Even though I also have Original Sin on PC I think I'm grabbing it for PS4 also.

I totally forgot the console release on this. Even though I'm still playing the witcher and FO4 comes soon I went ahead and used some BB credit on this. I usually play two or three games of different genres concurrently and this should fit into my rotation somewhere.

This game looks really cool.

Years ago, I had a buddy who had the original for his PC and thought the game was really interesting.

I also like the turn-based combat similar to X-Com's.

I might have to pick this up for the PS4.

Question for those who have it, will it be overwhelming for those who never even played the first one?

Just got this for XBOX1 couple weeks ago cause I loved X-Com (played thru the last one multiple times and on ironman). It's kind of a mix of fallout story and X-Com gameplay imo. I am having some tough encounters right away tho. This game doesn't hold your hand like other games but the story seems really good and has alot of depth to it so far. Had to go down from default difficulty to Rookie. Figure I will go back up when I get more battle experience. So in short I would say much more story than X-Com and Battles are tougher for me.

If you do get it, make sure you talk to everyone in the first area(Ranger Citadel). I didn't and left out into the wastelands with a party of 4. Found out later it could of been a party of 5 if I would had talked to everyone (specifically one person) before I left. Made combat much tougher in the beginning. Like I said, game doesn't hold your hand.

I started this last night, talk about AWESOME!!!! I started as a party of 5 but unfortunately I lost a party member early on after getting jumped by a group of 4 giant rabbits.

The game is sweet. I would have loved to have an ironman mode for this like on X-Com, but I am pretty certain there is no way to make it through without re-loading. So many twists and turns and some really tough encounters.

My first play through I left the citadel with a party of 4 and it was almost impossible. There are some nasty things at the AG center.

I had the original for the commodore 64 way back in the day, my buddy and I solved it over summer vacation. It literally took all summer, we'd play baseball until dark and then play wasteland until 3am. Wasteland 2 is hard, the original wasteland was bordering on insanity because you could only save the game at random times and you could get utterly screwed. It was like an ironman to some extent. Still ranks as my best video game experience ever. This was before the internet so there was no way to get spoilers or walkthroughs or anything like that so finally defeating that game so satisfying.

25 years later Wasteland 2 comes out and it didn't disappoint although there was never the same sense of urgency because you can save and reload at any time. But it was still awesome.

I'm glad a few more have got around to playing this. I enjoyed it for a few weeks at release till The Witcher and eventually FO4 distracted me from it. I will be going back to it though for sure. It's pretty much exactly what I was hopping for it to be.

So I picked this up a few days ago on ps4. Seems like a really good game but my guys can't hit the broad side of a barn. 80% of my attacks miss even when I have 80% chance to hit. Is this normal starting out?
