Even though I do prefer some of the modernizations and the gameplay of Wasteland 3, Wasteland 2 is still my favorite in the series. The setting, tone and atmosphere are just perfect for me. Glad to see you reviewing it too!

**This comment contains a minor spoiler about the early game**

Good game for sure. The early game dilemma was really well done. Even after you make a decision on which settlement to save, the radio keeps torturing you with feedback about what you doomed the other place to. It made me feel bad to the point of restarting the game. All of these years later, I still remember the voice of a woman begging for help on the radio while her loved ones were dying.

Love that you took the time to play and review this one. I got to perform the bartender in Rodia (this was at the very beginning of my voice acting career) and it absolutely launched me into this world and all of the craziness involved therein! Glad you enjoyed it.

Getting a new PC very very soon ....my god all these beautiful crpgs I've missed, I am going to have a blast. Thanks for all the content Mortismal.

[talahar]

I've been very happy to be part of the Wasteland 2 kickstarter. Great game.

[Ock_mantis]

I love wasteland as a whole. All 3 games are amazing. And im just grateful 2 and 3 even exist.

[hemangchauhan]

I played this an year after Director's Cut, one of the first proper CRPGs I ever played.
Combat was fun for me, I love Xcom style tactical combat.

[mehmetokur]

A fantastic game. So many details, great atmosphere and excellent world building. We need more crpg games made with that kind of passion.

[juliobonetti]

I love this game ao much! Thanks for this review. As an old man with kids and a job, I finally finished Wasteland 2 last year (I bought and started the game when it launched and got stuck on a random encounter with lizards). It's always a pleasure to hear your perspective, my man!

[vinniecorleone]

An extremely helpful & enjoyable review of a favorite game of mine that I've often struggled with, thank you! I also love the "Mad Max" Easter Eggs in the game as well!

[pronoydutta]

I liked both. Wasteland 3 is admittedly a bit zany and comes off as a bit PG rated because of the dialogue or some characters, but they both play well. In WL3's defense, it skirts that line and manages to pull it off without devolving into shark jumping territory for the most part.

The wheels start coming off the axle a bit at the end of WL2 with the combat encounters, but it's very strong throughout. I don't think the main story matters much. It was clearly just made a backdrop with the villains bringing some of the dread for the setting.

[JazzzRockFuzion]

Oh man — so stoked for this one. WL 2 & 3 are among my favorite games of the last decade

[douglaswilliams]

I bought this through Kickstarter and got the boxed set with the nice map. Great game! Good job on the review, Mort. I pretty much agree with everything you said. This actually makes me want to play it again, as I haven't played the director's cut version yet.

[bigego]

Been waiting for this. Couple thoughts. i picked up the directors cut when I upgraded my console from 360 to xbox 1. I had hurt my back and had to take a couple weeks recovering (kept telling myself I'm not really injured I'm vacationing in the wasteland). Played very well on console. (I'm almost completely a console gamer because, although I love crpgs in general I do not do well sitting at a desk; console games get played in easy chair). You might also mention that the leader of Inxile, Brian Fargo, was also the producer of the first 3 Fallout games while at Interplay, a company he started. Good vid

[GamerGrade]

Your work ethic is incredible. Do you 100% a single game at a time to review, before moving onto the next, or do you play several titles simultaneously?

[mrmoviemanic]

I loved Wasteland 2 so much. It's just a really long experience but worth every bit of it.

[CGSudio]

Game was awesome, it was the first game I backed on Kickstarter. I finished it on supreme jerk without too much dificulty. Ahh fond memories.

[jaredponder]

Haven't even finished the video and was listening at 1.75x speed, but you are so thorough and deliberate of an orator, that I can tell you are skilled and passionate, so that alone made me subscribe.

[MichaelGalt]

Knew that you would dig it. I did like Wasteland 3... but Wasteland 2 was a lot more "open world". I feel like you could better customize your party, as well. And the tone was much more consistent.

I actually like the Hightower Ag Center conundrum. You had to think carefully about how you, as a Desert Ranger... you would pick. Also, makes it more interesting for a replay, since you can just take the other choice to see how it would go.

[bozzb.]

loved this game, played it when it came out and had a blast, will definitely replay W2 and W3 when I finish POE 2, great video :)
