Playing that WOULD make you more excited if you didn't remember they aren't developed by the same people. It's probably better they remain ignorant. They probably love Fallout 3 just the same, though.

khy posted:Does New Vegas ever have anything on par with the Dunwich Building in FO3? God that was good. A building with spooky ambient noises? Yeah FNV has tons. FNV also has places with atmosphere and story like Vault 11, something FO3 writers couldn't ever think up. Remember, Fallout 4 isn't made by the company who fully fleshed out eight companions with quests and backstories, it's made by the company that thought "A vault of clones named Gary" was the pinnacle of zaniness XD Die Laughing posted:FO3 is the more "fun" game. So much wacky poo poo, I agree. Sometimes I mix up my Invader Zim DVD's and accidentally pop in FO3. It's the same kind of dull boring humor I can't really tell the difference between them. Cream-of-Plenty posted:I would definitely like (or at least feel like I would) Fallout to have "gunplay" that feels more punchy and visceral, like Far Cry 3/4 or STALKER or Metro 2033. The thing is, I also feel that the character's stats should continue to influence things like accuracy, weapon sway, and even damage, because these mechanics are important to the RPG aspects of the game. In other words, if you're playing a frail egghead with a low weapon skill (and you're not willing to invest points into combative skills), the player shouldn't be able to use his/her own skills to completely circumvent the lack of skill points. There are a fair number of Fallout 3/NV mods that make the shooting a lot more like STALKER--guns kill in a few hits, accuracy is separated from weapon skill, guns have significant range boosts, etc.--and they trivialize a lot of the character building/growth process and the game economy. There's no real point in investing into Guns/Energy Weapons/Explosives if you're basically as dangerous at Level 1 with 20 points in a skill as you are at Level 30 with 100 points in that same skill; if even cheap weapons are deadly, there's no real point in searching for higher-tier weapons or buying them; if enemies die in fewer hits, then your ammo pool lasts a lot longer and any sort of item scarcity vanishes. It's hard because the last game of this type to have static weapon damage and varying accuracy was Morrowind and people vehemently hated that combat. Even though it was RPG-like as hell, literally internal d100's rolling for every action, people hated it because it didn't have that punch that 100% hit chance does. A game like Oblivion can have scaling weapon damage with player skill and get away with 100% hit chance easily, you can attribute the lower damage to having tiny baby biceps (low weapon skill). Fallout3/New Vegas can't use that excuse because a gun does the same thing no matter who uses it. One mod for NV flattened all gun damage but made the scope sway wildly with lower skill. I thought that was maybe a bit too much, but for the game to slide back a few notches from weird FPS to good RPG something like that seems necessary.

It makes going back to areas rewarding and gives a nice edge to exploration, because it's actually dangerous.

Settlements are pretty much retarded time sinks for wanna-be architects to minecraft endorphins into their pea brains. If the UI/controls weren't bad maybe it wouldn't be so loving maddening. I bet it ends up as a lovely tower defense mode. What is even the point in getting tons of people in settlements? The armor situation is hosed even more so. I think you equip a base armor?? Then equip other pieces on top of that? When you select a new piece of armor it only says whether it has higher or lower values than your current armor. It could be +1 physical but -10 energy defense but all you'll see is "+++" and "---" But all of that is also pointless because power armor is free at the beginning of the game. A tiny bit of scavenging means you never have to leave your "turn the wasteland into a burning hosed-to-death pile of caca" suit. Basically ever. Ghouls are mega quick now. Maybe too quick. They're neat though. 6 hours in and the game still disappoints me with quests. Guy at quarry wants water drained. Why? I dunno but he does rofl gl. Drain the water and mirelurks come out. "Thanks for the help here's 50 caps" TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING YOU gently caress WHY ARE YOU HERE The biggest positive I can give this game is wowee at that loot interface. That only took a decade.

pro tip for anyone having trouble early on (not really spoilers but I'll spoil it anyway) do the brotherhood of steel quest at the police station southeast of the starting location. You get his laser rifle and it's basically a free legendary. Because he's an invincible NPC you never have to fire a single bullet and you collect the free gun a few hours more into it I think I might upgrade it to a 7.5-8/10. The writing is weak but if you play it like fps diablo (aka destiny) it gets a bit more fun. Bethesda REALLY wants you to read the 100000 data logs in terminals to read their stories. I don't know if anyone actually does, but just a heads up: they are not great! They're much better with visual storytelling using item placement etc. mbt fucked around with this message at 01:42 on Nov 11, 2015 |

Eonwe posted:i cant wait for a mod with a good story some crazy dudes made a great mod for fallout 3 called new vegas, you should check it out I played some more and had some more okay experiences and some other really weird/bad/disappointing ones, which seems to be par for the course at this point. Right outside of boston (which by the way is a pitiful sized actual living city, I think megaton was larger, boston just has more ruins surrounding it), there's this place called something something cul-de-sac, surrounded by locked gates. There didn't seem to be any way in for non-master lock pickers so I naturally found a box with a wall next to it and abused the terrain to jump over the gate. Easy bandits inside, one had a key to the cul-de-sac gates. What just happened? What was the intentional solution to this place? If I got in legitimately I wouldn't need the key that the guy had.  I found this subway which got me super pumped to fight ghouls (not actually that was a joke) but inside there were 1000 people named "triggerman", which I assume is a large extended family inhabiting this subway tunnel. One yelled "He's here for the detective!" Which I only later found out was related to a quest I didn't pick up yet. Next I found a place called swan lake, out popped a super mutant with swan boats for armor I thought oh man this is rad I can't wait to see the drops. A few minutes of kiting around trees later, he drops a randomly generated legendary arm piece that reflects 10% of melee damage. At that point I turned off the game.

Reveilled posted:This is several pages late, but do not do this before you get a quest from an opposing faction to do it, unless you're willing to risk breaking the main quest. The game will quite happily let you massacre everyone on the Prydwen, then promptly break several hours later when it's trying to transition from one quest to another. is this a joke? I murderboned the BOS and Railroad because those retards invited in a psychopath, but I'm going with institute this time. Maxson and Desmonna are gibbed. If that makes the quests fail to trigger this might be a step below my already low expectations

Kurzon posted:What I love about the design of Fallout 4 is that the game never forces you to do anything challenging and thus accommodates many play-styles. The game is non-linear, there is little level-scaling, and enemies always yield XP no matter how weak they are. Thus, you're not obliged to optimize your character's gear and perk build. If you like, you can play a crazy barefisted nudist and grind your way to level 100 by fighting only mole rats. I never thought I'd read "lack of difficulty" as a selling point  There is level scaling

ending slides nothing on companions which is pretty lol. "I wasn't prepared for the future, but this time I'm ready, because war....war never changes" I have never heard such a poo poo ending to a game possibly ever. I don't actually know what the appeal of this game is. "the next fallout game"? That must be it, because there is nothing else here. This is the poorest excuse for a new vegas expansion pack I've ever seen.

Being accurate isn't always fun. I've ridden on the DC metro countless times and every time I play FO3 I see one and think "oh wow that's neat" then try my best to never step foot in one again. Except that's impossible because invisible wall rubble blocks your way. What's neat is when you DO something with the accuracy, like making the Repconn test site in new vegas a neat place with ghouls who want to go to outer space. It's a real life place (based on the Pepcon rocket fuel plant) AND it's more than just "hey we made this place in a video game isn't that cool"

I'll do all the writing and playtesting myself, and I guarantee it will come out better that this piece of plop. You can't make an open-world Bethesda game on this scale without bugs. it's LITERALLY impossible, believe me, I've tried. Anyone who says they should bugtest their games more, or put more money into writing needs to check themselves and realize what they're asking is impossible.

Fallout 4 is the best game I have ever played. Previously this title belonged to the Last of Us but now, as I sit tired and addicted, needing to get to class but wanting to spend untold hours of my life on this game, I can honestly say it's the best game I've ever played. I'm supposed to be working on my business. I'm supposed to be working on my script. But drat if i just don't want to fall back in to Fallout. The whole thing just blows me away. The story, the visuals, the creativity and the DEEP care and thoughtfulness that Bethesda took in creating this masterpiece is just too much. Bethesda is a learning organization, they learned not just from their own failures and success but the successes and failures of others as well. They payed attention to what people were saying and they improved beyond my wildest dreams. I honestly don't know where to begin in my grand list of praises. I could talk about the extraordinary characterizations. I could talk about all the little moments that mean so much. I could talk about the outrageously amazing factions, and your place in them. I could talk about the way the music hits the right notes when you enter different areas. I could talk about the compelling drive to find Shaun out there, and the way I beat Kellog to death with my own to hands. The exceptional voice acting. Taking Psycho, "loving Kill!". Ramming a Super Mutant Overlord off a 4 story structure with Power Armor, and just when he hits the ground and thinks he can breath a bit, I slam down on his chest, with explosive vents. When some punk raider thinks he can run up on you and you put his lights out with the end of your rifle. Trembling as a deathclaw throws you like a football. Making Curie blush. Seducing Magnolia. Flying around Boston in a Vertibird. Talking code with the railroad. That sense of restoring hope. It's all just too much. I'm guess I'm a fan boy for real.

Tenzarin posted:PC can use a controller, your a mad man if you try to play dark souls with a keyboard and "mouse". The game literally doesnt use the mouse, it expects you use use WASD and press keys like P and L. Good Luck with that. I would think the major reason is you don't see hackers on consoles. For pvp gods that's a big deal, for people like me who think getting invaded is the absolute least fun part of souls games, cheating owns bones, get wreckaroni'd invaders hope you think twice before ruining someone else's game. Same deal with fallout though, I'd never not play on PC because cheating out some of the dumber parts of gameplay makes the game a lot better.
