Fair enough, I mean by now (2.5h in) I'm mostly anticipating how she can fail to brace herself this time.

Seventh Arrow posted:Speaking of Splinter Cell Blacklist, I've been playing through it and once you rescue/kidnap Kobin he has some black market weapons that he can sell you (if you invest in it). Anyone know if these are just loud assault weapons, or is there anything stealth-friendly in the mix? Pretty much all his stuff is for people playing Assault who want to roll around blasting people with a Desert Eagle and a AK. IIRC the only stealth guns he has are the PM pistol and a VSS suppressed carbine.

Nah, its not realism it was just trying way too hard to be grim and gritty. It is interesting though that Tomb Raider 2013 was originally going to be a straight up survival horror game.

I'm pretty okay with VATS, but if you tried to opt out of it in 3 you'd be in for a pretty painful experience. So someone doesn't like it at all, telling them to not use it as if they have no right to complain is a pretty dumb thing to do.

It's more useful to use it than not but you can skip it and not really have much trouble.

If you were on PC, there were mods to help with that as well. Of course with Bethesda games, PC is always the way to go. That said, I thought Fallout 3 and New Vegas were both pretty great games, with Fallout 3 edging out in atmosphere and NV having much better writing quality. For me though after Morrowind, Bethesda games are there to mess around with stuff, exploring side stories and fighting 100-150 mod install orders :P. Getting Fallout 4 day one. :P

VATS pretty much makes clear that new Fallout's combat isn't very good or fun and needs a crutch to get it over with faster.

I think the only time I extensively used VATS in 3 was when I was doing a sneaky-punchy run through because it essentially gave me a short distance teleport that ended with their face flying off. Otherwise I really just used it as a "point the camera at whoever is shooting me" button.

Anonymous Robot posted:VATS pretty much makes clear that new Fallout's combat isn't very good or fun and needs a crutch to get it over with faster. The dark secret is that classic Fallout's combat actually wasn't very good or fun either, which is why beelining for power armor or otherwise breaking the game actually made it more fun. I would like Fallout 4 to have fun combat but I don't hold my breath.

A big mostly empty map full of the same enemies that are in every fallout game, a bland or nonsensical story, and countless other design choices could have an impact You can have the prettiest environments and the best gunplay in the world and still make a bad game
