I played FNV again for a day or two but got bored. So I thought I'd check out HOW ITS MEANT TO BE PLAYED. So now doing FNV in Very Hard with Hardcore. And um, once again codex league is full of shit.
How is this challenging at all? So far the only thing that's killed me was a blind deathclaw when I tried to sneak into Novac through Primm Pass. I did manage that eventually too. Sadly got too much xp and couldn't get maxed int at level 1. But close enough. Mobs are the same shit with added DT. Woopty fucking doo. A few extra bullets. I really wish developers would stop calling HP padding EXTRA SUPER DIFFICULT MODE LOL LOL. Tactics? Improved AI? Fuck that homie, WE'LL ADD HP AND DAM REDUX LUL!
And Hardcore. What a joke. At no point have I gotten immersed in it because there's no fucking feedback. OH SHIT FOOD AT 150 I BETTER EAT SOMETHING YAWN. And there's food and water literally everywhere, not to mention a bed. LULUL.
Why even bother with hardcore mode when it's so fucking lazily done. Food/drink and sleep have been requirements in a number of RPGs over the years, and I don't think I've seen it done more half-assedly than this. Good christ.
WHERE IS UR OBSIDIANS NOW?
EDIT: oh, very hard does have additional fucking lulz too. Like every friendly mob that ends up in a fight, usually ending up crippled. And staying that way, possibly indefinitely? Only checked a few days later, and Sunny was still limping around. Retarded.
