Completed Turd Vegas

[Dragula]

Holy shit endgame was boring. The game builds up for this epic standoff in the hoover dam. But HAHA, it took like 30 minutes and did not feel epic at all.


Fuck you very much Obsidian. Hail Caesar.

 

[Multidirectional]

So no huge robots? Bring back Bethesda!

 

[Dragula]

Fuck you you dumb fucking Lithuanian.

It's not the lack off robots, it's the way they try to portray the siege, when all you do is really run in gun down lot's of people, face a boss and then it is done.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

And... that's different from fighting Horrigan in Fallout 2?

 

[Dragula]

Yes.

Spoiler

So I joined up with Caesars Legion and we storm the hoover dam. It's about 15 minutes on shooting NCR up on the top of the dam. Then it's 15 minutes shooting inside the dam, and then there is a boos who I convinced to surrender with my awesome speech skill, and then the game was over.

 

[Multidirectional]

So what did it need to feel "epic"? Fight should have lasted several days with millions of troops storming in?

 

[racofer]

So what did it need to feel "epic"?

Commander Shepard.

Commander Shepard.

Stupid Obshitian never learns what makes a good RPG.

Because the dialogue portrayed it as such.

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

Yes.

You shoot Frank Horrigan in the face with some turrets if you're smart.

You shoot Frank Horrigan in the face with some Enclave troopers you convinced to join you if you have good speech skills.

You shoot Frank Horrigan in the face if you have a big gun.

You shoot Frank Horrigan in the face if you have a small gun.

You shoot Frank Horrigan in the face if you have an energy weapon.

You stab Frank Horrigan in the face if you have a melee weapon.

Same fucking thing as New Vegas. You fight some trash and then you fight a boss.

 

[chzr]

actually, you can try throwing weapons, too.

*endgame is EPIC!*

wtf is this epic shit

*endgame isn't EPIC!*

wtf is this non-epic shit

 

[Dragula]

Fuck you all, it's the fucking endgame, it has to be some form of gratification. And it felt unrewarding.

 

[Carlos' Bitch1]

So, how long did the game last?

 

[Dragula]

25 - 30 hours for me, I hate exploring empty voids, so if you're into that it can last longer. I did all quests I could though.

 

[racofer]

25 - 30 hours for me

Well, you obviously haven't played the game enough, therefore you're not entitled to judge it.

Come back when you've played it enough.

 

[Dragula]

Ok sorry. Which is the minimum playtime required to form an opinion?

 

[Clockwork Knight]

At least 40 hours playing with skyway's nuts

 

[flushfire]

Fuck you all, it's the fucking endgame, it has to be some form of gratification. And it felt unrewarding.

You should play Risen :D

 

[Carlos' Bitch1]

What games do have good endings though? What does an ending need to be good?

And where does an ending start? With the endboss/location? or after they are defeated/found/raped and the cutscenes/movie/writing begins?

To be honest, endings in a game have never really fussed me. If it is a good game, then the ending makes me wish that it had not come so soon. With the few rubbish games I have forced myself to play through, it is like a nice drink of water to a parched throat regardless of content. I haven't forced myself to finish a game for many a year now though. I just don't buy games I know I won't like.

But he's pretty edgy for an xbawks lover.

 

[Dragula]

Pffft, I played it on the PC.

Regarding to what makes an endgame good, I don't know really. First of all you get a big screen saying "THIS WILL TRIGGER ENDGAME ARE YOU SURE?" and then you get teleported to big endgame fight that is not so big as they make it sound.

I liked the ending in Fallout 1, that felt rewarding. The one in Fallout 2 was also pretty good, and it felt rewarding when you took down Horrigan. Hell, even Arcanum had better end gamem or Planescape Torment.

What I want in an endgame is gratification, feel like I have accomplished something for finishing everything. The ending sliders were great and showed what happened to most of the different locations, it's just the area right before the sliders that bugs me.

So this is what you people are calling xbawks these days?

Oh my...
