J.E. Sawyer, the Fallout: New Vegas lead designer, has released a bug fixing and difficulty tweaking mod for the game today. It is a personal mod intended for those willing to experience a harder, more challenging Fallout: New Vegas. It also includes several technical fixes and tweaks (particularly to the Karma system), that were not included in previous patches.
While it is considered unofficial by its creator, it does provide insight into the aims of the lead developer and contains planned tweaks that never made it into release. You can find the full changelog, installation and download info in the Fallout wiki:
BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.
Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."
Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.
Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.
I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.
It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.
Can you make it a good game instead?
Yeeeeaaahhh no. The game isn't bad but it was not as spectacular as Fallout 3.
Loved the western post apocalypse theme this time around. Hardcore was a pain sometimes but not so bad. Harder? No thanks I don't want a simulator. I'm sure I could have beaten the game in half the time if I did not have to keep waiting to heal, hydrate, sleep etc.
I've played fallout 3 but if I'm not interested in NV, should I give it a shot anyway?
hufandpuf, you'll be dissapointed.
The recycled textures, models etc (80% of the game) feel like it shouldve been a part of Fallout. The plot.. is ALOT thinner than Fallout 3..
