Welcome to the Mojave Wasteland! I truly enjoy the fallout series and especially this one because of the different factions, and the consequences or rewards you get for betraying, or helping a group. Some of the major factions were:
After all my talk about trying to be bad in New Vegas I ended up siding with the good guys anyways. Is it sad that I still have a heart even if I'm playing a game. I was actually sorry that I got someone killed, and lured her so that they won't kill me (sad).
Ceasar's Legion the enemy (or good guys which ever you prefer). I was on their side and Mr Houses:
side for a while until I got a quest from these guys:
stating if I continue to help either of these that they will turn hostile towards me. This is the exciting part because it is endless possibilities of what could happen in the game, and there is also an option to go independent and kill everybody but I would never attempt that.
I loved some of the new weapons in the game including the "Oh Baby" upgraded Sledge:
I was knockin' everyone the *bleep* out with this one. I also liked how they narrowed down some of the skills for example leveling up guns means "all guns" and not separately leveling up: energy weapons, big guns, and small guns, that was so annoying.
The followers were awesome too. each person following you gives you a perk which can alter how you perform. My favorite follower of that whole game was Boone:
He always ALWAYS had my back shooting from a distance. When paired with Ed-E:
a robot that gives a higher perception, Boone is able to see enemies farther away that I can't see and snipe them. HOT DOG that was my team.
O-kay here comes the negative. First..... HOW BOUT THEM DEATHCLAWS!!!!
And I'm talking about the baby ones, I'm talking FULL-GROWN-TAKE-YOUR-HEAD-OFF. I couldn't even get to this area because the minute I waste all my energy killing 2 deathclaws, one comes silently behind me and swipes me in half (if anyone has a strategy for killing deathclaws please share).
Second, I couldn't understand all the ammo conversion. It's hard enough to know what ammo goes with what weapon, being, some are easy to remember like 10mm, 9mm, and such others.... not so much.
Lastly and MOST IMPORTANT..................................... THE GAME WAS FREEZING ON ME EVERY...... FREAKIN... TIME..... I.... PLAYED!!!!!!!!!! Not only that but it did it at least 5 times in one game sitting, and I was so excited to play PC version until all that.
But in conclusion I still love this game.
Also I have a funny story..well it might not be funny, but for those of you who played New Vegas all know that when you dismiss a follower he/she is to stay where you tell them to until you come get them again.. For half the game I didn't know where the heck Boone was, I thought it was a glitch in the game. Now tell me why, when I was traveling across the wasteland, I saw boone walking, and walking with a limp. I was thinking "Where the heck have you been" and " Is this dude going to fight the Legion by himself? I mean I know he hates them and he wants to kill them but I told him to stay in the dinosaur head."
I enjoyed the Fallout, but every person I've know as had problems with this game in terms of freezes, corrupt saved data, missions being locked out, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think I poop my pants if I lost any thing over 15 hrs of game play. One friend said that he was constantly making different game saves.
I'm not that guy who has 10 game saves, I'm the guy who plays for 4 hrs and doesn't save. So I guess its my own fault.
But still, game freezes, lost data is a big no no for me. I like to play it..but the bad outweigh the good. But I do still have 2 DLC to finish for fallout, so maybe I will go back to that.
I'm not good at saving often either, but I do make multiple game saves in case I make a mistake like accidentally hitting, shooting, or stealing something, and someone turns violent on me, and I didnt want it to happen.
ReplyDeleteI always checked for updates to see if the problem will be fixed. I kept seeing that it had an update but I didn't find it. I finished this game a couple months back so maybe its better now.
