So in Fallout 4, Power Armor negates all fall damage. About halfway through the story, you get to visit a Very High Spoiler, so naturally the first thing I did when I got there was jump off for chuckles. I landed safely with the deafening WHUMPTH, you know, the killer shockwave that happens when you jump off of things. Of course, then my companion, also in a suit, landed on top of me. Goomba-stomped. It was so great I couldn't even get mad.

I can't stop using artillery. I hate bloatflies, took out a nest with artillery. I hit a stag the other day with artillery. I basically have spent what little time I have to play going to each settlement, upgrading it enough to support an artillery piece, then I shell everything around it till I run out of range. I then raid the insides of whatever camp that just got shelled out of existence so I can get more supplies, in order to build more artillery. I have 15 settlements so far. The commonwealth will grow in size and protection with giant gently caress-off cannons protecting them from everything. The rest of the game can be total poo poo, but this is like the best kind of sniping you can do in any game ever. It's extra fun with super mutants, they head toward the smoke, wide-eyed in wonder at what the hell it is. Also melee is extremely fun once you get the disarm perk and learn the fight patterns of the different enemies. Lot's of fun going toe to toe against a foe in power armor with a power fist, and all I have is a serrated Chinese officer sword and my general's uniform on.

Len posted:You got mad they made the protagonist married and straight and having a kid because that stops you from roleplaying The Doctor. Easy fix. Sell wedding ring items, ignore the tutorial stuff, and start really being the doctor once you get out of the Vault. Immersion is amazing. Not sure if this game will work too well with a total realism playthrough. I like to try and only loot things I believe I could reasonably carry in a backpack or with straps. So junk and scraps aren't too feasible and I limit myself to very few weapons.

Arx Monolith posted:Easy fix. Sell wedding ring items, ignore the tutorial stuff, and start really being the doctor once you get out of the Vault. Immersion is amazing. Yeah, I should say that while I'm not actually playing as the Doctor (I used that as a comparison point to explain one of my three characters, who isn't even the one I'm playing), I've done this and it's working well enough. There's still a lot of lines about babies I have to either shrug off or sometimes be unreasonably dickish to people to avoid, but the underlying game is fun enough that I don't mind. This is the first time in a Bethesda game that I've just straight-up not cared to continue the main plot, and while that itself is a bad thing, it's also the Bethesda game that's the best for that. I can just not bother with Sanctuary, hole up in my gas station, customize and name my weapons because they're clearly my best friends in this world, and then in the morning just pick a direction and go. EDIT: vv Not as far as I can tell, but it's where a lot of the reminders of 'you are a married parent, you should be looking for your son' are. Just straight-up not being there has improved avoiding that considerably. Cleretic has a new favorite as of 01:32 on Nov 22, 2015 |

Fatman Critical Strikes in VATS. The camera follows the drat nuke as it unerringly flies towards the target, some poor bastard's face. Critical Strikes in general, they loving rule. Also I was clearing out a settlement when I realised I'd lost Dogmeat. He turned up inside a locked house. He has no idea how to use his wizard powers.

While exploring an urban setting I came upon the sounds of battle. Instead of 2 factions fighting each other I came upon an NPC named Art who was fighting.....Art Oh Bethesda, I thought, as I took screenshots (I couldn't get them both in 1 pic as they were running around and the fight ends quite quickly). As I am trying to figure out how to record this, it hits me... SYNTH! The fight was over quickly, VATS doesn't give any indication which is which. The victor simply reverts to peaceful mode and continues on. I tried repeatedly to find a way to differentiate them naturally while alive, you can check the body after for synth components. I was really hoping Dogmeat could be used to detect synths but looking back I probably didn't use the command function. In the end I killed the synth by save scumming at which point an audibly shaken Art wanders into a raider base and died?

And thus this becomes a Love/hate thing with Bethesda. I didn't start the fight between them and when I came upon them I quicksaved. My previous hard save was about a good 45mins back. So by cautiously approaching gunfire on my way to an objective and not saving every 5 minutes I missed out on a very interesting part of this little story.

Took me a minute to figure out the Synth infestation. I fixed what resources had been damaged and built a couple of new turrets, and within minutes everything I built had been sabotaged. There's still a synth or two infiltrating that settlement, but after the outbreak of violence they're laying low and just sabotaging what they can to starve the settlers out.

With top CHA you interrogate both and find out. You can also say you're with the institute using CHA and the synth levels with you and asks for help killing the real Art.

I just started playing Resident Evil 6 with a buddy, and the combat is so much better than 5 it's unbelievable. Movement is far smoother and faster, and the game drowns you in ammo to help with the bullet-sponge enemies. Also melee is surprisingly viable, and there's nothing like sweeping a zombie's legs in time for your buddy to elbow drop or curb stomp its head.

Agent Hunt was the goddamn coolest thing about RE6 at launch and it's a shame no one will ever again know the special joy of completing a mission objective while successfully fighting off three other people trying to stop you. I remember one time I was about to finish a mission and I dropped a dude and he started cocooning into another monster so instead of just running to the door I switched to a magnum and dropped onto my back and blew the dude away with two shots as soon as he got out. Most of that game was insane rear end but the combat mechanics and Mercenaries and Agent Hunt got me my money's worth out of it and then some.

I have never heard of this Agent Hunt guy, outside of an option to disable him in co-op. But I've honestly just started melee'ing and wrestling zombies over shooting them, partly because the game won't let me shoot zombies that are playing dead. And partly because half of those zombies chose to lay on the floor, just asking to get their heads stomped in. I'm a little sad I can't wrestle the huge fat zombies or the weird skinless guys, just the normal enemies.

Agent Hunt is other people joining your game as enemies and it was cool when enough people were playing to make that a thing that would actually happen often. Also Alteisen is right and RE 6 is all about shooting a dude in the right place to stagger them and then wailing on them with melee. You really want to take he time to learn every enemy's weak point. RE6 really could have been one of the greatest games of all time, that combat system is impeccable. Too bad about all the poo poo that isn't combat.

Too bad about all the poo poo that isn't combat. Basically Capcom should just make a full blown larger scale online Mercenaries game for the PC and consoles and let people have at it. Include different game mods so it doesn't get too stale too fast and it'd probably do better than most of the recent RE games.

The best way to kill bloodshots (weird skinless guys) is to wait for them to jump at you and then grab them out of the air and stomp on them for an instant kill, actually. gently caress the Mercenaries mode in that game was phenomenal. I'd buy an entire game of it with expanded map selection and character roster.

There's also a terminal in a raider base detailing how they went from Minutemen who quit after the previous General died and their slow descent into becoming raiders. They tried being mercenaries and their leader even mentions having to hang a couple of guys because they were attacking caravans to bring food back to the base. Then he starts talking about how the people they work for keeping stiffing them on pay and the traders in towns refuse to work with them to at least getting some food. muscles like this! has a new favorite as of 16:39 on Nov 23, 2015 |

More Fallout 4 stuff: I was wandering around the Boston Library to figure out how to get inside and kill super mutants/return a book since the doors were all locked at Advanced and I didn't have any skill for it until I noticed an intercom. I had the option to say I was an employee, and the voice asked for my ID number which triggered an option for a charisma check to just guess it, and when I picked that I went, "Uhh ... 123456?" and the voice goes "Welcome, Mr. Mayor!" and opens up. It was so unexpected I woke my roommate up laughing.
