Just let it shine through
I’ve never finished NV because the critical path is a giant walk in a square around a boring map and there’s no sprint button. I did finally make it to Vegas my last attempt though.

I am getting ready to do the big mod that links up 3 and NV that introduces a lot of QOL features next time 3 GOTY hits a sale on Steam tho, looks fun.

Finally someone who sees reason. FO has always been wacky and zany and so on but roman cosplaying as such a major part of the game … no, no not at all.

Yes, that is totally different than the goofy mafia town.

It’s funny because I feel the exact opposite. The settlement building and operation is the worst part of fallout 4 for me. It must appeal to people who like Minecraft/ power wash simulator. Post-apocalypse-property-management simulator is not my jam.

Yes, good point. I do love me some scavenging, crafting and farming in games. And I feel Fallout is the perfect game for it.

It just works.

You're fine to dislike NV all you want, but trying to evoke the old Fallout games only really works if you actually played the old Fallout games.

Owning a PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series and using all of them often... yes and no. At one hand you get two separate entries in PS when you buy a game that gives you both versions) but you only see one in your library. If you want to install, you get to a screen that let you choose which one you want. You get none of this in Xbox and that's handy but there are certain games like Elden Ring or Armored Core (you can see where the pattern comes FROM :haw:) where PS4 versions give the best performance on PS5 compared to Series X|S.

I own the GOTY version (digital) on PS4 and I upgraded to PS5 for free, I do not have PS+ active at all, installing my physical copy of the GOTY gives the PS5 version for free too so I don't know what are you trying to say?. PS+ players had the base game so it makes sense? Same as Game Pass giving you games without the DLC

I only had the base FO4 game (bought digitally) and the free upgrade also gave me all the DLC for whatever reason.

That's great

Btw, why don't they put the DLCs for Bethesda games on sale at all? (10% off because of active Game Pass isn't what I call, sale). I never see a proper discount on let's say Shivering Isles or FO3 DLCs?

There’s 4 NV dlc and they’re a single big 4 part sequential campaign even though they play fine by themselves

I believe the order is,
The one with the sierra madre casino
Honest hearts
Old world blues
Lonesome road

E, main dlc i should say. There’s one or two smaller ones that add guns or something unnecessary

On Playstation it's a separate title to claim and download. How does it work on Xbox? I have the game updating on my XSX. Is that's all that's needed? I have seen some games that do let you pick between the Xbox One version and the S/X versions, but I don't see that option here so I figure I'm good to go once it finishes updating.

Should be all you need unless the console yells at you because you had the game installed to external USB (since post-update it needs to be on fast storage) or don't have enough space for the Series X version, which might be larger but I haven't checked.

Anyway if you have a "Performance Mode" setting under Options you have the Series build.
