Wasteland Wasteland 2 Pre-Release Discussion Thread [GAME RELEASED, GO TO NEW THREAD]

[aris]

The codex is not the last bastion for anything, and your doomsday prophesies are silly. If anything, there are more old-school rpg fans today, than there ever were.

 

[General Maxson]

Dude. The codex is not the last bastion for anything, and your doomsday prophesies are silly. If anything, there are far more old-school rpg fans today, than there ever were.

Well anyway, you are not one of them so why bother posting here? Trolling?

 

[aris]

No. Because I enjoy staying here, and it gives me lulz (clarificaiton: I'm not here FOR the lulz, which is apparently against the forum rules).

 

[General Maxson]

Obvious troll is obvious Maxson, you need to focus your efforts on the real mutants.

Well I guess I just find him/she/it extremely irritating, don't know why though. I will refocus my mighty paladins elsewhere where it is more prudent and needed.

gaudaost: keep on trucking... Although I nicely called bullshit on your argument that Fargo is a coward, which is a shameful thing to say, not because this is codex, but because it simply isn't true, as I already explained.



MAN IS A FUCKING HERO!

Now, that is some EXTREME butthurt.

I wonder, why didn't the vision document quell his hatred as it's obvious characters will have personality, and especially NPCs (not to mention he can play with 1 ranger and all other characters NPCs which will essentially be like Fallout companions, maybe even better and improved). If that was why he was raging in the first place...

 

[Infinitron]

He does seem to have toned down his rhetoric, but he's still slightly butthurt. I don't know how to get rid of his edits without initiating another "edit war", though...

I've exposed him on the Talk page so at least other editors will know to beware.

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

What did I tell you. This guy isn't just going away, oh no.

 

[hoverdog]

someone is still arguing with gaudalost?

 

[LoPan]

Has Fargo been crowd-bullied into detracting any other ideas, or is there just that one instance?

Seems absurd to cast doubt on his virtue for dropping something as dodgy as a social media feature. It might've been easy to do and if people wanted it he might've given it to them, but no one did so why bother. It's not like he is putting Wasteland 2 in a Bioware engine because of public demand, or something similarly absurd. Crowd-bullying, if you will, probably has to be close to unanimous, or at least seem close to unanimous, to have any effect, I don't think such a phenomenon of wide protest could occur over anything less frivolous.

 

[aris]

Isn't casting doubt over games that are yet to be released the reason why we are here? People aren't shy to do it with other games, why should wasteland 2 be any exception?

 

[LoPan]

Not when your doubt is unfounded.

edit: It is not a matter of the nature or purpose of the codex (which is to discuss old RPG's, if anything), but the basic tenets of conversation. Having a discussion about a straw man is a waste of time and leads to frustrations in the participants.

Brother None
It might help our cause if you could provide transcripts of fuzi0n's deleted posts on the forums. In particular, the posts where he flips out and threatens to pirate the game.

'dexed.

The game isn't out yet and already so much drama and butthurt. Can't wait!

Infinitron: not only it would help, but it would be great for the lulz to post it here.

inb4 gaudaost is revealed as a fuzi0n alt

I don't agree that my doubts are unfounded, but that's ok. Otherwise, I appreciate your wish for serious discussion without use of fallacies, but it seems slightly out of place on this forum.

Meh, I thought it was something more hilarious... He is just plain retarded and boring. And not to mention a disgrace to Fallout (1,2 of course) fans, if he considers party members not being mute a huge flaw in the game. FFS Fallout 1 npcs are almost mute, so what? And Fargo never promised anything like he says about party members. NPC won't be mute that can join you. But I guess you can't argue with retards.

He is more of a bioware fan, seems to me...

 

[Infinitron]

I've added the text of that post to the talk page just in case.

 

[Brotherman Bill]

Mr Ost is causing surprisingly large amounts of butthurt

 

[Grunker]

My sentiments exactly. A proud dane doing his best to stay on the edge of "trolling or serious?"

 

[aris]

Not dane, thought otherwise you are almost right
It's kind of surprising to me too.

 

[Grunker]

Then why "gaudaost". Is cheese called 'ost' in any other language?

 

[aris]

swedish and norwegian for example.
