I also liked the Bear Trap Claw for dealing with Ghost People. Everything else is pretty bad though, yeah. Grimthwacker fucked around with this message at 00:18 on May 8, 2024 |

Get a patch that enables the BAR to work with Grunt (as god intended) and it’s noticeably better, at least for what you fight in Dead Money.

I'm not a big fan of the Holorifle, I prefer guns with a high rate of fire. The Silenced .22 Pistol has been amazing as a backup weapon in my Old World Blues playthrough. I'm getting a critical hit 65% of the time, the hollowpoint rounds obliterate Nightstalkers, and with Trigger Discipline I can hit lobotomites at distances where I'd normally use a sniper rifle. The best part is that each bullet weighs 1/130th of a pound, so I started the DLC carrying 1,000 of them.

Arc Hammer posted:After the Microsoft purge yesterday I'm worried for Obsidian. I see people keep saying this, but so far as I can tell, the stuff they've been releasing under Microsoft has been selling well compared to their budgets, so it doesn't seem like there is immediate cause for concern. Obviously, Microsoft can still decide to close the studio whenever they want, but that's something that has been true since 2018.

Also Obsidian have two pretty big titles there working with Avowed and Outer worlds 2. Not massive games of course but MS has been promoting them quite a bit. It's not out of the question MS doing something stupid, but it would be a pretty odd move.

Microsoft is also rumored to be scrambling to find someone, anyone to make Fallout games ASAP, given that FO5 is probably a decade away. Though with Rope Kid being so frank in public lately abt how burnout is more corrosive than crunch, I don’t see him signing on for another FONV-length runway, which a game landing in time for season 3 of the TV show would probably have to commit to.

No offense to Obsidian but most of the people who made NV what it is are gone from there. If they got Fallout again it'd end up Fallout: Outerworlds.

Josh Sawyer is still at Obsidian and Pentiment was great.  Also with Outer Worlds I thought part of the problem was that the gameplay was a bit meh and the writing didn't quite go hard enough to make the most of the corporate dystopian setting, and I seriously doubt those would be a problem in a Fallout title.

Outer Worlds's biggest problems felt like a function of the budget: tiny enemy bestiary, not too many zones and quests, limited selection of weapons and armour, skills and stats not terribly well balanced, that kind of thing. It also got too serious at the end. The slideshow kept trying to reassure me everything was fine. Crack a joke drat it!

To be honest I could really go for a smaller scale Fallout game, or at least one with a shorter story. I like big expansive adventures but I've also only "beaten" beaten New Vegas three times and that's because I got so burnt out that I never did a Legion run. There's so much stuff out there and I'm unfortunately a completionist for RPGs.

There is a lot of room in the Fallout setting for side games that explore different genres, it's just a shame that the history of the existing side games is... well, the less said about that (Except for maybe Fallout Shelter), the better.

now that he's retired, tim cain has a youtube channel now where he does daily little discussion videos. one interesting one he did was about budgets and sales on the games he's worked on and the outer worlds had a bigger budget than line, every single game he's ever worked on in his entire career combined. yet it still felt so totally constrained.

I'm pretty sure The Outer Worlds did not have a bigger budget than Wildstar and possibly South Park. That said, it's not surprising that an Unreal Engine 4 double-A game would have a higher budget than isometric RPGs produced in the late 90s and early 2000s and Bloodlines, the famously unfinished first-person RPG made in the mid-2000s on Source that had to put some of its writers on voice acting duties for minor roles.

Think about 2 weeks(?) ago now todd said in an interview it's finished and just in QA at the moment, so if they were gonna just outright cancel it don't think he would've bothered mentioning the QA stuff rather than just giving the normal non-committal "it's being worked on" about it. Still no idea why it's taken so long.

While the game is obviously far from perfect, I had a much better time with TOW when I started treating it as a new RPG from Tim Cain and Leonard Boyarsky (and a completely new team at Obsidian) rather than New Vegas 2.

It turns out you should probably not rush straight to vault 34. Made it out on literally my last radaway with like 980 rads and around 50 bullets left.
