Gears of the Beast Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I think I've decided on Fallout 3, I always figured it was more of a Call of Duty type for some reason.Looks pretty good from what I'm seeing about it.In my humble opinion the greatest game of all time. Make sure to get the DLC too. Point Lookout is fucking amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have recommended Fallout: New Vegas, which in my humble opinion is* the greatest game of all time. Make sure to get the DLC too. Old World Blues is fucking amazing.** * one of the** :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Targdust Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oh I was thinking fallout 3 was the most recent, new Vegas it is then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azzanadra Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 From a lore standpoint, Fallout 3 never seemed like a real "Fallout" to me. In that way, New Vegas felt more authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drunkard Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 NPC dialogue in New Vegas is miles ahead of dialogue in F3 too. Important thing to keep in mind given you can end up spending half the game dealing with NPCs. Loading screens can be a bitch, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Also, New Vegas has support for Windows 7, unlike Fallout 3 where you have to do a bunch of stuff to get it to run stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fez Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Sweet. I just hope it ends up out on Macs as well, since that's all I've got (thanks work). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MerenthaClone Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Oooooooh. An actual successor to smac? Looks like it! edit: I'm kinda sad they didn't have a more tongue in cheek name like Beta Centauri or something, but I'll live with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure to get the DLC too. Old World Blues is fucking amazing.** * one of the ** :P I'll agree with you there. Old World Blues is fantastic. I'd recommend he play Fallout 3 first so he can appreciate it before he plays Fallout: New Vegas which is the second greatest game of all time. I feel like it would be more difficult to appreciate Fallout 3 if you played New Vegas first. Anyway, they're both pinnacles of that generation and should be played in whatever order he wants. edit: Wow! That Civ game looks awesome. Very good trailer.

The Anti-Targ Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think you're overlooking the primary reason Respawn didn't implement a singleplayer campaign: cost. As is, it's a sixty person studio. To bolt a proper campaign onto the multiplayer, they would need to double or triple their staff, and therefore their expenses. Given that you're arguing they're on shaky financial ground, I'm sure not you should also be arguing that they (and their publisher) spend a lot more money and make it that much harder to sell enough copies to break even. I'm not arguing that at all. I'm saying the franchise is fragile in terms of becoming the next big FPS franchise; a CoD killer if you will. I'm saying if they have ambitions to sell like CoD then they need a proper SP campaign. If EA gains publishing rights for TF2 and 3, then they may be willing to invest the sort of money that would be needed to build the dev team up to the number of people required.

Jabronius Maximus Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I think we should really hold off on judging TF until seeing how this 360 launch goes. The game just hit shelves this week, and it definitely looks like a playable experience, from what I can see (I don't know if the screen tearing is a Youtube thing). Despite MS' efforts to push the XO, the 360 is still a far larger install base and will greatly affect the success of TF. I suspect that people will eat this game up, and soon we'll be seeing some glowing announcements regarding the sales numbers of the game (which I'm sure will be largely due to the 360 version, but they wouldn't specify that, would they?).

paddington Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 SoE are making an open world zombie mmo. There's a long letter from the company President on reddit about it. http://www.reddit.com/r/h1z1/comments/22niku/what_is_h1z1/ Different ruleset servers, building and crafting, plans to create large urban areas. Kind of looks interesting, not sure if the whole zombie thing is done too much though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddington Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 True, but then the same could be said about a lot of games. So dayz with base building, crafting 1000's of people online and a seriously huge landmass to explore + zombies sounds kind of fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of looks interesting, not sure if the whole zombie thing is done too much though. It being free-to-play is nice. Sounds quite a bit like Project Zomboid given the description, especially if the 'death is assured' means what it says, that you are (almost) guaranteed to lose at some point, though it being an MMO makes me think that won't be the case. Hopefully there's a rule set with finite supplies, so you end up having to establish some sort of food/weapon production. Establishing some sort of society (and being a raider) would be much more satisfying if you're fighting over something valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
