It's early access on Steam - anyone jumped?
Not me. Paying $60 for an unfinished game is not something I do.
I finally caved in to the extra for the Beta Access and threw another 10$ via the Backer Store to hopefully receive a Steam key soon.
Since it looks like it won't be released anytime soon I just had to do it despite already paying 65$ via Kickstarter. (Mind you the original release date was November)
lol - I just had a look at Wasteland (1) you get free...erm, that won't be getting installed - not whilst I still have some sight!
I'm a bit lame with RPG's. £35 for early beta and a game I might not get into is a bit steep....but...on the other hand, it's not like I have any new games to keep me busy

Yep. Hell.. I've not even been purchasing stuff that's officially released - ones with which I had originally planned doing so. Just so overloaded, I can't even keep up with them.
I was a back on the original Kickstarter campaign but I'm waiting to play it until it is actually finished.
I will wait for the finished game...hopefully available on GOG.
I broke down and purchased it last night. I was going to wait, but I really wanted something new. Will post impressions as I get more into it.

Same here. Although, I gotta admit, I'm feeling the same temptation as Kushan.

Same here especially when they keep releasing patch notes about things they've added along with new screenshots.

If you can manage not to gag on the graphics, and the UI generally, it does play ok, as a text based adventure.

What do you not like about the graphics? The world map could certainly use a overhaul, but the location maps are not that bad looking (at least from what little I have seen).

Is not something I could play
LOL!
You realize, JD, that this thread is about the sequel currently in Alpha/Beta? I don't think it looks like the old 80s one. :P
See what happens when we gamers get spoiled by the graphics in the newer games? ;)
Oh I know lads....I was talking about my post where they were giving away Wasteland 1 free - I got a wee bit excited thinking "Oh...two games"...but I couldn't play anything that looked like that!
Oops missed the part where you said wasteland 1. I really should be fully awake and have my morning coffee before responding to forums posts ::)
