MisterBibs posted:New Vegas represented Obsidian's attempt to argue that, in the modern age of gaming, they still know what Fallout is, or what's best for it. It's a statement that the West Coast of Fallout still matters, that there's still interesting threats to be had after Super Mutants and the Enclave are gone. are you loving high

Vanderdeath posted:No, seriously, how can anyone objectively say that Fallout 3 is a better game and story than New Vegas. Simple: Bethesda took a series abandoned/forgotten that I dug, and used their talents to make a better game out of it than the original ones. When the folks whose talents were responsible for the abandonment/forgetting made a game in the series after that, it was a step back. Can't fathom it? The NV thread is dotted with posters shocked that their friend/brother/mom/boyfriend/etc told them they like 3 over New Vegas. It's similar to Star Trek fans realizing that their friend couldn't stand DS9, or that Trek Show They Hate won yet another online contest... ImpAtom posted:Liberty Prime was apparently one of the most popular parts of FO3. I'm not big on him myself but they don't think that out of nowhere. We're talking about a scene where you follow a giant anti-communist robot defeating the remnants of the United States Government through a series of lasers, knocking down forcefields, and throwing nuclear bombs like footballs. How could it not be?

Fallout New Vegas wasn't really that good imo. I don't know why so many goons fawn over it. It was better than this game though.

Zaphod42 posted:Anybody know how high you have to level lockpicking to get that Cryo gun from the intro? Look at the Perk Poster. PER 04: Locksmith. You need Rank 3 to open Master locks. Requires level 18. Pro-tip: When you encounter a lock you can't pick yet, take a screenshot of it to record the lock level. Then take a screenshot of your map to remind you where it is.

With how ridiculous adhesive costs are I'm starting to think all weapon/armor mods are just strapping something to the weapon/armor and then wrapping an entire roll of duct tape around it. And then another one to be safe. Maybe keep a spare roll inside the gun as a backup.

There's arguments to be made for the laziness of recycling a popular thing (and I do agree with some of them) but it's also not really remotely exclusive to Bethesda. New Vegas has references both subtle and straight to the other games including multiple characters appearing in New Vegas whose characters are half "hey, remember us from Fallout 2?"

I know you're fully committed to raging against Obsidian for being the failed owners of Van Buren and I respect the strong will it takes to dive deeply into that kind of ignorance. Having said that, Van Buren was made by Black Isle. Obsidian had people who worked on earlier Fallouts but they never made their own FO project until NV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Isle_Studios#Closure

Misterbibs is well known for being the games forum equivalent of Chauncey Gardener from "Being There," minus the good-natured charm and occasional, accidental insight. I am running this game on Ultra and am not sure why nobody has any shadows.

Merry Magpie posted:Are you trying to defend the reuse of the Liberty Prime escort setpiece from Fallout 3? I guess I am? What is your problem with it beyond "they reused a thing they did already" and "I don't like Liberty Prime." You really seem to want me to go "yes, it's terrible, how dare they" but I guess I don't see the issue? They reused a popular thing. It's kind of lazy and a cheap set of fanservice but I loved similar cheap fanservice in New Vegas so I'd feel pretty hypocritical complaining about someone else getting what they want.

Anyway I'm excited about possibly digging into this whole settlement-building thing. I don't expect FO4 to be as good as Witcher 3 as an RPG but as a toy box I'm seeing possibilities. Especially since I can apparently start loving around with workshop crafting, like, right after getting out of the Vault.

Apologies if this question has been answered already (I'm over 2,000 posts behind in this thread). I'm having an issue on PC with using a controller and navigating any menus within the Pip Boy, pause menu, or main menu. The issue is that when scrolling up or down in these menus I end up almost always skipping down or up two items and skipping over any items in between. This prevents me from selecting specific weapons or items since they keep getting skipped over. This happens regardless if I use the dpad or the analog stick to scroll through the list. Is there any solution to this other than use a mouse and keyboard instead?

All benches in one settlement will share resources. You only share between settlements if you take Local Leader and set up a supply route.

Yeah, that's why I specifically used the phrase 'iirc' on that because I wasn't precisely sure about who specifically made Van Buren (I get Black Isle/Troika/etc mixed up given their shared fates). The point was that it took a comparitively outside company, Bethesda, to do Fallout properly in the modern era. Not surprisingly, an atavistic throwback wasn't as good to me. I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. MisterBibs fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Nov 11, 2015 |
