Video game thread

@Fleur de Lis  
The sad thing is that you’re not even wrong. I forgot about Shaun in, like, 20 minutes. Mind you that I’ve been spoiled on that plot element but still. It’s a matter of the game, itself, almost immediately forgetting about him and consequently letting you do so, too.
 
Also what the hell happened to what’s-his-face the kidnapper that he ended up leaving a trail of bloody bandages all over the countryside and why isn’t that addressed?

@Officer Hotpants  
to force us to meet best boi dogmeat if we somehow missed him at red rocket or something

@TeamBlueplant  
I modded Dogmeat to be Littlepip.  

@TeamBlueplant  
Yeah, but I mean… what happened to him? The trail he left behind makes him look like the man to ever (canonically) pursue his deathclaw mommy fetish and survive.
 
@GuiltyGrimoire  
I hate it. Where can I get a copy?

@Officer Hotpants  
You’re welcome.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
Now I wish all those mod requests for a mounted gun for dogmeat came to fruition.

@EverfreeEmergencies  
I’ve only seen the backpack and armor mods, I’m afraid.

I have no idea what game this is from, but it looks hella cool. Definitely something I would’ve played as a kid if I knew about it.  

@Humble Oriathan  
I think that’s Parasite Eve 2.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
kek.

@Napsack  
Thx, hard to believe this escaped my radar considering it was made by the same guy who made resident evil. Shame they never ported it to steam or the newer consoles.

@Humble Oriathan  
Yeah, both of those games (I’m not going to recognize Third Birthday and I doubt anyone would blame me) are actually popular enough to warrant a re-release, imo. They’ve got quite a nice cult following.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
what in the absolute fuck is that acursed hellspawn
 
 
@Officer Hotpants  
i dont remember much about the quest but i believe its different combats across large spans of time? i mean there isnt really any public cleaning services anymore (except the player picking up every single piece of trash it comes across) so a bloody bandage can stay in the same spot for ages, plus, wasteland n all, even mr. cereal name can get wounded by any random raider, creature or super mutant, i mean, we do, all the time!

@Napsack  
Third Birthday certainly was a travesty. One of those games that just doesn’t exist. As to re-releases, I’d do unspeakable things to get an upscale release of both titles, but sadly SE lost most of the rights to the franchise after disagreements between the author of the original book (who holds significant IP control), his publisher, and SE; about the only thing they’re allowed to do is release the existing games ad nauseam on PSN.
 
EDIT: That said, emulator upscaling makes both games look absolutely gorgeous.

@GuiltyGrimoire  
Thank you.
 
@TeamBlueplant  
Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t the bandages fresh? They’re still red and Dogmeat is following the scent between them.

@Officer Hotpants  
They’re SOMEHOW fresh, even though they really should not be - it’s another plot hole in the shoddy excuse that passes for F4’s story.

@TeamBlueplant  
What is that adorable little horsey*  
FTFY
 
@Havoc  
Disgusting channer get off of my site REEEE
 
@Officer Hotpants  
No problem, become enlightened to the adorableness. Remember to use the socks!

@Officer Hotpants  
its.. uhh.. cyborg blood! or synth blood, idk
 
 
@GuiltyGrimoire  
a friend of mine did read the entirety of fallout equestria and then did a resume for me
 
we laughed the entire time, so, acursed hellspawn it is

Just had the revelation that concrete makes for better perimeter walls than anything because it’s the only material that can actually clip through the bushes in Sanctuary.

@EverfreeEmergencies  
I’ve never considered walling it off before. Would have assumed it was too large. I just put lots of turrets on the rooftops. Haven’t had a single attack upon the place to date. Was kind of wondering if the place can be attacked; everywhere else has.

@Officer Hotpants  
I heard that if a settlement has a high defence value, there are never attacks. But I was attacked by robots. Maybe that only applies to raiders, or maybe my defence value doesn’t count as high enough, or maybe I just misunderstood, or maybe whoever said that was just wrong.
 
Also, Nick stole my power armour. I can take the parts, but is there way to get him out of the frame?
 

@Fleur de Lis  
Pretty sure attacks are unavoidable because bethesda’d rather take the easy option and force “content” down your gullet than balance stuff properly.

@Fleur de Lis  
I don’t think attacks are ever permanently stopped, just less frequent. And the higher the defence rating, the less frequent it is.
 
I also know that having even one robot in a settlement will cause Rust Devil attacks no matter the rating

@Fleur de Lis  
Pickpocket the power cell. He should get out of the armor. Whenever you “store” a frame, make sure to take the cell with you otherwise any NPC in the area can “jack your ride”, so to speak.
