All the other Fallout stuff


Recommended Posts

The What Makes You SPECIAL series is fucking king sized.

 

 

Ah, Fallout 3.  The only game that surrounded you with interesting and intriguing potential love interests like Amata, Sydney and Bittercup and NEVER saddled you with some dumb mandatory girlfriend sub-plot. 

 

I understand why Bethesda left a lot of adult situations out of the game but those things fell within the ridiculous context of the game.  IIRC you could become a porn star in F2.

I'm seriously considering pulling a Cartman and getting my own Butters to help me freeze me until next Tuesday or whenever my copy arrives. I CAN'TZ TAKES IT!

 

Watching that trailer channeled my inner D-Von Dudley, all quivering and stuff. There's so much to like: the factions, the makings of an actual good story, the super mutants invading your base (that big one looked gnarly!), synthetic life (I'm sure there will be dozens of Blade Runner references), vibrant looking towns, diversity of outdoor aesthetics instead of everything being green (SPOOKY TREEHOUSE!), taking down airships and helicopter-deals. Good GOD!

Playing New Vegas, there isn't any game that has brought terror to me faster then trying to do a "Don't Die Once" playthrough, and running into a Cazador at level 7. Fucking Murder Bugs.

 

Glowing Ones in F3 always took great pains to try to fuck up my zero death run.   For some reason I always had good luck when it came to killing Deathclaws before they killed me.

Is there a better moment in all of gaming than killing a Deathclaw seconds before it disembowels you?  Those are right up there with Big Daddys in Bioshock as enemies you don't know whether you should run for your life or stand and fight.

Funny thing is I actually thought Deathclaws in FO3 were too weak. In the base game there was no enemy that could stand before a well build character at level 20 and survive. Then they put in broken steel and added in the cheap as all fuck Albino Radscorps, Super Mutant Whatevers, and those fucking god damned Feral Ghoul Reavers. Fuck Feral Ghoul Reavers.

Yeah, Deathclaws were terrifying when you first encounter them, but you get too strong for them pretty fast.  Hopefully, enemies level up with you longer in Fallout 4.

Has there recently been a video game character in an action/adventure type game in which you just cannot kill, regardless of your level? Something so powerful that you HAVE to run away from it? There ought to be some sort of super deathclaw that is more or less a tank and is nigh impossible to kill.

Enemies don't level up with you. There is a general range for areas.

I may have posted this somewhere in the thread, but I'm too lazy to go back and dig for it.

 

But is it strange that I'm looking forward to the soundtrack for this game almost as much as the game itself?

 

No, it is not strange.  I would always chill at my safehouse listening to the old radio frequencies.  I loved the Herbert Daring Dashwood and Argyle radio serial.

I mark out whenever I hear Big Iron while playing New Vegas.

 

He's an outlaw loose and running came the whisper from each lip

And he's here to do some business with the big iron on his hip

Really dug the music choices in 3 & NV The only reason I turned my radio off in NV was due to glitching. I know the music of 3 is making return in 4. I'm curious if we get NV's soundtrack as well.

 

I usually keep the music off as well for that same reason.

It's just going to be way too easy after the early game to invest in shit like percentile resistances, damage/critical boosts or that x3 experience boost shit.

 

The experience boosting perks in Fallout have always been a noob trap, and they will continue to be so. At least in the classic games the math on taking them never really adds up to being a worthwhile bonus to make up for the fact you just wasted a perk taking a perk that gets you other perks faster.

RANDOM XP BONUS. Dum Dum Dugginz winz.

 

One day I will play Fallout 2. Much like getting through the first Metal Gear on NES a while back, playing Fallout 1 kind of drained my desire of playing the sequel for a while. Good games the both of them but they're just so slow paced compared to these kids with their new damn fandangled things, their Fogelberg, and their zima.

Fallout 2 is like Fallout 1 but, for me, better in pretty much every way. There's more of it and it's better polished. Like, Fallout 1 strikes me as "a game that was good for the era" where as Fallout 2 strikes me as "I would never blink if someone said this was one of their favourite games".

 

Also:

 

If you play your cards right you get to put a bomb in an outhouse and cover a wild west town in poop.
