times. Other than that I had a blast. Really enjoyed this game and I recommend it.
I was on the fence with this one, with RPS's unenthusiastic review pushing me toward giving it a pass...but your reviews have never steered me wrong before, so I'm giving this bad boy a shot. Wish me and my GTX 1060 luck!
RPS?

JUST TO BE CLEAR FOR THOSE INTERESTED.
IF you are a PC player this game can be played on Xbox Gamepass (Get the PC only sub) for $1 Usd the first month and $4.99 after that.
Hundreds of games and many brand new (I just downloaded WASTELAND 3, Gears 5, A Plague Tale etc 😛).
Also, you can use any controller (xinput all work I use a cheap logitech and can always rig a ps controller to work also)
So if you dont wanna burn $60 I suggest taking advantage of the deal (not a timed deal, its always that price)
If you want to play on all platforms xbox etc its $15 which imo makes it far less appealing.
But a Dollar to play this??? And 5 bucks after for all those other games???
Far, FAR more received then given imo.
Imagine how great the next one will be when they have microsoft money instead of deep silver money. Cant wait
1998. The year I graduated high school. We rode wooly mammoths to the ceremony.
1988
You should play Divinity: Original Sin 2
Yes!! Best RPG I've played in a LONG time. This game is creeping up to that
Oh god!!! I am just starting to learn Wasteland 2 and you lay this on me?? BTW I played the original Wasteland on 5 1/4" floppy discs on a Commodore 64 in 1989. It helped me quit smoking. I switched to Fallout somewhere along the line but now it bores me. I tried Outer Worlds but I grew bored with that. So I went full circle and pulled out WL2 - finally.
I have been sitting on it for maybe 5 years or something. I don't remember when I bought it.
Super interesting and leaping straight off the original as if there was no gap. Great to see Bryan Fargo again.
I much prefer WL2 over 3.
This is one of the most immersive, layered, and entertainingly dark games I have ever played.
Edit: I trust your word for reviews more than any other channel online. Thank you
> Intimidating walls of text
Not only is Pillars Of Eternity not "intimidating" in temrs of text, why are you using backer's backstory character as an example?
I feel the ending sequence after dealing with the Patriarchs 3 kids was kind of weak. It felt insanely rushed and like there was some exposition missing before the ending summary rolled.
two words: budget constraints
as a diehard Divinity series fan I wasnt expecting much. I couldn't get into Xcom etc. But gave it a real chance. and by god did it grip me! I cannot wait till I get off work so I can play some more. its brilliant.
Absolutely stellar game. It really tries to use a story and characters that get complicated and messy. Not to mention the freedom it gives the player to experiment and try new ways of doing things. And I love it.
Has great humor, as well as provides some good grit. Just like any good western.
Except this one has more cold steel than hot.
Looking for some new games to play . Everyone hang in there , when this whole Covid crap is over , if it ever is I ll be outside all day and not playing games for a while I guarantee that.
You: "The first one was released in 1998...and NO ONE was even born back then"
Me: I was in the military in 1998... You young whipper-snapper... Also, the first release was 1988 (I was alive then, too)
+1! Graybushes unite
I didn't even realize how young Skill Up was (or how ancient I already am) until he said that. I put him at his mid to late twenties because of his reasonable attitude and quality content, but looks like his young face was telling the truth about his age all along.
Too many damn loading screens
I never thought I’d see a Jeremiah Johnson reference on UA-cam in my lifetime.
Good game but very buggy. Thankfully, I haven't had any bugs that broke the game completely but plenty that have made life difficult or annoying - such as skills not working, characters suddenly unable to move, and one npc even changed all his skills when I added him to my party. Gamepass has been a blessing, not only because it let me play this game without risking $60 on a buggy masterpiece but for the fact that it keeps adding great games to its service.
"No one was even born yet"
*Me born in 1990*
Ive always wanted to be an actual Dinosaur
Omg you were born in 1990?????? Did you know Plato???
This game is pure mediocrity. Everything feels token. Nothing about the experience feels personal. The game-play is just a shallower version of xcom.. at least i gave a shit about my squad in that game.
Extremely spoiler intensive review
I know right ?
"Hey, this is the final boss you encounter halfway through."
Thanks for the spoiler...
To be fair you get the quest for her 30 mins into the game. You have a right to be bothered but you are immediately given her quest from the patriarch right at the jump
Checkout Bard's Tale IV if you really enjoyed this. Another great fully voiced inExile RPG experience.
I did a full playthrough of this game when it came out. And I did a full playthough of this game now a year later. It is SO much better now, if any of you were waiting for a time to play it, now is the time!
Only dudes with 400iq and massive pps play this gam
THIS is the game I've been waiting for. There's an area in Wasteland 2 where you encounter 2 factions in conflict. There are many different outcomes to achieve, but the only way to get the ultimate peaceful outcome takes analysis and multiple negotiation trips and certain party skills. You have to pick up on some very subtle clues to even realize this outcome existed. I didn't achieve it, only reading about the possibility later. If there is any crpg you want to experience with hardcore rules in play,(no reloading, accept all outcomes and character deaths and move on,) Wasteland is it.
0:55 He says that the first Wasteland came out in 1998 and that the Wasteland series spans over 30 years... I guess UA-camrs don't have to be able to do 2nd grade math.
I hate turn based combat but you've convinced me to give this a try. Couple hours in and enjoying it so far
Same for me. I loved Baldur's Gate pausable realtime combat system and I never liked the turn-based system, but here I have no problem with it. I enjoy it, actually. You need to use tactics.
Downloaded this on game pass just to check it out. I'm full blown f****** addicted to this game right now
Playing this right now on gamepass and its all kind of incredible. Can't put it down
Yep and people say xbox wont have any good games they own this franchise now along with the company
I tried it bc i liked games like codename steam and mario & rabbids. Couldnt get into this one. It tries to be gritty but its still bloody and trying to be funny? Not for me, i want to try gears tactics whenever it comes to xbox
Ahh strong world building. Its odd that we find it so impressive these days.
Ridiculous isn't it? I am still frustrated with the lack of editable environments with today's rat-maze games.
How fun would it be to build bases, defenses, training grounds, etc. within a 1st person game? Gears of Bore 40 or what ever touched upon it. But RTS is dead.
@@calderarecordshow many games in general have editable environments?
Why wouldn’t strong writing and world building be impressive?
I had every member pick up animal whisperer so i had an army of cats and dogs do all the fighting for me, so op.
