I already play lots of other games. I've recently started playing Fallout NV again, as I never actually beat it or any of the DLCs I bought except Dead Money. So lots to do there still. Fallout 4 isn't going to change that, but I'm definitely going to get it as soon as I can.

I'm gonna be all over that. Counting the days. I'm so ridiculously tired of carrying the T3s on my team. It's not their fault at all, it's MM's. but **** this game.

I restarted the other day with my favorite mods, hardcore dead is dead. I just finished Nipton and the slaughter the Legion did there. Laid a trap for them as they tried to leave with the powder charges and dynamite I got from the Powder Gangers I killed in Primm. They are tough as **** at low level and there is a lot of them so it was an intense fight.

A lot of fun. Glad this thread came up. Currently running back to the ncr border crossing to gear up for the cross through Death claw territory. I might try to cross east instead but then you get those bad ass scorpion and legion encounters and the terrain is iffy.

The one thing that always bugged me about Fallout: New Vegas. They placed one of the hardest areas of the game next to the players starting point, and one of the first missions you receive is to clear out deathclaw central, with you start starting BB-Gun and a bent steak knife.

You can disarm and take the mines in primm, the powder charges from powder Gangers and any others like that you can loot. Use a cowboy repeater or varmint rifle and shoot legs. Kite them out 1 at a time and run like an sob back to the mining town to distract them. Focus one leg down like an ACH, then head shots with whatever you have the most ammo in.

Mostly though it's mines and placeable explosives to leg them and slow them down. Get into the middle area, climb a grinder ramp and jump onto a ledge so they can't get to you. Then plink heads. Bring a lot of ammo.

It's supposed to teach you "the hard way" that some areas are too strong and should be saved for later. The nearest isn't always the easiest, just like in real life. Outward spiral while leveling up doesn't work, unlike in other more predictable games.

Except that was literally the only area I felt it of my depth, so for me it was a one time "lesson" with no practical application. The lesson I learned was go through the map counter clockwise.

I dunno man. Those Cazadors just north of Goodsprings scare the pee water out of me. I can kite away from Deathclaws, those insanely poisonous hate engines with wings just fly up to you and wham. Poison for like 4 times as long as it takes to kill you.

dont play NV its basically crap. there is nothing really to explore all encounters what made f3 special are scripted and basically FNV is a real rip of F3 with better mechanics but less soul by far. On top next to no supermutants -.- like really? every ******* fallout had a mass of em.

[Kaspirikay]

implying people can only play 1 game at a time

[Accused]

Well, some of us can only play one game at a time. There's a reason I'm probably going to game around 120ish hours. I mean you beat the game trying to get the best ending possible, then you need to go all the back afterwards and kill everyone in the first town you emerged from and drag their lifeless corpses through the desert so they can serve as furniture in your heavily armed residence.

Or whatever. I mean there's lots to do in fallout.

[Triordinant]

Looks like it's going to be a lean month for MWO. A week from now those who want their victories and defeats to mean something or want to be part of an epic story will start playing Fallout 4. A week later those who want to shoot stuff and run/fly/drive will start playing Star Wars Battlefront 3.

[MischiefSC]

Star Wars Battlefront 3 will be a disappointment. I'm sorry man, I really am. If I told you everything that had been cut for release from the trailers and promo stuff I'd get a friend fired but....

It's going to be a heartbreak. Unless your expectations are really low.

On the plus side I can always come back to MW:O. Secure in the knowledge that I can leave and come back 6 months later and it'll be pretty much exactly what I left, just maybe some UI updates and tiny changes in some weapon performance. Maybe even a bit of a meta shift.

All the core underlying issues will be there, the gameplay pretty much exactly the same and CW will be, well, what it already is.

So, uh, there is that. Right?

It has supermutants. You probably didn't play very far, did you?

One thing that's better in NV than FO3 is actually that not every ******* enemy is a super mutant at high player level. I was getting so sick of them in FO3.

[Sjorpha]

Logically competitive players should be far less likely to take a break from MWO to play a single player game. Casual players should be more inclined to do it, so I'd expect there to be more drain from tier 5-3 than 2-1.

Also any reduction of the player base leads to worse matchmaking, not better.

I'm going to wait a while to play Fallout 4. The setting is just too depressing.

you've played this since closed beta, you should be used to depression now

Let me guess its all in the season pass. you don't have to tell me. I already know Angry Joe had the same suspision and I watched his video but I bought it anyway. Because its a Starwars Battlefront we didn't have for years anyway.

You cant really prove it anyway because of getting your friend fired. Your friend wasn't supposed to say anything anyways its called a non-disclosure.

Star Wars Battlefront 3 is even worse IMO! It's from E.A.

And E.A. is pure wack. A tumor that has grown after the Battlefield 1942 franchise.

Man, glad i never bought any game from them after that.

They're just like Activsion, Ubisoft worst of the worst with their shitgames.
