I don’t know how you guys can play that series. I tried one of the games (can’t remember which) for about an hour. I would have broken my Xbox, multiple controllers, and probably my TV had I struggled through the game. BP must have been through the roof…

Jumped back on Fallout New Vegas this weekend. I forgot how good that game is (Fallout III is my favorite game and I think 2nd best game ever made). Ended up playing through a couple of the DLCs, Lonesome Road & Heart something. They were both pretty good. Lonesome Road was the better of the two and took longer. It also offers a couple of interesting endings.

If anyone hasn’t played Fallout III or New Vegas I’d highly suggest jumping on them. I think they both have a GOY edition with all the dlc’s.

Honestly, the game is 100x easier once you get the patterns down and start to understand when the enemies telegraph their moves. It’s still kinda hard, and Level 1 runs are always hard as shit, especially without summons let alone reliable friend ones. Sooner or later when you trial and error through the game enough times, you just start going through the motions and pick up a specific kind of path to take through the game that makes it a hell of a lot easier.

Speaking of which, always take the Master Key. Twas probably Dark Souls, where you start off in the insane asylum and the guy kicks a body down into the cell with the key on it? You have to be kinda patient for either Souls game, but the payoff is heeyuge.

Well see that’s the thing right there, you struggle through it. You bleed for every step and it makes the final victory that much sweeter.

I think it was Dark Souls. I suppose that’s true maybe I’ll give it another try. That’s what GameFlys for!

Bought a controller for my PC just so I could play that game. Because God help you if you try to keyboard and mouse it lol.

Oh christ yeah, I never opted for PC Gaming most of the time solely because I was so fucking inept with the KB & Mouse to actually be able to properly play the game. I couldn’t imagine having to gun through the whole of Dark Souls on it, I can’t count the amount of times my friend let me play it on his PC and I fell off Anor Londo, think I cost him upwards of 30 hard-earned humanity from his invasions.

YAS csulli, you’re one of the lads!

Finished The Last of Us today, I liked the ending. Can’t really say much else for fear of spoilers lol.

Hell yes, Fallout III and NV are two of the best games of this console generation. Both are better than Skyrim in my opinion.

I actually prefer New Vegas slightly over Fallout 3. Its more of an expansion, but thats not a bad thing. It takes everything good about III, expands about it, and puts it in a more interesting and fun location with more interesting factions. Ive played through that game 3 or 4 times now.

Ya, I get what your saying. I have thoroughly enjoyed both. I guess I liked DC more so than NV to explore. It does feel like an expansion, which is why I think I like it a little less. After playing the GOY addition of FO III to 100% completion, it felt like a GIANT DLC. Not a bad thing at all.

Also the way I look at it is NV wouldn’t be the same game without the breakout III was. It’s the same reason I still put The Legends of Zelda above The Legends of Zelda Ocarina of Time on my “best” list. Both games defined their generation (NES & N64), both revolutionized gaming, but Ocarina wouldn’t exist without the original. Hell a lot of the appeal was seeing characters we’ve known for years become 3D.

It’s just how I look at things I guess.

This could be fun. List your top 5-10 games of all time.

1a. Fall Out III
1b. The Legends of Zelda
3. The Legends of Zelda Ocarina of Time
4. Golden Eye 64
5. Call of Duty IV: Modern Warfare
6. Fall Out New Vegas
7. Super Smash Brothers Melee
8. Mario 64

That’s all I can thin of off the top of my head. I’m sure many people will have a very different list.

system · July 8, 2013, 9:08pm

Unreal Tournament 99
Killing Floor
Elder Scroll Series
Fallout Series
The Witcher Series
Battlefield 3
Crysis 1
Portal Series
Thief Series

Good challenge. Mine are in no order.

Alien VS Predator 2 PC - First online gameplay I ever experienced, used to be awesome spawn killing all night long lol.
Star Wars Dark Forces 2 Jedi Knight PC - Was a tough choice between this, Jedi Outcast and Republic Commando for top Star Wars PC game.
Timesplitters 3 - Hours upon hours have been pumped into playing this game with friends on virus mode.
Star Wars Battlefront PS2 - The first one in the series is my preferred one, preferred the maps and the AI actually listened to you.
Metal Gear Solid 3/4 PS2/3 - I have to put both games, it’s too hard to choose between them!
Pokemon Red Gameboy - Probably my most played game of all time.
Crash Team Racing PS1- Best cart racing game ever.
Star Wars Episode 1 PS1 - Horrible movie, but the RPG elements of this game were fantastic.
Spiderman 2 PS2 - Doesn’t need explaining!
Wolfenstien 3D PC - The first game I ever played.

Isn’t it so annoying to wonder how it would have turned out had they gone in the other direction with Ellie’s character at the end? I loved the ending because it fits perfectly with Joel’s personality and it keeps up with the darkness of the rest of the game quite a bit, but I still would have loved an alternate, even if it’s just an extended cutscene slapped on in an unlockables section.

I liked it because personally it’s what I would have done in the situation, it’s nice for a game to show how you can be humane yet not care for humanity.

I genuinely thought I was too late coming into the room, heart was pounding haha.

You were right about the winter part, definitely the strongest part of the game and the most tense.

Yeah, the winter part was incredible. I was even awkwardly charmed by that slapped-on boss fight they had, and I adored the cutscene that followed it. Yeah, I enjoy when things are never black and white. I’d like to think I’d make the opposite decision as Joel, but I’ve never had kids, or even a little sister or something.

I loved the boss fight haha, was the most terrified I had been all game when he was sprinting about with the machete. Yeah the cutscenes after was just great, it’s great for games to actually have character development, the fate speech reveal made me lose my mind lol

For me personally I just see the choice made as a statement that a cure for the virus isn’t humanity’s saviour, but learning to trust and care for others rather than making cold calculated decisions is. Fits with the Romereoesque theme that the true antagonists of the games are truly the humans.
