For most of the internet this place still holds the stereotype of what it was (supposedly) like in the mid to late 2000s. I’ve seen people claim that NMAers hate New Vegas with a burning passion, which is provably untrue if you’ve spent more than 5 minutes browsing here.
That's good. I learned the hard lesson of FOMO and "Micro"-transactions from that game (believe it or not, I hadn't played a game with that apart from CSGO and TF2 where I just used the marketplace to buy the things I wanted for actual microtransactions) as well as the daily limitations and rewards that encourage players with addictive personalities (me) to come back day after day to stay the hell away from games like that.
Yes, if you can't control yourself, don't fall to Bethesda's money-making scheme.
Oh, I've already player Fo1 and Fo2. My opinion? FUCKING AWESOME! I clocked like 18 hours on both games, and while I don't spend most of my time in the dialogue options, I actually think the gameplay is amazing. There's just something about melting traders near the hub random encounter with a turbo plasma rifle while im in Hardened PA just shredding people. Fallout 2 reciprocates this and has funny moments too. So far in fo2 I've discovered just about every location except for 4, and for Fallout 1, I'm completing the rest of the game before I fight the master (though I find there's not much to do in Fo1. If you know where any quests/content are pls tell me! Tactics crashes alot tho :/. Ty!)
Pretty much this yeah. Bethesda's Fallout's would be downright enjoyable if they were considered FanFic or spinoff dont'cha think?
Eh eh, it's always funny to see people struggling with Cazadores, I mean with Entomologist and Better Criticals perks they are fairly manageable, sniping them is the best way or if you feel for a more up close and personal two-handed melee is great too (not the Super Sledge though, but Fire Axe (and Knock-Knock have better reach), or cripple one wing and they are pretty much done, heck even a Flamer is great against them. For me, it was the Super Mutant Overlords, Feral Ghoul Reavers, and the Albino Radscorpions (all added from Broken Steel DLC in FO3, their HP pool or damage resistance was just ridiculous), Reaver's are much easier in NV (I think they have less HP, and we have a better choice of ammunition types like the Hollow Point to deal with unarmored foes and AP ammo for the opposite situation). In fact, funny to see that Beth Fallouts lack any ammo types (it sucks, to say the least), and Fallout 4 lacks weapon diversities (and I despise the Legendary drop system, it make the FEW already unique weapons rewards or already placed obsolete). The fact that they have sold over 13.5 units/copies of FO4 is beyond, people are gone mad, to encourage a greedy company like that ...I find your lack of mentioning New Vegas disturbing.
True, I suppose some players first encounter very well might just be the ones to the north of Goodsprings as that would make them the first enemy you encounter in the game.
Thanks for the education, I didn't play NV on release so I never experienced the unpatched Cazadores (but I experienced the unpatched Fallout Dust tunnelers detection bug, when you're crouched they detect you more easily to not say almost instantly from very far and they, most of the time, are in packs and WILL outrun you), I first played NV in 2011 if I remember correctly. Of course, like many others, I've tried to go North from Goodspring right away, after a very brief encounter leading to my death I said to myself "Well, fuck it ... South it is". Same the first time I met the guy from Sloan (was around level 10) who warned me about the Deathclaw at the Quarry (of course I wasn't equipped to deal with them), I was like, you won't discourage me in my quest of domination of the Wastes, it was the second time that I told myself, "Fuck it let's go South", then I stray to Black Mountain ... (got my ass kicked ... again). After that, I simply swallowed my pride and did go clear Ivannah Race Track instead ... Lesson here is to not bite more than you can chew. What a nice game, I'm the kind that likes to get put in place from time to time in games. Would have been nice that they keep a variant of Cazadores that keep this level of difficulty though.
Pretty much this, for me
Picked up NV a week ago and the cazadores are laughable by level 30
