NEW VEGAS!

[Dusty Lens]

I'm playing the game on very hard now.

It feels much better this way. No more uberlol snipe action.

Well... Not so much anyways.

In the end every weapon group seems to have something which is a little too powerful, a situation which I feel detracts somewhat from the overall quality of the game. I understand the appeal to a wider audience of throwing in something like the AM Rifle, uber gauss, thermic lance (trololo, lord that thing is silly) and so on... But running around one shotting everything without thought or effort kinda slows the game down for me some.

Just a preference thing. I get more of a kick ducking behind a boulder reloading 'ol Lucky against a mob of NCR pukes (HAIL CAESAR) than casually popping them all with pushy.

On the note of the ultimate kill weapon though. Heh. Lily in your group. Chinese stealth armor. Stealth boy. Silenced 12mm or sniper rifle. pop pop pop pop all day.

Still! In the end its not like they're forcing the one shot one kill weapons on me. So I can still merrily dig running around with my laser rifle or smexy revolver all day and enjoy the extra challenge.

Still need to try the grenade launchers.

Also! Lordy. VATS is a death sentence. Now that you don't enjoy the LOLINVULNERABLE edge of the old FO game you sort of sit there, watching an overly long vats animation, complete with ghouls raping you sideways in the background, with something akin to horror.
