Old World blues is the best NV DLC thoughever?

Dead Money was fun, but I liked Honest Hearts characters a bit more. HATE the “bear bull bear bull bear bull” dreadlock having-ass, but good DLC for equipment and caps. Straight up refused to play Old World Blues after suffering through the first 15 minutes of goylennial writing.

can't imagine how awful it must be to play NV for the first time after the Millennial Writing thing became a meme

It's too old to be millennial writing. Gen X more like it.

zoomcucks are oddly obsessed with blaming millennials for gen x shit.

No. Old World Blues is reddit slop. Worst New Vegas DLC. Even Honest Hearts is better.
>>
>>3978982
Honest Hearts is better because it's more open world to explore with less restrictions, but Dead Money does have a better story, imo, it's just too limiting and irritating to play more than once. Feels more like a chore than a fun game.
>>

I’m sort of inclined to agree. When I was just a wee tyke I loathed Dead Money and found Old World Blues incredibly charming. Now that I’m a bit older I appreciate the challenge and atmosphere of DM whereas OWB frequently comes off as obnoxious. Honest Hearts can be a bit of a slog at times, but it’s still entertaining. Lonesome Road doesn’t really work for me anymore.

>>3978625
That's not Honest Hearts.

Old World Blues is very bad.
The only good part is the loot, but the issue is the issue is that it just clashes with the tone and setting of the game. Regular FNV is a really down-played, low sci-fi. Sure you have laser guns and robots, but it's all done to be a bit of a 50s envisioning of the future, and feels more like a western.

OWB, and to a lesser degree both DM and LR, fuck that up by adding in a bunch of ridiculous sci fi bullshit. Like sentient ai, surgery centers capable of anything, holograms, matter generators, forcefields, and a whole host of bullshit.
>>
>>3979279
It doesn't help that Old World Blues is nothing but constant combat (bad combat with hit sponge enemies) and jokes which feel only just a step above what you'd see in the Big Bang Theory

which one was that?

I'll be honest, I don't like any of the NV DLCs

That's the point. The entire game is a loveletter to the 1950's with The Kings, the western vibe being a borderline reference to film serials.

It's meant to feel different and have a vibe of 50's scifi and medical horror a la The Fly or Forbidden Planet. I agree it is out of step with the western aesthetic, but so are gauss rifles, energy weapons, chinese stealth suits, neofuturistic knightly orders, and every thing else about the Fallout universe.
>>
>>3978625
Agreed
>>
>>3982482
>it's terrible on purpose
Yeah so it's still terrible.
>>
Honest Hearts is the best one because it has the least amount of stupid gimmicks and the most genuine writing.
>>
>>3982482
Mr House isn't asking the courier to test-fly his latest airplane, and Sunny Smiles isn't going on about the O.K. corral. Mr House is closely based on Howard Hughes, and Ghost-town Gunfight mimics the archetypical western shoot-out, but they take themselves seriously enough to not just be references. It's funny people with real problems. The King might be silly and his cyborg dog doesn't match the drapes, but his problems are real, so I buy it. Old World Blues is "funny" people with "funny" problems, and the penis-fingers aren't exactly helping me get in to the problems of the brains in jars.
No matter how good it would have been, it wouldn't have meshed with the rest of the game if they wanted to be shlock sci-fi, as the rest of the game tries for a very different tone.

OWB is a Fallout 3 DLC that forgot which game it was for.

What destroyed any respect I still had left for Obsidian was when they included my beloved .223 pistol from Fallout and called it “That Gun” and butchered the sound effect into some tinny bullshit rather than reusing the original. About as bad as how the pixel “remaster” of FF6 massacred the intro audio.

In all fairness the only guy who figured out how to emulate that correctly 41-percented.
