Still the hybrid real time/turn-based combat?


Yes - some fights I've needed my AP more than others. Suicide Bomber guys I was thankful for it - other times not needed.

You spawn more elite enemies on higher difficulty levels. Elite guys drop the good loot. I'm thinking about bumping it to Very Hard and clearing some areas while i'm ahead on the power curve with this armor.

More of a challenge on very hard. The new legendary enemies have some annoying things they can do. More special items to sell too.

I got the small fortune needed for the big city apartment, but after I bought it I didn't like it - so I reloaded to right before I bought it. Still looking for the perfect spot, but have some cash saved now.

One of the shittiest things about F3 was the harder baddies dropping useless shit, specifically the super mutant overlords and ghoul reavers. Fuck them.

Found another potential settlement spot last night. Seems like it was a hippy commune overrun by ghouls and rad monsters.

There is still a servitor robot that floats around the abandoned buildings named "Mr. Goodfeels." He keeps saying "Far out dude" and "groovy"

A critical review of Fallout 4.

He still enjoyed it, but he's making the argument that it's very light on RPG elements.

Fair criticism. There are very few noncombat options.

The combat is fun though, and there is ammo everywhere - but at the higher difficulty levels you need every bit of it. customization wise, you could maybe be three or four real classes to start. Drugged up melee character is one i want to try. There are massive amounts of drugs out there and you can combine and create new ones.

Bethesda sued by a Russian dude over vid game addiction.
The report states that the man went on a 3-week gaming marathon, neglecting his job, ignoring his friends and family, and failing to eat or sleep. This allegedly cost him his health, job, and marriage.

Technically you can beat Postal 2 without killing anyone.
