I forget, does Roy turn immortal once you finish it? Otherwise you could just kill him immediately.

...I still like that he tosses Tenpenny off the tower though.

Nope, I remember cutting his throat while he slept. gently caress Roy.

Ammo reloading was game-breakingly awesome, I loved walking around early-mid game with 5,000 10mm SMG bullets. I

What, you didn't like firing every bullet 7 times over? :unsmigghh:

Ammo reloading is largely irrelevant but it gives people with OCD and/or autism an even more infinite supply of ammo

But seriously they're really good at making games where I can gently caress around and mod things to do whatever, but I would like it if they hired some competent writers for their own stuff. I hear writers are pretty desperate and aren't very expensive.

I want them to keep everything that was new for New Vegas and just expand on it. Keep the handloading and hardcore mode and faction reputations, but build on that instead of breaking it down. Because I'm going to mod the stuff they take away back in either way, so they may as well make it easy on me.

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
In Jagged Alliance 2, you can order equipment on the internet and have it shipped to the local airport, where a disgusting, swarthy clerk will hassle you (and possibly steal parts of your shipments). If you kill him, he will eventually be replaced by another clerk--only, this clerk is ten times worse than the initial guy.

Fallout 4 will have a radio personality manning the airwaves: The reanimated corpse of Haray Caray (or a doppleganger). In between semi-incoherent monologues about hypothetical scenarios and ranting about long-dead sports teams, Caray's corpse will interrupt music segments with mouthbreathing and chewing noises. In fact, in some areas, you will be unable to disable the radio. This may prompt some players to find and kill the ghoulish Caray...but it would be an egregious error to make. After a moderate period of radio silence, the stations will erupt with a man howling and barking like a dog.

In all honesty the often horrid and extremely brief conversations were a step up from their last game.

It's actually the ghost of your father, watching over your every move and looking on in disappointment. Running for shelter instead of facing the Chinese nukes head on and showing them who's boss is yet another sign that he raised a pussy for a son. He only appears in your peripheral vision though and will vanish as soon as you look to see what moved in the corner of your vision.

How many times did people need to watch this trailer over and over again to find that? I mean I've loved this franchise since it first came out 97 but I get the feeling, based on how many Youtube videos of people filimg their reactions, that there are some people who have been watching it on infinite loop since Tuesday and jerking off to it.

This game will be worse then Daikatana in every possible way it is to be worse, plus several ways we've not yet discovered. John Romero is already preparing to make the entire FO4 dev team his bitch, confident in the fact that he is no longer single handedly responsible for the worst game to come out since ET.

I would cancel my pre-order but I am waiting on them to annonuce the collectors edition before pre-ordering it.

I could live with that no problem since I do like the song. Also wouldn't complain if The Dave Brubeck Quartet's Take Five was on the soundtrack either. My intense dislike of Butcher Pete for how often it popped on was enough for me to track down the extended GNR mod.

I can't really hate Big Iron, because while the version that's in the game is unbearable after hearing it ten times, it did lead me to discovering a different version of the song done by a slightly more renowned performer.

Not to say that Marty Robbins didn't have his moments, though.

The absolute best part about Big Iron is that New Vegas had a bug that made it play twice as often as any other song.

And since "Johnny Guitar" played five times more than the other songs, you'd hear "Big Iron" approximately ten times as often as, say, "Blue Moon".

"The world is a hellish place, and bad writing is destroying the quality of our suffering."
In Gearbox's Half-Life expansion "Opposing Force", protagonist Adrian Shepherd finds an experimental weapon that allows him to create gateways in Spacetime (did somebody say Portal?) that allow him to traverse between Xen and planet Earth.

In Fallout 4, there will be an experimental weapon developed by "The Institute" that will randomly teleport the player to a location on the map--including places that haven't been accessed yet and places that are otherwise impossible to reach. The Kotaku rumor-mill purports that, among these locations, there will be a chance to appear far above the worldmap (leading to an inevitable falling death), a Vault-Tec nursery occupied by a doctor with a very familiar voice, and one that mistakenly transposes the player with his/her German Shepherd (an allusion to Adrian Shepherd??).

However, the feature is allegedly "incredibly buggy", with the player frequently appearing inside of walls and other NPCs--in one such scene, the player teleported inside of a Red Army ghoul, who screamed and screamed until the engine caught up to the error and killed them both in a violent explosion of gibs that broke all textures until the game was restarted.
