Japan has taken some established products and made them more difficult.

Early Wizardry -> Somewhat hard
Later Wizardry -> Really easy
Japanese Wizardry -> Harder again

Well, its better to look at mainstream products anyways, I guess, and those would be the same in any country.

FO1/2 ---> Not really hard but you can at least mess up.
FO3/NV ---> You can't even die unless you drink little girl's piss for an hour to rad out

Early FF ---> Some fights that might require a bit of effort, have to figure out where you're going
Late FF ---> Follow this one path and hit x until you win

Discuss what was said or the two games?

Personally, I'd like to think I'm far beyond being biased considering it's been years since FO3 was my first Fallout game and I've since beaten New Vegas and Fallout 2, but between 3 and New Vegas I generally prefer 3 because of the setting and atmosphere.

I get it's been hundreds of years since the nuclear fallout and life has come pretty damn close to resembling what it once was before the bombs fell, but I really liked the total desolation and destruction of the Capital Wasteland.

I am the only one that realizes that Obsidian fucked up the personal route to power.

No matter who you choose, the wasteland is worse off for it because they are all shit. The only correct choice as it is is to choose no one and let the wasteland sort it out itself.

If Obsidian knew how to do non-linear storytelling, they would have had a several choices to your personal ascent to power:

Um, House was actually the best ending. It stops the Legion from advancing and keeps New Vegas a shining epitome of the Wasteland.

Seriously dude, House.

>>262795193
I enjoy Lonesome road because it feels like what they were trying to do with Dead Money - having it be a struggle to survive in a recently post-apocalypse instead of the fairly leisurely post-post-post apocalypse of the rest of the game. It's also got a bunch of weapons that are cool but grounded in reality.

But the writing just sucks.

OWB is definitely the best DLC only because it captures what nerd humor actually is

Only a negligible amount. It's like "failing" the quest when you turn in the star caps.

You can make neutral ending any of those. Do every quest in the most beneficial way possible? The Mojave flourishes, and everyone is happy and safe as they can be. Do nothing?

Fallout 3 had a much more desolate setting. less friendly people, less towns and civilizations, that all contributes greatly towards a lonely, foreboding atmosphere.

It's a shitty plot twist anyways, one of the worst in video game history.

Name any plot twist, even Star Ocean 3's 4d shit, and it's better because IT ACTUALLY TWISTS THE PLOT.

KotOR's twist does ZERO to the rest of the story. The game proceeds EXACTLY as it had before, just with this revelation added.

If NCR is mad, and you can't even talk to the Ranger for the quest, then it's unwinnable. However, the quest should have failed, in that case.
You could try using an NCR uniform, but guards and the dogs will recognize you as a genocidal maniac.
You could also try doing sidequests that add to NCR fame, to balance out your infamy.

I think the main problem with people who actually like Fallout 3 is because they were literally their first PRGs. The only games these types of people had really played before were huge blockbuster hits like CoD and Halo. Just look at the release dates of all these games, the rise of casualization in 2007, it all lines up.

If all you know about video games is that there's guns and you go around shooting the guy in front of you, then anything going off a different angle is going to seem like a hidden gem to them. And when their mechanics and story are similar (including a perk system, gaining experience, helping the good guys go kick some bad guy ass!), it's even easier to get into.

These people don't actually like RPGs, they like the thought of playing an RPG. It's different, it's edgy, it's something "new"! And everything that's not in 3D, first person perspective is just for nerds. :^)
>>
>>262800707
IT WAS STILL BORING AS FUCK
The quests consisted of
>ok, you can either go here and fetch some shit, or, if you have 100 repair you don't have to fetch anything!"
You think this is good game design?
This is fucking dogshit, there's no replay value in that crap because the only difference is are you going to fetch shit, or are you skilled enough to skip fetching shit and still get the xp.
>>
>>262800860
What did you like about Point Lookout? I didn't get anything from it.
The Pitt was great though. Wish I could play it without replaying so much of Fallout 3 over.
>>
>>262800624
I got a bit of an RPG feeling a couple weeks ago, and I recently tried to play through NV again, when I came upon that part.

God, why did they keep that in the game? Imagine if you're that guy, and your employer asks to have samples of your voice acting in the most popular games you've been in.

>>262800458
Aside from based Neeson and the guys who did OWB I thought the voice acting in both games was awful all round.
>>
>>262801043
You also have the option of choosing where the power goes based on your faction decisions, or make it into a super weapon for yourself. That it literally the definition of replay value.
No matter how hard you try to play it down, it's always better than "Go kill the mutants in this cave"

I would agree if she were meant to deliver some sort of emotional line. She's just kind of explaining Goodsprings, how to make healing powder, and "the town mom".
She wasn't very good, but there's worse examples within New Vegas itself, let alone "da abs'lute wers vee-ayy err!"
>>
>>262801297
It's not better, because it's still boring as fuck. The quest to get those 3 options is boring as fuck and short of the superweapon option the other 2 don't actually do fuck all because the factions are static props that stand around and jerk off.

Well see that's the thing. It's the same way with New Vegas. New Coke was just a conspiracy to be able to use the cheaper HFCS instead of sugar and get people to accept it. They made "New" coke which tasted like shit and everyone hated it, and used HFCS. Then they brought back the flavor of "old coke" as "coke classic" but still used HFCS. So instead of everyone complaining that their coke got real sugar take out, everyone was happy that their coke tasted more like the old coke again.

Same with fallout. The original fallouts were the original coke. Excellent writing, isometric view and turnbased elements in the form of AP, rich RPG elements, etc.

Fallout 3 is the New Coke. Shittier RPG elements, oblivion with guns on gamebryo, shitty writing, everything worse than the originals really.

NV is coke classic. They retained the shitty gamebryo and FPSRPG design from F3, but they made the writing and RPG elements closer to the originals. Not the same, but closer. Enough to satisfy some, but still not the exact same as the old coke.
Do you understand?

New Vegas is more like modded F3.

Jesus Christ, it's actually amazing how unintelligent the average person who browses /v/. Sometimes it really is astounding. Anyone with the ability to critically read a children's book would be able to see that New Vegas was built around the fact that politics are futile. There is no best option. This is akin to arguing about consoles.

Mr. House's plan is entirely reliant on the NCR. If you did not know this, you did not play New Vegas. Simple as that. His plan is the halt the Legion and use the income of NCR tourists to jumpstart industry around the city. He will also rely on it for technology and a workforce. However, it is repeated numerous times throughout the game that the NCR will not last long, even if it defeats the Legion. The NCR fails, Mr. House fails.

Yes Man only exisrs because Obsidian knew you'd want to kill all the faction leaders and needed a way to complete the story if you did.
