"It's 50 hrs, guys, and this is just the loading time". lole
Could not agree more, new it could not be just me. So slow
I came here to make the same comment! :)
I think this generation is just barely running the games they make now.
@@auntedna6376 i agree
they need to optimize better
quality over quantity
The Fallout similarity isn't by accident...it's the series that inspired Fallout and Brian Fargo is responsible for both.
No shit sherlock
@@Supadrumma441 well clearly he didn't know that, hence my comment
@@andrewwowk935 Mack knew, he just doesn't care what a developer has done in the past, he only gives a shit about what a developer has done NOW.
Far too many game devs and studios get away with "makers of x franchise that was well recieved" Mack don't give 2 shits.
@@Supadrumma441 then Mack needs to work on his communication skills, because the way he words that portion of the video makes it sound like he has no idea why there would be such a close resemblance to Fallout

"The words the words the words the words the words the words the words"
MUSIC TO MY EARS
The FUCKING words...from the developers
the words..the lies...the words mack!
@There will be Changes *ding*
The words the words the words the words the words you know what i mean?
I actually did review Wasteland 2 but it was early access many years ago and I totally forgot, thanks for reminding me guys :)
And Fallout was derived from the first wasteland. (This is the true "fallout")
And than there was Fallout tactics.
@@tookiem7618 well not really. It was an inspiration rather
@@kivsa85 FO Tactics gets a lot of shit, but I quite liked it really. Probably a guilty pleasure, but still.
Not as good as the other early Fallout games (it was obviously a break from the norm in that respect), but I still liked it
@@DanielLee1 I don't know why it gets a lot of shit because I freaking loved it and still thinking about how good the game is until this day
Fallout was derived from the first wasteland, mac.
I played the hell out of Wasteland on my Commodore 128. Floppy disks and all.
@@chrisw6164 oooh fancy you. I played it on my commodore 64....I learned way back then that I could make copies of the discs and load in a new disc and get new resources...guess it was early game glitching. Such a good game...I always lamented that I didn't figure out the password to the club that was in the game....believe it was written on a random wall of a wrecked house.
Mongoswede Yes, the disc re-copy trick worked great for playing the game multiple times with the same crew and stats.
Commodore 128 was mostly useless other than in 64 mode. I don’t think I ever had any games specific to the 128, and I don’t think they made very many. It wasn’t until Amiga that Commodore games came back into fashion.
@@chrisw6164 Wasteland was easily the best game I played on the 64 and I'd say it probably defined my gaming experience for the rest of my life. Of course it was a lot different than anything we have today...I mean you had to "read" *gasp* :)
It's not "Fallouty". Fallout is the one that is "Wastelandy"!
@JD Quest Yup. And I view Bethesda's Fallout as the Disneyland version of OG Fallout.
You did play Wasteland 2 Mac! You reviewed it!
@@shinryusaiha It wasn't that bad. It had a great atmosphere, the music and sound was really well done to make you really feel like you were in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. For me though it was the first half that was good. The second half felt rushed and I felt far too powerful. Once I leveled my dudes up a few times and got my two assault riflers a decent assault rifle, my sniper a good sniper rifle and my medic a good pistol + lots of movement points to be effective as a medic in battle, I was basically unstoppable. Even what were supposed to be super tough boss fights ended up being a total pushover.
@@Aethelhald that's just cause you're too good man thats not the games fault, you're cursed with skill
Must be the old age!
@@mbaron4311 lol phenomenal
@@shinryusaiha it just had a slow start, the mid point was when it was at it's best
Really enjoying this game so far. As others have said, the loading times can be long but the story and gameplay (20hrs in) are wonderfully done.
Dude im soo fucking addicted atm
I don't have a huge issue with load times, but I honestly don't know if it's on ssd or not
@@danielbuhr4260 Little late to this thread but they massively improved the loading times a few months after release.
"he's a sly bastard at the back"
I love you Mack........ always get a lol
When Mack said he named characters after some of us, I was excited. Then just to find out I'm a "sly bastard in the back" lol.
Went back and am replaying Wasteland 2 (the director cut, which is an improvement) at the moment. This series can go on forever as far as I’m concerned.
You did actually review one of the first two Wasteland games, namely Wasteland 2. I remember your custom backstory was about broken xbox controlers and mumbling _the words the words the words_
I remember this he was the reason I brought iy
The more luck you get the more shit you get, the more shit you get the more crit you get. The more crit you get, you get BANK
Yeah, he did review wasteland 2. He must be off this week. (Rings bell)
@@theifforjack yeah his actually pretty fucked up and in pain atm so i dont blame him, he mentioned it in his "New Oculus Device owners will need Facebook account - RANT!" video which was a few days ago.
... _ooh the words the words the words, the words The Words! the words...._
I'm playing it right now and I'm loving it.
It's a good game and I could play 200 hours of this type of rpg. I'm glad they finally realized the quests and looting are the number one priority.
This game is so good. I am already pumped for Wasteland 4. I think I am more excited for Wasteland 4 than any other potential game.
7:35 i'm with you on x-com
the story games have a progression that (modern) xcom lacks while also providing a far more complex combat system.
OG xcom was fantastic but clunky, you were in COMMAND, from finances, to recruitment, to testing, to equipment and running multiple sorties it was ALL your job.
modern xcom is stremlined to the point that within a few hours in you have seen almost everything it has to offer. all that's left is to fill the arbitrary bars with numbers and raise enough psychic squaddies that only absurd RNG will prevent your inevitable victory.
Seeing a squad member one-rounded is neither engaging or predictable in xcom, especially when an enemy pod will be discovered, activate, do their little dance for the camera (that was wrenched out of player control), move into cover and prepare for their full-turn half way into the players actions.
There is a reminder of what once was with some new fancy visuals (for a turn based game), but the vitality of the setting and threat to your plans are gone, replaced by automated scaling, linear upgrades and the almost total removal of meaningful player choice (and risk/reward).
Not got far in the sequel yet but it's even MORE streamlined, only with semi-persistent bosses to interfere with your quest objectives, the in-mission gameplay does seem a little more interesting tho.
Wasteland 2 was the fallout I was looking for when came out, hope this is just a new history because 2 was perfect
This is great! Love when I come to this channel and automatically decide to buy a game based on your video! It's a great mix of Patherfinder: Kingmaker and XCOM, so perfect for me!
You really need to play Wasteland 2 - it's fantastic a throwback to the old Fallout games, with crazy characters, tactical combat, humour and a great great story. I haven't tried this one yet, but I liked the grafic's in the old game better.
You're great Mac, when you're talking about a game you enjoy it's just so pure and nice and it really shows conversely how passionate you are when you get salty about something.
Good to have someone who cares helping you find the good stuff in a sea of toss.
Thank you. I've been interested in this game and been waiting for a trustworthy reviewer to review it.
I'm glad you're doing a video on Game Pass. I only signed up to check out Flight Simulator for £1 and I'm definitely keeping it. So many great games and only £4 a month after the introductory offer. You would have to be subbed for 15 months to cost you as much as 1 AAA game. It's a no brainer for a gamer
5:55 - 6:08 Heat from the cops? Rep and bank? I'm sold!
This was one of my favourite games of recent years. The song at the end was amazing lol😅
What is this "Wastelands 3" Mack keeps rambling about?
It's the GOTY version where all the DLC with new areas are included aka having multiple "lands". Mack's just in the future.
It's a stack all the franchise's installments. Although it should be called 3 Wastelands.
Yeah Brian Fargo got screwed in the late 80s. Almost a decade after working on Wasteland he got to work on the spiritual successor. Fallout.
The thing that really bothers me with Wasteland 3 is the price tag. I think it looks like a great game but I can definitely wait for the sale on this one.
Kinda reminds me of fallout tactics. Having a base and cars etc. Looks comfy
Any news you've heard concerning me and a certain barn animal is clearly exaggerated and fake.
is it worth a 10er? XD
@@nosok88 I'm telling you, it's FAKE NEWS
Hey dude It's not like I was there and am putting it into my biography :)
The game is great, one of the best TBS out there, especially for post-apocaliptic fans, but i just don't like the art style in this one. Wasteland 2 had this certain look and feel, like a proper post-apocaliptic game. It oozed personality and the UI also fit the theme. W3 seems too similar to XCOM games, like they tried way too hard to copy that style, and the permanent grid during the combat takes away from the immersion a bit. Anyway, just my opinion, but i liked the art style and feel of W2 more than this one.
GG Mack, nice to see you playing more TBS games.
I agree with you. It took me a while to settle into Wasteland 3, some of the changes I didnt like so much. It's a really good game, but I think I prefer the second to be honest
I've got about 45 hours played since Thursday, I love this game. Main complaint is loading times, beyond that not much.
Its Falloutish, in the sense that the series predates Fallout.
Wasteland 1 devs worked on fallout 1,2
Its what Fallout took inspiration from
Made wasteland one, devs got fcked over, they left tried get wasteland rights but ea said no back in the day, so they made fallout out, then they got wasteland back eventually
They made fallout
In a way but this takes far more from Fallout 1 and 2 than the first Wasteland game which isn’t at all like Fallout. Wasteland 2 and 3 are honestly more inspired by Fallout 1 and 2 than the first Wasteland.
6:03 I was so waiting to hear the word BANK at the end of that sequence...you let a good joke get away from you mack!!!
6:03 "The more fights you have, the more loot you get, the more loot you get, the more money you get." They missed a real opportunity not calling "fights, loot, and money" "rep, heat, and bank." 0/10, would not buy
Yes fucking exactly this. Hes doing it on purpose.
Still the number 1 most honest, brutal and sexiest video game reviewers out there.. hahaha
he sure is sexy
What a game. I can get lost in this for hours. Pop open a beer , close the door and escape the world. Oh, it seems the technical issues including multiplayer are now fixed. I love the dialogue and the brutality of this game.
Thanks Mac, always come to this channel before I make any purchase.
I was waiting for this video to get uploaded.
MS PC Gamepass really is the best thing to happen to gaming this year. Appreciate the review.
6 hours in so far and we haven't had a single issue in coop so far.
Well, the game did just stop loading at one of the loading screen...got stuck at about 1/4th, but that's pretty much it.
It didn't work from the get go though but all I had to do (as the host), is to create an exception for the port in the Windows Firewall.
My friend who joins the game didn't have anything to do on their end.
The only bug we have is the pop up text bubble that don't disappear sometimes...can be annoying when it stays over a dialogue option...
I gotta say though, that would be cool to be able to see what your coop partner is doing...at least seeing what attack they're planning and which enemy they're selecting...
I have always loved your outro music.
Yea i noticed the loading times were quite long, i can't imagine not having a solid state for it lol.
If you're a console user then don't buy this game yet. I got it on Xbox and it crashes constantly, the camera has also stopped following my team multiple times and just locked in place.
That's another game I won't be buying. I'm saving a fortune. By not buying game that are also on console.
First mistake: playing on console
@@thevlaka Haha.
Thank God for game pass, I can't even start it... Crashes every time I try to start it up
@@MrBeardedBastard I just got done playing for 3 hours and it crashed 7 times.
“Crit” sounds dirty
Excellent review as always. Mirrors my own experience. They really need to fix the camera. Consider trying Wasteland 2. It's pretty good and can probably be found for cheap now. It might be more accurate to say Fallout is actually Wastelandy. The original Wasteland was released in the 80s well before Fallout.
Mack, did you see the blog post from the Avengers devs that detailed the game's monetisation? It's bloody horrific.
Got a link?
If that's the case I'm so glad I'm skipping that for Suicide Squad
>I didn't play the first 2
a mistake
I'm waiting for a sale. Got this entire game for 19$ with expansions. I can't believe I slept on this gem. So enjoyable.
2 was better
This game is so cool but it is sooo glitchy. It really desperately needs a patch. I had it bug out and crash on me on four separate occasions and I just bought it 24 hours ago. Makes me paranoid to not be saving every two minutes just in case it happens again. And the load times make it even more difficult to deal with. Unfortunately I might just have to shelve this one for a few weeks until they put out the inevitable patch. Great story and fun gameplay at least.
just finished Wasteland 2 and despite the atrocious UI and several major shortcomings, I thoroughly enjoyed it
I'm going to be 'that guy' and point out that it would be more appropriate to say "Fallout is very Wasteland-y" rather than the reverse, as Wasteland predates Fallout by 9 years. Those of us who are old enough remember thinking that.
I love love love love love love love this game. I'm going to be playing it all winter. 10 major endings possible to land on. I wish the graphics were just a little bit less foggy on some parts, other parts look great, but the whole game and the way it sounds and feels to play, the charm and the characters and amazing worldbuilding, the story and alllll the different factions and possibilities, it's just a fantastic game to cozy up winter Saturday nights make a fire smoke some herbalinos and hop in the Kodiak for some Colorado adventuring.
NPCs have thousands of different continuous conversations that you eavesdrop on, you learn about the world and hear some funny GTA-style conversations. I walked past this guy who was talking to his friend on the street, downtown. He was all worried that he had overheard his wife cheating on him.
A few days later, I walked by that same street and he was talking to that friend. The friend asked Did you find out about that infidelity thing? and he was like "Ehhh dont ask.. it was a broken robot's timing belt... apparently it vibrates really fast..." and the friend was like "Oh..." lol, the world feels really alive, awesome game, play it!
Phenomenal game.
LOL the mad axeman , sounds about right ;)
I love this game, a proper RPG. Have myself as the (fat) leader-medic with shotguns (I'm a student nurse with military background) and made the second "main char" a crazy small woman with sex maniac (or something like that) background and gave her sadomasochistic quirk and specialization in bladed weapons. She is absolutely ridiculous character, I love her. 😅
great review. think I'll wait about 2 months for some patches though.
Great review Mack. Really entertaining. Thanks for all your efforts.
Mac, if you like this type of game - Silent Storm is a must play. Older title but with fully destructible 3d environments.
If you like Fallout and Pokémon chances are you’ll probably love this
the most important skill in this game is... toaster repair! go get it guys...
For the love of god it's Wasteland, not Wastelands
1:27 You didn't play the first 2 Wastelands? You did a review on the 2nd one, mate.
Glad they addressed the inventory management. It was really annoying in WL2.
Wasteland was a very old game, made by some of the devs of this game, that was the thematic basis of the Fallout series. Than after Bethesda bought the Fallout franchise, than scammed out the rights to make a multiplayer Fallout game from the owners, they continued the first Wasteland game with Wasteland 2, this is the third game in the series.
Too expensive for me. In the past, Console games have been more expensive than PC games due to the nature and structure of the Console marketplace. Now some companies charge the same price for both.
I've already bought the game, but I watched your review anyway. I've said it before, often I don't agree with you, but I'm always entertained by your reviews and I appreciate your (often brutal) opinions. Thanks Mack.
There are main quest and side quests. What? That's revolutionary!
80$ canadian bux is way too much. I wouldve bought it instantly for 50$
I guess I'll wait for a sale
Had to check if I'd been missing a "s" all this time
Quite a few no-risk buys recently with Game Pass.. FS2020, Wasteland 3, and Crusader Kings 3 for example. It's been freeing up my money to try out and support more independent games, some of which have turned out to be hidden gems!
What hidden gems have you played? Those are my favorite
@@Christian-oi7sd Most recently: Night of the Dead, Ruinarch, Dungeons of Edera, and The Infected. I would add Stone Rage, but IMO it's too early in development to tell.
He’s about to be so disappointed in Mafia Remake
The more loot ya get, the more money ya get. The more rep you got the more heat ya get!
Great vid Mack! As always!!!
If you penetrate the enemy's ring.. he is definitely going to know you're there.
As far as map free roam, can you revisit locations and will loot and enemies respawn or are things finite? I'm looking for a strategy game like this where I can micromanage everything like Final Fantasy Tactics and replay battles as I like.
The game wasn’t inspired by XCOM! It’s actually a spiritual successor to the old fallout games!
I thought that Fallout was the spiritual successor to Wasteland.
NightinXgale kinda both now as Wasteland 3 has both Fallout and itself to take from
Fallout is the spiritual successor to Wasteland mate.
Wasteland came first.
@@lewisconnor8672 well technically he’s right both Wasteland 2 and 3 are spiritual successors to Fallout 1 and 2 not the first Wasteland which is nothing like Wasteland 2 or 3 more akin to a bards tale than Fallout.
@@CaptainAmercia
Fallout 3 is nothing like Fallout 1 or 2... So what’s your point?
Wasteland came first and the games are still being developed by the OG creator of the series.
It's not Wastelands 3 it's Wasteland 3. Not trying to be a jerk, its just that, if you're watching a review of a game, it's easier to take it seriously when the reviewer gets the title of the game right - constructive criticism.
RESOLUTION 1920 X 1080 @ 69 HZ (1:22)
* ding * ding * ding * ding * ding *
Might wait on this one, they came out with a much-improved Wasteland 2 Directors Cut about a year after release. My guess is they’ll do the same to this one.
Dude.. Fallout came from Wasteland.... Wasteland isn't Falout-y, Fallout is Wasteland-y
Wasteland is fallouty because fallout is better and more successful
@@Christian-oi7sd No dude.. Go do your homework. It started out as Wasteland and they couldn't get the Wasteland IP from EA, so instead of making another Wasteland game, they started making Fallout.
6:50 P E N E T R A T E T H A T R I N G
I'll be purchasing this game when they get the Coop fixed.
Do us a Baldur's Gate 3 review mate! Don't know what you know about Baldur's Gate so it might take you a bit of effort to learn about them first, but would love an honest reveiw of it.
i love this review and like the game and its a no brainer on game pass thanks for reviewing it Mack
To be Honest mate with a 2080 super a 3900x, 16 gigs of ram and a pretty quick M.2 drive frame rate in combat is still really poor. However game is great. Oh and love the channel
I love this game. I’m 20 hours in and not even a quarter of the way through (I just got passed the Reagan village). It is a very slow game and the combat is quite challenging. I spent a whole hour trying to take down these bandit camps in Denver it was hard af, really fun though!
thats like Fallout 1 & 2...both very easy games to get destroyed on
The more fights you get, the more loot you get, the more loot you get the more rep you get. HEAT FROM THE COPS!
Great to see this one, hoping to get your thoughts on CKIII before release please!!
Gona be giving this a go tonight, I’ve never really played turn based, will see how I get on
Can you review pop up dungeon on steam
Game pass is also getting ck3. Definitely a good time to subscribe.
Wasteland 2 Directors Cut has been a great game.
Mack you DO realize that this game is a Masterpiece. And will go down in history as 1 of the All-Time Greatest series EVER in the TBS genre. Just figured i would point that out to ya. Love ya
Been playing this game, enjoying it, one thing though is I dont really feel I am in a wasteland. I have tons of guns, tons of ammo, tons of health kits, tons of future sci fi weapons etc etc (this is on hard). There is no real feeling of having to scrape and improvise and survive in a harsh environment etc.
Is it worth a beeeeeey... let's read... the words, the words the words, thr words, the words, *hiccup*..... of the developer. I love this channel
I want a mafia/mob version of this so bad.
Closest thing to this is empire of sin, it's pretty fun but very reparative. Depends what you like I guess but check it out!
Having to micromanage 6 people completely turns me off.
This is how Fallout started out, it's a good copy of it. Its even better then the newer 3d shitty Fallout versions.
Hi Mack. Been a sub for 7 years.
couldn't get into wasteland 2, the lack of polish all around was jarring. It seems they really improved it a lot in this iteration
This game was BUGGED at launch and still has most bugs in now a month on.
The patches have done little to fix issues on PC, being mostly targeted at sorting out console issues (which were even worse by all accounts)
As I write this the game has been out exactly a month and hasn't been improved very much for PC players.
Saves vanishing (requiring a complete game restart)
Items disappearing
Quests not being completable
Very long load times - 3+ minutes sometimes - on a new SSD drive - that's not a "feels like 3 minutes" that's a real 3 minutes that feels like quarter of an hour.
You might hard reset your system assuming the game has crashed it takes that long. I did once.
these issues are single player. Co-Op is a complete mess and pretty much unplayable/
Fallout Brotherhood of Steel, how fucking awesome that one was!!!!
