52% of SW voted that Wasteland 2 would receive a score of AAA and above yesterday. Current metascore is 80 after 5 reviews and that seems to be generous. Reader average is 7.3 at the moment. What say you, SW? Still getting it?

It's landing exactly where I expected it. Hopefully the OP knows that 8/10 doesn't mean a game is horrible...

Meh, I lost interest when I saw the skill sheets and spreadsheet UI. The should have called it Wasteland 2: The Spreadsheetening. I'll be saving my money for Eternity.

Wasteland 2 is just another old-school RPG wannabe that confused being overly complex with actual depth. Similar examples see Divinty:OS.

Not a flop, unlike Destiny.

Well A) floppage is determined by GS score vs hype B) it was hyped AA according to that link

You apparently have no clue wtf you are babbling about. Divinity was pure genius. I can't argue with your claims on Wasteland 2 because I haven't played it yet, I will say that nothing you have mentioned is a big negative to me. A lot of folks like complexity higher than a pop-cap game.

I hope the mods lock this to add to TC's ridiculous conspiracy theory

  • Hype is determined by Gamespot scores. No Gamespot review is out yet.
  • Hype is determined by Gamespot community. In your own link, the hype for this game seems to be set at AA, not AAA.
  • Even with a Metascore of 80 and a user score of 7.3, it's rated higher than Destiny.
