    Will you play Hardcore mode from the get go?

    :roll: I was talking Fallout 3's game mechanics. Keep up. That's basically what this all comes down to. It's a game mechanic. It doesn't have to make sense, it just has to work. ...Oh shit, I shouldn't have said that here *runs away*

    Will you play Hardcore mode from the get go?

    Maybe it should should be called hunger or sustenance rather than dehydration to avoid confusion, but the point is hunger is still represented, just not with it's own meter. It would be a pointless hassle to do so.

    Will you play Hardcore mode from the get go?

    I think it's been confirmed that Dehydration meter can also be lowered by food. Just not as much as finding a water source. So food you find in the wasteland will actually have a point beyond increasing health (and really, it didn't effect it enough to even bother).

    European magazine New Vegas preview listing

    ...Well, it almost is. The NCR aren't obviously. But this new look for them may have been "inspired" by Killzone, even subconsciously. Muh, I'm not complaining, I love it.

    Finnish magazine Pelit previews Fallout: New Vegas

    Well aren't you the master of comedy. :| If your going to post do something constructive it with it. Suggest a solution. Or a variation. Or why it got boring for you. Don't just blindly insult someone when you have nothing to offer. It's pretty sad that someone would spend any amount of...

    Can NV take note from Point lookout

    Still can't say I understand it. I raise an eyebrow every time I read a comment along the lines of "Fallout 3 such shit, on my third playthough..." :crazy: I find stuff like this surprisingly often. It's nuts! I apsolutely adored the game and I've only played though it twice...

    Can NV take note from Point lookout

    It was the best DLC for Fallout 3 and had moments that surpassed anything the original had to offer. It invested in what the game was best at (exploration and random findings) had a decent story with some interesting characters and sequences and was rather more challenging than most of the game...

    Finnish magazine Pelit previews Fallout: New Vegas

    I didn't have that big a problem with the death animations (exploding heads never get boring) but I was irrataited by how artificial it was. There are two major things that need to change. -Use scripted animations as well as rag doll. It is possible to have both, Left 4 Dead manages it with...

    Will you play Hardcore mode from the get go?

    While I wouldn't say it was "ridicilously" easy I agree. Generally I play games on normal mode and no higher (hell, when I played Fallout 1 I set the combat to wimpy). I play games for the experience rather than the challenge. The problem was the best moments of Fallout 3 were the first 8...

    Will you play Hardcore mode from the get go?

    For those who don't know (I'd be shocked if you don't) Fallout New Vegas will have a gameplay option known as Hardcore mode. It will make the game more challenging, but is separate from difficulty settings as it effects fundamental gameplay mechanics rather than simply allowing a Raider to take...

    French gaming magazine previews Fallout: New Vegas

    I didn't know it had a different name. But my point still stands. It's the Stratosphere. In the Fallout universe. I am assuming this trend will continue. And with Caesar's Palace it makes sense to keep the name, considering it'd make a perfect head quarters for Caesar's Legion (and judging...

    French gaming magazine previews Fallout: New Vegas

    I think it's pretty clear that landmarks as Iconic as Caesar's Palace will be in there. But different. Stratosphere Tower is in there for one thing. Obsidian really do have themselves a very interesting setting to play with; Vegas was very, very different in 1945-50. So essentially they can...

    Muh...At least it's original.

    Three things I honestly don't get in Fallout 3.

    Surely this can be explained away with pre-war technology. Maybe they found a way to keep it fresh for a very, very long time. That's what I assumed with most of the food in Fallout 3. If you look at 1950's packaged and canned food it's no joke that very little of it actually real food, much...

    Simply making a system similar to Fallout 2 car system could actually solve the problem quite well I believe. The car could work almost exactly like the fast travel system; you can only get to a location in your car if you've been there. The difference would be that you obviously need to get...

    PC Gamer US Preview Scans

    I don't know about you but I got exactly that feeling early on the game. In most modern RPGs you start of strong and get stronger. In Fallout 3 you start off weak as hell. At the time when I first played it I had to get into a very different mindset. There are almost zero games where they throw...

    It takes a lot less time to walk from one end of the map in Fallout 1 or 2. It was just the area it represented that was bigger. While I agree with a certain amount of the complaints about Fallout 3 people saying it was smaller than the first 2 games makes me face palm. Because it's just...
