I refuse to play New Vegas on “Annoying” mode.

SG - Obsidian’s Fallout: New Vegas is a pleasant surprise for me so far. The game does enough different to keep me interested, while scratching that same itch that Fallout 3 did almost 2 years ago. One of the additions to New Vegas is the ‘Hardcore’ mode. This mode not only increases the difficulty, but it forces you to do all of the mundane things that don’t add anything to the game and will likely annoy you, rather than entertain you.

And you don't have to play Hardcore if you don't want to.

Ah...now I see the other story about how it makes it better from the same site. Gotta agree with the other story.

An article about not playing an OPTIONAL mode in a video game... Let's start writing about unicorns and leprechauns.

I refuse to read this review written in whine mode

vickers5004993d ago

Hey guys, want to hear about all the stuff I didn't do today?

ThanatosDMC4993d ago

Agreed about him being a wuss. Without hardcore mode, it's like taking a stroll through lava while taking rockets to the face and not being hurt by it.

Hardcore mode should have been in FO3 during retail release.

grailly4993d ago

hardcore mode isn't really that hardcore after all...
The hardest part about it is the stimpacks healing overtime. The bullet weight, sleep, food and water aren't that hard to get over. I can get why anybody can find it annoying as feeding yourself feels tamagochi-like. I still play hardcore for the difficulty bump with the stimpacks, and that part isn't "annoying"

"This is a joke.

Unicorns and leprechauns are "optional" now? Unicorn - I choose you!

Lucreto4993d ago

What is the special item you get at the end of Hardcore? You can PM me to avoid spoilers or just post it here.

Thecraft19894993d ago

Hellsvacancy4993d ago

No Way4993d ago

Better yet, if you beat the game.. does it end after the campaign?

Iduno if this has been discussed or not.

TheGameFoxJTV4992d ago

It ends after the final cutscene, but I already have a mod that'll allow me to continue playing.

MisterNiwa4993d ago

I'll go write some article based on how I refuse to play Ninja Gaiden on Hard more, fight Street Fighter IV CPU's with Maximum Difficulty or play the Horde Mode on Halo: Reach.

Is that guy for real? lol.

Timesplitter144993d ago

For me, Hardcore mode is what makes this a must-buy.

I've always wanted something like this

I plan on doing Hardcore once I get all the other trophies on my first playthrough. Hardcore on easy just doing the story missions won't take too long.

soundslike4993d ago

that sounds like a terribly empty experience

Lucreto4993d ago

I would have played the game for 70 hours collecting everything that is not nailed down. I don't want to worry to eat and the like.

I will go through Hardcore mode quickly just for the platinum. I got the Fallout 3 platinum and I want them to match. I also have 5 other games to play and I have a short time to to pay them before next years mountain appears.

A Cupcake for Gabe4993d ago (Edited 4993d ago )

Are you playing it? This is a longer campaign than FO3,. I'm playing it now trying to be a good person but this game has me constantly wondering what the definition good means. Many seemingly bad choices end up morally right and some good choices turn out as poor dicisions. New Vegas is outstanding in making you think about your choices. Plus the karma/reputation systems are more dynamic. Nothing is vlavk and white anymore. With that said, im playing hardcore when i do it on my evil playthrough cause when I'm contantly struggling, I'm not in any mood to be compassionate for anything.

CrzyFooL4993d ago

rofl.

Sarcastic Gamer is Sarcastic!!!

LarsoVanguard4993d ago

Sarcastic Gamer is crap.

Indeed, gotta love it.

Not sarcastic, as much as it is not good.

Raccoon2514993d ago

LoL, I love sarcastic gamer

Bobbykotickrulesz4993d ago

That makes one of us.

The people try so hard to be funny, but end up looking like morons.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits50d ago (Edited 50d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7250d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii50d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast50d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM50d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife49d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit49d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife49d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

They included physical disc back then
