After a 40 hour playthrough of Fallout New Vegas plus 20 hours of DLC I loaded up Mafia 2 for a change of pace.

Underrated game, fuck you.

Try to ride around in the city, outside the story missions, you will find really interesting things...

Do a quick try of Class of Heroes (psp). game feel like underdeveloped and grindy. Could be a nice game, I dont know. Just 5 hours into the game. Not sure will continue

Linear games can be fun.

They changed Mafia's awesome combat to cover-based popamole with health regen, so no.

I don't remember the original having awesome combat.

Play the parking lot mission again. As much as I like the game, combat was the only part of the gameplay that was actually fun.

There are definitely a bunch of QTEs at the end of boss fights, but once you get past Chapter 2 the gameplay/QTE ratio increases a lot in most boss fights, besides maybe the Crow Witch.

Where are you at now?

 

[AlexOfSpades]

I'm a huge Fallout fan (spent hundreds of hours in every game in the series - still insist that Fallout 1 is the best). I have been dowloading the old games and i noticed that i never finished Fallout Tactics. Anyone here ever played it? Is it shit or is it an underrated gem?

Shit. Lack of basic mechanics from the genre like terrain destruction makes missions among flimsy buildings to be more like dungeon-crawling, you get flimsy doors that can't be blown up or even lockpicked, etc.
Combat system is pretty shitty when compared to JA2 and X-Com and even Laser Squad.
Fallout setting is mutilated beyond recognition and stuff like that.

Better play Laser Squad.

Better than Fallout3, no suprise.
It's nice tactical game, kinda repetitive (lot of fights and lack of talks without any choices).
Read spekkio's LP if you want, pretty entertaining.
Also got nice mod called Awaken, try it if you can.

That's the last "Titan" boss until the end game (which is a long way away). Afterwards boss fights become a lot more conventional.

Cool little mix of Cave Story + Smash Bros. Full version is currently on Steam Greenlight.

You must keep the correct perspective.

Fallout Tactics is not RPG. IT's RPG-lite like Jagged Alliance 2. In fact, it' s the correct game to play after JA2. Dont expect story, character quests and usual stuffs of a RPG. Expect a goodly many battle with tactical choices and consequences.

I guess the reason you abandoned it many years ago because you playin it as the next game after Fallout, not as next game after JA2. It is the usual culprit.

Playing it after JA2 is even worse than playing it after Fallout. The contrast in quality of mechanics between these games could probably drive the player who would try to do something like this to a clinical depression or even to suicide.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

People who get depressed that not every game is as good as one of the best in the genre shouldn't be playing videogames, amyway. Too many shitty games out there, not a healthy lifestyle.

Fallout: Tactics is pretty much the bottom of the barrel when it comes to skirmish games. The only one worse that I have ever played is Rezerwowe Psy.

 

[Baron Dupek]

Rezerwowe Psy? Oh my... that was traumatic. There was also similiar game called Troma Project but can't decide which one was worse.
Even Abomination: Nemesis Project was better.

Fallout Tactics could be some kind of introduction for people who never played anything tactical. But then - better to start with Silent Storm.

 

[laclongquan]

You can badmouth FT all you want. if you are tired of JA2 and dont want FT, you will have zero choice left. Not until Silent Storm series.

After playing around with Misery Mod 2.0.1 for Call of Pripyat I decided to embrace popamole and finally play Deus Ex Human Revolution.

I prepared for complete decline and after seeing "I'm here for a story" difficulty level I turned on my sunglasses augumentation, said "I never asked for this" and choose "Give me Deus Ex" option... then I died 6 times during tutorial.

BUT, after game wasted around hour of my life with unskipable "cinematics" and let me fucking PLAY the game, I must say it's NOT that bad. At least game forced me to plan my approach because I got jack shit for ammo and you can't "takedown" everyone due to the fact that "takedowns" drain stamina/energy/freak-juice. I was pleasantly supprised because this game have obviously popamolish control designed for gamepad, which is usually first and last warning sign that makes me bail out from the game.

Hey, I'm a bit late to the party, but I feel like rewarding you for your LPs so here's my quickstart to improving DX:HR by approx. 300%: 1) disable mouse smoothing (registry edit) 2) disable object highlighting, quest compass, post processing etc. 3) unbind cover key 4) unbind takedown key 5) never spend a single praxis point 6) carry around a stun gun and/or revolver + exploding rounds (depending on difficulty) for boss fights.

Long weekend, and that means I've decided I'm going to play and finish Unreal Gold. This game still kicks ass over a decade later. Though that said, does anyone know of any texture replacements for props, weapons, enemies, etc. and the other holes that the Unreal Texture project leaves left over?
