Great turn-based strategy / RPG from Fallout creator - Brian Fargo - is out, and nobody here on NBR even mentions it!
I bought the game about 2 weeks ago, I'm ~31hrs into the game right now (would have been more, but I am doing a Cisco training at the moment - 6 days a week, 10 hrs a day).
My impressions so far are:
- game is like Fallout Tactics and Fallout 1/2 mix: player commands a group of (up to 7) characters, but there is a lot more conversations and events than in Fallout Tactics
- some elements of graphics are poor by today's standards (characters!), but it doesn't matter completely. Gameplay is great. Environments look okay and 360 camera view + zoom in/out features enhance the gameplay a lot, when compared to F1/2 and FT
- performance is good, but not great (on my rig, I7-3740QM +7970M, YMMV): there are occasional dips in FPS, which is a bit surprising, considering the character of the game and the relative simplicity of graphics. Overall it's noticeable at times, but has no impact on the gameplay.
- sound and music: resembles Fallout 1 & 2, suits what is happening in the game nicely
- there is a lot of combat in the game - a lot of XP and loot! :thumbsup:
- the game is looooong (I haven't finished the game, but seeing how many hours I played the game and where I am in it right now, I will have to put many more hours into it, before I finish. That's GREAT!)
- I had enjoyed Fallout 1 & 2 a lot; I also enjoyed Fallout Tactics a lot; I am enjoying Wasteland 2 a lot too!
- the game still has a few glitches, but the developers are patching it up regularly
What are your thoughts and impressions about the game?
Please share.
