>>379430375
Yes.

>>379430375
It's one of my favorite games, if not my absolute favorite.

And no. I don't think it will. Not because it can't, but because the will for it is dying.

A man can hope

>>379430941
Edgy poles have nothing on Obsidibros.

RPGs with real choices and consequences are harder and harder to find. The late 2000s had a few good ones but now there ain't shit.

>>379430375
Regarding Fallout, no. FNV was a fluke and no modern Fallout game will come close, unless of course Bethesda suddenly loses the license.

There are better RPGs out there though.

>>379431373
You are so wrong.
Fallout 3 is alright, but it's nowhere near as good as 1, 2 or NV. It's barely even a Fallout game. Still better than 4 though.

>>379431441
You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.

New Vegas is a weird game in that it's littered with bugs and problems yet none can seem to take away from the overall quality of the game. I can make a giant list of the things I dislike about it yet I would rate it as a 9/10 or higher easily.

>>379431634
>Still better than 4 though.
In what way?

>>379431848
explain then

>>379431928
no infinite quest garbage

>>379430941
Nah, they don't know how to make a masterpiece like NV. They will just try to remake TW3.

>>379431919
Because certain design aspects of an RPG are way more important than everything else. It's why games like Skyrim are utter garbage no matter how many mods you install because they improve all the aspects that are not part of the core design philosophy of a proper RPG.

Literally FO4 is better. Idk why the fuck you retards pretend it isnt true.

>>379430941

It's going to be bland, cliched mediocre borefest like the other cyberpunk revival games. Screencap this.

>>379431928
At least 3 gives you the option to be evil and the sidequests are overall better than fo4. Not to mention you never get spammed with radiant quests.

Like what?

>>379432158
it was a slightly improved engine with slightly improved gunplay, everything else was trash
if they just remade NV in the fo4 engine it would have been billions better

>>379432225
Fair enough, I guess.

>>379432158

>The objectively bad game everyone, including the developers, forgot existed because even the mods can't fix it is literally better

ok kiddo here's a (You) i'm feeling generous today

>>379431919
It's just a testament to the game's quality and I feel the exact same way. The game's positives outweigh its negatives so much they're almost meaningless. Fuck me I love this game so much

>>379431928
It's frankly a better RPG, which ultimately should be the deciding factor when both games are marketed as an RPG. More choices, no voice protagonist, slightly better characters and story, better side quests, better exploration.

Lore wise they are both as bad as 4 is merely an extension of the stupid shit thrown at us during 3.

The big decider for me personally is that 3 has better DLC. Well actually only TWO of the DLCs in 3 are good, the rest of them are as bad, if not worse than 4's.

Don't give me the combat shit because it's dogshit in both games. I would honestly say 3's is better because of how completely underwhelming and crappy the animations of in 4. To this day I have no idea why people say 4 has better combat than NV.

>>379432226

Just install the different starting locations mod.

>>379432271
>everything else was trash

Such as??? Its literally the same shit as FO3, which is similar to NV. But with improved gunplay and engine like you mentioned. Along with Graphics and other little improvements.

>>379432271
Lets cross our fingers this motherfucker doesn't burn out making this.

https://youtu.be/KAJ4-03Bz84

>>379432226
Here is an idea, let the DLC define you.
>create a character
>loot up Goodsprings
>teleport yourself over to any of the DLC entrances and start it
I did this with HH, and my character ended up becoming a tribal/survivalist who uses a combat shogun as his trusted weapon, because frankly it was the best weapon I had which dealt with beasts and white legs.

>>379432235

Deus Ex HR and MD, Sattelite Reign and other assorted Steam trash.

>>379431941
Not him but you're flat out retarded if you think cyberpunk means "grungy dirty streets".

>>379432596
>its NV with worse gunplay and subpar RPG mechanics
Just get a texture pack and an ENB filter for fuck sake.

>>379432506

>Such as???

Quest????? Story???? Characters???????? Gimped RPG mechanics???????????????? Empty, uninteractive world?????????????????? You know, things that matter in an RPG series you fucking underage summerfag retard????????????????????

>>379432619
Deus Ex HR and Satellite Reign were solid games.

>>379432790

Yeah, "solid" being a universally recognized euphemism for cliched mediocrity.

>>379432747
Are you really going to pretend NV has better gunplay than 4? I mean NV is my favorite but come on. And they aren't changing the RPG mechanics you sperg.

>>379432506
It's not quite the same shit as fo3. That game didn't have nearly as much ammo and stimpaks as fo4. You rack up 500+ ammo every time you clear a place out and almost all enemies drop a stimpak. There's never a point where you feel weak or helpless at all.

I'm not pretending, I generally believe the gun play is better in NV. The ugly animations completely drag me out of the game in 4, that and everything else.
>And they aren't changing the RPG mechanics you sperg.
If they are using 4 as the basis, then yes, obviously they are by proxy of it being on a slightly different engine which handles RPG mechanics (namely stuff like dialogue) differently.

What's the best way to make DUST tolerable? is it even worth it? At the moment I've found that its full of such retarded bullshit that it isn't even worth it.

not that guy, but i also think that. i kept hearing about how improved the combat was in fallout 4 but when i finally got around to trying it, it was the same bullet sponge bullshit except this time everything looked and sounded like it was made of plastic, the animations were fucking abysmal, and the iron sights were too large to be accurate reliably. literally just new vegas but worse, i dont understand what people drool over

>>379433494
>RPGs aren't games because they focus on story
I guess silent movies aren't films because they have no dialogue.

>>379432372
I've been playing it on PC for the first time and there's so many things that get on my nerves but I still love the fuck out of it.

>>379433421
Check through the DUST mods to see if there's anything to fix the problems you're having with it.

I don't really like DUST but the story about how the mojave came to be in the state it is can be quite interesting.

>>379433494
Real RPGs have lots of dialog and explain the world in detail like NV. They don't just say these are the bad guys because they're bad

>>379432771
>Quest
Okay NV has slightly better quests. And? Neither are fucking great

>Story
Again BOTH are bad. But okay. NV has a slightly better one... for whatever thats worth

>Characters
How? Both are forgetable. This is pretty equal

>Gimped RPG mechanics
What the fuck? Since when are we pretending NV had deep RPG mechanics? Bethesda hasn't had deep RPG mechanics in forever

>Empty, uninteractive world
Empty? How? Definitely not any more than NV. F03 was probably the best in this regard

And as far as uninteractive, fucking how is it worse than NV?

>>379433693
install jsawyer, it removes easy karma for things such as killing fiends and ghouls

>>379430375
I'm at Novac right now, the game is honestly kinda boring. When does it become good?

>>379433786
Yeah, that's why I want to play it, its just a shame the author filled it with so much artificial difficulty.

It was already topped by fallout 1 and 2

>>379433848
They both had good companions. Boone, Cass, and Veronica for FNV and pretty much every companion in F4

>>379433928
It opens up when you get to NV. Consider the journey to NV as act one that introduces you to the main factions and whatnot.

>>379433693
At least karma has no real effect in Fallout NV except for the endings and companions.

>>379434089
But I'm already in Nevada, anon.

>>379433848
Did you play either? Have you played any previous Fallout game? Hell, have you ever played an RPG before?

Who am I kidding, this was clearly bait.

>>379433928
Once you hit level 15 or so and the character you're role playing as finally starts to come into form.

>>379433347
Objectively, 4 has better gunplay than New Vegas but New Vegas has better combat than 4. The problem is that people think gunplay and combat are the same, they're not. Gunplay is how the game feels and controls during combat, combat is how all the gameplay mechanics come together. New Vegas has the DT system and tons of different ammo types that mesh well together like AP rounds for high DT, HP rounds for low DT, Hand Loader recipes, etc as well as basic DR. In Fallout 4 you can literally kill a Mythic Deathclaw with a 10mm pistol because there is no DT system. That's stupid.

>>379432596

>>379435404
>As it is the map is fucking empty
It actually isn't if you go exploring like you're meant to. Most people don't. They just rush the DLC quest and leave.

>>379434952

Yes.
Is it any good?
No. Credit where credit is due, the mod clearly took time to make and in terms of what the amount of stuff it added, it's not too bad. The actual content is fucking abysmal. Let me run you through my experience.

>There is no true Legion option; you work undercover to remove the self insert Legion commander who has bright green hair for some reason
>Salt Upon Wounds is now a woman because reasons
>Randal Clarke is not mentioned once and all the stuff to do with him is gone

>>379435509
So you're actually a fucking idiot who can't read.

>>379435692
Are you that same retard that had to have basic literary concepts broken down in the FO4 thread yesterday? It would explain why you're calling people illiterate.

>>379434319
Exactly. Not to mention that NV is nearly gunporn at vanilla state and literally gunporn modded, while FO4 weapons are designed by a man who seems to not only not understand how guns work but actively believe that they work different and trying to enforce that belief.

>>379435559
This doesn't surprise me. On a related note, anyone played that path to Zion mod that doesn't replace the entire DLC?

>>379435559
lad the mod does a lot of shit terribly but you just didnt pay attention.

the mod author for some reason basically replaced the survivalist terminals with terminals from daniel, and when you help heal joshuas burns you get to see what happened to him that's being alluded to in the terminals. that was one of the most okay parts of the whole thing imo

i agree though, the concepts of having new canaanites and legion in the valley were good, but he also decided to block off huge chunks of the valley and make new tribes and companions instead of use the old ones

joshua doesnt lead those burned men btw, the basically follow the supermutant that worships joshua for being nice to him and then got all the burned men to follow him because they all think he's so amazing when he really just sits above them on his little perch and doesnt acknowledge them. decent potential but executed pretty badly

>>379434319
new vegas has better gunplay than fallout 4 by that definition. gunplay has to do with how the GUNS and weapons feel during combat. in new vegas they feel like they have weight and are powerful, in fallout 4 everything looks and sounds and feels like its made of plastic

>>379435840
Nope. And please, at least put some effort into your posts. Your grammar is also pretty horrible.

I have played both, and while NV had slightly better writing, it in no way is great and in no way makes it better than 3 outside of said comparison.

>>379436462

I never understood, why are dead money and lonesome road rated so highly? Imo in a pure content per dollar they offered a lot less because of their linear nature (yeah you could explore in DM but Elijah will chimpout and blow up your neck unless you know exactly what to do and when). HH anf OWB may be lacking in story, but at least they add enough content to justify their price, with relatively large new areas to explore.

>>379438324

>>379440127
I like DM mostly because of the atmosphere and nice bits of lore it adds to the game. Gameplay is a huge shift from the base game and isn't all that great. Feels more like a clunky survival horror game. OWB had the best map and the story isn't that randumb after a while. Good stuff. LR and HH where mostly tiring though the survivalist notes touched some of my funny spots.

It's twenty dollars, it's cheap enough that you should just get it regardless.
Also consider the fact that gog is DRM free so you can drop it on a flashdrive or external hard drive and use it on ANY computer immediately, also silly things can happen like getting logged out of your steam account before the internet goes out.

>>379441473
Should be sometime in the next two weeks.

>>379441226
The only problem I had with my temporary borrowed version was the 4gig ram mod which required steam. The devs somehow assumed I was pirating. Ridiculous.

I can imagine the gog version has the same problem.

>>379441625

Mods like TTW literally do not work on pirated versions and it's likely that the gog version would be the same.

>>379441787

Pretty sure I got that working.

Post some lists of mods to make the game look pretty. I did 3 play throughs earlier in the year on a 2010 PC, I got some upgrades and I'm ready for the game to look fancy. I've never done any of the DLCs for more than 5 minutes and I want them to look good.

>>379441878

I disagree with this heavily. The three factions who cannot let go (House-old world methods, NCR-old world values, Legion-old world stories) all are capable of providing a good ending, arguably one better than the only ending that does let go and forges a new future.

For christs sake half the game is about vengeance on a man who shot you and it rewards you for doing so with a valuable unique weapon, one of the best clothing items in the game, and the power to determine the fate of the wasteland. Imo the vibe I got is that it does not matter who you side with as long as you are a good person and try to do what's right because the quality of the main ending is centered soley around the player's karma.

Not him but the only thing Fallout 4 has over vanilla (I must stress vanilla, there's plenty of great mods for NV to make the combat infinitely better) New Vegas is the "feel". It's hard to explain fully but in Fallout 4 shooting guns just feels nice in the same way that shooting guns feels nice in Call of Duty and enemies in F4 also react to what's happening as the battle goes on. But it terms of balance, enemy variety and encounter variety, even vanilla NV shits all over Fallout 4.

>>379443163
Fun fact: the gunplay in Fallout 4 was outsourced to id Software.

All karma does is shift how the faction you sided with views you. Nothing more, nothing less. Other than that, it does nothing. The ending is still the same regardless. The only exception is Yes Man.

Isn't this mainly due to fallout 4 tying enemies to level cap though? I feel like fallout 4's actual enemy types were more plentiful (though maybe less iconic) and fallout 4 also used more named enemies with special tactics, movesets, and properties (ie swan).

>>379442931

>>379431373
Fallout 3 is a strange game. I spend ~50 hours in it and can't remember much. It's probably the video game equivalent of smoking crack all day. It's all vain but somehow I couldn't stop.

>>379443727
>I feel like fallout 4's actual enemy types were more plentiful
Nope. They reskinned a bunch of enemies and turned them into new "types" which were tied to a rubber-band level cap, but it has fewer actually differentiated enemies than NV or 3 before DLCs.

>more named enemies with special tactics, movesets, and properties
Actually, it's only dependent upon what type of enemy they are. Swan fights like any other behemoth.

Again, I did note that enemy types were less iconic. Pretty certain 3 had even less.

Doesn't the swan fight totally overturn the concept of fighting a behemoth though? with he way behemoth fights are typically structured, the player is taught to initiate on them, from a distance, with stealth and a fat man. The fact that swan gets the jump on you in a semi enclosed space massively changes the dynamic of the fight.

>>379435282

New Vegas has 100 differentiated creatures in the base game. 3 has 43. 4 only has 28.

>Doesn't the swan fight totally overturn the concept of fighting a behemoth though? with he way behemoth fights are typically structured, the player is taught to initiate on them, from a distance, with stealth and a fat man.

You realize you can attack Swan first, yes? You don't need to wait for him to aggro. In fact, Swan is even easier to engage than a normal behemoth because of how easy his attacks are to dodge. He's soloable with a few chems from at least level 7 because crippling any limb makes him unable to attack. His attacks are the exact same as a normal behemoth though. The only actual differences between Swan and a Behemoth is that he has more resistances due to the boat armor and he wields an anchor instead of a hydrant.

I've got a soft spot for Honest Hearts. The setting is really comfy, I like the tribals and Randall Clarke's diaries are the best writing in the whole damned game. That said I do wish there was more to do there, particularly after you finish the questline. If the caravan company set up a little trading post there after the main quest and you could move into one of the fishing cabins it would be a fun setting to dick around in.

Not the same dude; but I've read articles where they more or less admitted that the dialogue system was a mistake.

I haven't seen anything where they admitted that getting rid of skills or equipment deterioration was a mistake.

I think we all wish that we'd get New Vegas level's of complexity back (I really, really, miss ammunition types); but there's definitely a normie market for the dumbed down experience as much as we may hate it. My hope is that we get something like hardcore mode back so that they can have a dumbed down version for the slobbering masses and a complex version for the fans.

to be quite honest, fallout 4 survival mode was much more fun+challenging than new vegas hardcore mode, i hope they do something like that again, but also alter the balance of the game, by giving the player a suit of power armor to basically start the goddamn game, once you get some perks to maintain and mod it, survival stops being the "what is going to oneshot me today" experience it was pre-power armor.

Many of my normie and chad friends that also enjoy fallout come to the consensus that the dialogue was heaps better in 3 and nv. They also believe that the fallout 4 perk system was restrictive and less intuitive than that of 3 and nv (although they weren't a fan of traits).

Fallout 4s only mechanical change is human ai using cover dynamically, which is pretty much needed with the way 4s levels were designed, but isn't really necessary to New Vegas. Beyond that, the only changes it brought were cool sounds and flashy animations.

I mean I guess you can take Intense Training for damned near every perk and max all the SPECIALs to 10; but it would be a really retarded build.

>>379449592

Maxing all the skills is pretty easy.

You could max all the SPECIAL stats; but you'd be passing up a lot of perks that would be more useful than maxing SPECIAL.

Honestly, I hated Fallout 4.

>>379449676

The Shadowrun series isn't too shabby.

Not really, I plan out a stat maxing strategy before each play through because I have OCD over that shit.

My favorite build ends up with 8 Strength, 8 Perception, 8 Endurance, 6 Charisma, 9 Intelligence, 9 Agility and 6 Luck.

That includes the Implants and the boost to stats you get from Old World Blues and Lonesome Road.

I could throw more into SPECIAL; but that configuration lets me get all the perks I want and eventually you get to a point where you'd rather have more perks than more SPECIAL stats.

If you generally believe that than you are one boring fucking guy. I play games to be immersed. I'm guessing by "gameplay" which is a broad fucking term you are referring to combat. Combat is not enough for me to enjoy a game. If that was the case than I'd still be playing Blood or Ninja Gaiden Black to this day as they are the pinnacle of combat in games in both their fields. But I can't because I can only enjoy killing a group of enemies so much. I'd much rather find myself enthralled in a new living, breathing, responsive world. Games as a medium are so much more than just goblin killing simulators. You are solely limiting yourself to the most barebones a game can get by only playing games with good "gameplay" (combat).

Fuck this happened to me with dragon age. I didn't particularly like the characters and didn't get blown away with the gameplay but goddamn I got enthralled with that game.

>>379435282
wasn't fallout a game series really about the 1980's? and reagan-era nostalgia for the 50's (happy-days), etc... being used as a cover for nefarious and paranoid behavior by the government.

I do not understand the love for New Vegas. I didn't like it. It was poorly balanced, was stylisticly confused, and too linear. The DLCs were good... For the most part. I disliked it not being open ended too. Especially when there wasn't a reason for it not to be. Speech was far too important. There is just a laundry list our stuff that bogs it down. Fo3 was tight. NV was just flopping around all over the place.

>Kill yourself faggot, go read a CYOA goosebumps book,it has the exact same shit as NV does
Oh really? It seems like you are just parroting the /v/ contrarian meme that RPG's are bad because they aren't solely locked to killing mobs of enemies. Again games are about interaction, being enthralled into worlds whilst still having full control of myself. Books can't do this I can only observe what goes on I can't ever explore. Sure in CYOA's I can choose to go this path or this path. But what if I want to go halfway down this path, than cross through the woods to the other one to surprise attack a group of enemies? Or maybe I don't want to choose a path and maybe just climb the mountain by the side?

I've already been doing exactly that.
As something different I went straight east to the Abandoned BOS bunker and did DM from level 1. It wasn't really hard at all as well.

Almost right after I headed up to Zion and just finished it.

>which shit like reading fucking pages long dialogue isn't
NV has about 5 sentences per dialogue at most. Are you fucking illiterate or something? Do you equate any game with dialogue to be some pre 2000 CRPG or something? Hell not even games like BG or Planescape had that much reading. You are just so fucking childish that you have to hyberbole any sort of reading in a game to be equal to reading a book.
I don't see what the fuck is so bad about games having dialogue? As long as the game isn't a fucking literal book it's fine. NV has plenty of combat, and plenty of directions you can choose in it. Melee, guns, explosives, energy, stealth, companions, etc.... Seriously list out some good games for me I'd love to hear about them.

>THEN READ VISUAL NOVELS OR CYAO BOOKS
Again I don't understand why immersion and choices gets you so fucking triggered. Seriously explain to me why games can not have these things.

>>379454830
I guess he just hates games being open to the player and wants every game to be a carbon copy of Doom. The reason games like NV and BG are so replayable is due to the amount of freedom they give the player. Some playthroughs I help Goodsprings against the Powder Gangers, than walk my way to Primm to kill the gang in the hotel.Or maybe I slaughter Goodsprings and then use the slealth boys to sneak my way past the Deathclaws to Vegas praying to god they don't see me. Choices in games literally do nothing but good. It's the reason almost every person who plays Vegas has over 100 or 200 hours. Because the second you play through it you already want to see if you can do it another way. Down another route, go this way or that way, etc...

>>379455391
Also the "muh go play a VN" doesn't mean shit because the only choices in those are whether to go down this path or this path. Most of the time having no difference other than. "This one is full of wolves and the second one is full of cats!".

Objectively wrong

>Melee, guns, explosives, energy, stealth, companions, etc….

Melee is just a button masher

Guns and everything else are used every 30min-2hours then back to DIALOGUE or Walking Sim

>Seriously list out some good games for me I'd love to hear about them.

Mario 64

Nocturne

Doom

Gran Turismo

Red alert

Super Metroid

War of the monsters

Pong

Centipede

Thief

Crackdown

Goldeneye 64

Ultima

>Seriously explain to me why games can not have these things.

Because they aren't gameplay, just muh feels crap that is generic and can be applied to anything from Visual novels to being a LAARPing dumbass

>>379456253

Already can tell you've never played a second of NV. As previously stated dialogue in NV is never more than 5 - 8 sentences. With the exception of major events like talking to Lanius or Mr. House. Which can all be quickly evaded simply by choosing the "I got to leave" , " I'll help you" or "I'm going to kill you" box.n to destination is so fucking hard man. Never do you have to wait in dialogue unless you want to learn about that character or a certain topic. Wihch is far more interesting than simply reading it off some codex in the menu. You're also acting as if walking 5 minutes from destination to destination is such a chore. Almost all the time along that walk is a group of enemies. Whether it's Deathclaws, cazadores, bandits, or bloatflys. The walking is never a chore due to the excellent soundtrack whether it be ambient or radio, atmosphere, and art design.

>Because they aren't gameplay, just muh feels crap that is generic and can be applied to anything from Visual novels to being a LAARPing dumbass
Who the fuck are you to define what "gameplay" is, something so fucking broad it refers to over 50 something genres of video games. Like another poster stated Visual Novels offer nothing that a game does with the exception of cheesy dialogue choices. Never do I specifically move my character to a character, location, or enemy. Never am I in control of the character. All I do is make the decision of whether my character likes this guy or not. Goes down this ugly path or not. Games have so much more potential than to be locked to one specific genre. Why can't a game have choices and good gameplay? Something that NV has. Also I like how you list games like Thief, and Super Metroid which wouldn't be nearly as liked if it weren't for the excellent atmospheres the games have. Something you openly stated doesn't belong in games .

>>379456253
Almost none of the games you listed are specifically solely gameplay. Almost all of them are good due to the fact that they had time put into things that aren't solely combaytsuch as; art design, story, atmosphere, or music. The only game there that really fits into the category of just combat is Ultima.

>>379449000
Could I get a quick rundown?

>>379456253
Do you just hate replayability and discussion of games or something? You know there's a reason that there's always a New Vegas thread with over 400 replies a day yet you never see anyone discussing or even mentioning Ultima or Centipede anymore. Because they literally have one thing to their name and that is their gameplay (combat).

>>379450502
You obviously haven't played a game with a lot of reputability and mileage. That or you just disdain those that likes something you don't.

You already decided to dislike it at the get go. How the fuck do you expect to understand anything else?

My mistake Pong and Centipede are literally pure combat. Same reason why nobody can be bothered to play them for 5 minutes. Same reason why you never see them mentioned except when people are discussing about the first games ever made.

He's a neanderthal who doesn't understand the benefits of story telling. He is an uncultured, anti-intellectual, moron who wants to shoot brown people and not care about who they are apart from the "fact" that they are "objectively bad" and should be killed. You are engaging in a battle of wits with the unarmed.

That said, New Vegas wasn't gods' gift. I wouldn't say it's any step up from Fo3 either. Fo3 is a tight, safe little game that does what it was meant to and little else. New Vegas is an over-designed under developed mess. It's a big, empty, linear game with compact nodes of substance that are ultimately really shallow and underwhelming.

I genuinely do not understand why people deify this game so much. I played it and enjoyed it but it was literally just Fallout 3 with the top ten gameplay mods already installed and marginally better writing. If the atmosphere and setting really work for you then awesome, that's great, but I don't really see anything else special about it.

>>379467458
It's less popular than Fallout 3, therefore better. It's like 16 year olds who refuse to listen to anything on a major label, because they're "punks". It's /v/ being tiresome faggots.
