Hermit Car Crab, mutated spiders and my end review and rating

[Barrelz]

Just completed the game and whilst admiring the concept art, I saw a few things that were obviously left out and dropped from the game.

Two of the most noticeable were spiders (unless these are in Highpool) but by far the best thing was the Giant Hermit Crabs that wear cars.

Really wish they had put these in, in fact i found the mutated animals in this game quite dissapointing. Pigs, dogs, flys, toads, badgers and rabbits were just a bit of a letdown and not very imaginitive. Some random encounters with mutated animals would have been awesome, i think it happened to me once or twice when near the ag centre and to be honest it was just rabbits and badgers.. Maybe wasteland 3 will live up to more mutants and mutated animals, it was really missed in my playthrough. I guess it is possible that i somehow missed this behemoth of a crab and if that is the case then i guess i only wish there were more of them, as they are quite obviously a great idea. Overall dissapointed with the minimal and unimaginite wildlife especially in the second map/Location.

My Review
Enjoyed the game, but will not be going for another playthrough. I dont think this game was given the attention to detail and love it deserved. A good game with ok elements, but nowhere near a great game. Although not directly comparable, but as far as post apocalyptic RPGs go, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are vastly superior in my eyes, due to variety, story and presentation, which i found Wasteland 2 lacking. Unfortuanetly the whole process felt a little bit of a chore at times and with a few issues i experianced with the logbook, it was possible to lose direction a few times, which can be laborious and annoying. The learning curve with the C.L.A.S.S.I.C point system and how it related to skills was confusing at best and bewildering at worst, add to that the perks and quirks, the latter being almost redundant and unneccessary, it lead to a very over complicated beginning.

For a story driven adventure i found it only just subscribed to the format in places and failed on imagination in others. One saving grace was the characters personalities, random dialogue and humour. The voice acting was brilliant, when it was there and quite sorely missed in certain characters that really diserved it, when it wasnt. On a side note, Angela Deths use of 2 voice actors really threw me and begged the question, why?


Glad i played the game, found it very confusing, lost the plot several times, probably wont pick it up again for another playthrough any time soon.
Rating 6/10

Shouldn’t this be in the review section of the game?
I think this game feels slightly unpolished hence the left out concepts

They added a lot more lines of voiced dialogue to the DC version, some of them being added lines for Angela. Either they couldn't get the same voice actor, or enough time passed that the original voice actor forgot how she voiced the character. Probably the former.

At any rate, I definitely agree that the lack of the mutated hermit crab was very disappointing.

Very true. But I can't write a review for this game. The store page issue seems to effect review's as well. If I click 'write a review', it just takes me to the store home page. I wrote it here with the intention of copying it over if I found a way around the problem.

Yeah. This is what I guessed happened. But they couldn't get the whole dialogue re-recorded? Sometimes clicking on different options would have 2 separate voices which really bothered me when dialogue was supposed to be an important feature to this game. It was immersion breaking for me and although happened right at the beginning, stuck with me as a negative all the way through.
