Honestly I really enjoyed it. It had a different tone than the base game or the other DLCs and I really enjoyed the linearity of it too. The story was really good too. I liked finding out what the courier did there and then talking to Ulysses in the final confrontation. I feel like being able to talk him down using multiple checks is a good showcase of the freedom of the games.
Fanatical (if you are comfortable with going through external resellers for steam Keys) currently has a GOTY bundle with both Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas’s GOTY. I got New Vegas GOTY for a friend and picked up Fallout 3 GOTY for myself somewhere down the line
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.
I just sped through the entirety of Old World Blues today (I’m currently stuck at home). It was a lot of fun. I ended up sparing Ulysses but sacrificed ED-E to stop the bombs (I’m trying to be as morally good as possible for this play through, and though I didn’t side with the legion, idk if the fallout from the bomb would hit innocent people).
I played the first Alan Wake about 2012 when I was still in elementary school. Ever since then it’s been one of my favorite games of all time (Though, if given the choice between it and American Nightmare idk which I would choose). I currently have a save for control and enjoy it a lot, but I can’t find it in me to stick with it past maybe a few sessions lasting a week, so it has been a very slow burn game for me. I also have Quantum Break in my library from a Humble Bundle and I picked up Max Payne with the last Steam Sale, so those are lined up somewhere too.
I’m so excited for Build 42. I’m a bit bummed that Multiplayer won’t be available from the start but I get that they want to focus on the base game before worrying about that avenue
It’s way more fun with friends. I have a lot of fun by myself though trying to survive and see how far I can make it. Somewhere down the line they plan to (re)add NPCs so that should liven things up too
My friend decided that we pulled a Comic Maneuver and this new Cable is a cable from an alternative universe that is taking the place of the old cable that died (despite in our cannon it’s been proven that Cable is capable of respawning. Just for whatever reason this time cable decided he didn’t want to). So he’s still cable, just a different cable
It sucks because I was wanting to spare all 3 and I thought i had it with him. After chasing him backstage I ended up going to check the wiki to see if I missed a tree option but was bummed to find out I hadn’t
Maybe a megathread? I’d be a bit sad to let my daily posts go but if the mods would rather these things get sorted or moved somewhere else I totally get that
