/v/ - Video Games

You underestimate the average Bethcuck.

These people are happy enough to turn on their <insert latest console here>, play for an hour or two after work, maybe do ONE quest or ONE dungeon and then turn the game off. Most don't even finish the story.

That is Bethesdas audience now. Not you. Not me. Not the people that mod their games.

Fallout should have died with the second game, everything afterwards has been suffering and there are people who believe that a slightly above average title like New Vegas justifies Bethesda's butchering of the franchise and turning it into a normalfaggot thing.

There's an extremely remote chance that, if KCD contunes to do well, that Bethesda will try to ape the game that's trying to ape Bethesda's old games - leading them to come back around and maybe put some effort into the story and mechanics.

Though that would assume that Beth/Zeni can see over the huge stacks of cash on their desks to even take notice of what anybody else is doing unless they have an even bigger stack of cash.

>>14392483

Even if they wanted to ape the success of KCD, they don't have the know-how or the engine to do it.

>>14392423

Nobody believes it justifies.

I want a real-life Fallout in California

>>14392483

If anything, that would only encourage them to make another elder scrolls game. Our last hope for a good fallout game died when bethesda took the reins from zenimax.

>>14392508

current obsidian you mean

obsidian is ded too btw

Fallout was always garbage, stop wallowing in your nostalgia for a trash series.

>>14392814

A fucking cut-scene showing it not some old blind whore or a static screen while some faggot talks over it.

No

Bethesda is shit

>>14392396

This

And Obsidian has been pozzed beyond salvation

Best thing it could happen to the IP is to be left alone

huh Call of Pripyat has similar idea behind its multiple endings, even stills and talking over it is near identical

what a strange coincidence it released just a year earlier as well

>>14393017

Did you accidentally a word?

>>14393072

Yes I did but I don't even think it is grammatically incorrect.

>>14393051

Dude wasteland isn't even close, and wasn't ever close to being as good as fallout

>>14392376

Nah, at best when next gamebyro engine game comes out FO4 will have enough mods to make it playable

Nice try. There has never been a bad fallout game.

>>14393449

mods will never fix FO4

There's just no substance

There are no devs I trust at this point with fallout. It’s dead, Jim.

>>14393505

I havent played it yet since I have this "do not play beth games until you can do it with a folder of mods" kinda policy but, did they really made it so crap?

>>14393526

It is a full on Borderlands clone with the ability to half assedly make settlements and a story so fucking retarded and inconsistent.

>>14393526

The game consists of roaming the map, collecting trash, and bringing it back to build pipe guns and ammo.

That's it.

Combat is also, somehow, worse than previous games. And it's not like in Fallout 3 or New vegas where only certain enemies have a lot of health, here any of them can have massive amounts of health completely at random.

The story is so bad it isn't even worth mentioning.

>>14393505

>>14393526

The closest to "fixing" Fallout 4 with mods I got was installing a total conversion called Frost, which is more like playing Stalker than Fallout.

Nothing less than a total revamp of the entire game like Frost will make it tolerable. There's just too much wrong with it.

>>14393526

There is no huge difference in gameplay between Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4 but I will list some minor points:

>Less depth to RPG elements than New Vegas, less dialogue choices and cool options, you aren't 100% railroaded though

>Levelling changed to a completely fucked perk based system

>Power Armour no longer late game, you get it early and it's more like a temporary vehicle you only use for tough fights and radiation zones, you have to scavenge power cells to use it

>Settlement building, impacts game quite a lot since you have to loot junk items to build settlements so your inventory is always full of useless shit

>Radiation no longer lowers S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats and instead reduces your max health, radiation is a bigger problem in Fallout 4

Apart from this, the gameplay is exactly the same. It's enjoyable enough. When you're out in the game world, doing the side quests and exploring locations, it's virtually indistinguishable from New Vegas in terms of gameplay. The Commonwealth is no Mojave but it's much better than the grey-green smear that was Fallout 3 and there's a lot of fun little places like The Glowing Sea, HalluciGen, that school where everyone eats vault tec paste etc. Far from the shit-heap anons have called it in my view, it's an average game to fill the New Vegas hole, nothing more nothing less

>>14393487

what has bethesda ever done to prove they're not a bunch of fucking retards that are capable of making anything of quality?

>>14393631

Frost is fine, although Dust, made by the same guy is miles better.

Frost is basically just roaming around the map and shooting at shit, it still has no depth because the actual game doesn't.

>>14393725

Yes, Bethesda is so great because of things they released almost two decades ago.

>>14393666

>those trips

I got it working on a pirated copy, no real problems. I think it required an update to work.

When I say Stalker, I mean more in the sense that Frost is survival oriented and there are almost zero friendly NPCs.

It takes place ~10 years after the bombs dropped so everything is destroyed and everyone turned into roving bands of survivalist raiders to try and find supplies in an irradiated hellhole.

Like >>14393686 said, there's not much to do aside from just surviving and exploring.

>>14393649

Ehhh, i think it's a whole lot less. Story is just lazy and terribly written. Not to mention bland. There's a lot of wasted potential.

>>14392423

>tactics

>bad

Nah, had the best combat in the entire series, and it even had gunny in it.

>>14392376

Fallout 4 was the best Fallout game though. It's the only fallout game with decent combat.

>inb4 muh bullet sponge

Your guns become much more powerful as you level up your skills.

Are there any good New Vegas quest mods yet or are they all still really shit?

>>14393556

boone is trash

>>14394700

Let me get this straight. When you play through Fallout 2 for the 10th time, you'd already memorize all the secrets and the right dialogue choice. You'd feel bored and just want to kill everything in the game, but the combat is so garbage you wouldn't stand it. With Fallout 4, you wouldn't need to care about shitty dialogues, just skip everything and go straight to the good parts, which are combat and exploration.

>>14392483

>There's an extremely remote chance that, if KCD contunes to do well, that Bethesda will try to ape the game that's trying to ape Bethesda's old games - leading them to come back around and maybe put some effort into the story and mechanics.

I propose the concept of negative probability where reality needs to rewrite itself for a slightest chance for it to happen.

>>14394760

Although combat and replayability are important factors in determining if a game is good/better than other installments, they aren't the only things that should be considered– especially with games like the Fallout series when there are other elements strongly present like story, RP elements (choice), dialogue/writing, world maps, characters, and so on.

Comparing combat between games is one thing but to say that Fallout 4 is the best game in the series because of that is really fucking silly.

I think the series had a pretty good run. No need to stretch it any further. Too many sequels would just turn it into another Star Wars or Super Mario. Children should learn to let go.

>>14394899

I used to like and have completed Fallout 2 for so many times until i got bored.

>>14395001

I don't think Fallout's story has ever captivated me, and these things you're saying don't last after multiple replays. This is my grudge with "hand crafted" games. You'll soon realize the limits of the choices the game has to offer. That's why I prefer the "quantity over quality" philosophy that Bethesda games have.

Of course the ideal game would be a combination of both philosophies, which is quantity and quality, but you can't always have the best of both worlds.

>>14392376

Remember the one time they "worked with" another studio and not only did that other studio not let them buy them out, but on top of that that other studio completely fucking upstaged them at making Fallout? Yeah, that's not going to happen again.

>>14392483

>There's an extremely remote chance that, if KCD contunes to do well, that Bethesda will try to ape the game

It's not as remote as you think. Pic related.

>that's trying to ape Bethesda's old games

KCD is nothing like Bethesda's old games. In fact, I would be disappointed if Bethesda aped KCD. KCD is fucking trash compared to the roots of what Bethesda was, which are Daggerfall and Morrowind. Just see how huge and open ended Daggerfall and Morrowind were, and the player wasn't confined at all by the story aspect, because there was barely any story.

Bethesda needs to make a game with less story and more sandbox content. Aping KCD will only make their game design even more trash. If they really aped KCD, they would remove the class system, remove ability to kill everyone, add more pointless realism and long winded animations, and add a 3-5 hour railroaded prologue on top of those shits.

>>14395070

Bethesda was responsible for all the Q&A, bug fixing, and giving out almost all the game's asset though. All Obsidian did was tweaking the engine a bit and working with the GECK or whatever builder they use in the development.

>>14395645

Not just making the game, making the game that's a thousand times better than anything Bethesda has churned out in yonks.

Bugs can be fixed, engines migrated from with a port, but shit games can only be thrown in the trash and replaced.

>>14395645

>Bethesda already did that. Are you stupid or just ignoring anything past morrowind as having never existed?

But do I want those things to stay? No I don't, and if they aped KCD, these things would stay.

>This is evident in all of skyrim especially the intro.

So? I didn't like the intro of skyrim.

>Don't forget the making the fucking game part.

By using Bethesda's assets and technical help. Look buddy, that's just how it works. They gave a lot of stuff and a lot of credit.

I'm a Bethesda fanboy when Bethesda does the right thing. Bethesda did the right thing in Fallout 4 by giving it respawning dungeons and base building, they gave the game more non-story related content. My favorite game is still Daggerfall, there's virtually almost no narrative in that one, and almost every side quest can be boiled down to go to this dungeon, kill everything, retrieve this thing, but you could do so many other things.

>>14395857

*get a lot of credit

>>14392376

fallout 2 and any after that is going to be shitty meme spouting, not too good games

C'mon now faggot, you're comparing an RPG with a shooter, that's why there aren't any mods that can fix it, game is flawed at it's concept: it is an okay shooter, but an awful Faullout

I do. It doesn't matter where you go, even on youtube and reddit fo4 is considered a mediocre game and new vegas is considered to be the best nufallout. Given the amount of criticism, i hope bgs stop developing fallouts. The next ones should be developed by inexile.

The person you replied to never claimed that modern Bethesda is good; just that they have (supposedly) made good things long ago in response to someone asking if they have "ever" made something of quality.

You are practically illiterate and need to stop acting like a tough guy online when you're clearly in the wrong.

>>14397171

>>14396965

if were talking about dream fallout games I wanna see one set in Florida. I have never been there myself but I heard its full of crazy people and alligators, possibly crazy alligators. It would be perfect for a fallout game featuring crazy people snorting irradiated bath salts and giant mutated alligators.

>>14397336

I want a Fallout also set in the Deep South, around New Orleans, Mississippi, Alabama etc

It would have the aesthetic of Point Lookout but more Delta blues music

>>14397339

That Xbox guy was probably trolling and that guy with the Starcraft source code was basically threatened by Blizzard's lawyers.

>>14397361

>still getting trolled by a redditer

>>>/get/

>>>/out/

>>14392376

Well, Bethesda acknowledged that the voiced protagonist was a mistake and acknowledged that people were upset by the lack of the skill system. So maybe?

>>14397414

No wait. The biggest disappoinment and retarded faction were the Gunners. I was expecting Reilly's Rangers 4.0, instead its just another fucking raider faction whose motives and actions make no fucking sense within the setting.

>>14397359

Fuck off redditor.

>>14397450

I Google searched "starcraft source code" and read one of the articles about it you lazy faggot.

He didn't just give it to Blizz because "lol why not".

>>14397423

Gunners? More like Talon Company collored green.

>>14393649

F4 actually had a department working on the combat. Anyone who plays F4 first and then goes back will be in for a hell of a shock.

>>14399085

With mods New Vegas combat is good.

It's barely above FO3 without them because the game was rushed to hell.

It's amazing how much more competent amateurs are than professionals now.

>>14393725

>Sea Dogs

Bethesda only published it, a ruskie studio made it.

>>14399115

You can't mod the maps though. Game isn't designed for level combat, just quick encounters. Whereas every mission in F4 is a mini-stage to get through.

>>14397264

>>14392510

That thing reminds me of a picture I saw a long time ago. This pale mildly hair ghoulish alien creature with buggy hungry eyes was trying to grasp desperately at a half-nude (asian?) girl.

I don't have the picture anymore, because why the fuck would I? I'd bankrupt myself buying storage space for saving all the fucked up shit I see on the internet. But that thing reminds me of a slightly more human looking version of that thing.

>>14399448

Just to suffer.

Fallout 5 will probably be fun if you're drunk but a poor game besides.

>>14399214

>that pic

Hes gone mad hasn't he?

>>14392376

Right now, my only hopes concerning Fallout is that modders' project trying to port all of New Vegas into 4. I'd rather just play that through for the seventh time to properly enjoy the handful of mechanical improvements Bethesda made over their outdated iteration of Gamebryo. The company isn't going to "waste" money on good writers who read all the canon before writing anything when there are people who sincerely claim Fallout 4 was a good game because the robot butler will call you "fuckface" if you name yourself that.

>>14392498

If TES 6 at least makes strides back to their old games and you have to move the mouse in a certain direction to distinguish your thrusts, swings, and parries, it would instil some hope. Hell, at this point, you could squeeze some hope out of any new or revised mechanics in an Elder Scrolls game that requires you to rub two brain cells together. These are games that think added difficulty is just reducing your damage output while augmenting everyone else's.

>>14399214

That's kinda cute. I wonder how wide the necks of the soylent bottles are.

>>14402205

Let me guess: Because it's your unusual non-F(L)OSS shit it quietly died off and then was forgotten forever.

>>14402401

No idea,probably

Either way the idea is still something that sounds fun,anybody know any games like it that do it?

Obsidian Fallout game wishlist

>Keep Fallout 4 Gunplay

>Keep and expand weapon, armor customization

>>Change firing modes for ballistic weapons (Single, Burst, Full Auto)

>>More esoteric weapon mods, like attaching a sword or ripper as a bayonet, or attaching an entire second barrel for double fire laser weapons

>>Weapon mods reflect the materials used in creating them. i.e. using duct tape will show the tape wrapped around the weapon part

>>Modifications to armor actually change its appearance

>>Add Decorations like badges, monster remains, different colored stripes and camo patterns

>Keep and expand on Power Armor mechanics

>>Add built in weapons, like machine guns and retractable blades in the arms

>Keep, but downplay the Settlement system. Maybe like 5 Settlements, max, with some additional, smaller "Base" areas. Don't force it as hard on the player.

>With Obsidian, more than two endings would be possible, of course.

>Bring back skill checks

>Bring back 1 INT effects on playthroughs

>Remove voiced Main Character

>Talking Deathclaw companion

>>14402454

>Remove fucking Dialogue Wheel

>>14402454

>>Keep Fallout 4 Gunplay

>let's keep gunplay that's below the standards from over a decade ago

>>>/suicide/

I hope you'll get shit in your chimney for christmas.

>>14402454

>downplay the Settlement system

From something that was barely there? Fuck off, if anything the game needs more of that and with deeper mechanics instead.

And for anyone that doesn't want to play a logistics simulator, there should be something similar but for starting your own gang instead and play the other side of it instead.

The Settlement system should have been the main focus of FO4, the theme being all about rebuilding the wasteland and creating a new future for a country that lost it.

The only reason it sucks so hard it's because it doesn't do jack shit except being an overglorified crafting bench extension.

Gathering common materials shouldn't be up to the MC, that's something you have peasants doing while you're out exploring for the rare components you need.

Getting food\water\sleep should be horribly hard when you're traveling abroad but really easy in your settlements.

Trade routes should actually trade shit and make resources available in settlements that can't produce them, like food exported to a settlement in a rocky area.

Story progression should be tied to how many settlements you have, rival factions establishing their own that you can fight against if you want to conquer them by force.

However basic diplomacy for CHR characters and trading should be an option as well.

And like I said, don't like the whole idea? Find some cave or abandoned building and claim it as your base. Raid settlements that start developing on their own, get followers to tend your base and join you in combat or lone wolf for extra difficulty. The more you raid a settlement, the more they fortify themselves against further attacks, making it harder but increasing the loot you get.

Main quest is now tied to how strong a Marauder Chief you can become instead, working as a thug for rival factions or YesMan'ing the whole thing and razing them all to the ground.

>>14397357

>>14402860

So basically, with this diplomacy thing, you want a M&B Fallout edition? I actually like that idea of implementing some M&B mechanics in Fallout.

>Raid other settlements

That would be great.

Bethesda actually REGRESSED in weapon animation. Hunting rifles in Fallout 3 at least had the bolt on the proper side.

>>14405678

I'm talking about how smooth the weapon animations are, not how accurate the models are.

>>14405701

They aren't smooth what so ever.

New Vegas was enough. it sucks it's tied to a broken down engine and not at least the updated version, but it's an amazing game and the best we could hope for for the time period.

What

>>14406978

I think being able to kill someone with a weapon takes precedent over all those factors. You missed the point where the ripper has no actually way of killing anybody.

>>14406978

The 50's saw the pistol grip become adopted as standard by every major military. You are wrong.

>>14407624

>I think being able to kill someone with a weapon takes precedent over all those factors.

Form over Function, Style over Substance, etc. It's supposed to look cool and even in-world it'd make sense that these things would be sold to the public based on how advanced and slick they look, not how usefull or effective they actually are.

Besides, chainsaws don't actually have teeth, the inner side of the thread is what actually does the cutting as well as friction.

>>14407659

Disregard the last part, they have teeth after all. My sources (a guy that heard from a dude who saw someone using a chainsaw once) were not as accurate as I hoped.

>>14407728

It didn't speculate anything, in the movie soylent green was food made from corpses period. I like to have this theory that the trucks they used for crowd control were murder cubes that transported dissidents into soylent green processing facilities.

>>14407712

Are you sure you replied to the right post? The word practical isn't even in my or the anons I replied to post.

>>14407753

The only way bethesda can reasonably make a good game at this point is if they focus 100% of their efforts on making mechanical infrastructure and doing all the heavy lifting as a base for modders to add the real content

That will never ever happen, no executive suit that isn't a retard would just sit on one of the two IPs that seem to magically print money for the company. You better get ready for Fallout 5 in the 2020's.

>>14410308

That because you really like the concept of the series and just can't let go of it. The same way people hope shows to improve.

>>14410341

Why are you quoting me?

>>14410357

It'll come about 4-5 years after the next elder scrolls, which has no real signs of even being developed yet, so there's a chance it could be closer to 2030

And that's officially The Future, so it might as well not exist for us dumb pasties

>>14410357

I think Bethesda has realized any IP they make will print money, even a shitty old fart low RPG with shitty graphics that were already outdated when they came out. That's why they're currently developing 2 games based on a new IP, probably Starfield.

>>14410308

New TES will be better than Skyrim and very likely Oblivion, I'm sure about that. Todd Howard said he wanted to tone down the narrative in his game.

I'm replaying NV right now and coincidentally I did Honest Hearts today. It's almost impossible for you to miss this - it's fucking huge and takes up the entire canyon wall right outside the Dead Horse encampment. It just looks different in that picture because it's the texture and not a screenshot - in-game the rock wall isn't flat like that.

>>14393635

Honestly the only one I liked was ED-E

>>14410550

>not the todd edit.

>>14410494

As long as I I get to blow up the remains of Disney Land and kill Disney costume tribe fags.

>>14410563

>>14410554

Except it'd be Bethesda. Obviously actual Disney is off the table, they would never let their brands touch something like this. But even beyond that, you'd just get "Vault-Land" or "Nuka-World 2" because apparently only two companies exist in the entirety of the Fallout Universe (Poseidon Energy notwithstanding since they're just a name that's slapped on anything electricity/fuel related).

>>14410494

One NPC could be an 80s stereotype that wants to bring back disco, so he has you scrounge old night clubs and joints for vinyl records culminating in him building a stage to put on a show only for bandits to show up so you shoot them to cool 80s tracks. After that he opens a radio station or something.

>>14410618

There are a shitton of places you could open up for later expansions, too. Cape Canaveral, the Palm Beaches, the Everglades, and Miami all come to mind.

>>14410713

>What is it about these 70s-80s posters that feels so immersive? They succeed in conveying the story so perfectly.

You are experiencing real kino cinematography before the jew was fully involved. For example: Planet of the Apes was a late 60's production that although a little cheesy felt like a real movie with real stuff going on. Contrast that with the capeshit and kikery of late and everything feels *fake* in comparison. That's why some of my favorite sci-fi is 70's B-grade movies.

>>14410207

It's set to be released late this year I think, New California will also release soon, other big mods with also be coming out within the next 2 years so it's a good time for New Vegas modding.

>>14410309

That reminds me of this block of text that was made I think at least a year before release.

Metal Gear Survive™ begins with you creating a custom character just like MGSV, and once going through a basic movement and combat tutorial in the attack on MB in a ripoff homage to the first mission of MGSV, the trailer cutscene happens, and after going through another five tutorials with your comrades, the "Last and First Men," including strong woman who don't need no man and jive soldier boi, you begin a twenty hour long unskippable cutscene on the history of central Africa, which is where the game takes place so we can reuse assets delve deeper into the issues of soldiers on the battlefield.

After 200 hours that's really just the same 5 hours of shooting zombies "those who are lost" who turn out to be made from the bodies of child soldiers who were dumped into tar pits and had fused with the protozoic amoebas which were the precursors to the parasites, which give off radiant energy from the crystalized red rocks seen in the trailer, you discover a vast military conspiracy that is attempting to keep you from leaving. With help from "The Wizard," A child computer whiz turned political prisoner, and a mysterious man calling himself "Gary Murray" over short wave communications, you learn that you are in a "black site" code named "Camp Alpha," a dumping ground and testing site for technology and weapons made by the Philosophers using the south African government as a front. Later revelations reveal that the site is an inheritance from The Philosophers, and after a daring raid on the south African Lobito Island to rescue Murray, destroying Metal Gear KODOMO, a prototype bipedal weapon platform that utilized diesel fuel containing the parasites amoeba to overcome the limitations of previous war machines, you learn the awful truth, you and your comrades were recovered from the remains of MB by XOF, and left to fend for yourself in camp Alpha, so that you could clean up the failed prototypes that ultimately lead to the micro technology that dominated civilization later on.

The first events of the trailer were a near death hallucination brought on by PTSD, and the amoeba have given everyone a DEADLY MEME VIRUS, so even if you somehow escaped the site, you have less than 72 hours to live. The end game consists of a suicidal assault on a XOF compound that is coincidentally a modified camp Omega to destroy a rebuilt ZEKE that has been modified to launch biological payloads. The game ends with a fade to black of your squad fallen after barely defeating a reskin of KODOMO your past, with a post credits call revealing that the Patriots have recovered people from your base camp who have developed an immunity to the parasites nanomachines hypnotic suggestions Obama amoeba. There is no postgame.

You can trust me my uncle works in Konami's pachinko division.

People in real life jokingly call me Fallout Boy because my chosen lifestyle closely resembles the video game player. I am McGiver, living off Life Hacks. I just thought I should tell someone else.

>>14416524

I collect bottle caps. There is a brand of soda I like called "Jone's Soda" and the bottle caps are fortunes under the cap. I got at least 30 bottle caps from the past 2 years. I consider them lucky and some of them have come true. I go camping and make refuse out of liter. Does this interest you?

>>14416620

i shit on closed toilet lids until they put up instructions on how to use a toilet in the stalls

>>14416648

That's weird.

>>14416662

Fuck off, faggot. You might as well go hang out with furries with your deviations. I am doing noble things worldwide. Kill yourself.

The Enclave dindu nuffin they was good boys.

New Arroyans were starving it was a peaceful intervention.

>>14419055

New Vegas can be fun with a few mods.

The only problem is the bullet sponge aspect and how weak the guns feel, fix that and you're golden.

>>14419078

Just install the headshot damage mod :^)

>>14420066

Populated Casinos mod comes to mind

>>14392693

You're the king of faggots, LucasArts rushed out KOTOR 2, not Obsidian.

They were so fucking close to finishing it too, the restoration mods add hours of content back into the game that was just commented out because they didn't have time to bug check everything.

>>14420106

Every game they made with a publisher (i.e., when they were good) was mostly a mess at launch, and that's the excuse every single time. Even if it's true in one or two instances, it wears thin when it's trotted out every time. Obsidian makes buggy games, end of story.

New Vegas is probably their least buggy game, if you play it with the official patch, which is ironic considering that it's running on Bethesda's technology.

>>14420120

Bugs can be fixed by modders, shit design can't.

Which graphics mods are the best for NV and where can I get them without signing up?

>>14420286

Just make a throwaway nexus account.

>>14420314

They ban a lot of emails that don't require a phone number.

>>14420348

You just open the mods you want, make the account, and download the mods. Also my account doesn't have a telephone number attached to the mail address.

>>14420066

There was a spawn increase mod that also set faction patrols up and such.

>>14422630

funny that i should open up this thread again now and see this, thanks anon ill try those

>>14422630

Seconding B42 Weapon Inertia, that mod goes a long way to improving the feel of FNV gunplay

>>14420066

You're in luck, a mod called Living Desert just came out specifically made so the game doesn't feel so empty, can't really do it justice by describing it here, find it on the Nexus, came out a day or two ago

>>14410207

You have quest experience?

I've done literally everything in New Vegas, multiple times, I need a fix, what are the best additions of mod to have a completely new but still good experience of the game ?

>>14422747

You got my hopes up, but it's made by someone who just started modding, so it'll probably just fuck your game up.

>>14420348

>>14420314

>>14420473

I went ahead and made a nexus account and downloaded a bunch of graphics mods (and necessary scripts) through their mod manager but now the game won't start.

>>14426519

>Use http://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas for a lore friendly and stable modding experience. It's a good place to start. At the very least get the unofficial fixes and jsawyer ultimate

Thanks Bizarro Todd I'll try this tomorrow.

>>14426986

im pretty sure M$ stated they are going to stick with windows 10 from here on out.

>>14426519

can you upload an archive with all of your todds pls

>>14409752

Roll bitch

>>14426519

Please give us your todds.

>>14408089

A lot less jews in the movie industry back then, jews being fake unnatural shits themselves will mostly produce shit products. Past the 80's movies became really bland and cancerous in all kinds of ways. Especially cover art or posters got jew'ed badly.

Oh look a mod which replaces all the shit animations in game. I tried to webm, but it looks like garbage even with the full 16MB

>>14429608

All of the companies were founded by jews. There is no time at which there were “less jews” in the industry.

>>14410207

Same engine? If so: instant shit.

>>14409752

Why not. Roll.

>>14438088

Looks pretty neat visually. Would be interested to see actual gameplay and how it all works

>>14409752

Rollan

>>14438088

It's still in alpha though, been waiting for this for a while, I can wait longer, the final mod will be fantastic

>>14443056

Troika was in bad financial straights at the time, but their next major effort when they died was a Fallout game, since nobody else seemed to have any interest in the Fallout IP, and Troika seemed to be the only bidder. Then Bethesda swooped in out of nowhere and snatched it up. At that point, Troika had already sunk too much into the project, briefly shopped it around to publishers as another "Fallout with the IP filed off" without success (who'd want to compete against Bethesda?), and then ran out of money and disintegrated.

>>14409752

Rollan

>Do you have any hope for a future fallout

No. Bethesda hasn't made a good game since morrowind, and Obsidian is kill. New Vegas was the last Fallout game and let's be honest, it's only good in comparison to 3. And while i'm at it, every Fallout sequel has been inferior to the first game. Even when you look at the actual Fallout games (1, 2, New Vegas) the series has a horrible fucking track record, and looking at the abomination that was Fallout 4 gives you a pretty good idea pf what the series' future is; A borderlands clone with a nuclear apocalypse theme. It's time to let go.

Dream fallouts that will never be made

>New Vegas on an engine that isn't Gamebryo

>prequel is Van Buren where you can visit vegas before/during House's wake-up

>>14446041

I seen some vids on Wasteland 3 and boy! that shit has barely anything to do with Wasteland 2 and looks way more ugly than W2. which is a pretty big achivement if you think about how ugly looked W2.

>>14446020

I wouldn't be surprised if the California air is laden with particulate soy that turns everyone into a faggot

>>14446094

If it remains a top down squad based game then im happy that they are developing it.

Even though everything you said is probably correct.

How's Fallout: Frontier coming along?

>>14429570

It's probably more if you count all the permutations of ending sequences.

My only hope is for extensive porn mods that will result out of bethesda's retarded modding community.

>>14393649

AI is improved and can actually engage you long range now. Huge improvement in that regard. Weapons are retarded borderlans bullshit but the armor system is pretty expansive and cool with extra content from mods.

Give it another year or 2 then turn it into a stalker clone and let companions run the settlements for you.

If the melee fighting wasn't garbage I'd mod it into a Rorscach from watchmen RPG.

>>14450428

F4 community literally gave up last year. What fucking 2 more years you talking about?

>>14450443

There are still mods in active development. There's the NV Remake, probably never ever, that gave us the skill and perk systems back. There's Horizon that tries to unfuck the balance, a few other smaller tweak mods and new rifles.

It's not really dead just mostly. Hopefully modders will stop caring about their mods and we can get a new Wanderers Edition mod-pack/compilation.

>>14450471

>It's not really dead just mostly.

Do you read yourself?

>>14450480

Yes. It means it's not entirely dead and the people that still mod for it are dedicated autists.

>>14392396

>not nuking both NCR and Legion

>not creating your personal city state, with almost every minor faction as an ally, army of killer robots, hoover dam, big MT super technology, mountain of gold from sierra madre, trade routes all the way to Utah and maybe even to Boston etc.

Cuck, yes man ending = canon ending
