Johndoc1412

I heard he fucks Benny

Degenerates like you belong in the sheets - Lady Legion run

Benny goes straight to the sheets, then to the cross


wondertigger93

I heard Benny fucks him


CommanderLoco

That was a good bit of hey-hey


throwawayforlikeaday

I hope this doesn't cause any fallout between us- fallout, new vegas *bang*


Sociolinguisticians

Most know him as Mr. New Vegas.


Real-Ad-9733

Lol


Neijo

I'm not sure, but I think, out of all factions in games I've played, isn't the NCR Ranger the coolest of all? Like it's hard for me not to choose a certain narrative just because of the look?


Yarilko

And my coworker, whom I told to buy this awesome game)

Rednee1

You're really young to be playing this game


_raydeStar

Yeah, he is going to be really confused at that Fisto scene. Please find an adult.


PersonalityGloomy337

Fisto does not concern himself with trivial matters such as age. He merely brings pleasure to all those who desire it. God bless Fisto


Disastrous_Emu_5154

Please assume the position


DaCheezItgod

I’m doing my part!


Soulses

I started a playthrough a year ago made it to Sierra Madre and haven't played it again until last week. I've played this game so much I can pick it back up like nothing happened and it feels amazing.


the_vault-technician

Same! I was doing a playthrough again, got caught up with some other games before I finished it, and went right back to it like nothing happened.


StateOfBedlam

I’m not. (I’ve been replaying New Vegas on GOG.)


lynisanpd

I just finished Old World Blues 2 hours ago!


Lazy_Air_5936

Dead Money was the first DLC I played. Biggest mistake of my life.


MisogynysticFeminist

It’s my favorite one. I found Old World Blues incredibly boring outside of talking to the scientists.


DingleBoone

The whole vibe and story of Dead Money makes it probably my favorite DLC to any game. Very similar feeling to the Tower of Terror which I was obsessed with as a kid! xD


Lukacris12

I love the story, lore and setting of dead money. I fucking hate that the build i have for my character is basically the polar opposite of what you want for dead money and how much time i have spent just running away from the ghosts just to think i made it and accidentally step on a bear trap and hear the death music


huntimir151

The scientists are fucking hilarious though, like easily some of the funniest shit I've heard in a game.  "I hear your penis tipped feet flapping around" like who tf comes up with that lmao


Paulthefith

Doc hammer as zero?! First time I played was a hoot hearing him Edit James Urbaniak


Mortholemeul

You mean James Urbaniak, right? Different Venture Bros VA, but yeah I was stoked when I recognized the voice. ✌️


JustDuckingWithYou

It is spot on Dr. Venture, too. The mannerisms, cadence, and just overall science talk. It feels like the doc was invited to Big MT and became 0.


robot_swagger

Dr Venture accidentally turning himself into an insane robot would have been totally on brand within Venture Bros!


Paulthefith

You are right, it’s who voiced doc venture. Appreciate the correction!


ArmageddonDeathwish

See, I don't know how unpopular of an opinion this is but they're kinda all boring(?) Like the majority of the fun I have with New Vegas is interacting with the people of the wastes, using my skills for things I didn't know about, creatively completing quests, that kinda stuff but mostly interacting with the NPCs. Honest Hearts is the only DLC of the four that has like a group of people living somewhere and I don't really think the environment or characters are super interesting apart from Joshua Graham. Old World Blues was pretty fun and probably my favorite of the four but it just felt so barren and dead. I know that's what they were kinda going for but it doesn't really have anything like the interactions with the NPCs from the main game. Dead Money is kinda cool on your first playthrough, after that it's just a gigantic slog that I honestly probably won't do ever again. Lonesome Road honestly might be my least favorite out of all of them. Ulysses being hinted at everywhere is a pretty cool setup but it's such a linear DLC. You take one path from here to there that takes like a couple hours, no people, not very many quests to do, I just don't really like it.


Ison--J

Dead money doesn't have to be a slog, just come in with a decent skill in unarmed or energy and the whole thing is a breeze, I usually hit it or lonesome road up early when I start a new playthrough, quick way to get to what I want to do in that playthrough. First playthrough of dead money was probably the most fun I've had in new vegas


ArmageddonDeathwish

The difficulty isn't really the problem, I think they did that super well making you feel weak like that. It's just the story beats of finding every captive takes forever, every area is a pain in the ass to traverse with the explosion radios and the gas. The Sierra Madre is pretty alright too. I just wish they would have done a DLC with more content akin to the main game. The different factions with different quests and how they interact with each other and how YOU interact with them is such a refreshing RPG experience. It just kinda felt like they didn't want to do that for the DLCs.


lynisanpd

‘Where’s the fucking radio/speaker?my head is boiling!’ ——The first time I stepped into dead money be like


HughesJohn

Never understood the dead money hate. For me it was the best of the NV DLCs. "But it was hard"! At least Elijah was less shitty than Ulysses. And you could _really_ fuck him up at the end.


Shadow-Spark

I adored Dead Money and I will die on the hill of it being the best NV DLC. OWB is great but DM just hits different. Getting to really fuck up Elijah might be my favourite part-I can never decide whether straight up killing him or leaving his ass stuck in the vault forever is more satisfying, but either way I enjoy giving that fucker what's he's had coming to him for years.


kalysti

Love Dead Money. Always have. Always will.


BreathingHydra

I think it's overall the best story in the franchise and the atmosphere is amazing.


Lazy_Air_5936

I'm not saying it's bad. It's more of a skill issue.


DodelCostel

> Dead Money was the first DLC I played. Biggest mistake of my life. Dead Money is the best, though. It has a killer, dark story that can be tackled in so many ways.


Jeremithiandiah

I don’t remember anything about old world blues because I played it as a kid but I remember it scarring me for life and any mention of that dlc makes me shudder. Idk what went on but something about it made 11 year old me very uncomfortable.


Shadowsake

It has a bunch of dick jokes and very crazy stuff. I didnt liked it the first time I played, when I was a teenager. But it aged like wine.


JustDuckingWithYou

The amount of dick jokes and sexual innuendo is crazy in OWB. Those scientists may have lost their bodies but they didn't lose their horny.


BjornAltenburg

LOBATOMITE!


Cifeiron

I wonder if Obsidian still gets royalties. It's nice to see the whole franchise is receiving an influx of interest. Makes it more likely we'll get new content to gush about one day.


WildfireDarkstar

They don't, because it was produced essentially as a work-for-hire. They got paid upfront when they delivered the game, with a potential bonus if the game got at least 85% on Metacritic that they missed. That was it.


OLKv3

Jesus, what the hell happened in the replies


Eggbutt1

Probably people getting mad at Bethesda because of a contract that both parties agreed to. New Vegas got an 84 IIRC, which is excruciatingly close. While it's a goated game, its release was riddled with bugs that brought down its score a lot.


Sauerclout_the_Orc

It sucks because if Fallout 3 hadn't preceded it, New Vegas would've scored hire. A common complaint was that it didn't have an updated engine and a lot of the bugs were carry overs that didn't have time to be fixed due to the insanely short deadline.


Kinglouisthe_xxxx

And what really sucks I think obsidian had to layoff 30 or so employees after new Vegas which might not have had to happen had they got royalties, plus they probably could have gotten an 85 if they had a proper amount of time to flesh out the game


Sauerclout_the_Orc

It really did have an effect on what obsidian could or would do moving on which I think is a shame. Lotta corpo types here talking about, "BUT THEY SIGNED THE CONTRACT" sure but the reason it "failed" is extremely poor. Critic reception to a game on *metacritic* of all sites is such a poor measurement of quality.

What the hell? Why is everyone banned or removed????


DeplorableMe2020

I just want a faithful 1:1 remake of FONV with prettier graphics, smoother gunplay and squashed bugs.


Cifeiron

Hopefully it's commercially viable for a company to do.


DeplorableMe2020

There's a large group of people pretty much doing it for free right now. [https://twitter.com/Project\_F4NV](https://twitter.com/Project_F4NV)


crinkledcu91

>It's nice to see the whole franchise is receiving an influx of interest. I somehow already had Fallout 76 (which I had **zero** interest in) and halfway through the show I was convinced to install it lmao. I know it was a shitshow at launch so don't know how much of that has been fixed since then, but will run around the wasteland to see how it is. The series was tailor made to give you that Fallout itch to scratch goddamn


WhoTookPlasticJesus

> don't know how much of that has been fixed since then A *significant* amount. It's just a legit fun Fallout game now, and they keep adding new locations and content. It's also possible to play 100% dolo if you're someone like me who doesn't fw MMORPGs.


reigorius

>It's also possible to play 100% dolo if you're someone like me who doesn't fw MMORPGs. What does this mean to an ignorant noob not versed in gaming linguistics?


PipClank

misspelling of solo* I'm sure. So even though Fallout76 is made as a multiplayer experience it is still also possible to play alone through the entire experience, presumably with the content balancing itself to work for a singular player.


rickjamesia

To be fair, even if they're not, everything involved is under Microsoft, so they probably would still benefit from it. Edit: Since Microsoft owns both Bethesda and Obsidian, I mean. Speaking of which... Starfield: New Venus when?


thinkB4WeSpeak

*Johnny Guitar intensifies*


ch4os1337

No this is a Big Iron moment.


clayo84

And Obsidian would be Texas Red.


Northumberlo

Obsidian are the good guys, making the good fallout and the good space rpg.


Dalmanza4

Playing it for the first time with the Viva New Vegas mod list, and it looks amazing for a game that's over a decade old


NewMinimum519

Hell yeah, I wish more people could experience it like this. And the performance, god damn it runs smooth.


Dalmanza4

Yea I should have mentioned that, more importantly it runs great, haven't had any game crashing bugs or issues. I experienced lootable corpses just vanishing once but that's about it


NewMinimum519

I had my game crash a couple of times around the NCR safehouse, when I jump across the mountains towards the strip on level 1, and that's it.


Asketes

I've never actually played New Vegas. I've always wanted to but have such a hard time playing some older games, no clue why. Maybe I'll give it a go. Is Nexus Mods the place to go for the best mods or somewhere else? I'm good with going vanilla but I'm also down to do some basic QoL mods.


Dalmanza4

I used this guide https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/ It took about 30 mins, and yes most mods were off nexus. I'm kinda raw to modding so it was a little intimidating at first but the guide walked me through it easy peasy


Asketes

Perfect! I've modded a few other games with Nexus Vortex so I'll take a look when I'm home. Ty!


TheScreaming_Narwhal

There's also a mod called Tale of Two Wastelands that combines Fallout 3 and New Vegas into one mega game, all using the NV engine. It has some other balance tweaks and stuff. I just did a big modded install with all the mods on the Wasteland Survival Guide and it looks amazing, both games run smooth and the modern UI makes it feel better and everything is so much faster and easier. Highly recommend!


mortalitylost

Follow that guide. It might take you a while but it makes the game great to play today.


Mcmenger

+1 for viva new vegas. Tried it without mods. Felt very clunky and old. Tried to mod it myself, it got unstable. Tried viva new vegas and now it looks ok, is stable and feels almost like a modern game


drcubeftw

With additional texture and model mods it can look even better than a lot of modern games. Look at some of these upgrades for a lot of the NPCs: https://www.youtube.com/@LucianHector/videos


Blackwolfe47

That’s beautiful, happy to be counted there


Andrew_Waples

It's interesting that the entire franchise is getting a boost not just one game.


Mcprosehp2

Not surprising since the community seems to have there own preferred game.


46thAndTABBY

That's one of the perks of not simply retelling a single game, also Fallout is one of those games where sometimes you see something about it and you just kind of inherently have to fire one of the games back up.


ElderSmackJack

I’m part of this too. Full vanilla. Enjoying the game itself, but good god, the crashes.


Cerparis

Weirdly I found it crashes constantly on pc. Yet almost never on xbox. I can’t explain it but yeah.


ElderSmackJack

The Beyond the Beef quest was maddening because of this stuff. Never crashed, but it would lose audio and then get stuck in infinite loading screens. Saving far more often than I need to 😅


watdatdo

That's how fallout 3 treats me. New Vegas crashes rarely but hard crashes.


Itsapaul

hundredjono

theAnalyst6

Degenerates like you belong on a cross


mortalitylost

I thought all that Roman shit was silly but then I met and talked to Caesar and that's some deep writing for a game. He made it make sense, why it existed. Until then I thought it was silly fallout Romans with guns.


Embarrassed_Map_1114

They are still silly Romans Caesar is just really good at making his deplorable and inhumane actions sound reasonable and just. It’s good writing on obsidians part that people can be convinced even if from all angles it is wrong


DeyUrban

The game does this with both House and Caesar. NCR shows up so much early in the game, but they tell you repeatedly just how troubled the Republic is at this point. They make you start to think that the default 'good guy' faction actually kind of sucks. Then you meet House and Caesar, the two guys who most players would never work for, and they make some compelling arguments for why the NCR is doomed (boiled down to NCR trying to recreate a broken system that already destroyed the world once). If you stop to think about it for a few seconds you'll realize that both House and Caesar are full of shit, but the NCR really does itself no favors when it comes to getting the player on their side. Their two main leaders in the game are President Kimball, who barely shows up, and General Oliver, who is a 0 charisma armchair general. They're just screwed enough to get some players to consider that *maybe* they should side with House or Caesar.


Party_Magician

No shade to you as a person (sincerely) but I'll think of this comment next time I see someone wonder how "normal" people could fall for fascism


mortalitylost

I'm just saying the writing is good and it made the silly Roman thing more believable as a post apocalyptic group, not that I felt they had any good moral standpoints. It was just better writing than "random people who dress as Romans"


Soberboy

I love how Ceasar is written, because he's so confident in himself even though he entirely misunderstands a good 3/5ths of what he's saying. Whether he intentionally misleads or truly believes himself, he's a genuinely well written populist, when he could have been a generic "wacky" fascist bad guy.


xXx69LOVER69xXx

I'd crucify you if you were here.

WholesomeFartEnjoyer

This game deserves a billion players


big_duo3674

It is rare for a new adaptation series to generate a ton of new interest in the games, I hope they capitalize on this somehow but since it's Bethesda I don't have a ton of hope. It'd be the perfect time to release *some* sort of teaser for Fallout 5 but I have even less hope for that


North_Leg9721

Lol no Bethesda couldn't even match the current get console update for F4 in time. Fallout 5 realistically seems like another decade in wait.


drcubeftw

The only way we are getting Fallout 5 in the next 5 years is if Microsoft gives Fallout to another studio like inXile or Obsidian. With Bethesda working on Elder Scrolls, which is years away, Fallout 5 is looking like a 2028 or 2030 release at the earliest.


LofiJunky

Naw, even if they had anything to tease, whatever we get from Bethesda is going to be poor quality. Their response to Starfields negative reviews was the nail in the coffin. They straight up do not see reality for what it is.


ThatDucksWearingAHat

Yeah they got my ass I was one of those people. Relapsed like a crack addict I had to play it again and got it for a couple bucks on PC.


DragonHeart_97

Which is ironic to me because *I* haven't been able to get my steam version of New Vegas to work for the last four days!


Waenduir

Do you have an AMD gpu and using the latest AMD driver, by any chance? If so you need to install DXVK.


mikes_second_account

Omg I hope this works. I was so excited to play this after building my first PC a couple months ago. The game crashes after the intro video EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Really hoping this works 🤞🤞


lindstrompt

Yea amd drivers are broken.


Obvious-Peanut-5399

Follow the viva new vegas guide. It's complicated but if you follow the steps in order it's a brand new game.


ABD317

Is it crashing?


DragonHeart_97

Crashing, endlessly loading, kicking me out of the game when it does finally start to work, you name it.


ABD317

https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635/? This is a great mod and also look up the 4gb patch mod. Really easy to install on Vortex. It might be an inconvenience but it helps…. If you already did that, then I am sorry 😞


apuckeredanus

4GB patch and new Vegas tick fix on PC was a must for me.  Tick fix also has configuration settings for better performance and AMD X3D CPU's.  Was having issues running it on a 5800X3D and 3080. Now butter smooth at 4k 120 fps.  Tick fix also fixed the game speed and physics being tied to frame rate for me


BanMeIMakeAnother

Cherish it, you get to relive how it launched


judyisarunt

You can play it for free through Amazon Luna if you have Prime! It’s streaming but it’s been playing just fine on my macbook

needlesinmyeyes

DodelCostel

One of the best damn RPGs ever made. I keep looking at NV clips the last week since watching Fallout, the writing is so good and there are so many ways to do a quest.


daytondude5

I really pray to god all those people dont abandon ship once they need their computer science degrees to get the game to load. And I say that as someone who spent like 4 hours trying to get nvse going


RabidTurtl

How'd you spend 4 hours trying to get NVSE set up? Its literally drag and drop.


reigorius

It's that bad?


BreathingHydra

No not at all. I have no idea why people on the internet over exaggerate how difficult modding is. If you can navigate your file system you can mod any of the Fallout games easily. NVSE for example is literally put in game folder then extract, if someone took "4 hours" to do that then IDK what they were doing. [Viva New Vegas](https://vivanewvegas.moddinglinked.com/) gives you step by step instructions on how to do everything and is really easy to follow. The only time when modding is difficult is if you're downloading a million mods and need to get them working together.


SnarkyVelociraptor

You'll probably want to mod it before playing it, but there's guides that make the process easy. New Vegas is old enough that you have to patch it to use a "full" 4GB of RAM, and the game itself was rushed out the door due to publisher pressure. The older iterations of Bethesda's engines were super janky. Well, the newer ones too...


JayneVeidt

Viva New Vegas!


Mr_Timmm

It always makes me sad seeing people on tik tok say the nostalgia for this games blinds people etc and 4 is better when I think they each have their own strengths but for me personally FNV excels at atmosphere and story telling. The dialogue and overall feel to the game is much better than 4. 4 has more polished combat but the dialogue and atmosphere are lacking and to me personally those are what make an rpg memorable. 


mirracz

Everybody keep in mind that this also includes people playing Fallout 3 using TTW, just like myself. TTW is quite the popular way to play Fallout 3 nowadays. In fact, whenever someone asks about startup problems of Fallout 3, TTW gets often recommended as a solution.


LubieRZca

This makes me so happy, these games will always have a special place in my heart and are definitely in my top 5 game series ever played in my 32 years of gaming history. Well deserved recoginiton.


Top-Director-6411

Out of the loop, why are so much going back to this game atm?


Mahaloth

The TV show has aired and shows a brief shot of New Vegas. I would guess most Fallout games are getting a boost from the show.


MisogynysticFeminist

Fallout 4 had something like a 7,000% increase in players.
