I heard a .45-70 can kill a guy in power armor. Is this true?It'll knock down even a ranger, sure, but power armor? I don't see it.
Fallout NV is based
>>65202574depends on which type obviously and where youre aiming. also youre a retard if you aren't using SWC
some steel brotherhood asshole made a mistake by messing with mehad my laser rifle on me, and he said "hand that over!", so i shot him with my 11mm machine gun and shot him in the eyeslit of his helmetBAM! D.O.A.
>>65202618With the TV show coving NV there have been rumors of a remaster, if that happens I'll have to give Todd money for the first time in 15 years.
>>65202574Don't even try it against X-01
>>65202775never heard of that, but i have heard of Mark II & Mark III though
>>65202775Only slack jawed east coast faggots call APA 'x-01'
I will build one someday
>>65202765same. i don't have my hopes up, but same.
>>65202765>>65202878Why would you want that?
>>65202886i liked the oblivion remake even if it was jank as fuck. it was pretty and nice to return to something from my younger days. i did stop playing oblivion when i couldn't sneak that stupid bitches ring onto her person or some shit holy FUCK that game was janky.
>>65202909>i liked the oblivion remake even if it was jank as fuckWhy?
>>65202886because fnv was dated and ugly when it came out and has dogshit combat
>>65202940>because fnv was dated and ugly when it came out And so is the remake>and has dogshit combatNo it does not
>>65202618Never finished it. The games where you have to choose a side in the end I always put off the main missions and complete all the sidequests then just get bored. The mechanics were better in New Vegas, but the setpiece missions were a lot better in Fallout 3. By the time they released Tale of Two Wastelands give you ammo crafting and ADS in both, the games were already like a decade old.Same with Fallout 4 (worse than those two) where I did the game up until picking a side and all the dlc, then just never bothered finishing it.
>>65202995>setpiece missions were a lot better in Fallout 3What the fuck would possess a human being to type this
>>65203002Tenpenny Tower, Megaton, Rivet City, that big suicidal tree. What did New Vegas have? Powder ganger prison? The strip? The dam? Meh, not even a comparison.
>>65203010I know you're doing a bit for a laugh but some people actually think like that
>>65202917>it was pretty and nice to return to something from my youngers daysyou fucking retard
>>65203015The game didn't go anywhere
>>65203013Yes. They're me. I don't case what the gay internet consensus is, you were wrong 10 years ago and you're wrong now. It's like agreeing with /v/, /tv, or /co/, just take whatever they say and do the opposite because they're a bunch of tasteless retards every time all the time.
>>65202886fnv basically doesn't run on my modern PC, and i'm not into modding at allit'd be way easier for me to just play a version built to actually work, instead of spending hours trying to make it work (but still end up with constant crashing)
>>65203021it went somewhere for me, retard
>>65202765I would love that. If only for the reason that I can keep playing new Vegas and NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE THE EXISTENCE OF THAT SHOW AGAIN.
5mm, am i insane or aint that in the old lore stated to be/implied to be 204 ruger?
>>65203276its just the in-lore version of .223/5.56 from fallout 1 & 2, but since 3 added 5.56, they kept it as a separate cartridge for balancing reasons its more comparable to .222 Remington as a result
>>65203013>>65203002You're retarded. Trying too hard to be in-group because NV is a /k/ meme. FO3's story and immersion is objectively superior. Also weapons.
>>65203411>FO3's story is objectively superior. Also weapons.And you are trying too hard to be a contrarian.
>>65203411
>>65203411>fo3 immersion objectively superior>no iron sightsk
>>65203310Fallout 1 and 2 had .223 as a separate cartridge from 5mm. My head canon was always that 5mm was 5.45x39, as one of the two weapons that shoot it in fallout 1 is an Avtomat Kalashnikov 112.
>>65203411Based. Bet these kids didn't even play them when they released. Fallout New Vegas is a (good) expansion pack.
>>65203520I did played FO3 when it was released and liked it. I just like NV more and think it's a better FO game.
>>65203543same. i always thought fo3 was a good proof of concept and NV was just outright better in every metric.
>>65203543It was Oblivion with guns, it was groundbreaking. You can't discount the experience of being first. By the time New Vegas came out it was old hat. Like I said, still an excellent content pack. If you're still playing it two decades later, Tale of Two Wastelands includes both with all guns and adds ADS to FO3, so it's completely moot.
>>65203543>>65203545same boat here tooi don't hate fo3, but i don't think its anywhere near as good as NV
>>65203411Just because New Vegas gets mindless praise from obnoxious bandwagoners doesn't mean that it also doesn't unilaterally beat the brakes off of 3 across the board or that FO3 isn't soft and brown once the nostalgia goggles are removed.>>65202574>It'll knock down even a ranger, sure, but power armor? I don't see it.I wouldn't say that it would kill him, assuming you took the easy shot and landed one on his chest, but you'll certainly have his full attention. Even more so if you have the luxury of taking a shot somewhere with less armor, like the knees.
Fallout, like so many other nostalgia bait series, has been turned completely gay. Fuck it, fuck todd howard, and fuck every single last one of your mothers.
ditch the -70 at the end sonny and put an acp there picked me up one from one of those mormon missionaries and I bet it'll obliterate the Legates soul just as much as his body
>>65203411>>65203520the Fo3 jeets are everywhere
>>65203896Young'n, your picture is from the DLC a year after it was released.
>>65203901uh, yeah man, the DLCs typically come out later. Whats your point
>>65203276>>65203500I always pictured 5mm as something like 5.56x30 MARS or it's predecessor, .221 rem fireball/IMP
>>65203918
>>65203607there hasn't been a good Bethesda Game Studios game since Oblivion and even that game is a mess
>>65203920I see we’re going full retarded contrarian today.
>>65203310>>65203918>>65203919makes sense still kinda want a small retro ar in 204 now
>>65203909If you weren't there, then you wouldn't understand.
>>65203919Also, fallout needs either an arm pistol or a SCAMP clone.And just more cold war prototype gun influence in general
>>65203944
>>65203944wont happen fallout has been ruined by normies women and fags we have to make our own retro post apocalyptic game with black jack hookers day one and m1 carbines converted to 5.7 spitfire getting adopted as military standard while the reds adopted all of korobovs non nuclidian small arms
>>65203958Sad but true
>>65203442Is there an image with Fallout 1 vs Fallout 2?
>>65202574Recently went and played Fallout 3 again and am in the midst of New Vegas. 3 is not a bad game but it lacks the soul and replayability of New Vegas. 4 is absolutely trash.
>>65204076there is, but i don't have it on me since i'm a 3d only pleb (who never choked past wandering 1's map without finding a town and dying after a bit)
>>65203925yeah man Skyrim really had great writing
>>65203941understand what exactly, that Honest Hearts is New Vegas DLC
>>65204143That you're from a generation where new shit doesn't come out every year. Something a year old already that's already an expansion pack from three years ago might as well have been a console generation ago at the time.When you just see both of them GOTY edition on the Steam storefront, there's no hype and the game's already been aped on with 20 knockoffs. You can't put a price on being able to do something for the first time ever.
>>65204146
>>65204159Yeh. Still, you weren't there maan.
>>65204091>4 is absolutely trash.the only way it is palatable for replays is with heavy modding. 3 and nv don't really need the mods for me to replay them.
>>65202808Im halfway there myself. After this and some other projects, im looking at building a survivalist's rifle and paciencia, the mexican hunting rifle from GRA.
>>65202765I'd love this just as much as you would, but it's not going to happen. Maybe they could have done it ten years ago, but it's impossible at this point. Too much of the industry is gone.>obsidian never gave bethesda the source code for nv>bethesda's present stable of jeets can't even maintain their own shit anymore, a la fo76, where every update breaks everything>the only people that had a good understanding of gamebryo are dead, retired, or retired and soon to be dead>yfw your favorite vidya has literally become lost technology in your lifetimeWelcome to the worst timeline. Strap in. It's not going to get better any time soon.
>>65203500It's never actually confirmed what the AK stands for. The beta called it the Colt Rifle.
>>65202765>mfw hordes of goy cattle unironically claim the show was actually good and canon
>>65203520Anon I played Doom on release.FO:3 was unironically Morrowind with guns, not technically impressive but something new and pretty good.FO:NV took FO3 and made it better in every way.
>>65202574maybe with some special handloads and aimed at the eye slits at point blank
.308 is enough. PA isn't actually that tough.
Just play tale of two wastelands and play fallout 3 on the superior upgraded new vegas engine and you can go back and play new vegas at any time by taking the train
>>65204369>Morrowind with gunsIt was Oblivion with guns you blithering retard. It has almost nothing at all in common with Morrowind.
>>65204369Fuck off, retard.
>>65204146what in the fuck are you on about and what does this have to do with Fo3 being the worse game
>>65204640Fo3 is graphically even worse than Oblivion and the VATS thing was kind of reminiscent of Morrowinds dogshit combat
>>65202574Handloading semi-wadcutter loads dramatically improves performance with .44 Magnum and .45-70 Gov't, and should help to do damage against at least T-45D Power Armor, and more importantly it helps the .44 Magnum revolvers continue to feel mighty and badass as you go.JFP loads of .357 Magnum also helps that caliber, but mostly early on in the game, .357 sadly becomes rather insignificant against anything but trashmobs as you get further, with exception for the K9000 Machinegun in Old World Blues, which can make up for it some by sheer volume of fire.Mind that Damage Tolerance in FONV is capped at absorbing 'only' as much as 80% of an attack's damage, meaning you can still wear down armored enemies with enough volume, even if their armor or hide is cockblocking your bullets or zaps.>>65202653Hand Loader is really a mandatory perk for any character that plans on using firearms to any serious degree. Aside from retaining more of your spent cases for recycling, loading better types of ammo and repurposing ammo types you don't use for better kinds is such an incredible advantage and convenience that it cannot be understated.>>65202765I have thought about it, and there'd be some appeal (porting it to new consoles would probably see it as a big sales success, assuming they properly patch it up some), but a far greater gift to the community would be to just give the fans the source code for Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and then release a bunch of unused and cut development content.Of course, such a thing is very unlikely to happen, but one can dream.
>>65202940Combat is largely fine.>>65202995FO3 didn't have that much more for setpieces than NV did.Joining the NCR grunts in sieging the NCR Correctional Facility, complete with breaching the fences with bombs, then gunning down the Powder Gangers in droves (while I blast Blitzkrieg in the background, the original, not the Metallica cover), is as good as helping Desmond Lockhart fight off swarms and swarms of delusional tribals attacking his mansion in Point Lookout.>>65203010It ain't without them, but nuking Megaton isn't all that special after the first time.>>65203411As someone who played both on launch, absolutely not. FO3 isn't a bad game, but most of its story and characters range from mediocre to abysmal, and while FONV doesn't have bombproof characters and story either, it's still a lot better written most of the time.FONV also has much stronger gameplay on average, though FO3 is owed credit for letting FONV stand on its shoulders. For a lot of the Bethesda jank it inherits, it also inherits much of what made it good and fun.The things that I find I miss in FONV from FO3 is the deep urban ruin combat and exploration from downtown D.C and Pittsburgh, the mutant giants, along with the assault rifles, Chinese swords and pistols, much more authorative boom from the .44 Magnum (but not its mandatory scope), more variety in powee armor, and a lot of stuff like that.There was a lot of cool shit left in FO3 which was never carried over to FONV, and I think that The Pitt and Point Lookout are just damn fun adventures in their own right, but FONV has just way better roleplaying, combat, variety (mostly), and story.
>>65203436The main quest in FO3 is probably the weakest part of the game for the most part. There's a few highlights, and also some worthwhile ones in Broken Steel so as to make it worth to suffer through the base game's, but it's all the side stuff in FO3 which is the fun parts.>>65203442In FO3's defense, the East Coast BoS being distinct from the original, and then the original ones being described that way, is consistent with how out of touch and bullheaded the Mojave chapter is. Veronica is 100% right about them, they have no future at all on their current path, their original goals have simply completely failed (and still would have if Elijah hadn't gone insane) and they are only marching towards their demise at their current rate.I also wouldn't say that FO3 is entirely void of atmosphere, it has that part in a lot of places. But yes, it has weak worldbuilding, and overall the picture is largely right in its comparisons.
God, the China Lake is so fun, I just ambushed a squad of Legionaires napping at a camp with 4 rapidly placed 40mm incendiaries.
>>65204875This is an objectively bad take.
>>65205072i always want to do a big gun explosives run but always end up restarting to be a cowboy again. yeehaw.
>>65205081NV just has droves of great cowboy guns, I love the Ruger (?) .357 revolvers, I love all the lever action guns.This run, I decided to do some things more different than usual, and I opted to go south from Goodsprings for a bit, to get some useful supplies and some levels, but then I went back north. First the Tribal Camp, there's a den of Cazafuckers there, and while they may be able to ignore landmines (I think), they don't ACTUALLY fly, so with a Varmint Rifle fitted with a scope, and a pile of .223, you can pick off the lot of them from atop the cliff and they can't do much. I've done that before, and gotten that sweet Fire Axe, but I would rarely ever go further.This time, I decide to get a look at Bonnie Springs, and see if I could take on the armored bandits there. Boy, that wasn't easy, died first try, but with some luck and dynamite, I emerged victorious. My prize? A nice old Marlin lever-action rifle in .44 Magnum, god, such a beautiful sight at a single digit level, 8 fast 240gr from the shoulder was long my big bad gun (I rarely ever used it before because I usually pissed off the Legion at Nipton, and could soon score a .45-70 Brush Gun with the money their hit squads provide, but this time I couldn't afford such expensive ammo, yet).So I make it to the Great Khans, buddy with them, and carefully sneak through Fiend Territory to get to the Gun Runners and Vegas Clinic. With the money I made from that sweet Fire Axe, I could buy some nice .44 ammo to put to use, and buy myself a Luck Implant. Then I go get the Lucky at the Steve Bison Hotel.I could keep going and going, but man, such a fun game, so much opportunity for mini-Münchkining (and overt Münchkining).
>create female Courier this time>how about a semi-amoral mercenary punk bitch with Black Widow?>play nice with Legion a bit at first to get the Lucky Shades and all, pair with a Bandana which fits that one Raider hairstyle well>hey, the Raider Badlands armor looks pretty cool actually>and she looks nice with the midriff and cutoff shorts>and... the animation cycle for walking has her just swaying her hips back and forth>feels like this outfit calls attention to that more than others>not like overwhelming arousal or anything >but sometimes when overencumbered and forced to walk slowly, it's nice to just sit there and look at her hips and ass going>like it's sending just a subtle little flutter of happiness to the bottom of my stomach>character models and animations are all pretty dated by now, but I just enjoy itAnd that's how I decided that I'd focus on Light Armor for this run, with Travel Light and Toughness. inb4 troon memesThe wasteland commando pinup look paired with the .44 cowboy rifle and crunked out .357 single action makes for a nice visual combo.
>>65205111>>65205150fuck it i'm starting a new run at work on the shitty surface i've got hiding in the back. i'm getting Lucky and ED-E right away and then Rat Slayer and all shall fall at my whim. or i'll find one of those old 'roll your courier' image and try that lol
>>65203455I was gonna say that FONV's 'True' ADS wasn't that great, because with a lot of guns the sights are difficult to see unless you have good lighting.Then I realize that's actually pretty realistic, and it makes the night sights on some guns very welcome and more important, but some of the sights aren't the best modeled (or, they're victim of model and animation limitations, and you get shit like your thumb blocking your sights).I really oughta set this game up on PC some day, so I can do various fixes and modifications to it.>>65203543Same. FO3 is a good enough game that you could easily improve it a lot by backporting a number of FONVs gameplay and character building improvements. Then maybe fill the game world in with a few towns and settlements, etc.Make the 10mm not as weak as .32ACP, make the shotguns have a bit of usable range, add in the DT system. Also making the R91 a proper .308 G3/CETME clone, which could actually shoot straight and had proper sighting, that would do a lot for the game (make it locked to semi-auto, but you could get a full-auto conversion kit). Also weapon modifications in general.>>65205182Glad you're on PC. I dug out my old PS3 copy because my laptop was on the fritz and I thus had an actual excuse to not install it and unfuck it there.I've had a lot of fun still, but man, it's very rough around the edges, my savefile is at 12mb now, and I need to save and restart the game maybe once an hour, or every hour, to clear memory to get framerate back.
was one of these ever made for fo3? or even fo4?
>>65202574I'm such a fucking coomer retard.That's the California bear flag, I thought it was the tummy and bottom half of the breasts of a grill.
>>65205286Fucking kek
>>65205079most people can agree that Oblivion is a more appealing looking game than Fo3. Fo3 is basically rubble texture wrapped over everything.
>>65204175Looking good, anon. You gonna do the survivalist's rifle in .50 beowulf?
Welp, looks like the only way to complete Boone's quest left is to go balls to the wall and assault Caesar's Fort, killing king baldy and Vulpes Inculta, which I had to do sooner or later. I can also rescue Benny while I get there.Kinda wish I had the BAR from Dead Money, because the two of us charging in there with one each, loaded up with AP ammo, would be kino.They'll probably shred me if I headed there with light armor, so I guess this will be the one time that I use my T-51b tinsuit.>>65204175Ooh, nice. I feel like the C7 style upper would be suitable choice for the NCR Service Rifle, though the hardwood furniture always felt a bit excessive.Like it would be cheaper to make the furniture out of laminate wood, like a Kriegsmodel K98k.
>>65205624Does anyone make something like that? I've always liked how the wood looked but can't justify $500 for furniture
>>65205249roll
>>65205636There has been many wood furniture sets for AR15s made, but I don't know if anyone make any now.I have seen people on /k/ and other places recreating their take with an A1-ish rifle with wood furniture, which makes me wonder if anyone has ever made Randall Clarke's rifle, complete with an FSB bent in a vise.Speaking of which, reading his accounts is pretty damn sad and dark, the man rarely ever catches a break, it's mostly just suffering. Something I really like with Fallout is that, when you find old accounts from people who survived after the atom bombs fell, or occasionally a ghoul who was there to see it and retell it, their accounts are always SO fucking grim and bitter, it always hammers in both the catastrophic immediate damage, and how civilized men get pushed into becoming vicious and outright evil savages as there exist no functional society to support people anymore.Hence I also like the little whitepill that is NCR, the Followers, New Vegas itself, and even Caesar's Legion to a smaller extent (and all their assorted flaws), because humanity, after clawing itself out of those pitch black times, builds again, creating new societies and new prosperity from the ashes of the near global nuclear holocaust. It's almost a bit like how mankind survived the Ice Age, and at one point we were estimated to be only like 10000 individuals worldwide during that era, but here we are now, we pulled through and built and built.
>>65205671>and at one point we were estimated to be only like 10000 individuals worldwide during that eragenetic evidence suggests we went down to 1,200 breeding pairs.
Huh, neat, turns out a merchant spawns in Prospector's Den after you kill the Jackals in there, I still learn new things about this game all these years later.Doesn't have too much money, but she has some reasonably good shit on sale, like a Plasma Defender and Tri-Beam Laser Rifle, both (GRA), along with some weapon mods. Fair bit of (GRA) ammo, also.>>65205774Yeah, we were in dire as fuck straits, but we pulled through. Like cockroaches, can't stop us.
>>65202574/k/, quick one…can the BFR in .45 Gov. blow the head clean away?
>>65205249Rollin.
>>65206269Pistol Packin Mama sounds fun.
>>65206198won't be clean, but it'll blow it away
>>65205249It has to be done.
>>65202808>>65204175I just got mine together a couple weeks ago.I went to pick up my lower from the ffl and they had a used hi power clone in the case. It was a nice coincidence.
>>652035005.45mm would be an awkward one, especially considering it's used by some U.S weapons.I could see it being something like 5.7mm MMJ / .22 Spitfire, ergo .30 U.S Carbine necked down to a smaller caliber, that'd fit a bit a little better into the American military part.But not perfectly, Melvin's cartridge was tried out some, and was pretty well liked as an improvement to the M1 and M2 Carbines, working sort of like a budget SCHV combat rifle option. However, at least IRL it never caught on that well, and the military itself had no need for it because they were standardizing on the shiny new 5.56mm cartridge, which does the exact same thing but 30% more powerful, and still being very light and flat shooting, with nill recoil in the accompanying shiny new Armalite.Potentially it's some hypothetical baby-.223, shaving down that 0.56mm and also sizing down the case in length and circumference, as some manner of PDW cartridge.
>>65206500That polished Peacemaker with the stag grips is a thing of beauty. Real stag?
Setting aside the potential issues of 5.56mm in a revolver action (and for that matter the headache of rimless cartridges for an extractor star to interface with), along with the ridiculousness of a barrel length of what seems like 3", That Gun is a pretty nice model.It captures the LAPD Blaster look pretty well, and the reload animation is nice, showing the ejector star properly ejecting the casings and all.What caliber do you think would be better suited or just more fun for a gun of its kind? Hardmode, having to actually fit within the same envelope.
>>65206551>Potentially it's some hypothetical baby-.223, shaving down that 0.56mm and also sizing down the case in length and circumference, as some manner of PDW cartridgeYo >>65203918
>>65206554Yep. Its a ruger old model vaquero that i found with real stags on at a small gun shop. 45 colt and 45 acp.It was my first "fnv" gun. I use the cattleman with swc loads from the handloader perk through the whole game.I actually have a few revolvers with stag on them. You could say I have a type.
>>65203994so many interesting irl designs to pull from, been trying to think of an interesting pistol/smg cart that sounds like itd belong in some alt history retro future universe where 45 didnt get adopted or couldve existed
>>65205624>Kinda wish I had the BAR from Dead Money, You should try Tale of Two Wastelands, by the time Benny shot me in the head, I was level 54, had Ashur’s power armor, a BAR, Thompson, drum magged R-51 with Hbar and more. Makes you feel like the Terminator coming out the grave.
>>65206648Nice, convertible.>>65206569Isn't that just a shorter .223?
>>65206801Oh yeah. My bad. I guess>and also sizing down the case in length and circumferencebounced right off me>>65206756A world where 9mm mauser export won out over 9mm para could be neatAs would Canada actually adopting the NAACO brigadier and .45 NAACO/ winmag
