    Fallout 3 is a hell of a game!

    Goddamn I can't wait for the Wii U version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution

    Square-Enix said it'll be at their conference, hopefully they'll have a release date and price

    If it fixes the health and the way mods recharge( you have three batteries? Fuck you. You only recharge one)

    I'm not sure about health but it lets you recharge two automatically now instead of one

    Also there's a New Game+, which makes me ecstatic

    That's something that Deus Ex and, while we're discussing them, the Fallout games needed

    I wonder if we'll hear anything about Fortnight, or that Command and Conquer game EA was working on?

    GG have you played xcom? I'm having fun with that so far. That is sci fi ish.

    There are aliens and junk.

    I enjoyed New Vegas quite a bit, but the way the environments were segmented drove me up the goddamn wall

    Having the titular city broken up into such tiny chunks, with every single building another loading screen away, was unfrigginbearable.

    The problem was game-wide, but New Vegas itself was the most egregious.

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    Yeah. Fallout 3's greatest strength was how you could at random pick a direction, any direction, and walk to find something cool/interesting within 10 minutes. Without question.

    New Vegas has a better story structure and writing but isn't nearly as fun to just meander about trying to find cool stuff.

    If GG hasn't played XCOM, he should totally play XCOM. Everyone should play XCOM.

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    XCOM is pretty solid but if gameplay is his last concern it probably isn't what he's looking for? XCOM's conceit is effective at getting you drawn into the world and blowing up aliens, but that's what it is, a conceit for gameplay to exist, rather than a fleshed out story/game world. And it doesn't need to be anything more than it is, but might not be what GG is looking for?

  • DarricDarric Santa MonicaRegistered User regular
    But the alternative is not playing XCOM ...

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    shrug

    I had a lot of fun with XCOM no question. but if that sort of game isn't what you're feeling, then it's perfectly missable.

    I also could not get into New Vegas despite loving Fallout 3

    Well yeah as stuff like "oh heh our skyrim team is now integrating with the existing team for NEXT BIG THING gee I wonder what that is"

    but has there been anything which couldn't really be anything but fallout 4 stuff?

    Yes, they've teased Boston. And the guy who voiced three dog teased it a while back as well.

    I'm slowly trying to pick my way through New Vegas, and I'm having all yhe same problems you guys have listed, with the addition of not being able to find my way around Vegas itself very well. I'm almost certain I haven't even seen the strip itself yet.

  • PaperLuigi44PaperLuigi44 My amazement is at maximum capacity. Registered User regular
    There are rumours that the Driver: San Fransisco developers will reveal a new game called The Crew, my eyes will be glued for any confirmation of that.

    Also it would be remiss not to bring up Meeerder: Soul Suspect, a reveal trailer was recently posted and we're going to learn more at E3.

    The city was pretty bad that way, but nowhere near the "how the fuck do I even get to over there?" of the capital areas of fallout 3.

    What I played of Fallout 3 was frantic and harrowing and I had nearly broken equipment and was constantly on the verge of death

    Which I guess accurately represents a post apocalypse but it wasn't very fun

    With New Vegas I actually stood a chance long enough to make it to the fun stuff

  • Grey GhostGrey Ghost Registered User regular
    Also no thanks on X-COM
    I looked into that when it came out and I just got no interest in it

    Thanks for the help guys but I think for the first time in a while I'll just have to wait for some new stuff to come out

    Sony: Make this the rebuttal to the MS used game/online kerfuffle. Sony's already gone on record multiple times saying an Internet connection won't be required for the PS4, so either they're not doing the whole "no used game" or they've found an inventive way around it. Like perhaps finding a way to physically link a disc to a console and then having to have an Internet connection to play a used disc. Maybe this worry is for nothing - maybe they really are going to be knights in shining armor here and just come out and say "USED GAMES FOR EVERYBODY! NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED FOR ANY SORT OF AUTHENTICATION!" If that's the case, the ball is in your court so fucking sell it. There's never been a better time and an easier way to be the good guy to the consumer.

    Er, hasn't basically everyone said used games were good to go for another generation at this point?

    If anyone thinks the PS4 isn't going to have DRM they are kidding themselves. I think the most likely scenario is that there will be some sort of online check system in place, but it will be up to the publishers if they want to use it.

    That way Sony can still say it isn't "required" while also shifting the blame on to the publishers if people get upset. Meanwhile the publishers are kept happy by being able to profit off the used game market in some way.

    This would still be a better way of doing it, I think. Who would really enforce it, outside of EA?

    Project Ten Dollar was their initiative and they're the only ones that stuck to it. Activision, the biggest publisher around, didn't even embrace it for Call of Duty. WB tried it but dropped it by the time Injustice hit. It's not something I could realistically see most publishers doing and taking that bad PR hit. Other than EA, who apparently lives for bad PR.

    A new Metro game came out. It is supposed to have great atmosphere.

    I agree that its probably the best compromise. I only ever saw EA or Activision doing it, as they are big enough to eat the bad press. They may even restrict it to specific series to keep the bad PR/profits ratio at some peak value.

    Project Ten Dollar was their initiative and they're the only ones that stuck to it.

    They essentially abandoned it after like two years; ME3 had $10 day one DLC that only came "free" with the game if you bought the collector's edition that coincidentally cost $10 more than the standard edition.

    I love the Fallout series, I'm hesitant to say 3 is my favorite over New Vegas. There was just something about it that really grabbed me and made an unforgettable first experience. Could've done without all the subway tunnels, though. So many subway tunnels.

    yeah Fallout 3 was set in a more interesting environment than NV, even if NV had better written stories

    I believe Sony got out ahead of things a while ago when asked about having an always online DRM setup and said something to the effect of "No, why the fuck would we do that?"

    I kind of wish you could have had a village/fort thing to actually build and micromanage a bit in the Bethesda Fallout games, a bit like that reward tier thing from Project Infinity

    There were a few mods that did that but they were mostly mediocre

    I loved Fallout 3, and I still think it has the better atmosphere, but I honestly can't go back to it after New Vegas. The gameplay, and characters are just so much better than Fallout 3's.

  • PaperLuigi44PaperLuigi44 My amazement is at maximum capacity. Registered User regular
    I preferred the songs on the radio in Fallout 3, but man the instrumental stuff in NV is really good. 3 still gets a pass from me because of how harrowing survival was at first - I still remember how scared out of my wits I was going through a booby-trapped tunnel.

  • -SPI--SPI- Osaka, JapanRegistered User regular
    Fallout 3 had Butcher Pete and Civilization, New Vegas had Big Iron and Jingle Jangle Jingle. I feel like they're about equal.

    new vegas brought in all the music from fallout 1/2 so it wins
