FALLOUT PRO TIP:
In 4 Hard mode is actually ****ing hard!

Jesus Christ I was used to 3/NV where hard was easy as but instead I am getting my shit pushed deep in.

Constantly low on ammo and haven't got any decent weapons yet.

I was trying to make it to a major city/town by sneaking through an outer CBD area and after running out of all my ammo on these dogs I actually had to just start focusing on out running the bastards.

However the wasteland is amazing so many long streets and alleyways with large buildings on both sides instead of one building every 10 minutes of game time and just barren land.

It's a very vertical experience, raiders can be on rooftops and blown out floors well above street level.

At least you can play FO4, after a long day i thought i would go for some late night vidya gaems, load up Fallout 4 and it immediately crashes to desktop.

does difficulty just make NPCs bullet sponges?

Had similair issues with Skyrim on launch I was expecting a repeat.

Last time it was adjusting the audio bitrate in the applications properties box that fixed it but that was for Skyrim probably wouldn't be the same for FO4

 

[SilenceOz]

Yes and No, it takes more to kill them but not vastly more I think its balanced more by not spawning as much ammo and guns.

Also on watching someone else play normal it spawns quite a few more enemies on hard

Secondly I've seen on Normal difficulty you are fragile as in the early game as well.

In NV you start with 250-300 HP in 4 you start with 95

Don't bet on it

American muscle cars are a great way to waste some coin.

Was at a car show earlier tonight, those old charger's with the handle bar shifter... phwoar

Also seen this relic stuck in someones dashboard

Force Awakens will be the 2nd highest grossing film ever, not adjusted for inflation.

Thought for the day.
Has Ford or any mod ever deleted or moved one of their own posts?

 

[Contested Marx]

Lol 3 pages back "PC GAMING BETTER THAN CONSOLE"

this morning it's "IT CRASHED / I'M ADJUSTING SETTINGS TO MAKE IT BETTER"

(Ignore me I'm just jealous. I don't have f4 and I don't have time to play it).

Also Star Wars theories? Scavenger girl is obviously Luke or Leia's daughter. And bad guy might be as well? Sibling rivalry?

My Dad had an original GT HO Phase III

Sold it not long after I was born... He blames me.

Your dad's a smart man.

If American muscle cars are a waste of coin, then Australian muscle cars must be the worst life decision ever.
The price some of those early Falcons and Monaros are going for these days is ridiculous. Ideally I'd like to have something like a Plymouth or Dodge. Would certainly make people look twice and at a fraction of the cost.

I should not have stayed up all Monday night playing Fallout 4. Struggling.

 

[Zakk Wylde]

Holy shit...

I have no idea who either of these people are. should i feel sorry for someone?

The human race.

Why aren't we using the same numbers as 1997? They are freaking awesome (watching Port v Brisbane 1997).

#bringbacksquarenumbers

1998 ones were better. Similar to the ones the Nike teams wore at the World Cup.

I'd back the panel and those numbers any day. Nice and unique without getting too cheesy.

Started reading a book on the history of Australia but barely got to James Cook's expedition so far A long way to go. Nearly everything on the book is new to me though - it's not like schools pay much attention to Australian history here... (and I'd think over there you don't know much about Brazil either!)

It is a really fascinating read though as I am so ignorant on the subject.

The best bit is when we kill as many brown people as we can and steal their land, then make those remaining into virtual slaves, then when we start breeding with them we steal the children from the breeding and make them into slaves too! Oh and now we shitcan them constantly for not living to our standards. BOOOOOOOOOO!

Not too different to Brazil after all.

I've been hearing the console version of FO4 is horribly buggy.

Clubbed and stabbed to death by a bunch of Hawaiian villagers

I thought that was in Tahiti. Edit: Nope, you're right.
