So I finished with Highpool and now I am in second location.
**** really hit the fan. I have to admit, they did it really well with choices. I really feel bad now

So one gripe: Fecking water issue. I had to go from Highpool to AG center with zero water... No oasis on a way. A bit stupid system.

Hate to break it to you but when you enter highpool theres a thing you can refill your canteens at on the left.:p

When fully installed it reports disk usage just over 22 gigs at least.

How many hrs would it take to complete the game roughly?

degrassinoel · 22-09-2014 9:25pm

no idea, not even remotely close to an ending - though i did restart after about 20 hours and sunk in another 4 or 5 on new characters

~50 hours. More if you like to explore.

I played the beta with 2 different teams and started a 3rd with the release. I've clocked up nearly 130 hours according to Steam and I'm still having a blast.

I read online that it was removed from since it went in to full game. It was a beta thing.

Musn't be the case because i only bought and installed the game a few days ago after it's full release.

Same here, I think it might be tied to perception stat though?

degrassinoel · 22-09-2014 11:27pm

possibly, but there's a well or water source to fill canteens in most if not all major towns too

The download itself is only around 9GB. Think it extracts to about 20+

I played about 3 hours of it last night, so far it's got a nice mix of fallout tactics and fallout 2.

You can wander around the wasteland to a certain extent looking for stuff or you can follow the main quest. The overall story seems pretty interesting so far - mysterious enemy, villagers needing help etc.
So far so good..

degrassinoel · 23-09-2014 10:41am

It has a really good narrative, and yet it's open to allow you to feel isolated just enough to be immersed in the Arizona wasteland. Your radio is your link to the story for the most part, although the more towns and villages you meet, the more is revealed, as well as general travelling through the wastes and picking up rogue transmissions on the radio, you can always return to your base for an in-person chat with your c/o and fellow rangers. There's about 20% voiceacting, and the rest is text, very fallouty

Yeah definitely, well the song used during the into and outdo anyway

Sephiroth_dude · 23-09-2014 11:28am

Its 18.99 ATM on g2play

pablomakaveli · 23-09-2014 11:35am

Isnt g2play supposed to be dodgy? I read they buy russian keys cheaply which is how they can offer such cheap prices but youre at risk of having your account banned if your caught by steam.

23-09-2014 11:35am

Played for 4 hours straight last night. I'm hooked.

I'm just after completing the AG Centre Mission. The woman running the place is a laugh.

To note: The narrative is excellent. And plenty of twists and turns in the missions.

they have Russian keys but the tell you before you buy that you would need a vpn to use them, the also sell normal keys which is why youd see two prices for the same game on there.

Ive used them a few times, never had any problems

Kiith · 23-09-2014 11:46am

I've used them loads of times, and never had any issues. I've never bought a Russian key though, so can't comment on that. Just picked Wasteland 2 up from them now, as i will definitely play it at some stage, and less than €20 is too good to turn down.

Ah right fair enough. Wouldnt like to take the risk personally as id be losing a few hundred games if it did go pear shaped.

i dont see how steam could justify it, your paying good money for the games!
id use them again and ive 200-300 games, never heard of anyone getting banned by buying genuine keys from the region you live in

Sephiroth_dude · 23-09-2014 4:14pm

Got it for 18 off g2play because I had some credit or something on my account.

Steam only prohibits the use of a VPN on THEIR store - you can buy keys from wherever you want and activate them on steam as long as they're not region locked... however steam have been shown to be region-locking games on their own end even for indie games where the developers have expressed surprise that their game is region locked when they never added such restrictions themselves... so it seems they're catching onto people being smart consumers and want to screw them over again. Just make sure you can actually activate the key before you buy of course. Research is healthy.

If it's a moral issue you have, buying goods from one place cheaply and selling them to another where they're typically more expensive in order to out-play the competition is free market economics 101.

So Wasteland 2 is only 18.99 on G2Play?

Sure I'd be losing money not buying it.

Creatures that come right up to you to attack are a pain as weapons like assault rifles and sniper rifles are useless at close range. Try having a melee weapon or pistol for enemies that get too close.

degrassinoel · 24-09-2014 10:54pm

or a big blunt weapon using high strength tank

Move your rangers away or behind cover then fire, ranged weapons will miss at close range.
