Fallout: New Orleans at E3 this year?

Hardly enough porn with vampires either.

Anyway, vtmb is great. It might be a game you need to kind of push yourself through at the start though. Yknow, like, when there is a game that is really good but you've never played it and now that you want to try it out because it is dated you feel like something's missing, like it doesn't resonate with you. With some of those games you need to try and abandon whatever expectations you have and just slowly let yourself soak in it until finally it clicks and you've adjusted to what the game is rather than what you thought it was gonna be and you can begin to immerse yourself fully.

...

Does that make any sense to anyone else? Cause it's what it has been like for me with some games that are dated. I just find their controls so clunky, the levels so scant, the animations so poorly done and it just feels unpolished, like I'm playing a game that will never take off that has been produced by pre-made Unity assets. Like, I have a modern mindset and I need to kind of flick the switch in my head and return to a 90's/early 2000's mindset of what a game is supposed to be like.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Still, you might have too much of a modern mindset to try out vtmb, my suggestion is to keep at it for another hour or so and see if it clicks or not. If it still doesn't then I guess you can't do it. It sucks when something everyone says is awesome is old and dated and because of that you just can't get into it.

Yep, you described it quite well to be honest. The next stage for me is actually admiring the game for what it is, I mean, maybe the graphics are dated for today's industry, but considering when the game was launched, and considering other games we had at that time, it might be a bloody good job worth of admiration. And even comparing with the industry today, there are older games that look bad technicaly speaking, but at the same time they look very original and singular, while today we have amazing technology but boring as fuck art stile, uncreative settings that we already experienced more then a million times.

For example, I'm playing for the first time Planescape Torment, the very first moment in the game it was kinda painfull, to master the UI and all that, now I'm fully immersed and the graphics does its job just fine, in fact, I'm much more immersed then I thought I would be, fucking great settings this game has, the music is top quality as well imo. Sometimes the graphics are shit but the art stile is great, Silent Hill 1 is a great example of this I think, PS:T as well.

Not to mention some old games that has shitty graphics but amazing soundtrack! Sometimes I feel that sound design is even more important then graphics for immersion.
 
I wonder when's Fallout: New Orleans going to be set, along with that I wonder if it'll give us a canonical ending to Fallout New Vegas.
 
Imagine that the FNV by Obsidian never happened, and it was instead Bethesda who made a Fallout game featuring what had been Las Vegas. And the incentive to the main story is finding your son, and the character system is F4's. Also, voiced player character. You know the rest.

Apply the same principles to New Orleans or whatever became of it, a setting with so much potential, and you know it would all too likely be wasted in the hands of Bethesda.
 
It feels almost like an exclusive privilege. Be a Fallout fan, and you get to hear Mark Morgan music. Not many others in this world will ever hear "My Chrysalis Highwayman"
 
Ugh. I see this and I'm very disappointed. It's highly unlikely we'll get Fallout 5/NO/etc. this year, and even more unlikely it'll be Obsidian's work. If it is, and it's coming, I will be thoroughly amazing and completely enthralled.

I got chills again. Damn i still remember the confusion a had during first few hours; "what the, is that a skull, whoo, why do i find this female zombie strangely charming, wha.. did i just died? why, ah... i just resurrected"...

This song on the background trying to tell me this is an epic story yet i'm putting on an act as a zombie so i may escape from a morgue; looking like this in the process:

I doubt that Fallout will die.

It's just too much fun to toy with all the cute little factions.

Yep, join one - kill the other two. Great interaction there.

Bethesda killed Fallout with this steaming pile.

Not necessarily talking about Fallout 4.

I'm talking about the series as a whole, and how unique and special all the factions are.
 
Ahh, fair enough then... I still think we've been dished up the demise of the Fallout series. I can't see them going back to anything like the gameplay in the previous games, why would they when so many mouths cried out that FO4 was just so awesome that they couldn't fall over themselves fast enough to be able to yell at GoddHines "Shut up and take my money!" ? Most of those who lauded the latest in the Fallout series have no clue about quality, only quantity.

If Bethesda aren't going to go back to the strengths that made previous Fallout games great - then I personally consider the series dead. Of course I'll check in now and then on FO5 if it ever happens, which it will because money and bethesda are like a fish and water.

I want to get into that game so bad because I have a HUGE thing for vampires. It's really stupid but my biggest hangup is I don't like the way the characters you have to choose from look. It's so superficial but it REALLY starts to bother me.

I had the same problem. I couldn't play until I found skins I liked. There are a bunch on ModDB, planetvampire, vampire-network.

Also, Wesp5's unofficial patch and Nivea's eye-replacer mod are pretty much mandatory. Lt-47's weapon sounds mod, too.

I might have to check those out. Been getting a bit back into the Vampire groove lately.
