Fallout series

Oh yeah definitely there is nothing quite getting out of that vault, go to the small town and explore the school and OH SIHT ANTS and then going to Novac and everything. That first time you go to the Super-Duper Mart, etc...

Those first 10-12 hours of Fallout 3 were fucking magical.

There may as well be a magical moment in any of the Fallout games. With 2, there was a magical feeling I got when reaching a place like New Reno, a place similar to New Vegas only with an uglier, seedier meth face and four families wanting to control it. There was also San Francisco which in a way make one wonder, just how powerful did the Shi get after Fallout 2. Would they of been assimilated by NCR? Be nice of 4 to expand on that but that could lead to problems. Finally, there was also reaching Navarro. Anyone that played New Vegas would learn through Cannibal Johnson about a nasty drill sergeant. Here is said drill sergeant in action:

Was that Oxygen meter in NV always there? I don't remember it being there.

Yeah, New Vegas doesn't really give you much places to drown yourself in like with 3 and 4. On the bright side, it had a lot more content to offer.

No in the same way, not in the same scope. When it comes to Fallout 1, the very first time you got out of the vault your first thought wasn't 'Holy shit, this is incredible!', it was 'Why am I getting killed by rats' then it was 'why am I getting killed by every enemy i meet' then 'WHY AM I DYING SO MUCH I HAVENT EVEN REACHED A VILLAGE OR ANYTHING'.

Yes there were plenty of great and incredible moments in Fallout 1 and 2, don't worry I'm not gonna deny the orthodoxy and say that 3 was better. However the fact is still that those moments (getting out in the world for the first time, that blinding light, looking at the world around you not knowing what to expect at all, that creepy school, entering Megaton for the first time and Super-Duper Mart) were fucking incredible and the reason why it was GOTY and why so many people spent hundreds of hours playing it over and over even though it had annoying parts to it like those tunnels etc...

Novac and the ants are from NV for sure my man. Unless you mean the ant superhero guy in canturbury in 3.

I always murdered her for her mask so I never got far in dialog ( as in a would kill her and blow her body up into chunks with a combat shotgun and take her mask and jump around with glee).

Actually I was referring to Megaton not sure why I wrote Novac, and the ants in the basement of the school in Springvale. Alternatively, the fire-breathing ones you see afterwards and throw you for a loop because they fucking breathe fire.

>Even in 2077, the Marines had worse gear than the army.

:stress:

It's just heavier combat armor, it does nothing. This is what we invaded China with? Really?

I wonder what happened to the Marine Armor from Honest Hearts the one based off the riot armor. The writing on the armor implied that it was issued and used by a marine in the invasion of China.
I haven't played far harbor yet but I think the marine armor still looks better than the heavy combat armor. Just looking at it makes me think it was the pinnacle of armor until the development of functional power armor.

Probably that the armor we see in Honest Hearts is the culmination of the efforts to blend combat armor and power armor, and the one we see in Far Harbor is the prototypical phrase.
 
I've rather enjoyed Far Harbour so far, but feel it's a bit light on fun, story-ish driven quests. I've already completed the whole "main storyline" section by ensuring all three factions can live in harmony. Now I suspect I am stuck with the whole "expand and settle" and "fetch this crap" quests.

Even did the whole Murder in the Hotel thing too.
 
What I think what Far Harbor did better in terms of story compared to the main storyline is that peace with all the factions was possible but it came at an enormous moral cost.

I feel like decisions in Fallout 4 with the factions should've had more damning consequences. Make the Institute and Brotherhood more redeemable and have the peace ending be the most difficult ending out of all the endings.

While I loved it, some people absolutely loathed Dead Money.

And those people are stupid idiots.

One of the main complaints being 'This is survival horror its not the same thing!' don't get what DLCs are supposed. It was fucking fantastic and I'll bear trap fist the face anyone who says otherwise.

DM is one of those DLCs that's better the second time around, when you know where the radios are and how to avoid them. It's my second favorite DLC, behind Old World Blues, no doubt about that.

(For context, I play on Very Hard with Hardcore mode on)

That first playthrough of Dead Money where you don't know where the radios are was the best part for me. Thrown into a place with a fog that I don't know, enemies that can genuinely surprise you, barely any ammo or shit to heal yourself or places to recuperate. It really felt like you were a slave forced to do that shit against your will. And fuuuuuck that moment you ring the bell and you have to run back to the Casino and all of those enemies it was a frantic as fuck run for me where FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK was my only stream of thoughts I had for like, a solid 10 minutes. I thought the writing was great, the choice at the end was amazing and it was really great that the treasure of the Sierra Madre is something that you just couldn't leave with. It really played well with the theme and you can see why so many died trying to get in. Especially when you basically start dumping everything you have on you that's not a special weapon or piece of armor just so you can get that one extra bar of gold since you need to run out of there unless you wanna die.

It was the tits.

Old World Blues I didn't enjoy so much, I thought it was trying to hard to recapture the wacky zany humor of Fallout 2 and it fell flat to me. Oh and did I mention the constantly unlimited respawn of those fucking scorpions and nightstalkers? All that for what amounts to just one huge fetch quest. If you don't have a point in either melee or energy it's a fucking brutal slog. And since I only play on Very Hard + Hardcore... Well yeah. Not a huge fan.

For me it's Dead Money and Honest Hearts all the way.
