    Pictures of your Games Episode VIII The Fast - The Picturesque

    so, I spawned a Bozar for myself to see how it looks in New Vegas. didn't want to sell it or use it, so I dumped it into a garbage container in Goodsprings. then a fight happened, the town folks had to defend themselves. right after the fight I went into the saloon and spotted this:

    apparently Sunny found my Bozar in the dumpster and helped herself. can't blame her, just surprised to see AI rummage through containers for gear :lol:

    I found this mod somewhere on Mediafire, it has hundreds of player models ripped from other games converted into New Vegas armor pieces. the ones on the screenshots are from Modern Warfare 3 and Black Ops 2. the folders say "VGU", not sure if that's a known mod. it's 4+ GB in total, though.

     

    the weapon is a modified AK with several attachments, taken from here: http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/42014/?

     

    I wanted to try and play New Vegas like a modern shooter instead of an RPG, I want to see how far I can get with only this rifle, body armor, helmet, a .45 pistol and explosives.

     

    as a sidenote, I never played Modern Warfare and really want to pick up this Remastered edition, but I'm not really interested in Infinite Warfare :( maybe I'll find them bundled for cheap, but I'm not paying 50 USD on Steam for it.

    Does the remastered have the multiplayer maps and option?

    FAQ says:

     

     

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered will feature the original game’s full, iconic story campaign featuring levels such as “All Ghillied Up,” “Mile High Club,” and “Crew Expendable,” as well as classic multiplayer action with 10 fan-favorite multiplayer maps from the original game available at launch and the additional six maps made available by 12/31/16.

    as promised I tried Dungeon of the Endless. and boy I'm glad I did. this game is so addictive, I have to force myself to close it.

     

    it has everything: strategy, tactics, resource management, combat (this last one is a bit too simplistic, but that's by design, you don't really control your characters, you're more of an observer - kind of like that dude in Aliens, sitting in the APC watching helmet cams of his squad members).

     

    one thing I really dislike is the whole roguelike aspect of it, randomization can really screw you over (as it is doing to me currently, I'm on the 8th floor, and dust just stopped appearing, the more doors I open, the less food and tech I have because monster waves just keep getting bigger). it also really punishes you for any mistakes (again, as it did me, when I was answering a phone call and forgot to put the game on pause, didn't notice my best character get eaten off screen).

     

    but otherwise the game is so good, I'm willing to let it slide.

    guys, I think I have a problem. am I getting too old "for this ****"? just installed Dex, really wanted to play this game for the longest time. and it's the same problem all over again. the first area you get to after the "tutorial" has a boss fight as a way to begin your adventure. you're all alone, against a tough opponent and 2 of his minions. they hit like hell, attack you in pairs, have unblockable attacks and don't care about you hitting them, being able to hit you regardless, which interrupts your attacks. 

     

    I mean, do these "game designers" give any thought to what they put in their games? this is the third time in a row this month when a game managed to frustrate me before I even had 1 hour with it... uninstalling this turd. and god help me if NEO Scavenger turns out to be as bad.

    yeah, I agree, there are times when I want to be challenged by the game. but that's not the reason I bought Underrail. I wanted to play a post-apocalyptic turn-based RPG. and when the first five hours of the game are spent fighting rats and going back to base to heal up - and this cycle is repeated over and over again, I think, most people would lose interest, because they have better things to do with their free time.

    I have to warn you, if you think it's hard now, it gets really hard mid-game, you'll really need to search for solutions to certain seemingly impossible fights, although mines and stealth will usually solve them.

    thanks for the warning. uninstalling it as I write this ;) good thing it wasn't expensive, hopefully the next game from these guys will be better. but I'd rather play through Fallout for the 20th time than have to suffer through this. I'll "play" Underrail on YouTube.

    tried Underrail, and so far it's been a miserable experience. I just can't get into it. for a game that emulates Fallout as much as possible it sure's doing a poor job. 

     

    I don't mean to say that this game is terrible, but I can't say it's good either. so far it plays like a bad mod for Fallout: one where the first cave with rats is made 100 times bigger and more difficult to navigate. 

     

    maybe it's the build I've chosen, but even the rathounds (or w/e they're called) give me a hard time. I can't evade their attacks, I can barely run away from them and I can't kill them with my pistol. obviusly I don't have the money to buy better gear (one piece of equipment runs in the thousands, while I have 200 credits to my name). am I supposed to rely on melee combat until a certain point in the game? if so, why didn't one of the NPCs say so in the beginning? if not, what am I supposed to do?

     

    I have capped stealth, evasion, guns, melee etc. and I still can't survive most of the fights the game throws at me. I am forced to cheese my way around most battles (like locking myself behind a fence before the hounds can get to me and shoot them all for 20 combat rounds). did I go in the wrong direction? my first quest says I should go to these caves, why are they so f'king hard? why is there a boss fight in the starting location already? what is a player supposed to do if he's not like me and didn't loot everything in the 10 km radius (read: doesn't have molotov ****tails, grenades and all that stuff).

     

    or is using psy skills obligatory? the game seems to imply as much, but it's too late for me now, I have to either restart the game or keep going, trying to level up my char and catch up.

     

    and this game could surely use a map screen.

    Best moments in a game

    for me the best moments in games are usually those unscripted ones that people call "emergent". they always impress me the most. off the top of my head I can't recall most of them, but one I got on video. I don't know if in this particular instance it was unscripted actually, but it caught me completely by surprise.

    I had a side-mission - to free several slaves - in a quarry, controlled by Uruks. it began as any other side-mission, but after a few moments I noticed that Uruks weren't attacking me for some reason, instead fighting someone else. it took me a moment to realize the slave workers rebelled against them triggered by me appearing there. at some point Uruks became overwhelmed and started running away. until then I had never seen either of these things happen

    I might be wrong, but I think you're talking about the financial breakdown? In which case, 40% of the game's total budget is what's raised through the Fig campaign, yeah.

    yeah, I got it mixed up with the 40% InXile will provide, and apparently the 1.25 mil. from some other sources

     

     

     

    1,25 million or so was pre-filled by investors, not by regular backers.
