If you enjoyed the mechanics and updated gunplay of 4 then you'll enjoy 76. I've played it strictly as a solo game and haven't been bothered with the multiplayer aspect at all.

Roman posted:NV had a great story and characters that spoiled me for other games including Fallout 3, but 3 had much more satisfying random exploration combined with a better loot grind. (Referring to Vanilla FNV before the DLCs). There's a reason that the A World of Pain mod for FNV was very popular. People always say this and I have no idea how they can think this. Fallout 3 had the worst open world I've ever played in, every location was garbage with terrible scaled loot and enemies and every town was nothing but garbage writing. NV every location was neat, the map was varied and could be landmark navigated, enemy variety was higher, gear was far more rewarding and every town had great writing.

I didn't like my first 4 hours or so with FNV because of the Chief Hanlon quest. The payoff of that quest was great, but BEFORE that it was walking to 3 different boring places and not even encountering any enemies along the way except for a few giant mantises. Everything else was going into barren buildings and not finding any good loot or many enemies. I was used to Fallout 3 which throws a whole bunch of poo poo at you the moment you walk out of the vault, while FNV takes longer to get its hooks in. Basically I didn't like FNV at first because it wasn't Fallout 3, and then I loved FNV because it wasn't Fallout 3

NV was terrible in this regard and had an awful and boring world. You played it for characters and story, nothing else. I liked Fallout 3 simply because it was more atmospheric to delve into a dead subway and fight raiders who had set up camp in some hole somewhere. It got repetitive but it was great the first time around imo

I have a sneaking suspicion that nobody actually played AWOP. They just kept putting it on mod lists because it was the only quest mod worth a poo poo, aside from the Bounties which also sucked but everyone kept downloading for some reason..Collapsing Farts posted:NV was terrible in this regard and had an awful and boring world. You played it for characters and story, nothing else. I could not possibly disagree more. And the fact that you think Fallout 3 somehow has a leg up is just confusing as gently caress. When did everyone start remembering Fallout 3 fondly? In New Vegas, every named area has a piece of unique loot to be found in it. There are tons of areas that are unconnected to the main story.

I usually just play solo but once and a while there will be some cool interactions with other players. Last night I was digging through some building looking for garbage and an event started. Kill three waves of those Chinese propeller drones. Got to the second wave before breaking every weapon I had. Used an unarmed bobblehead and was about to go down swinging until 2 guys with working weapons showed up and we barely lived through it. Actually used a stimpack on some guy I'll never see again and it felt good. Probably will make a new char since I picked a lot of skills that aren't that great. Got lvl 2 in lead belly and while its great that eating and drinking barely moves the rad meter, but I have so many radaways on hand now that it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

i have not had a lot of fun playing with or without friends. i've had some fun, but more not fun than fun. Fun: - questing - barbed wire bats being more powerful than shotguns - base building Not fun: - load times - event time/event rewards - stupid holo tape quest stuff - requiring each team member to activate the terminal to do a thing to progress to the next part of a quest - barbed wire bats being more powerful than shotguns - paying to fast travel, yes i am aware of CAMPing - everything to do with pvp and the damage reduction and potential nuisance interactions

I liked the way New Vegas's map was laid out but it did have some deficiencies that you can't discount. Gamebryo is loving awful with draw distances and the Mojave has a lot of flat desert terrain so it sticks out like a sore thumb. It wasn't much better in fallout 3 but there were more hills to hide distant terrain, something which Bethesda only improved on with Skyrim and all the different elevations on that map to hide the lovely distant lod models.FlimFlam Imam posted:The Republic of Dave, the old wise tree, cave of children, NV locations outside of the story were garbage in comparison.

To be fair, FISTO is an aftermarket sex bot cooked up by some guy running a flea market. Also Wild Wasteland let you have the best of both worlds with things like Hell's Grannies after you get your sexbot oiled up and ready.

After playing it a few hours last night: It’s a full game of the part of Fallout 4 where you’d go into a ruined town, get rushed by a group of ghouls, and scrounge around for guns and anything and everything that might let you upgrade those guns. Which was the part I liked, so I’m having fun, minus the parts where the game engine shits itself and everything looks like I’m looking at it through intensely smudged up glasses.
