It's the only one that's gripped me enough not only to play through to the end, but to scour the map for things I've missed. Maybe it's just because I want Liam Neeson to be my dad. Edit: Spoiler Also, with one of the DLC packs you can enter the reactor, get killed, then get better again after a few weeks! Result!

It means you can't die at that stage, no matter what option you choose with the reactor. Also has more missions after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Vegas has far better writing although it is just as much of a chore to play these days. I don't mind 3 but I get why people (particularly Fallout purists) dislike it albeit maybe not to the extent that Hbomberguy does although I agreed with most of his points in his analysis of it.* *Can you tell my lockdown is going well? Yes I've watched multiple 2 hour videos of shows and games I don't have a strong opinion on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Sanchez Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Rayman I think 99% of people who've ever played this don't properly appreciate how mind-fuckingly absurd 99% of the game is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The worst thing about 4 was the restricted dialogue options. If I remember correctly it boiled down to: yes, no, sarcastic( wtf?), and please expand. The exact opposite is what made The Outer Worlds great. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I definitely will at some point. I just feel that with three young kids and not a lot of time to play games these days, I don't want something where I have to ride on a horse for twenty minutes to get to a mission's start point. I just want something I can pick up and play.I recently went back to it as lockdown has given me a bit more time now. But I've been playing since about half 11 (two young kids myself) and that's me just came off about 15 minutes ago (2.30am). It's a game that needs and deserves serious time so it's worth waiting for a time where you can get seriously into. It really is frightening how quick time goes when you're engrossed in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To this day I still can't get past the second level! I only heard recently that the Japanese version has extra lives and continues but the EU/US one got rid of them so the game would have a stronger presence in rental markets One of those games I should probably just cheat my way to the end of, I think its like a 2 hour game if you batter right through it On 23/05/2020 at 19:44, Steve_Wilkos said: New Vegas is vastly superior to Fallout 3.
