Btw, even worse than ubersoldats were crypts. Remember the moment where you enter the crypt for the first time and drop down the hole and enter the first hallway where two or three undead knights come out of the wall immediately when you pass them?

Yikes, I almost forgot about those too! Bad memories!

Still no Elder Scrolls 6, but plenty of Skyrim.

Yeah, we'll have to see how it ends up. Going to Fallout 4 from New Vegas was a significant downgrade in my opinion. I hope BioWare doesn't do the same corner cutting with the story in order to expand the gameplay like Bethesda did.

Still, I think the whole concept of flying robot super-suits in some sort of lush forest post apocalyptic open world sounds cool to me.

Bethesda made the shooting better in Fallout 4 but completely screwed up the dialogue, skill tree, and made it so companions weren't as effective. Their conference was terrible too.

Fallout 4 is one of those games you want to play uber badly, you buy it, play it, then wonder WTF did I just play?

You did not stop playing it, but it makes you have that German Shepherd look on your face.

Lots to love, lots to hate.

If it were not for the incredible power armor, I think I would not have ever finished my first playthrough. My second playthrough I attempted a non power armor based build, with high sneak and sniping skills and I ended up rage quitting.

I had maybe 10 or more unique character saves in New Vegas that had unique builds and weapons. That game was just flat out good.

My thoughts exactly but I never bothered with the power armour. Instead I went with ballistic weave on pretty much anything I could get on my character, and played on survivor mode once I had enough strong weapons and healing items to go through it. Playing on survivor mode before a major update which sucked all the fun out of it was really useful since it allowed me to discover ridiculous weapons early on in the game.

The thing that I really hated about the game was the constant screen loading which occurred every time you dared to sneeze or that sometimes the game would crash unexpectedly or the frame rate drops.

Bitch just vanished with all my stuff.

"This game is too realistic for me" I thought and I put it back on the shelf for good.

Both Veronica and Cass just make you into their beta orbiter anyways.

Yes it was. And I can't believe Bethesda hasn't at least teased another New Vegas 2 with Obsidian as the developers. They know how to make a game

One of my favorite aspects about New Vegas was the character and deep conversations.

Observe





Not a single conversation in Fallout 4 comes close to this whatsoever. You can really see where Caesar is coming from and hell, I almost wanted to side with him my very first playthrough. I preferred Mr. House though.

In contrast Fallout 4.. The video commentator is annoying but he points out some of the reasons why the dialogue sucks. It's underdeveloped with options just being yes, no, sarcasm, and ask for more info. Certain SPECIAL traits like Intelligence don't matter as much. And the characters aren't as developed.

You should have gotten Craig Boone. Try the game again and head to Novac to recruit him. Trust me. You won't regret it. Also, get the robot ED-E. These are the guys I always used.

Lol, I had Cassidy killed. She was useless in combat and her attitude annoyed me.

Veronica was pretty good in combat, repairs a lot of your shit, and gets you access to the Brotherhood in the best way possible.

I never used companions as anything other than 200 lbs of carry weight standing outside the dungeon, but that was mainly because I always play as a stealth sniper in Bethesda games and companions tend to mess that strategy up.

Speaking of New Vegas though, you can buy it for $2.50 on Steam during their summer sale. $10 for the game plus all DLC.

Fallout 3 was honestly enough Fallout to last me a lifetime.

At some point I just look at a setting like that and see nothing but inconsistencies. Like wondering where the fuck their food comes from, or how merchant caravans even operate when they can't take on three radioactive ants that predictably haunt a highway.

Sounds petty, but I appreciate a sense of civilisational realism.

Anybody remember Sudden Strike I and II?





Two games from my childhood that got me into whole history, weapons, etc.

I realized that I haven't played for some reason the 3rd entry in the series, so I installed it yesterday. Obviously it has 3D graphics but its still same old game that works well.
