I found "Drinking Buddy". kinda wish I had made a melee character so I could go around with him as my companion and be drunk as gently caress for the entire game

those two blue semi-circles are subs that i am commanding. the green shaded area is the spot where i'm patrolling for soviet subs

going by the stuff on the right (the subs have identical armaments), they have 3 nuclear torpedoes and two nuclear rockets each

this has happened to me in other scenarios, lol. unknown underwater contacts + some paranoia on my own part = nuked whales

e: it happened again :smith:

the lightning bolt symbols denote that they're caught up in the EMP blast from the nuke. either way, even if it was technically a miss, it's not like you need to be completely accurate vOv

Anyone put time in on a Steam Controller? What's your thoughts? I'm happy enough with the 360 pad I have here, but I'm intrigued by the replacing of a stick by the touchpad.

its basically the perfect controller for playing fallout 3 on your couch or anything that is slow and doesnt require a lot of accuracy. its a bad replacement for a gamepad because emulating a stick on the right pad is awful due to no recentering. i play fo3 by having the pad in "mouse joystick" mode plus continue motion if im touching the edge of the pad. its not very smooth but keeps the button prompts accurate

don't try to play an fast fps with the steam controller. yo ucan set it up to use the gyroscope for aiming like splatoon uses the wii u pad (super cool) but pc-based fps games are so much faster you will get destroyed

the haptic feedback is fully sick. the triggers are good, they have feedback and a detent at the end of the pull like the gamecube controller. its actually really good for browsing the web, one pad for scrolling one for pointing. the pads are hard plastic, easy to move your thumbs over and very accurate. buttons are a little oddly placed but easy to get used to.

its currently not a great solution to the problem it was designed to solve. the config options are incredibly deep but they kind of have to be because nothing was designed with this sort of controller in mind so you or someone on steam is just half-asssedly emulating a different controller. a game designed around it would be really really cool but until then youre spending $50 on a kind of neat toy

I feel like FO4 is completely lacking in interesting characters. FONV was chock full of them and at least 3 had the tree guy and ThreeDog and Moira and some others. FO4 feels like they mostly built a good sandbox but then didn't flesh out the inhabitants at all

like, why the gently caress aren't there quests for half of the companions? what's up with that radio tower with the show host you can't do anything with? why are there no quests about the mayor of diamond city? why bother making gunners and children of the atom a thing if they're no different than raiders? why can't I do anything with the Atom Cats??

while this would be nice, the lack of interaction between acc and bak is one of the limitations that helps make the game harder

if you really need it, you can always mov acc to another node, swp, then read from that node again

in just cause 3, the last collectible boat is located on one of the inland lakes with no garages at the site. you also can't tether to airlift it out via heli, nor drag it into the back of another vehicle

so i spent half an hour last night standing on it, using tethers to drag it 2km along the road to get to the nearest garage.




i don't know why =(

this is very reminiscent of early closed betas in korea for archeage, when small boat grappling hooks could be effectively used to climb almost any object in the game, as long as you could be arsed to spend enough time to hapoon-drag yourself to somewhere
