Utterly Mad

FNV is pretty good, the DLC is garbage, but FNV is good. actually, old world blues was really good DLC. love dat aural stealth suit.

I eenjoyed honest hearts and lonesome road.

For honest hearts it could be that I could FINALLY GET A F*CKING TOMMY GUN.

Lonesome Road I liked Ulysses. He was an interesting character with a voice like Morgan freeman.

F*ck dead money

dude that link in your post leads to what appears to just be an ad website.
Also, I actually quite enjoyed Honest Hearts and Old World Blues, Lonesome Road was okay. I really enjoyed the change of scenery in Honest Hearts, and I actually like some of the tribal characters. They were interesting but IDK.

Well **** I thought people actually learned to like Dead Money and the New Vegas DLCs. I personally think all the DLCs (exception being The Pit and Pointlookout) in 3 were ****ing garbage, with Mothership Zeta ****ing me off so bad when I played through it a second time for one reason: (It's suggesting that Aliens stole the nuclear launch codes from some dude they abducted, took the codes by force, and caused the American nukes to be launched creating the world of Fallout. Which absolutely ****es on the whole message that Fallout brings about conflict and how human nature never changes.)


I like the DLCs in New Vegas a ****ton more better, for the variety, theming, and that storyarch I've yet to finish. I've played all the DLCs equally with Lonesome Road being the exception, after I get bored with Skyrim, I'm going to be marathoning New Vegas like nobody's business. I liked the first half of Dead Money for being straight up survival horror, to the point that you pansies probably turned off **** mode (I DIDN'T LOOK AT ALL MY VIRGIN NERD CRED), I loved the Father of the Cave story in Honest Hearts (its honestly worth buying the DLC for that side story alone, and actually made me tear up in both sadness and rage) along with the 45. guns, and Old World Blues was just badass no matter how much you love or hate it. And once I finally decide I'm finished with my New Vegas playthrough, I'll come back with my thoughts on Lonesome Road, I feel that there should be a finality to beating Lonesome Road before the end quest; it only fits thematically that way for me.


Dead Money Rant
Dead Money, I actually replayed this one a month back and let me tell you, going in with the mindset that its going to be survival horror really helped me cope with the atmosphere and torture that is Dead Money. I will be the first to admit that I actually loved Dead Money when I first played it on the PS3, bugs and all, hell I even got both achievements and all the gold in the PS3 version. I liked the feeling of constant dread there was in it, New Vegas all things considered is a more light hearted game then its predecessor, so having a DLC that says, "NO! Thats not how surviving in a wasteland works, you're enslaved, everything is going to kill you, and that red smoke **** corrodes your lungs harder then your chainsmoking grandma."

So you're scavenging ammo, constantly hoarding supplies (in hardmode), crafting useful ****, and actually trying to scrape by more so then you would in the base game. You didn't bring your **** along, your followers noped out, and the people you had were weird enough to be lovable. And it was the only DLC that made me take a break from how intense it was. Overall I would rate the first part of Dead Money (before the Gala) a solid 9/10. Why one point off? I hated how the game would just pound you with the damn ghost people.

Now for the second part of Dead Money when you're actually in the Madre, I will agree is **** poorly made, its all trial and error bull**** that almost made me retract what I defended it for. But the final part where you raid the vault and the message that "Greed and vengeance will lead to a stupid and bloody end." Really ties into the whole Ulysses story-arch that just started in the background. And the fact that you aren't supposed to take all the gold (it didn't stop me) to learn that money isn't everything kinda says something about the player if he tries his damnedest to get all the bars out.

Fallout 3 pissed me off.  I found it obnoxious how they transplanted every major plot point/player from west coast to east coast and didn't even do it well.  Add in the shit DLC to get the 'real' ending because the original ending sucked so bad was just the turd cherry on top of the shit cake of plot.  Almost as bad as Mass Effect 3's ending. 

Ulysses is my favourite FNV character, perhaps even my favourite character from the entire series, although I do like Marcus quite a bit too, came from The Masters army and ended up being real fückin chill.

Lonesome Road is probably my favourite of the DLCs, but I think that's because I enjoy Ulysses character, voice acting and personality so much, I find nothing about him dislikeable.
Old World Blues was enjoyable for me but actually felt a little too tedious, I didn't like the characters there after about half an hour and the enemies were a chore to deal with often, the boss battle was unexpected and fun though.
Honest Hearts was reasonable, I don't really dislike anything about it and that goddamn father in the caves storyline made me tear up a bit, which is a difficult reaction to get from me in video games. Characters were quite interesting for the most part.
Dead Money. **** you Dead Money. I hated you and 'kind of liked' you at the same time. The actual villa area surrounding the **** was interesting enough, but never at any point except the first 5 minutes did I feel like I was desperate for resources, so I never felt like I had to survive any more than normal. Within the C@sino was boring, monotomous and repetitive, the most uninteresting thing I have ever played in my entire life, I barely cared about the storyline because it related to all the characters but Dog/God and he was the only one I liked and cared about. The ending irritated me because I have to obsessively horde things, I can't help it, I didn't want the gold but I couldn't leave it there. The small amount you sort of could escape with didnt feel like reward enough for the DLC either, since the equipment from it was all useless.
GRA was nice, but badly implemented, having two different versions of so many different weapons and mods was irritating, confusing and ****ing lazy.
The pre-order packs are all sort of meh, I've got sick of them since it's impossible for me to actually disable them, even when I disable them I still get the items and I never use any of them, so I have to sit through annoying messages going through the packs and then take time getting rid of the items every time.


The base game of FNV was good, definitely an improvement over what Bethesda did with Fallout 3, but Obsidian are a better company, for the most part (Female characters having worse stats than most male characters)
The DLCs slowly got better, improved in both gameplay and storyline as they went along, it was nice that the storyline of all of them joined together too, but not in such a way that forced you to play the other DLCs to understand what was happening in that DLC.
The characters for the most part aren't as memorable as Fallout 3 though with some exceptions.

Boone is also my favourite vanilla companion. I ****ing hate Veronica, Cass is just a bit annoying. Lilly I can't be bothered dealing with and I actually quite like Arcade.

every time I play fallout 3 I forget one very important thing. liberty prime. The best part of that whole game for me. stomping around, pitching warheads like baseballs, and spouting anti communist propaganda while I get to follow it and watch.

How could I forget gun runners arsenal? that was a great DLC with the gun modifications and shit. I hated lonesome road so much alright honest hearts was alright simply because of location.
