As I said about the previous NCW, not a huge fan of the format but it keeps being a decent enough source of info without going unnecesarily deep for my taste (I want to discover some things by myself). That being said, even though they showed some new stuff here and there I still want more.
Nomad V is definitely going to be my choice for the first run, I keep finding the experience more and more of my liking. The other paths are intriguing too but not as much as the nomad one (I’ll still play them all, mind you). Those scenes of nomads around a campfire and patroling the Badlands at dusk (or dawn?) with the city in the background are, as the whippersnappers say these days, Big Mood
The weapon design is very cool and creative, just like I expected. The shotguns in particular look awesome. I just hope that not only they’re fun enough to use but also that the AI thinks the same, if you catch my drift. I want to see foes take advantage of their arsenal like V will of their own. Make me s**t my pants at the sight of a goon armed with a smart sniper rifle.
(By the way, I saw a weapon that looks a lot like Fallout’s Laser Rifle. If they were to make that one, or any other, similar in both spread and range to the tri-beam variant then it could have the potential to become one of my favorites.)
For me, Samurai’s music has almost been improving with every song they release.
Chippin In is the weakest one so far,
Never Fade Away is a notable improvement without really being a repeat-listen material, and
The Ballad of Buck Ravers is as OK-and-yet-very-enjoyable as NFA I'd say, but
A Like Supreme is by a mile my favorite one of theirs currently, I just love its composition. What I’d like to hear now is some short snippets of what all the radio stations have to offer.
So, yeah, I would’ve prefered a more traditional set of developer diaries but I enjoyed this Wire for what it was.
