LadyCrimson Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Does anyone remember why people thought deathclaws ignored DT? All I know is I heard it here first, and then later some claimed it might be a bug or something. I ask because I did a test recently via GECKing armor to have 500DT and they definitely do not ignore DT. They just do so much damage that normal levels of DT are rendered essentially useless as protection. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Don't know if it's actually entertaining, but this is what happens when you use a mod to spawn a 100 Legion vs. 6 companions battle: (more than half the vid is 'sped up' from the original skip-frame-lag slideshow...) (...the game engine didn't like it when I went above 70ish spawned, no matter the resolution/graphic settings I tried, lol) There's also these two large, non-jerky screenie collages, haha: One Two Weekends were made for wastin'. p.s. Except for chr. god-mode so I could focus on videotaking, I didn't cheat the companions much...and yes, half the time 3-4 of them would fall down in 30-60 seconds, random luck.

Thorton_AP Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 I never really expected New Vegas to outsell Mass Effect 2 on Xbox360. That's certainly interesting, though there's no numbers in it. Are those hard data or estimates, though? EDIT: Also Fable III sold a lot more than both, according to those data, despite being the lowest in Metacritic rankings.... interesting, though again, I'd want numbers. It's not really that surprising when you think about the fact that it's a follow up to a game that sold upwards of 8+ million copies. That said I'm happy for their success.

It's not like Mass Effect 2 wasn't a follow-up either. And where did you get the 8+ million copies figures?
Thorton_AP Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Hmmm, I'm not sure where I found 8 million. So let's assume my bum! It was up to 4.7 million in a couple months: http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2008/11/fallout-3-launc/ If you believe unreliable VGCharts, the combined 360 and PS3 sales top out at around 6 million. http://gamrreview.vgchartz.com/browse.php?name=Fallout+3 Mass Effect 2 may be a follow up, but I wouldn't be surprised if Fallout 3 sold more than ME and ME2 combined. ME2 is a follow up to a game that sold decidedly less. Even if you just focus on the 360, New Vegas is a follow up to a better seller still. And New Vegas did a good job of not deviating too much from the FO3 formula. So I wouldn't at all be surprised if New Vegas continued to see success from the "non hardcore RPG" market <gasp>.
CoM_Solaufein Posted February 14, 2011 Author Posted February 14, 2011 One creature I hate above anything else are those Cazadors. That's the time when I cheat and bring out my cheating weapon, a mini gun that fires nukes. I'll spray the entire area and wipe them out. Deathclaws are more fun than they are.

Enoch Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) Standard cazadore tactic is to go equip a reasonably high-DPS weapon with a low AP cost, go to VATS once they reach a reasonable range, and aim for the wings. Once you put them on the ground, your companions can finish them off. Although it is easy to get in trouble if you pull too many at once. Edit: mixed up my DAM/DPS shorthand. Edited February 14, 2011 by Enoch
Starwars Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 If they get too close then switch to high DPS weapons. I usually keep some automatics around almost purely for dealing with Cazadores. I'm very happy with the inclusion of them. Great to have another "oh hell" type of enemy in the game. They're also creepy as hell since they're so damn fast.

sorophx Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) wow, I never could have imagined cazadores were a problem for so many people. I died to them only once, because I walked right into their nest without a weapon ready.

LadyCrimson Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Cazzies can be troublesome if you're lvl 1 with a 9mm, or if you attract too many at once. But 2-3 at a time isn't generally a problem. Wings, backpedal, fast gun. I've heard flamers are great against them too, or dynamite from a distance. But never used those. “Things are as they are.

entrerix Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 im thinking of those nests up near the mountains in the west. there were big packs of cazadores there that really could rip you up fast since there were so many of them. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
LadyCrimson Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 im thinking of those nests up near the mountains in the west. The ones around Jacobstown area or Red Rock? The one's nearish Jacbstown were easy for me because of the relatively open terrain. The ones next to the Great Khan town, that narrow twisty pathway was more troublesome because I'd packpedal and get stuck on some rock. That campground wasn't too bad either, if you approached cautiously. I think it's really mostly to do with what weapon you're using. If you're doing run & gun real time close up tactics, the 12.7SMG is great fun.. “Things are as they are.

entrerix Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 twisty red rock paths. I kept getting too close to the nests and then getting chased down by 10 of the suckers. was pretty rough so I came back about 5 levels later (with better weapons) and then it wasn't much of a problem, but I still used vats to thin the crowd Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game.
