August 27, 20205 yr Wasteland 3 is releasing on Fri! Very much a spiritual successor to original Fallout, the iso-view tiled movement post-apocalyptic game with action points. Wasteland 2 was a cult hit, made largely through crowdfunding, and was quite good though short. Wasteland 3 looks great so far, all of the humor and ethics that the series has always been good at. https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/08/wasteland-3-impressions-post-apocalyptic-tactics-ethics-and-economics/
August 27, 20205 yr Pleasant surprise...I didn't realize it was so close to release until a week or so ago. Steam shows an unlock at 7p central tonight.
August 27, 20205 yr I'm still ticked inXile didn't hire me to be part of the team. I was so overqualified... Wasteland 2 was great and definitely felt like the spiritual successor to the original Fallout games.
August 28, 20205 yr I've heard mixed things on this but if it's more of the same with some things cleaned up here and there I think it will be good (assuming the story is solid). It sounds like the main complaint was "it seems like it was dumbed down for console"
August 28, 20205 yr I enjoyed Wasteland 2. I read the review referenced in the OP. I didn't like hearing that load times for game transitions can run almost 2 minutes each. That would get very old very fast. I might wait until the PS5 comes out and see if the load times are minimized on that platform.
August 31, 20205 yr I am playing on a PC. The load times are terrible. I have an SSD for Windows and an SSD for my games. My machine will cold boot to the login screen in 9-10 secs. Loading a save or transitioning an area takes ~30 seconds in the game. That said, the game is awesome. Any fans of Fallout 1/2 or Wasteland 2, this game is worth your time and money.
September 1, 20205 yr Yeah, I've hit some weird bugs on PC, and the same load time issues, hopefully they can patch and optimize it up. So far I'm liking it, I've been a fan of the series forever.
May 22, 20214 yr Any updates from those that played how it was for them? How it compares to Wasteland 2?
May 22, 20214 yr I mean they have the best faction in the series in Wasteland 3 "The Gippers" So what's not to love?
