@First Last this is how I felt. This game felt like wasteland 1.5 with modern graphics. The difficulty was non-existent. There is 0 penalty to death in this game unless you fully wipe and resources are littered everywhere.

Look for the man with soulless eyes staring as if into an endless void, into a kaleidoscope of frothing black in search of the tiniest spark of light that was once his joy in life and purpose for living. This man will have a small boy with him, sparkling with life and curiosity, that positively beams as he looks up at his father, and in that particular way of a toddler speaks proudly attempts to say, "I love you, Daddy!" To which the man will robotically turn his head to this boy, stare through the child as if his eyes were a glowing red hot knife and this spawn mere butter, muster up the strength to show society he is still a normal and functioning human being, only to flatly reply, "Sure... me, too," before returning to a gaze that would pierce the end of the universe to the unknown beyond.

[@ghost.3271]

The devs have done amazing work updating this game. There is an entirely new seamlessly added crafting system, it's simplistic but it solves the nagging ammo/supplies issues, namely the annoying loop where you'd need ammo for a long roadtrip to your destination, but you're low on funds, so you try to farm money for more ammo, but now you're spending up your other types of ammo doing so. The game runs buttery smooth even though it has a popup which tells me my system requirements don't meet minimum. So many of the crashes have been fixed, the only thing I've gotten 15 hours in on PC was a bug when I tried to make 2 different characters loot 2 different boxes at the same time. I absolutely love every inch of this game, the passion is oozing out of it and the intricacies they crafted between locations, quests, characters, story arcs, it always feels like you have multiple things to do in a location that you can get all done more or less all at once. It's a great blend of being simple enough to keep track of character progression on 6 characters, while being deep and cohesive enough to make your own creative, synergized skill/weapon combinations and go an unlimited variety of paths with your personal team loadout. The world is vibrant and alive and interesting, the lore is cool, the characters are gritty and in your face like characters on Breaking Bad or a good HBO show. I can't say enough about how any RPG fan, any XCOM fan who likes RPGs, this is a game not to be passed over.

[@STALKERvoir]

>Let me know if you'd like to see a How To Wasteland 3 for the future I'd absolutely LOVE to see a video of this from you. This game is great, thanks for covering it! Are you okay by the way? You sound different in this video, almost as if you're forcing yourself to push this video out.

[@StratEdgyProductions]

lol, I was actually worried the whole time because I didn't know if people would start flinging their own shit at me for releasing a short review video. I actually wasn't even going to post it until Patreon said they liked it and I was like, okay, why not. It was just an experiment that I might be doing more often between longer vids.

[@STALKERvoir]

@@StratEdgyProductions With shorter videos you lose the opportunity to talk about the nuances of a game or delve deeper into them, but short videos like these are still pretty good and convey enough information about the game to those who wanted to know a little more before buying or for those who want to see if others agree with how they view the game. Plus you can always make a longer deeper video about it later if you liked the game enough, so no harm either way. I hope you weren't too stressed out over the video or not, because like I said in the initial comment you sound a bit different. Maybe it's just because it's a shorter video, though. :)

@@StratEdgyProductions Bro this game's content pool on KZbin is so barren and so in need of quality videomakers to shine a light on it, you are easily one of the best candidates to fill the pool not to blow smoke up your A, its just the truth, so now that the crashes and bugs are fixed and they've added free bonus content etc, this game has tons of missed potential on high quality content.

Hey Edgy, you don't need to lockpick doors (although it's faster and still useful). If you really want to get in, you can just attack it and the door will eventually break. Melee works best since you won't be wasting ammo, it'll take a few tries, but it'll go down

[@balintszollar]

Really well thought out video, as always. Despite it's annoyances (which i'm sure they will iron out in the coming weeks) W3 is everything I hoped for. Having an absolute blast with it. And my god, the soundtrack is one of the best I heard in the recent years. fantastic classic choices and the covers are all spot on and fit the mood perfectly.

[@99jdave99]

you know, that line about "restarts" being a struggle in rpgs is something I really resonated with. The ways I've always seen myself interacting with games is in my ability to create builds for characters that I can maximize in a moderate timeframe (maybe like 10 or so hours) and repeat until I get bored of the game. I think that's why I've always gravitated towards skyrim (like >1k hours), final fantasy tactics a2 (which I also have >1k hours in), dota 2 (which is that in a 45min timeframe), and cardgames (which I enjoy playing more for the deckbuilding aspects than anything). Not explicitly related to the video, but hearing that line and the subsequent explanations really made stuff click with me a bit as to why I struggle to enjoy rpgs like I did when I was a kid. Slow "build" times and punishment for wanting to "start over." Well, that and the fact that I just struggle to pick up a game beyond the first few times I play something, which happens in like 75% of cases. I'll keep this game on my radar in case I'm ever itching to play something, thanks for the vid.

[@sparkyspinz9897]

This would be a good game for you. You screwed up a build? No problem, recruit a new ranger and make a new build. The recruit will scale to your party level. You can make new characters with new builds anytime. No drawbacks, besides replacing a ranger that you maybe got attached to

[@BarokaiRein]

Couple of things I recommend people to do right off the gate is to turn off auto end turn and the grid. Removing the combat grid doesn't make it so you don't see squares etc when moving and stuff, it simply makes it so you don't have a constant grid on your screen for no reason during combat. It straight up does nothing for you.

[@dudeguybro]

I had a great time in my first playthrough, but you definitely made some good points - especially with the bugs (like the med pack one which I experienced, as well). I plan on doing another run with only two Rangers to have more storied companions in my group. I think it would be interesting to get as many stories in as possible. I have a few gripes about the game, however: - The loading screens and bugs. I felt I would just combine these since these are internal to the game and not part of the gameplay / story. The loading screens did get cumbersome. I actually made it a habit to walk away from my computer to go do something (even literally just to get up and walk and come back). I didn't put it on an SSD, but it sounds like even on a SSD this was a problem. Unfortunately, new bugs were introduced with some patches to fix others. For example, the amazing perk at level 10 sniping which allows you to continuously ambush as long as you get a kill actually caused the game to get stuck in the limbo of not being able to make commands or anything as Strat pointed out. - Weapon balancing. Surprisingly, assault rifles felt very weak in this game. Marshall Kwon was my AR guy, and he might've been my weakest party member, which seems strange. In W2, assault rifles were badass. SMG's and Shotguns were terrible. My SMG leader and shotgun / skills guys were amazing in W3. They would rack up kills and Kwon... eh... hardly. He was usually there to get a kill if enemies were really low on health. - Companion starting stats. I think we should be able to build the companions stats from when we recruit them, especially their starting skills. Not to say some of the companions I ran across wouldn't be good in a party at all, they were just essentially useless for my party at the time. If we had the option to build them from scratch while keeping their personalities / stories, that would be awesome. Overall, I loved this game. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes a great story / RPG elements along with XCOM style combat. From when I'm writing this, I'd recommend maybe waiting a month before some of the bugs and such are flushed out. They did get annoying.

[@Teeleer]

a work around about getting a free attack when you move or reload is to switch back to the character, so long as you have at least one other ranger who still has actions

@Strat-Edgy Productions - FYI, you can destroy most doors you don't have a key or lockpicking skill to open... Kind of freedom of choice and solvable with different kind of thinking, which I kinda liked!

[@pwnual]

You can still use the free action, you just need to click the ranger again to re-select them and use their free attack. Just make sure they aren't the last to move then it will end your entire turn.

There are a few different endings based on your choices... I wish I knew which one you went for and what it was you didn't like about it.

[@cheesynipples4477]

At the end it implies he sided with Angela and didn't like the way the game portrayed her. Alotta people seem to think it is shallow that this game lacks a "good" ending.

[@Ata.TeaGargler]

With skills like Stormer, you can still pick the character again and attack for 0 AP even after the game automatically ends their turn (and grey them out) due to them running out of AP as long as they're not the last one in your entire Squad's turn because the game will switch to the enemies' turn immediately.

One of the weird bugs I encountered was with Lucia Wesson, she got inflicted with the Internal Bleeding affliction but after I patched her up the 20% Max HP debuff would reapply itself after I would load a save. (Because I had already healed it, I couldn't remove the debuff because it technically didn't exist but the debuff would persist regardless.) I didn't notice this until about 6 hours AFTER the event occurred. That was just one of the few events that made me replay chunks of the game over because the game dicked me with something out of my control.

I liked this game but for some reason, its missing something. When i started it, i was glued to the screen but as the game got further into the plot, i started to go through the motions. I have played Wasteland 2 DC on console & that game seems to be more enjoyable. I loved that the missions had level recommendations but the downside to that is, u know u are gonna make it out alright as long as u dont do anything stupid a few times in a fight. W3 technically plays better but im not gonna be itching to play it again. Then again W2 was my first in the series so maybe thats why i am feeling it more than W3

[@Relek448]

For me, it's the opposite tbh, i love wasteland 2 but i can say it can feel like it's slow at time (examples being the water mechanic that was thrown out the window by LA, also LA being a major difficulty spike and other smaller issues) But wasteland 3 struck a balance of being not too short or long, which really helps the replay value. Also mentioning that all the attributes are actually usefull to all rangers (I'm looking at you luck and charisma from wasteland 2). I'll still play wasteland 2 from time to time but i will acknowledge the overall improvements wasteland 3 has.

[@ShadowmarkReturns]

The game is great, it tickles that Tactics RPG itch that I am always looking to scratch, but some game design decisions, bugs, UI mishaps and other things made me groan in frustration. A good example of this was Aspen, having been given a radio briefing by the general's captured brother, it made it sound like I should do the whole place by stealth so I don't let Victory Buchanan know I am there and thus possibly harm the general's brother. I manage to full stealth all the way up to getting the bridge down. I stealthed back to the start of the map, but when I tried to stealth cross the bridge which I had managed to do, up until I reached the start of the bridge and got inturrupted by radio dialogue freezing my movement in the line of sight of a Breather patrol! And since I couldn't move, the patrol found me and broke my whole stealth mission as Victory taunts me other the radio after I finish the combat. Another example is in the space station on the speedway where a whole encounter breaks and is guaranteed to freeze up if you ambush the Russian robots before triggering the alarm. If you trigger the alarm because you don't have high enough sneak skill like I did then you are led into a really difficult fight, bottlenecked with turrets that do AOE damage. Minor touches of yo what the hell include plenty of graphical glitches like highlights of corpses still standing up, the interactivity highlight getting stick if you keep it held down while interacting with one of the objects. I enjoyed my time with the game, but some things just pulled me right the hell out. I give it a 7/10, two points above average, 3 points have been reduced due to weird game marker placements, unfinished quests, bugs, and other grievances.

@@Watcher-hh4mu Do you know what satire is? A mockery of political upheaval and the more fanatical followers of it I thought the Gippers and them thinking everyone were communists was incredibly entertaining, until I saw a bunch of American articles, including some crazy Christian preacher saying that giving children free food is communism. It got me thinking. Which, you know, is the whole point of satire Every piece of media, whether its a book, movie, tv show, or video game has politics or political themes in it, and anyone who says otherwise is either lying or deluded. Would you have preferred that InXile did what Activision did with Call of Duty, where they said the games aren't political in any way, but then last years Modern Warfare reboot went and blamed Russia for a war crime that America committed? Or how the new Cold War game censoring Chinese massacres? Ubisoft also does this. 'The Division 2 has no politics' they said. And yet The Division 2 had trailers promoting gun ownership, and that new Tom Clancy mobile game had a trailer that had a terrorist group using BLM symbols, as well as other alt right examples I can't think of atm. At least InXile isn't pathetically claiming there aren't any politics in Wasteland 3. They're just keeping quiet and letting players make their own decisions.

I lost several hours of progress at one point due to taking one of my starting two rangers out of the team and putting them back in, only to find that they now had negative attribute points to spend. It's just, unpolished.

[@Elgar337]

I had gotten a new pc after years of not playing video games and I had an enormous backlog of games I wanted to check out. One of the first was Wasteland 3. When I finished it, even though there were so many others I wanted to move on to, I immediately restarted it on Supreme Jerk and finished it again along with the first dlc that had just come out. Now that I'm almost done with my list, the first game I'll replay is Wasteland 3.

[@questcontentj871]

I experienced the bug with the input lock or the enemies not attacking in that same place with the slavers

[@Bac_Drowned]

Where can I buy that wastelands music? That's some awesome stuff

[@redinthesky1]

The most recent patch warrants a new playthrough. Loading times are improved so much that it seriously improves the flow of the game

[@sullysosavage365]

When Blood of the Lamb came on that first time it kinda blew my mind, and it only got better from there. Fucking love this game man

[@scatsandwich38]

Man, im loving this game.

[@ultimatefattie9022]

please do a How To be a TRUE Disciple of Metal for Wasteland 3

[@TheRavenShadowsWolf]

Actually about the ambush and the ap - if you're using a brawler the lv 10 perk takes your attacks down by 1 ap (or potentially directly to 1 ap per hit, I haven't gotten that far yet myself) so you might just have bought the end of the line perk, which is why if so, it's reading "wrong." (I tend to level other skills but combat first as I don't like failing checks) It could be the game has a problem recognizing that you took the perk. I play on Xbox One and I've had my share in several (frustrating) re-starts.

[@Nomad-bl4yw]

quick search says the game shares the same music composer with fallout [mark morgan] this is a huge +

[@rafplaysgacha]

Please do a How to Wasteland 3 please.

[@fragarena9910]

daaaaamn the songs

[@sjent]

It seems that this game does not suffer from problem that W2 had, where often you have only a choice between bad, bad and bad and there is no way around it. Like Temple of Titan.

[@kayvikroy6594]

Really enjoyed, wish you would of made a story spoiler section has i feel i am not the only one with mix feelings about the story's protagonists and antagonists actions and reasoning.

[@Harry_S._Plinkett]

SPOILERS I’ve seen a lot of people complaining about Angela Deth’s hypocrysy in aiding a warlord to stop a dictator, but it works. It wouldn’t work if the game never acknowledged it, but companions do call her out on it, and the ending you get by siding with her is certainly not the good ending. In fact, I’d say it’s one if the worse endings, as either Arizona or Colorado die as a result. I also like how you’re forced to make a choice that mirrors her actions if you side with her. Where she sacrifices Kansas to Ironclad Cordite to take down the Patriarch (in her mind, saving Colorado), you too must choose whether to sacrifice Colorado to save Arizona, or vice versa. I think her storyline fits in pretty well with the themes of the game. What I don’t like is Liberty Buchanan. She seems like a decent enough villain, but her initial encounter outside Denver kind of ruins her. It seems pretty out of character for her to be merciful and stupid enough to let the Rangers walk away at all. Also, it’s cool you can choose to fight her then and there, but clearly the devs intended for you to lose, resulting in a neat hidden ending where the Rangers fail their mission. But if you manage to win, instead of the game accounting for that outcome, you just get that same ending. It doesn’t work at all, and the whole encounter left a sour taste in my mouth. Other than that I thought the writing in the game was pretty strong, I just wish companions had more going on, like loyalty quests, reactionary conversations to plot events, dialogue during combat, anything to flesh them out a bit more. But I’m curious to hear what your issues were with the writing.

[@kayvikroy6594]

@@Harry_S._Plinkett I guess it has to do with what i feel like is a lack of depth in the story development, the point of having to chose outcomes is lackluster since not all story routes have the same quality it varies a lot and felt much to be desired en section is just a big rush. I think they did have some issues mentionned on forums and cut corners no? Anyway as always the journey is more important and was truly enjoyable.

[@Delby5]

Probably my favorite game of the year. Plays great on console too btw for you console only people like myself

[@juniperburton7693]

I have 2 NVMe drives in RAID 0 so I load extremely quickly

[@bmessier2]

This game, while not perfect at all, is a ton of fun, especially in COOP, it's a blast!

[@braunheise2680]

This is an overused word, and there are reasons for W3 being so (buggy/crashy launch and a few months before the patching fixed it) but W3 in its current state, is so underrated. Barely saw the game in any Top 10 of 2020 lists, barely hear about it or see videos made on it, the lack of content about the game besides a few main staple channels is very apparent on KZbin... but this game feels so inspired by Fallout 2's freedom mixed with faction politics a la New Vegas, sprinkle in some elements of games like DOS2, and brings so much of its own ideas to the table, the sound design and aesthetics of the game, the wintery Colorado setting, the humor and replayability... Wasteland 3 is one of those games that I could see aging like a good wine. I think we are going to see it bloom and get the attention it has always deserved over the course of the next year to year & 1/2. Some of the big reviewers I could easily see picking this game up now that it's patched and fixed, playing it and seeing how barren the content pool is on KZbin, and it'll make a brilliant candidate for a long review like Joseph Anderson Luke Stephens Noah Caldwell Chris Davis style video. Really hope it gets that kind of attention, there's so much in this game to talk about and enjoy.

[@Darkholow]

The best CRPG since Pathfinder Kingmaker imo. Too bad it's riddled with many bugs and the long loading screens, but once those bugs are fixed it's gonna be a cult classic.

[@hillieo9760]

I loved playing this game so much. Burning the Dorseys. Wiping gippers and sending reagan to his infinite precept as a intelligence within the commune. Killing fish lips. Just everything was wow. Though the problems were the decision making and outcomes of the game as if you wipe the gippers out there shell not be any oil going to Colorado springs unless till the credits when you get the hard heads to basically make denver theirs. Heh though the biggest problem is when we reach the end. I swear there shouldve been more after liberty and i swear after getting out of Colorado springs they removed and changed things constantly which made the game shorter and more of a cod infinite warfare type of progression in some ways and more. Though enough about the problems . I enjoyed the hell out of it It was so fun and the music, gameplay... bugs... and atmosphere and especially the characters goddamnit. My biggest regret is at the end of the game i passed the 10. HARD ASS skill check.. but for the next 10.KISS ASS skill check i only had 9 on kown and couldnt level up! Well i guess i deserve it for accidentally grtting the bizarre infinite money glitch

[@BarokaiRein]

Right so it's one of those ''It's great but wait few months'' type of games,yeah that's fair enough,pretty much every single new CRPG aside from original sin 2 has been like that.

[@OodldoodlNoodlesocks]

Glad I waited until now to get this game. I get to avoid most of the nastier bugs because I am loving it so far.

[@Wo0zy23]

12:00 Is that “The Spectre” by Judas Priest, or am I losing it?

[@Elgar337]

There are a lot of reasons why Wasteland 3 is the game of the decade, but I'll only give you one: Toaster Repair.

[@Rodelero]

Will I miss way too much story wise if I start with this one, WL3 and not 1 or 2? Awesome upload Stratedgy thanks

[@Kaisar011]

You can play W3 straight away, there's few references there but not in the way you must play previous title.

[@ps238principal]

@3:07 Is that deer frozen solid, or has living in the aftermath of a nuclear war made it completely fearless, even to an armored vehicle throwing snow in its face?

[@bukay5861]

Talking about op characters I ended up one shotting the final boss because my shotgun character got a bullet storm critical on the fucker and I was so confused for a second because I thought the fight would last longer

[@Ravi9A]

Ah, radiating the big avernum energy.

[@Rusty126]

That is exactly what I thought the monster army was going to be.

[@flankyfranky3600]

Guys play it on Pc, i'm playing on a PS4 and the loadtimes are Hard.. i mean really hard. Maybe watch a Video in the meantime, like me Ahh lets discover an underground bunker in the heights :)

[@leninthebeaniesouhacker.2459]

Btw, you can destroy the door using weapons instead of lockpicking

[@jmmywyf4lyf]

I want to love it, but it's crashing my entire PC during the tutorial dialog when the bazooka guy gets his head exploded...
