Wasteland 2: Director's Cut

Fantastic game, one of my favourite turn-based cRPGs.

The resurrection of a cult classic, Wasteland 2 does not disappoint. Set in a nuclear South-west USA you create and manage a four-man group who have recently joined the remnants of the Desert Rangers. As an elite squad of wandering lawmen it's up to your discretion to solve various problems while investigating the mysterious death of one of your own.

Ok, I'm 30 hours deep in this game and haven't finished it but I think I'm able to make a review about it. First off, the reason I'm making a thumbs down isn't because the game is unplayable. I just don't think you should spend your money here. Buy Wasteland 3. It's a much better version of this one, which offers more replayability and streamlines the awkwardness that plagues this title. WL2 isn't terrible but it has a lot about it that's really frustrating: * A big wasteland you have to navigate with not much in it and big maps where your characters run back and forth through * The quests are beyond confusing and you are CONSTANTLY accidentally getting into combat with everyone and everything * You never know you've become enemies with a faction until suddenly they're trying to murder you. There's no dialogue, not even a "STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM!" They just start blasting. As a result you can't even finish major quests. * Every interaction is based on a skill check. And sometimes you fail an 80% chance 4 times in a row before "critical failure" locks you out. Why make such a boring mechanic? Put it this way: To play WL2 you need a Wiki page open and that's not a good thing. As a fan of Fallout 1, I realize the developers were going for something similar and parts of it are like Fallout 1. But that title is over in under 20 hours. This thing takes ages to do anything. Another thing. I have 6/46 achievements after 30 hours. At this rate I'll have 100% completion in 230 hours. Yeah, no thanks.

One of the best RPS's released in the last decade. I had lots of fun with it. The story and quests are pretty good. All areas are different and there are lots of different people to meet. The choices you make have an impact on the game, which is pretty neat. However it usually comes down to A or B. But you never know what the end result will be and there are some quests where bad things can happen even if your intentions are good. The quests are diverse, most are not the standard fetch quests, and for some you even need to listen to what people are saying. The game has a wide variety of options to customize your characters (attribute points, skill points and perks) . You cannot learn all skills, so you will need to make a choice. These skill choices will have an impact on your game, because there are skill checks. This means that if your skills are not high enough you will fail or cannot even perform them, however there are always multiple paths that you can take to continue the game/quest. Some skills are pointless to take though. Combat is turn based like X-COM, however unlike X-COM each character has multiple action points (AP) he can spend per turn and character turns area based on your initiative. High initiative means that you get your turn more often. AP are used for moving, shooting and healing. Each weapon needs different AP to shoot, so you need to think which weapon is best for which character and how to use them most effectively. AP, initiative and move distance per AP are dependant on your attribute points. The game has several weapon types, unfortunately most are pointless to use, because sniper rifle and assault rifles are king. Ammo is scarse, so you cannot outfit your whole team with the same weapon type. Ignore melee, it is completely useless. You get to make a team of 4 rangers and you get to have 3 NPC characters. You will need these, because they will have skills your team does not. Unfortunately their stats are all over the place, so they will never be good in combat, except for the 1st NPC that joins your team. Graphics are ok, although I did have 1 or 2 graphic issues. Tip: use the Z-key a lot to highlight objects you can interact with.

Игра интересная, но капец, как нудно в неё играть.Особенно когда хочешь сделать 100% ачивок.

The best role-playing game I've ever played and also one of the best single player games. Played the director's cut and spent 200 hours with it. Didn't get bored at all, enjoyed the story and had great time with huge amount of decision I was allowed to make. Gaming mechanics are little bit clunky, but does not ruin the experience. Based and red pilled.
