jlobban Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 What about Fallout 3 was frustrating? it's been, what, 6-7 years, so hard to remember exactly what it was, but pretty sure it was the way-too-open world. i wandered off the main mission too early and basically got trapped in a sequence where i repeatedly got my ass handed to me over and over again, so it wasn't fun. even now, i find myself googling "where to go" for certain missions because i get frutrated that you're just supposed to explore and 'figure it out' sometimes.

dapeebs Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 That's kind of the draw of the whole game. It can both rewarding and punishing going off the beaten trail. It's been a while since I played as well, and from what I remember the quest markers can be confusing and a bit wonky sometimes. If you are looking to do just the main quest, than make sure that's always your "active" quest. A lot of locations in the game have no quest relevance, and are there simply for exploration and sometimes loot. It can be daunting at first. I'd definitely follow the main quest to start out then once you progress to lvl 10-15 and have a decent amount of gear, I'd just go wandering around. Beware of the death claws and behemoths though. They will slaughter you, no matter what lvl and gear you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Yes. The dart gun and railway rifle. I never really used those. Now I wanna start a new stealth character using only those and melee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlobban Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 i started out mostly melee (found a chinese officer's sword in a barn) but once i got to the super brute mutants, i started finding guns more and more useful... ALL THE GUNS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family Friendly Rap God Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 2K just dropped this trailer! I can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rip Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 2K just dropped this trailer! I can't wait! Never played any of the other "Mafia" games, but this looks fantastic. What should I expect gameplay wise? From the past 2 games at least. Also, DOES ANYONE ELSE PLAY LIFE IS STRANGE?! Seriously. Possibly game of the year contender for me. The wait for the last "episode" is killing meeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsfan4ever80 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 2K just dropped this trailer! I can't wait! http://youtu.be/2HMxHfIxQfc Mafia 1 is easily one of my favorite games ever. I remember it being the first time I found a story in a video game to be truly compelling. Can't wait for the 3rd. However, I wish we could move away from the gruff mysterious macho voices from protagonists in games. After The Witcher I've had enough of that vocal style.

3arl Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is anyone else excited for Everybody's Gone to the Rapture tomorrow? I've got a backlog of games I need to get through, but this will probably be jumping to the top of the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aflycon Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Never played any of the other "Mafia" games, but this looks fantastic. What should I expect gameplay wise? From the past 2 games at least. They're in the same vein as Grand Theft Auto and Saint's Row, but a bit more restrained in gameplay and much more restrained on the satire. For the most part, gameplay is more realistic if a bit stiff. I can't recommend Mafia II strongly enough. One of the best games I've ever played and one of the most compelling stories as well. I'd put it up there with GTA IV as one of the best of the open world crime games. They emulated the 40s and 50s better than any other game I've played. Very gritty, sometimes too much so (a certain scene in Central Park comes to mind). Definitely check it out; though it may not have enough content to hold you over until III it's definitely a great time-sink. As jetsfan said, the first game is also stellar but I haven't put nearly as much time into it as the sequel. Being from 2002, it actually looks pretty good for its time but the mechanics are still a bit clunky. Check it out, too. The guy at the end of the Mafia III trailer with the gray hair is Vito Scaletta, from the second game. I see they're sticking to the tradition of protagonists rolling over from one game to the next, even if only in a minor role. (Players of Mafia II will know that Tommy made a short appearance during one mission.) I like that sense of continuity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No This Is Patrick Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 If the rumors are true about KOTR 1 & 2 coming out for current gen consoles, then count me in! Do you mean KOTOR? (Just making sure) That would be sweet! 2 got an update on Steam recently with the Restoration Mod content. Have been dabbling in that quite a bit.

Rip Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Downloaded Everybody's Gone To The Rapture last night. Won't be able to play until tomorrow but I can't wait! Also downloaded Limbo for my PS4 since it's a free PS+ games this month. I already have it/beat it on my 360, but I loved it so much I figured it wouldn't hurt to have it again.

ilikeguitars Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 Finishing up Peace Walker and will go on to Ground Zeroes. Gotta get ready for Phantom Pain in September. Kind of want to play Guns of the Patriots again, but i really shouldn't be wasting time playing games over with all the games i still need to finish.
