Easy there, mik.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Uh... here's most of what I used when I played. No idea what the fuck any of it is now.

I see you use the Jsawyer mod.. good choice, Kirosia.

Spoiler

Where's your avatar?!

I'd recommend the Jsawyer mod to anyone seeking an improved Fallout New Vegas (Hardcore mode) experience. It fixes bugs, improves game balance, and makes things closer to the lead designer's vision, as he's the author of the mod. Josh Sawyer is great at what he does.

I've been unsubbed since November and I'm still a prime member, at no cost mind you. *shrugs*

I've been a Prime member for like 6 odd years without paying a single penny. Their system is obviously not very good. Not that I'm complaining!

...That's a bizarre oversight on IGN's part.

It has to be intentional, because, at least for me, their system is clearly identifying when I unsubbed. It also handily queues up anything I can redeem on my landing page.

Bizarre.

I believe it's $44.99 on DLgamer.us. I know there was a price error on the deluxe edition in NZ for a short bit but I don't think many people grabbed it. You can always try asking around though.

...deadass tho, you should've made that post like 3 minutes earlier >_> lost $5 cause of you, ALL CAUSE YOU WAS TOO BUSY LIVING YOUR LIFE!! no buy srlsy, i wish enchanced steam loaded quicker, i noticed it as well but by the time i already transfered the funds to my steam acc.

You should be fine if you transfer now

just did it now, didn't have to wait or anything.

So I'm thinking about finally playing New Vegas. Any mods I should install? or just do a vanilla playthrough?

Install the MTUI mod at the least. Some NPC's have a lot of dialogue options. Seeing 6 options on the screen at the same time instead of only 3 is very convenient. Same with items in inventory.

JSawyer mod, Mission Mojave, MTUI, better textures, better character models,

anime hairs

, etc

I'd recommend NVEC and/or Project Nevada, an all in one mod. You'll also want NVAC (Anti Crash).
Absolutely avoid vanilla playthrough, it's a mess.

New raid mode gameplay wirh Barry from Revelations 2

https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZEnXMXq3C2g

Looking good to me. Seems to be fixing the gripes I had with Raid mode in Rev 1. I'll be back a few days before the second episode so I won't be missing much. Hope the vita version is good with all the content. Will be double dipping on this more than once.

Oh, right! This is another great mod.

I actually forgot I ever used a UI mod until you mentioned it.


SkyUI for Skyrim is similar; in both cases it feels like they should've been that way from the start.

Volvo is going to unveil Steam VR hardware at GDC next week?
How about uh... finishing and releasing your previous hardware release, Volvo? =p

Who needs to finish things when they can hype everyone (including me) into the next new shiny thing.

I really hope Valve never goes into network television.

 

[Jawmuncher]

My scale for giving a shit about new valve hardware or hell anything really is about as low as it can go.

Between unkept promises, valve time, and not finishing shit in general there's no reason to care.

Not even Half Life 3 would change that.

yea that stuff kills the immersion. Having to scroll through so many options was worst thing about the vanilla and console versions. Especially if you have bad short term memory.

 

[wilflare]

you missed that ship like 2 years ago on black friday, they had 1 year going for 30. i bought 3 of em. they didn't have anything last year tho. maybe this black friday they do it again but i highly doubt it now that more people buy ps+ since they paywalled online play(fuck you sony for doing that btw)

So I'm thinking about finally playing New Vegas. Any mods I should install? or just do a vanilla playthrough?



Son, I did the exact same thing. That deal was dope. Got 3 years worth of PS+. probably should have gotten more in hindsight.

crazy deal indeed - just hoping Sony relaunches the Buy 12 + 3 months free deal so I'll redeem those cards

 

[Chairmanchuck]

Who needs to finish things when they can hype everyone (including me) into the next new shiny thing.

I just wonder why they do it.

I mean their VR-Hardware solution was only for Research-purposes, wasnt it? Didnt they always say it?
I dont really think it will ever see the light of day.

 

[Jawmuncher]

So did none of our reviewer SteamGaffers get a Revelations 2 review code? It includes the whole game now. I ask because I want to know the secret characters for raid mode and depending on embargo that info should be put out tomorrow. But I know review sites are gonna skip over it.

 

[LurkerPrime]

It's a bummer because of how easily it's fixed, with a slight UI and font change.

For a lot of people, Half Life 3 just isn't a very exciting prospect any more. The market (and Steam's user base in general) just isn't what it was when HL2 was released.

For example, I'm having a hard time convincing myself to buy and play Hero of the Kingdom 2. The game looks great and I loved the original, but I just can't seem to pull the trigger on it even though it's 25% off and only $6. I'm almost certain that by the time I get around to playing it, it will have been bundled at least once. While Half Life 3 probably won't end up in a Humble Bundle any time soon, people have been conditioned over the years that you can own Half Life games for very little. When Half Life 2 can often be had for $2.50, I think people may give pause if Half Life 3 releases with a $60 price tag.

Of course, a lot of people will buy it at that (or any) price if they're hardcore fans. But the Half Life series and Valve Complete Pack go on sale during every big holiday - so even if it came out tomorrow, a lot of people would be waiting for the Summer Sale to pick it up.

Maybe that's just me, and maybe I'm just crazy. *goes back to playing the Steam version of a mobile game*

Yeah I remember an interview(?) where someone from Valve told the VR hardware they were working was just for research purposes and to show how far VR can go.

Guys, I see Agarest: Generations of War is on sale... and I'm not sure if I should bite. I love SRPGs, but I strongly dislike fanservice... and apparently the game is incredibly long, which I also don't like Would I get any enjoyment strictly from the gameplay? It's pretty cheap right now, so I can adjust my expectations, I guess.

 

[A Fish Aficionado]

Really depends. Fan service is only a bit high in a few parts. However it is very long, especially because grinding for better materials. Also if you don't follow a guide you'll probably not get the true ending. Combat is fun though and it's still worth that price I think.

Very long and grinding are the biggest things that might ruin things for you.

They just said they wouldn't release a VR headset, not that they stopped developing the technology. I guess it reached a point where it finally made sense.

I think I'm going to skip it, mostly because apparently every single battle takes place in the same map :0 As in, no obstacles or anything. It just doesn't seem like the kind of SRPGs I enjoy. Thanks for the info, though :]

For me it's just that I honestly don't trust Valve at this point. that and like you said the climate and how they handle things has changed so much who knows what they'll do and how the steam user base would even take it.

I still think the combat in Agarest 1 and Zero is really bad compared to other SRPGs.
The map is actually always the same (this square-grid) with different textures/skin, there are no height differences and if you do not use the DLC-weapons the game is hard even on normal, especially after each generation.

I enjoyed it, but I can see why so many people were put off the series because of the combat-system.

For me it's just that I honestly don't trust Valve at this point. that and like you said the climate and how they handle things has changed so much who knows what they'll do and how the steam user base would even take it.

I would even argue that their current-user base consists of a lot of "casuals", if I may call them like that while it was more of a hardcore PC-gamer crowd back in the days (till maybe 2010?).

 

[_hekk05]

Dammit I just realised the 15 back for spending 100 deal is still on. I could have bought all the ateliers and still ggtten those 15 bucks and I didn't have to preorder muh bloodborne and I wouldn't be a sell out.

I know SlasherJC got a review copy, and I know CJ (from Rely On Horror) has a review copy and posts on NeoGAF sometimes, I also know the review embargo for episode 1 is 12 AM PST tonight, so in four and a half hours.

However, the PS4 version will be playable in 30 minutes, so we'll also be getting user impressions.

You totally are.

Edit: Also, this is the first time a Valve announcement hasn't at all excited me...

Not sure if it's my faltering hope in them or the fact that we held my grandmothers funeral today, or a bit of both.
Probably just the faltering hope... ,_,

I installed project nevada and the skies mod. I think the skies mod is interfering somehow. It crashes whenever I try to run the game. When I take it out. its okay.

Anyway thanks for the list. I'll be sure to install all of them.

 

[Maniac]

But hey, CSGO got a Hotline Miami music kit, so... That's fucking exciting.

I fucking need it.

 

[electroflame]

Just to make sure, you've got to have the appropriate .ESP selected. From the install instructions for Nevada Skies:

- NevadaSkies - Basic Edition.esp -> This file has to be activated if you do not own DLC Content Packs
- NevadaSkies - Ultimate DLC Edition.esp -> This file has to be activated, if you have all FNV DLCs.
- NevadaSkies - TTW Edition.esp -> This file has to be activated, if you have Tale of Two Wastelands installed.

All this talk about New Vegas is making me want to go back and give it another shot. Maybe once I'm done with Far Cry 4 (and possibly other things in my backlog)...

It's Feep. He's not gonna do us wrong. I enjoyed Sequence (maybe not as far as loved it, but enjoyed it enough to get all the achivements) and I'm confident this won't disappoint. Mind you, I am a ditherer. If I tell someone to "move to uhhhhhhh....Foxtrot" it'll be interesting to see if they still understand me.

It was based on a TV show. You really can't?
