Your disrespectful attitude towards Cain, Boyarsky, Avellone has to stop

Honestly I found all NV DLCs to be out of place. I think NV by itself (and without the Fallout 3 gameplay) would be a decent addition to the Fallout franchise. The DLCs instead just went full retard.

Indeed, I believe the plan was that the dlc should be "out of place". Even Josh took his dlc away from the Mojave. The Mojave makes for a 100h playthrough, did you really need "more of exactly the same"? I appreciate what they did with the dlc, each one did something different. They were not lazy at all.

Or visit at 16th preferably, though 12th for masochist is fine. You gotta have enough of a buffer to survive the horror park. More perks to offer more way to survive. DM is the first DLC out, so it's assumed at the time of release that hardcore gamers already is at high level after two month death marching in the desert.

? The suggested level is 20, so yeah.

If you are at 20th, you already played far and wide enough that the gains from Siera Madre dont matter much. But a 16th, or 12th PC is just barely experienced enough and barely good enough inventory of items. The laser shotgun, and full-repair item, are quite useful for them.

There are two ways to enjoy Dead Money

Turn down difficulty to minimum. This way your underutilized, underpowered, badly tuned, character of a storyfag can enjoy the story and theme.

Dead Money is actually harder at higher levels because of level scaling. Either way, I have no idea where's this "DM is haaaaard" meme coming from, there're enough supplies to survive the DLC if you just look around. Stealth is bugged because of dev oversight, but ghost people are slow enough that you can just outrun (most of) them, and holograms/speakers are things that aren't actively trying to hunt you down (you can disable most of them as well, if you just pay attention). Fog clouds don't take away much health if you don't stand in them for too long, hell, they even reward you with extra supplies if you dive in. Only some of the mundane traps are annoying on the first playthrough, but that can be said about vanilla NV as well.

Nothing significant.
Dead Money is like if Mozart wrote a good poem for some noble.
Nothing that makes you say: "Mozart is back at it again."

Who is that guy,does he makes good games?

Was a vidya OST composer when videogames were not even a thing. Talk about being born in the wrong generation!

 

[laclongquan]

Sure, Dead Money is easy if you play normal or easy difficulty with no hardcore mode kick in. And while you are at it, play at the recommended 20th level for max ease~

Senile developers keep babbling about stuff that doesn't matter. They need to be sacrificed. They are just too old!

We are comparing with New Vegas levels of difficulty, right? Your previously acquired gear will not help you, and there are enemies you cannot kill. There is no "I want to walk around feeling powerful" in Dead Money, which is a preferred style of play for many in the Bethesda crowd. You actually have to pay some attention and figure it out, the collars do not forgive.

Listen, Very Hard/Hardcore/JSawyerMod, Dead Money is an intense experience for me no matter what level I visit. There is something to be said about games that are both challenging, and with a great narrative. When away from safe spaces, I am a few seconds away from my head exploding and a few minutes away from my health depleting. It is very intense. We often laugh at MCA's experience with Arcanum's wolves, but his areas in New Vegas (and Wasteland 2 too, btw) are some of the toughest in the game.

Dead Money is absolutely terrifying for those select few who play ironman style or such.

I have no issues with people who lower difficulty to just experience Dead Money's story, but to me it gives both great challenge and a great story with great execution. Everything comes together for a very special experience.

Senile, old farts( who happen to live in a safe-space diversity bubble) telling young and hip people what they need and what they like.
Respect or else.

 

[Alphons]

Predictably, the attempt to convert Fallout: New Vegas into a survival horror game results in poor gameplay, with the player restricted to the single option of completing the DLC in order to return to the Mojave, compensated only by Avellone's writing for the four DLC NPCs.

Honestly I found all NV DLCs to be out of place. I think NV by itself (and without the Fallout 3 gameplay) would be a decent addition to the Fallout franchise. The DLCs instead just went full retard.

Make Fallout great again.
And isometric.

It already happened! 2 times!

It's not about being in the Mojave or not. They're simply out of place in the Fallout franchise. And they're pretty crappy too. Save the one with the robots which was kinda funny, I guess.

Also, I wouldn't really go with the "would you want more of the same argument?". That's a Bethestard-level argument.

And in fact, yes, I would want more of the same, that being more of Fallout 1 and 2. But I'm not gonna get it. Instead I got Fallout 3! No more of the same, hurray!

 

[Trashos]

FeelTheRads, just to make it clear, by "more of the same" I meant "more of the same in a single playthrough".

Well, this pile of money didn't fall from the sky, did it? It came from satisfied console players.

Look at Todd Howard. Does he deserve respect for his craft? Depends on whom you ask because RPG means different things to different people. Millions of people who loved Skyrim, Fallout 4, and can't wait to buy the next TES game will tell you that he's the best damn game designer there is. Similarly, if the Outer World is successful (and it hasn't even hit Steam yet), then Tim & Co will get all the respect for their craft they can handle.

100 from Guardian?
Leftist pro-LGBT that hates white male people.
I wonder why they gave 100 to this piece of trash which is full of pro-gay and anti-capitalist propaganda in every corner of this game.
