Thought I was alone on my supposed island till the border shifted, meet the spartans, they want an alliance to attack Zak, sure why not and then they share their world map (2150)

Double my population already, why of course. This is going to be painful once relations turn sour

Did you enjoy the bug where the Super Mutants with the Brownings gibbed you at maximum range with Burst fire?

Honestly the mutants weren't that bad; even the behemoth wasn't frustrating. You can abuse the burst just as much as the AI, you get very capable long range weapons, you usually you have multiple paths for flanking and for the hardest missions you can use your vehicle for assault roles. The very worst shootout with super mutants is entirely optional since the the captured general has already been withdrawn from the battlefield.

It's the indestructible terrain, frequent crashes and the stupid bugs that really get me hating the game. I started playing and quit a few months back just because of the Reaver VIP evac mission. Did you follow your explicit directions and move the VIPs out using your APC? Well fuck you! One of those lazy shits is your new squad leader- hope you weren't planning on recruiting different shooters or buying things from the quartermaster. Also, the lore rape is pretty awful. It's like they ignored Fallout 1 entirely and just went full on New Reno. Still better than Fallout 3 though.

This is how a better game would let you employ some tactical flexibility:

Sig tells us that the intel we're after is in the basement of this building, but if we want to get there we have to make it through a gauntlet of around a dozen (give or take) shooters:

No big deal, let's just make our own way:

Now we have a big metal crate to block our flank, and a big entrance to the target building which will let me stack up unmolested. I can continue to breach through more walls and floors if I want to (intel is right below), or at this point just treat the area like a conventional shoothouse.

Yeah, talk about luck. Someone always lands in the forest of pussy and gets a gigantic early game advantage.


edit: Cholo, I had a similar infuriating bug with Fallout 2 on the oil rig. I think I killed some guy that dropped the key to blow up the rig, except that somehow I slept for too long at 1hp/regen and when I woke up his body was nothing but a puddle of blood. And I was unable to click on the damn key that was under the blood! After maybe 1 hour of trying everything, I found a non-supported way of blowing up the oil rig, I think it involved some explosive that I combed the whole level for. What can I say, when Fallout 2 closes one door, it opens another.

...wait. Dat house in the background, the door doesn't seem to be on this side...

But at least after you got Brownings with high leveled troopers you are unstoppable. The bug with blocking doors was more rage worthy, I had to replay some part of that level.

I don't recall most of the Fallout Tactics "bugs", but one other that was beneficial was this: If you got a Special Encounter on a map square, you would ONLY get Special Encounters on that square. Now that I think of it, I recall some clever people discovering that the squares for Special Encounters are hard-coded into the map, so they're ALWAYS in the same places. I had about 4 or 5 special encounters in one square alone.

Why is this relevant? Because one encounter allows you to recruit the Fallout Boy who has an INSANELY powerful Trait, and another encounter (the Pitch Black one) is THE most fun encounter you will have in the entire game. A true test of your squad's abilities.

Yeah I ran into that when it first came out too; however, I raged quite a bit more when I realized by previous save was 2 missions back.

After a while, making some missions in OFP is almost as much fun as playing them later on

"Sweet. Trial stage for the feeding tanks went well and everything looked rock solid stability wise. Time to finish up the staging setups and do a trial run on Mun and Minmus."

"...Or not."

 

[Surf Solar]

Tweaked my settings a bit. Putting something on "Ultra" settings makes it actually appear as "LOW". LOL! (EA sucks etc)

Surprised my dated PC can handle this with such a smooth framerate. Will lower it again though, don't want to miss the bushwookies hiding inside vegetation.

Was wondering If I could get some specs on that? Curious if I can run it. Also on never playing BF3 like, ever. Was back home in the middle months and now without my gaming rig in these for a while.

Its not a bug, its a feature!

Feature of .50 BMG, yes.

A feature that only happens when there's more than one character within the burst cone...

The X series at its best—

no HUD or gameplay

The Inner World -- nothing extraordinary, but a pretty charming adventure game overall; just a solid classic point and click and a nice addition to Daedalic's catalog

NOO! My teddy bear! Suffer the consequences.

Tried to talk with the parrot. Failed. I wonder why ?

The heart of this decadent city.

The teddy bear has been avenged.

Such a good game, and I finally finished it. The graphics are so nice, but the difficulty was really high. And all that HIZ, NIT, BZT and others .

THIS GAME IS SO GOOD.
