Just going to jump in here and say that Wasteland 3 is currently 80% off on Steam at the moment, which is a phenomenal deal.

Seriously, if you enjoy Fallout, XCom or any well written dialogue with good voice acting, you owe it to yourself to get this game. I'm gonna do a second playthrough next month.

How does it compare to 2? Because I bounced off 2, iirc i found the dialogue, voice acting and combat pretty lacklustre

Haven't played 2 but from all accounts, 3 was a major step up in every way. Very much feels like the true spiritual successor to Fallouts 1 & 2.

Imagine putting Gollum out in earnest, and thinking it was a good game.

I've enjoyed some of their games in the past so it's a bummer they got forced into making a game that was so out of their wheelhouse it never stood a chance.

It's outside of literally everyone's wheelhouse. The only two interesting games with LotR branding are made worse for the intrusion of LotR. It's not a good setting for videogames or new stories. There's actually millions of fantasy settings that are literally just LotR-but-appropriate-for-new-stories-and-videogamifying.

Definitely. If they expanded the bird loving sim and reduced the poo poo rear end platforming the game would have been a hit.

Can you imagine a cozy Gollum farming sim?

Maintaining a pigeon coop?
Farming cave mushrooms?
Protecting your crop from the influence of Shelob?
Annoying those filthy hobbitses?
End-game vacation to a hot locale with your favorite bud?

Oh yeah I mean that it is a particularly bad fit for a studio that mostly made point and click adventure games and hadn't made something on that scale before.

I really need to go back and finish that. I stalled at the mid-point because one of the patches made it have serious issues with my video card. I have since upgraded, but have yet to reinstall it.

It might take some kind of sudden upturn after Chapter 5, but up through that it's been pretty easy.

This amuses the hell out of me for someone to say, since Fallout 1 and 2 were the spiritual successors to Wasteland after it didnt get a proper sequel.

Works great on it for me, and there is also a demo that's first 2 chapters if you want to check for yourself.
(Can import the data from it, though it doesn't do the achievos/unlocks right... not that they really matter).
