this thread needs more talk about the game itself. I am actually very curious how it is, can anyone illuminate on that?

[scriver]

Will get this on GoG. Even if it costs more than Steam. I dislike DRMs in any form, and would even pay a little extra to get rid of them.

As far as I can tell Wasteland 2 isn't using Steamworks.  Given that the only restriction is having to download it from Steam's servers, how exactly is GoG any different?

There was a time when the type of DRM used (disc check? install limit? E.T. phone home?) wasn't openly declared. I had to search for the developer's/publisher's statement on which kind was used.

Then there's the problem of accuracy of such statements. It cannot be from an outsider, must be the developer/publisher. And even that might change... e.g. early on the developer may want no DRM, but later they wanted to make use of SteamWorks to save some development effort. In that case I must look for statements after release where it's all settled.

If I buy from GoG, then it's crystal clear that I won't get any DRM. Plus, I like GoG and will always give them business over Steam. And then Steam over Origin/UPlay.

Pretty sure gog is owned by EA or has deep ties with EA & Origin.

GoG is owned by (or is a sister company of) CDProject, the polish guys who make the Witcher games.

OP just lock this, it's a lost cause.

I'm definitely looking forward to get my KSed copy. I was pondering whether getting a free demo of the beta but I don't feel like getting 4 gigabytes of stuff that's going to be obsoleted every so often.

So I'm just going to have to wait for release. But it looks kickass. I like pretty much everything about it, however it could use more Bloody Pulp animations. Like disintegration by energy pistol or your head asplode or something.

It does feel very Wastelandsy. I've played thru the original WL so many times, what's not to love.

Now, let's talk more Wasteland.

Here's RPS' impression: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/12/19/wasteland-2-preview/#more-181561

TLDR: Game is promising, but it runs like an alpha right now, not a beta. Really, really poor frame rates, bad quest logic, corrupted saves. Does not sound like something people should run out to try, unless they're seriously interested in being a tester.

[Mephansteras]

Ah, good. Current problems aside, it sounds like whenever the game is actually done and I get to play it it'll be what I was hoping for.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Hopefully there's more than one place to use a rope (I'm lookin at you Fallout 2).

Arise...  arise from your tomb!  Be free to bring ruin upon the interwebz!

Apparently this is finally coming out, tomorrow.

[Knave]

Wow! This won't be the first kickstarter I received, but it was definitely the first I backed!
I've been waiting patiently for quite a while to try the finished product (managed to avoid the temptation of the beta), so as not to spoil myself.
Hopefully it's relatively bug free.

[Sergius]

Oh cool, after doing half of the campaign for the 3rd time, finally my saved games aren't going to get wiped out

[Sartain]

I'm almost too afraid to play this. I backed it and I really want it to be great, but the whole character creation was just so bad.
I think I need to just roll randoms and get into the game itself before the character creation sucks the motivation out of me.

[Majestic7]

Yeah, this is one of those games I'm scared to play, because I want to like too much already. Yet I'm afraid of a disappointment on the level of Master of Orion 3. I guess I'll keep playing Dead State beta a little longer while they patch Wasteland some more.

[Sergius]

The best way to build a character is to focus on one weapon, then save some points for when you need that extra Lockpicking or safecracking point, and just try to split those very important skills among the whole party.

Too bad it's a bit metagamey tho, it would be nicer if you had enough points to have redundancy of skills.
But in the first Wasteland you also weren't supposed to buy Safecracking for more than one guy.

[nenjin]

Been waiting on this and wanting it for a while....but I'd like to here some release version reviews.

[guessingo]

I googled this but didnt find a straight answer. How moddable is this?
