Re: Fallout ultiment edition

Is this Fallout 3 or Fallout New Vegas?

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

New Vegas. They did this with F3 as the Game of the year edition. I'd like this but since i already own the DLC i just need the 20.00 copy of NV from walmart.

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

I loved Fallout 3, and was super excited for New Vegas. I only ended up getting about 10 hours into it. The bugs/glitches drove me crazy, and made the game practically unplayable for me. I got so sick of the game freezing up and getting stuck in walls that I just gave up on it. I didn't pay attention to the patch releases, so I'm not sure if it's gotten any better. I'd love to get back into it again though.

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

One of the trickier parts in doing the DLC is knowing which order you want to play them in. You can almost shape how the story starts and where it ends. Do you start out by finding clues that lead up to the ultimate reveal, or do you start with the reveal and slowly discover what drove these characters to do what they did?

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

I've played New Vegas for more hours than I care to count and the bugs/glitches have been minimal - nothing that would make me want to say "Enough!"

Overall, I think Fallout 3 was better, but New Vegas had a pretty sweet feel to it. For me, the New Vegas crap-to-awesome ratio for the DLCs was much higher. Some of them were just plain awful while others were totally kick-ass (the final one was pretty awesome).

My only beef is that, playing the final Vegas DLC you come across all this cool weapon tech... Then you barely have a chance to use it.

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

Bethesda is really good at putting out a glitchy game and fixing it later which is why i got the GOTY edition of F3. NV was really glitchy for me. I want to know why NV wasn't that good considering some of the folks making it did fallout 2. I honestly think bethesda had them on a short leash with what they could do. Then again Bethesda's actually tearing apart and expanding the script/storyline for F3 that they got when they bought it from Interplay.

I had this problem on the PS3 version. I bought it for the PC off of steam back in December when it was 5 bucks. I modded it to the strip and back and it played okay. The occasional crash, but it was a far, far better experience than what I encountered on the console.

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

Just search for Fallout and you should find a lot of stuff. The main thing you'll find would be the AER laser rifle though. There's a lot of easy stuff you can do like Nuka Cola/Quantum, Mentats containers, Stimpacks, etc.

I was getting ready to replay Fallout 3 again. I always play Operation Anchorage first to get the T51B armor. Some people don't do that because they think it makes the game too easy. I like to feel like a tank though. Nothing is worse than a random encounter with a Deathclaw at an early level with weak armor.

Getting the T51 was always the best part of the original game too. Even if a deathclaw in the original could open it like can opener at times :lol

They give you the quest and tell you pretty much to go out and discove what's going on with it, I wouldn't recomend goin and doing the big mt dlc in the begginig its a terrible idea without good wepons a lot of aid and such

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

Meh, I decided to reinstall New Vegas and give it another shot, quickly became bored with it. Reinstalled Fallout 2, ended up playing for 6 straight hours. The first two Fallouts were an absolute blast, such amazing games. I think they've aged pretty well too. Had just as much fun as I did playing them for the first time back in 8th grade.

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

I played F3 like crazy, but I prefer NW. I have the xbox and no major issues with bugs.

The mood and dialoge is great. And IMO its one of few games that allows you to play an evil character and it still feels believable. Want to be a good Dr character, go ahead. Want to be a drug dealing lowlife just trying to get by, go ahead. You could be a slaver in F3, but the people around you didnt care what you did. Leave town a few day, and everything was ok. In NW your enemies will look for you if you decided to go against them. In one game I went gangster war and went for The Elvis guy in Freeside. After that I had his companions attacking me on sight all through the rest of the game.

Very nice storytelling, and the faction based system is great.

Yeah I like that it does that in this game more than the 3rd, it made it slightly a challenge, but I felt that fo3 was more of a challenge being a place that was directly hit by the atomic bombs unlike nv, and it was harder to get to and from places, where in nv, its a vast desert setting

Re: Fallout ultiment edition

I liked the faction concept in NV. That was by far a step above the karma system from FO3. Although, you'd think that the Legion would learn that death squads are completely ineffective past a certain point. Or maybe start sending two or three squads at a time.

Unfortunately, I thought that the weapon/damage mechanics in NV suffered greatly in comparison to FO3. It wasn't till I found out there was a bug in how the game calculates damage resistance. I could single round headshot super muties in FO3 with a hunting rifle (ah that was satisfying). No such luck in the Mojave. I also felt that VATS got nerfed.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

I liked the environment of Fallout 3 over NV. New Vegas was supposed to have survived without being attacked, but I just think Fallout 3 has more of a post apocalyptic feel. There were quite a few locations in NV that just had a building you couldn't enter or just nothing to do other than mark a spot on the map. I don't remember many of those in Fallout 3. The weapons and crafting (other than weapons) are better in NV though.

Also a lot of the things in Fallout 3 that helped fill out the environment were the computer entries and notes that told about things that happened near the end. NV didn't have many of those other than the entries at Black Mountain or the Survivalist's entries in Honest Hearts.

The journals and such make you feel like the world is more realistic in that people probably would keep journals if for no other reason than to pass the time. It would also have been nice to find a vault like vault 8 in Fallout 2 that wasn't a ruin. Personally I think areas you were in during Fallout 1 and 2 should have been able to be visited. Maybe in Fallout 4 as Bethesda has a lot more of the original Fallout 3 script to modify still.

 

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

I agree that was a cool part in Fallout 2 that you see a Vault that actually worked as intended. I'm hoping since the last two were so successful that the next version is already being made and just hasn't been announced yet. A lot of rumors, which may be nothing, are that it might be in MA and have something to do with the Commonwealth that is talked about.

I've also heard that when they make the net one they're going to be using the same platform that bethesda uses for skyrum:lol
