i’m excited for Build 42. Having animals will be really nice for making the world feel fuller. Sometimes, at least in my opinion, it’s painfully obvious when it’s just you, a few other players, and the zombies
“Oh hey, I added a button that makes the sword turn red!” “Why is the player teleporting to [0,0] when the sword turns red?” “Okay, I fixed the teleporting bug, but now the sword is blue”
It has a video cutscene that’s similar, But it is very disappointing and bare compared to New Vegas. You get either 1 of 3 video cutscenes depending on if you sided with the institute or someone else (and the players gender), then next 3 are always the same, then the final one changes based on your gender. Really simple. We don’t get any sort of cutscene telling us what happened after to companions, or summarizing quests. It’s really disappointing, at least to me.
Love it! The level designs are so cool in Lonesome Road, and I agree that the final battle felt very cinematic in a way that a lot of other New Vegas fights don’t.
People love or hate Ulysses but I enjoy him as a character. I think the story as it ties through all the DLCs is very cool and the climactic, desolate journey through LR to cap it off was great for me.
I was planning on picking up Lily but I can’t remember how to get her as a companion.
I think all you need to do is finish the sidequest for the doctor in Jacobstown.
I also thought the elevator ride with the tunnelers was a fun change of pace too. It felt like a fun gauntlet and the explosions only made it more cinematic.
I loved how everything connected together in the DLCs and you can draw a path of where Ulysses had been (like his own road) and see who he affected
I’ve been playing through Fallout New Vegas for the first time. Got it modded to look modern too so that’s been a really nice touch. New Vegas Reloaded is a bitch to get running but so worth it.
Fallout 3 was my very first Fallout and played it way back when it came out, then proceeded to skip new Vegas and played thru 4 back when that one released.
All this time I was time I was like damn, 3 is my favorite only because of nostalgia and actually ran a quick play thru back in April when all the Fallout hype started because of the TV show.
But I also bought New Vegas finally during this hype and am almost done with my first playthrough and wow I get why it’s considered the best Fallout game.
The RPG elements are perfection, the stories are so interesting and gameplay is challenging but fair. I’m so glad I can now understand all the hype behind this game.
4 was my first fallout. Got it passed down from a family member for the PS4, and played through the entire thing. Had maybe over 200 hours in it. Then I got a hand me down PS3 from the same family member with a copy of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. I’m disappointed though to say it took a few more years for it to stick to me as younger me was very stingy about the games he would play.
I think New Vegas being made by the remains of Black Isle allowed it to pick up some cool ideas and also grow the old ideas involving the west coast lore, while carrying what Bethesda constructed from scratch with 3, at least that’s my personal opinion.
Those symbols on those shirts are an equivalent to a swastika, maybe dont share these, or recommend this game (sounds like a shitfest), or admit you’re okay with your friends being nazis even in a game, sheesh
Those symbols on those shirts are an equivalent to a swastika
That’s… the point. This particular branch of the game led to everyone (except you) becoming a Nazi. All because you tolerated racist diatribe from your supposed “best friend.” It’s a tongue-in-cheek look at what could happen if you tolerate racists in your life. And it doesn’t end well for the racists.
Perhaps you should play the game before you jump to conclusions on its content. Yes, it’s a dark game, but it definitely doesn’t show any love for Nazis.
I mean, I get most of your points. I was also young with my older brother playing it. I just assumed everyone knew about the old Konami code, but I got it from my older brother so idk.
I just know 3 hits and game over is a hard for Contra. We always used the code to get 30 lives. Much props to you for beating the game without it.
Idk, I have a vivid memory of playing the game, I remember all the weapons and stages, but I don’t remember having ever input the Konami code, although I do know of it nowadays obviously.
Perhaps my older brother knew it? I don’t know. 30 lives seems like it would just never end, basically.
My main point was rather that the article said it was harder as a co-op? I think it was easier, maybe.
I don’t know man, it’s been more than a quarter of a century. All I remember is having had fun. I think that’s the main point.
Right? I agree. My little 7 year old brain was so interested in the story going on with each level. It slowly progresses from find a secret military base behind a waterfall, to by the way aliens are everywhere and controlling everything. Actually, you have to go in one and shoot it from the inside.
Same here, though I also beat Ghosts n Goblins. Honestly once you can reliably beat the first couple of stages, you can probably get through the whole game.
Nice links! Ive played a good deal on the impossible list, i even 100% beat jet force gemini. Iirc the “true” ending pissed me off. Don’t remember why but i felt let down for all the work i did to get it
Glad to see Castlevania on that list, that game was brutal on little me as a little kid.
But let’s get real, there is a long tradition of brutally hard games, and people be bullshitting if they say they beat some of these games without save states 🤣
Let’s also talk about arcade games that are brutal even with unlimited coins - R-Type, Pulstar, ghouls and ghosts, just to name a few. But these are all beatable.
A NES game that I thought was exceptionally hard without save states (looking at you doungen with no lights and hard enemies) is NES Zelda romhack Outlands
I completed TMNT as a kid… on Commodore 64. That version is admittedly a little bit easier than the NES version (some mechanics were missing, and an entire level is gone, as I recall). Still, I have no idea why people complain about the second level (river), it’s actually pretty fun. Compared to what’s to come later in the game.
To me, the definitive “hard” game is Metroid Prime 2: Echoes on GameCube. Dark Souls just makes me say “eeeeeehhhh this is probably doable, I’ll play this after I’m done with MP2E.”
(When I first played MP2E, I only got through the second to last boss. Then my MadCatz memory card died. Played through the game again, with the fury of million suns. 99% complete. Because I missed one optional scan. …One of these days I replay this bastard.)
Elden is fair if you grind, explore and prepare for the enemies. Other games are basically “rhythm games” in disguise, you have to memorize the exact series of moves, in the exact order, with the right timing.
Didn’t play DS yet honestly, but if you can use the terrain, change builds and choose between close combat or ranger/magic weapon, then you have enough elasticity.
