There is only one way to save yourself now.

but in terms of athmosphere and giving you a feeling of having to survive in a tough environment, it really does succeed.
The fuck? Atmosphere? Everything is fucking black and white and full of stupidity. Survival? Yeah sure. In the game with so much handholding you really have to survive.

I wonder if new kids even played games like XCom because they don't know what difficulty is.

Crank the difficulty level up to hard, keep your repair skill low so that you will have to pay a considerable amount of money for fixing your gear and you're in for a challenge.
You mean in order to make a game more enjoyable you create an artificial problems for yourself even though combat and everything else in the game is a piece of shit? Help the world, kill yourself.

Just wandering through the wasteland discovering new locations is fun, and I think Bethesda has done a wonderful job at creating variety in terms of encounters, locations and scenery..
Ah you are just trolling. Nobody can be so stupid.
Right?

Good for you, man. All I can say is that I've gotten my ass handed to me plenty of times

...in Fallout 3?!

At moments like these I wish Codex had Hitler to purge these declined casual untermenschen so they would never leave their cozy walls of ESF.

I installed fallout 3 just to test it. I played through the vault, kind of rushing it, because I wanted to try some sight-seeing throught DC.

I just ignored megaton. i wanted to go directly to white house, or the capitol. Hatef to know I couldn't go straught there without rellying on tunnels.

Managed to go to jefferson memorial though, infested with supermutants. I managed to kill all of them using vats, and I was level 2 or 3.

I tested this after a Fallout 1 playthrough, where the supermutants could kill my superpowered and superarmored vault dweller.

I have to mention that i didn't even had a decent armor in Fallout 3. And yet i could kill the supermutants fairly easy even in closed spaces like corridors.

Stragely enough, there were some though enemies in Fallout 3 I saw in that playthrough, like some ghouls that kept killing me, but i think it was mostly because they outnumbered me and attacked in groups.

then got bored and uninstalled it. but i plan to finish it one day.

My strategy is play little by little.

Like i play oblivion: I got bored, stay months without playing, then I return and play a i little after my last save, and get bored again.

Classic skyway. This truly is the good shit.

NEW FACE OF THE CODEX.

This LP is pretty interesting, I actually didn't-remove-this-from-an-inventory a while back but I can't be bothered to try it out. Especially after reading this. I'm getting Bloodlines instead.

Already admitted that there is a lot of stupid stuff in the game, but I don't really mind it. As for black and white, this is Fallout.

Survival? Yeah sure. In the game with so much handholding you really have to survive.

It has handholding, yes, but travelling across the wasteland with scarce resources can still be difficult if you don't use the fast travel feature, which I usually don't.

You mean in order to make a game more enjoyable you create an artificial problems for yourself even though combat and everything else in the game is a piece of shit?

Already replied to this.

And also, combat is fun.

...in Fallout 3?!

To quote one of the Obsidian developers when responding to another one of your tirades:
How does it feel to be melodramatic and crazy?

True, fusion cells shouldn't just explode, but then again, I don't really care. Exploding cars are fun.

Same person.

On ESF they now consider Daggerfall to be better than Oblivion - the environment is becoming hazardous for morons. And Codex with its decline where shooters with text are praised as the best RPGs is like heaven.

Deus Ex, SS2, VtM:B have been considered great RPGs by the Codex for years. That's nothing new.

No for years Codex knew what action RPG means or action games with RPG elements. Until now.

And I was talking about the new shit like ME, AP, F3 and even Stalker which some local ESF'ers consider a RPG too obviously.

Hah, so you guys honestly thought this is stupid? That Fallout 3 is pretty facepalm worthy as is?

You fools.

Have you not hear...OF THE DLC?!



Welcome...to Fallout! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Going against hi-tech aliens invading an earth in a samurai armour with a katana - this is a true Fallout spirit! I just don't know what to say...

What, you don't think it's AWESOME to get your own SPES SHIP!?!

At the end of the day, as if by magic, all of this comes together in a consumable form that is hopefully entertaining. Yes we all have a common goal, try to make something great, but the devil is in the details. Making sure that lots of itty bits of 'pretty cool' actually add up to one, big, perfectly spherical orb of Awesome (rather than a sloppy, drippy mess of 'kinda interesting'), is where the trick is.
I do love this admission of their "throw a bunch of super cool random shit together and hope it gels" method.

Welcome to bliss. Suddenly, firebombing Bethesda HQ has never seemed more plausible.

Eventually... if Bethesda slaps enough shit together, they'd have reproduced the entire world, down to each individual ant. Fallout 3: Simant.
