How do I learn to enjoy fallout new Vegas again? I played it so much on release. And in the years since. That whenever I get the urge to play I just ruin it for myself. I turn the game into a chore where I'm doing a checklist. I always get sucked into doing stuff I don't want to do like vaults (I always get fucking lost in vault 3 or in there stands the grass). I just ruin it
>>3893602I've been playing a lot lately. I learned how to make turbo and hydra, so one thing that I've been specifically doing is hunting cazadores. They're pretty threatening until beating OWB and getting 50% poison resist or total immunity. I avoided questing for awhile until hunting start to grow stale. Then I dive in with a tedious quest or a few and then go back to hunting cazadores the next day.
>>3893602Wear Legion armor. Half the NPCs are now hostile to you. Now you don't need to worry about most quests and things get a lot simpler.
>>3893602dont do everythingthats the trap. everyone tries to do all the quests, for all the factions they can, without pissing everyone off, for as long as possible. dont do it. its not as fun. pick a side early and fuck with everyone else whenever theyre dumb enough to get in your way.this >>3893878 is a decent enough way to force yourself into that. tho legion life can get a bit lonely lol the only frens a real legionaire needs is the gun runner securitron, and dale bartonanother tip is to try logans loophole as a trait. this caps your character at 30. has some neat benefits, like no chem addiction. but more importantly it makes doing all of the quests utterly pointless. youll hit max lvl way before doing even half of them. you also have to be a bit more specialized since theres no way youre maxing everything, and you get 10 less perksother ideas include modsan alternate start/delayed main quest mod is a good way to have a clean break from your usual goodsprings loop around the map intro and/or your jump on rocks through quarry junction/black mt to skip everything routinenot being forced into the main quest, alone, is a pretty big change. but you can also start as various factions. great khans is a fun one as you start on bad terms with NCR, and youre also now in red rock at lvl1if youre a real madlad, do the OWB startgoing further with the mod idea, you could try to build a load order that has a few tweaks for whatever character you wantfor ex, i had an explosive build. i ONLY wanted to use explosives. but i also wanted to do a pyromaniac build because flamethrowers are obviously supposed to be explosive based, not energy weapons. so i modded the flamer weapons to be explosive, and for explosive perks to affect them. a fun timeyou could similarly do the same idea for a legion playthrough by stacking a bunch of legion mods for more quests/areas etcComment too long.

>>3890917that sounds retarded
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8QGYqdNF98Holy shit I love that this game keeps on giving in terms of those little details
>>3890989There was a mod that restores that stuff.
Beta House seems like such a nice fella.
>Sticks a mind control device in you, forces you to kill your buddies and explodes your head
Was Daniel intentionally written as an unlikeable cunt, or was it an accident?
>>3894671Its also a good idea to not put much bullshit religions or race related stuff in video games.
>>3894671*like in Fallout 2 for the Modoc shotgun marriage gag they just put a chapel in the middle of town with crosses everywhere entirely and only for the comedy marriage scene. Does everywhere have chapels like that but they don't bother showing them in playable areas because it's just normal? I guess. It's only as western countries have gotten flooded with non-Christians and more and more ex-Christians are full blown nonbelievers now instead of just very weak tea Christians that "religion" seems like more of an important worldbuilding element.
>>3894671What most apocalyptic settings including Fallout don't realize is how different things would really be without Christianity.
christcucks somehow have a way of ruining everything
>>3894671The lack of that stuff in fallout goes back to the foundations of the thing. They didn't have the time or desire to put the work into proper world building. >>3894677You just can't think about it. Fallout even fallout 1 does not stand up to any scrutiny of that kind. They were much more focus on just what they could depict in the games and getting the mood right from mad max, boy and dog, canticle, and original wasteland. The setting is just a mess to me. Fallout 2 instantly kneecapped the setting and fallout 1 was barely keeping up the smoke and mirrors. Blame interplay and maybe cain
I escaped Privateer's Hold, what do I do in this game? it's even more ambiguous than Morrowind.
>>3889493i gave vanilla unity daggerfall a good 2 hours before I moved onto morrowind. Maybe I should go back to try it with mods. Are there actually guild questlines to progress through or is there only the main quest?
>>3890073Guild quests are random slop, just like most of the game
>>3890076Yeah I mean that's what I mean about getting proc gen right. There should be set quests to progress through, even if the tasks themselves are more proc gen slop. As a player I need direction. Even if that direction is get this number from 1 to 9 and gain each associated titles from doing quests. And you would get fixed rewards and bonuses for doing it.
>>3890077>Even if that direction is get this number from 1 to 9 and gain each associated titles from doing quests. And you would get fixed rewards and bonuses for doing it.That's exactly how Daggerfall works, though.
>>3890077DF isnt a great game if you need clear direction tbphits kinda not the point. the point is that its the open-est world game that ever was. so that lack of direction is kinda baked in. if you read the manual, ted makes a big point right in the intro about how to think about the game. picrel. it basically amounts to, "just play it out", akin to a tabletop campaign with friends do keep rolling saves tho in case of bugs.dont think of it like some modern TES power fantasy game. its decidedly NOT that. even when you get strong, youre often still very vulnerable in certain ways. and to contrast modern TES games, youre not expected to be able to join every faction. and you CANT, because unbeknownst to you while playing, these factions all have pre-existing alliances. and those alliances can shift, or kingdoms can start wars with one another. and these shifting alliances can and will sometimes shift against you. sometimes youll quest for one faction/kingdom, only to find you ruined your rep in another. or youll suddenly find yourself a suspected criminal in a kingdom youve never even been to.in fact, one of my fav things about DF is how the game rly does not care that youre "the hero". it doesnt give a single fuck if you bungled your main quest. youll get branded a traitor to the empire, probably get arrested for a bit, and then the world moves on and you still CAN beat it anyways, you just cant side with uriel. it doesnt care that youre supposed to bring mynisera something in 30days, but you got arrested. you failed. it dgaf you were dungeon diving and forgot your cure disease potions in your cart. youll either find the entrance to the dungeon, ASAP, or youll die.the phrase that gets tossed around a lot now in RPGs is "emergent gameplay". but i dont think theres another game that does it to the level that DF does.
Hammerfell(Will not spoil any story details, for now, I know very little as of now.)Bad news first: IF all goes well – Late 2028.Protagonist is a prisoner, implied to be a pirate, on a small prison island near the city of Sentinel. He wakes up during a riot, leaves the island on a boat impersonating a messenger. Arrives by boat at the port of Sentinel at dusk.(big world reveal moment) This is where the tutorial area ends and the game begins.Cities and villages are open. And now to drop a bomb: Most of the small buildings are open. Locked behind load screens are big buildings like palaces, keeps, guild halls, inns etc... This is ongoing work and It's keeping a lot of people awake at night. Massive engine work to make this function. City of Sentinel is 3x the size of Akila City from Starfield but not as dense. As I understand, some space is needed between the open buildings for proper loading and unloading of assets. Level design will help mitigate this as well as other small details like door opening animations. This created numerous issues and one of them is believe it or not... Windows. While inside small buildings you should be able to look through the window, but when you are on the outside from x distance you should be able to see inside, which is a problem and created a lot of discussions and testing about how far should you be from a house too look inside and this also affects the distance of which the assets start to load... and what specific asset type should load. When you come close to a big building with a loading screen you cannot see inside as the asset load is too big and when you are inside what happens when looking through windows?, as the outside world needs to be unloaded. In the end frosted glass is used, in some cases transparent and for buildings with a load screen a parallax interior/exterior is added. Windows cannot be opened, lockpicking windows was considered.
>>3870566That just means there will be lots of niggers to kill.
>>3893045What's better:A. Not living around negroids and not having any negroids to killB. Living around negroids and having lots of negroids to kill
>>3893047You aren't living around anything, it's a video game
>>3892909Right was done in 3 years, left isn't even started after 20. I'd rather have the one I can play.
>>3892909W-what is going on on the Dibella Isle?
Dead MMOs that you will never play again
>>3889656Which private server? I heard a few years ago that some japs were working on one but wasn’t complete at that point. I only ever played a bit of an intro dungeon at a buddies house when the official game was live and always wanted to go back. A few links I see after googling are from back around 2021.
The fact that I’ve literally never seen anyone else talk about Gunshine despite getting killed to (I assume) focus on Clash of Clans is insane to me. I miss browser mmo’s.
miss this so much
>>3888168Pandora Saga. I just liked the way that game looked.
>>3888332the tragedy of this game is all the pve content no one wants to play because everyone would rather just grind pvp until 50. game is dogshit.
Why hasn’t SE been able to top FF2?
>>3893139the Pixel Remasters
>>3893099>FF3nah
>>3893139anything but the pixel demasters
>>3894526>anything but the pixel demastersAn anon once posted a direct comparison between the FF6 SNES intro and the pixel remaster intro. The audio sounded like hot garbage and a complete downgrade, just weak.I will never consider playing any of them.
>>3893097Why has no one else?Excuse me, listening to rebel theme now to topple the corrupt government, thanks....i mean with tanks.
Steam and pretty much every major digital storefront are doing their winter sale. So, what are you buyers/piraters interested in? I got Atlyss for 5 burgers, and for being a furry gooner bait game it's better than it has any right to be. The best way I can describe it is if someone tried to make a consolized MMO during the gamecube/ps2/xbox era without all the garbage baggage that typically comes from MMOs. There's even an imp race so non-furries like me can have something to nut to.It also makes me a bit salty because it's definitely a game I would have tried making if I was better at 3D modeling and could rope some other autists into helping me.
Dunno but I've been playing Death Howl (pixelated deck builder about a shaman and weird stuff, fun); Verho curse of faces (kings fieldy), Angeline Era (weird and relaxing) Guess Ill pirate atlyss it better be good or I'll come back for you
i was looking at the fanatical bundle with doom eternal and was going to pick an rpg for the second game. has anyone played bloomtown or dread delusion?
I'm so fucking angry. I'm actually still shaking after this heated debate with my friend. I told him I finally beat a retro RPG staple that's over 40 years old and had the audacity to fucking tell me I didn't really beat the game because I played it on modern settings. I played it fair and square It was literally built into the fucking game. Yes, I played the Wizardry remake. Literally games that old are not even fucking playable. I don't have grid paper. I'm not going to type out spells. I'm not going to learn coding to learn how to play the Apple 2 version or even the DOS version because fuck that. Yeah, I know the SNES version but no automapping unless I spam that stupid spell. Don't get me started on the PS1 version absolutely ugly. Wizardry discussion thread. No gatekeeping or toxicity. They need to just make a proper remake with the entire trilogy. The Five Ordeals are stupid to not include not even as DLC. Digital Eclipse are not making a sequel.
>>3894401Fuck off, GHOSTLp. Or Elanarae, whichever of these two fags you are.
>>3894445Where's your counter argument?
>>3892683he's right, the original wizardry had complete anti-savescumming mechanics, when one of your characters die, it saves, you savescummed and used an ingame map and therefore didn't beated the game, shrimple as
>>3894458I don't argue with pidgeons like you. I shit on them.
>>3892683>poorly crafted ragebaitnigger.
This came out today. I’ve only played a little so far, but it’s like a fusion of Caligula and Monark. I had wanted more of a straightforward Monark sequel, but this seems fine so far. The Masuko score is pretty nice, and the combat has some promise to it. The story is slow-going and hasn’t had a major hook yet, but both Caligulas had meh intro chapters, so I’ll give it a pass for now.For the five or so people like me that really likes Monark, what do you want to see from the game? I’m hoping it ties into the lore and adds more character cameos.
>>3887064Worst girl.
What to do? I want Noa.... Am I locked if I choose her as friend, or can I harem the skills that I imagine this unlocks?
>>3834366Nice game
Is it any good?
>>3894447probably one of the most soulless and cookie cutter weeb games, literally 0 ambition
>>3885023gothic
>>3885023The Witcher
>>3885138The most boring game I played all year. Didn't bother going further than chapter 2. It feels like what would a zoomer that idolizes Skyrim would make when asked to make Skyrim 2. Level progression,character building and combat are fucking atrocious. The story is crap and any cool side content smells of "remember that whole 5 minutes when Skyrim didn't suck?"
>>3891382Wait, it's skyrimlike, not rolls slop? I might need to pick it up then.
>>3894380Pretty sure it uses the lumbering 1 on 1 stamina based souls combat
>Gets sent to a private tutor because she can't control her magic>Attempts to murder him and then kill all of the elementalsIs she stupid?
>>3890829>>3891317I'm getting that I should aim for AQW. Is there truly no plot or setting info that needs to be found outside AQW? If not, then I guess I'll just get i to it. Thank you both.
>>3891340>Is there truly no plot or setting info that needs to be found outside AQW?The only context that really connects them is that in the original Adventure Quest an event happened involving the Dragon of Time dying that created the AQW universe. Going into details is a spoiler, but basically the AQ timeline is a separate continuity entirely and isn't related beyond that single event being a branching off point. The games do share elements and concepts that can make reveals more enjoyable, but they're all self contained except Mechquest which is in the same timeline/universe as Dragonfable.
>>3894330QRD?
>>3894330I don't care about the personal drama stuff, and I would not be surprised if that's how she genuinely acts considering the type of people working at AE, but haven't all the main notes and diaries either been obtained by going out of the hero party's way by things like Dage hacking a system or them being intentionally left around for the hero by the Jus Divinum losers? Unless they're actually complaining about lore not directly relevant to the events of the arc being in diaries.
How much money do I need to give this guy before he'll start one-shotting bosses? I know about the 1024 thing.
>>3886797>I like summons in this game but you don't really get to power them up until way too lateDon't they automatically power up as you level up Yuna, and then you can just kick that shit into overdrive with obnoxious grinding?
>>3889758Yes. Always assume people talk out of their ass.
>>3884377he killed seymour on my first playthrough for 100 gil. I thought I was lucky but it ruined the fun.
>>3884380Now what just a moment right here!
>>3884380>Well, it was about that time that Yuna and I realized that Yojimbo was actually a gigantic crustacean from the Mesozoic Era and I said "Damn it, monster, I ain't givin' you a no Sin-damned tree fiddy!"
this is what I heard from 2 months ago>codename draco>started development mid 2024>Yoko Taro, Yoshinori Kitase, and Tetsuya Nomura is involved in the project>the plot is about bahamut, and will include almost every bahamut in the franchise>related to the world of 7 (Maybe a sequel?cause X > VII > XVII lol)>concept of the game is "自由" or freedom in english>have multiple endingI don't have much info on this beside that
>>3893825>Turn based games don't sell you idiotLoathe though I am to praise Larian games, BG3 and DOS2 disproved this. BG3 was a bad game, but that’s despite being turn based, not because of it. It was very popular and sold well.
>>3893951>Loathe though I am to praise Larian gamesNo loathing, admitting and praising needed to state facts. And we just recently celebrated another turn-based game of the year.
>>3893988>Austrian painter dubsYou're correct, but I felt the need for nuance, since I am sick of the "lol X sold well therefore it's good" shills.
>>3893825>Turn based games don't sell you idiotObvious bait.
>>3882039It’s a from a fake leak that was circulating on 2ch a few months ago. Yoko Taro was supposedly the director/scenario writer while Nomura was only contributing character and monster designs. It was debunked by someone working on a mobile game Yoko Taro’s currently doing. I think the Bahamut and connection to VII were embellishments by the OP. Yoshi P gave an interview back in August that made it seem like at the time XVII hadn’t even entered preproduction.
Are you guys feeling excited to immerse yourself once again in the world where the NCR is either gone or reduced to some minor fugitive hideaway faction due to a soap opera incident between a girlboss and her daddy-o, New Vegas is just another ruin, and where Vault 111 cryo-pods are now the 'Deus Ex Machina' for every half-assed plot to drag the past back into the present?All because some normies who either played Fallout 4 or no games at all needed to have some dramatic moments shoved down their throat and some post-apocalyptic tropes that aren't too complex to understand.Well, on the bright side, I guess we only got New York or maybe New Orleans to really do something with, so long as they have no contact with the West Coast and Nevada that much so we don't have to cringe extra hard every time we get lore drops on the 'new' developments, but you know that's gonna happen.
>>3878742No>>3878790>He thinks children bought starefieldDude they bankrupted Bethesda. Do you have any idea how much you have to fuck up to go broke AS BETHESDA
>>3893229nta but i find it impossible to sort through steam to find games. if you don't already know what the game you want is then steam is worthless
>>3893302They aren't bankrupt enough until I see them sell their IPs, fire all of their current staff, dissolve their company and their execs commit seppuku. At least when they sell their IPs, it's a game of russian roulette whether you get a good game or not from a different company, but with Bethesda the game is gonna always going to be shit
>>3893412They literally did everything but the last one. They are now one of the many Xbox games studios. They got put in the microsoft mines to make movie tie in games for less than minimum wage.
>>3878742I play New Vegas and ignore the rest.
