Well, fuck you, too, GMG. Fuck you, too.


E: My bank stopped the payment, though, so, idgaf, but what kind of scummy practice is this? I didn't even get to review the order before it totally processed, otherwise I'd have caught it.
 
It's amazing how they try to spin the price increase as a "gift for their fans"

Honestly, none of this stuff sounds all that interesting, nor enough to convince me to drop money on the base game. I'm surprised that there are people eagerly jumping on in the Gaming-side thread.

Far Harbor sounds like Point Lookout 2.0, but unless I see it in action, it's not worth $25. The other two sound like elements that should have been in the main game from the get-go, and/or have already been addressed by mods.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Wow $50 for the season pass? Damn.

If you wanna give up on them charge them back. Lately GMG support has been kind of shit with their new found popularity.

Yeah, I did just that. This isn't the first time they pulled this on me - except the first time, the game was only like $10 so I didn't care too much after a while. The way current exchange rates are set up, though, I stopped it.

Just gonna never touch that place again. I'd rather pay full price on Steam.

I'm alright for now. But the moment they screw me over it's done.

DoggsBodied is a pretty good name, I have to admit.

Well even since Adobe and Ubisoft started leaking my credentials willy nilly I've tried to create a unique username for each service. Thankfully in everyday life I've got a bajillion nicknames as it is so not too much different really.

im running out of british slang help me doogie

It's a'wight me old china, here's something to get your mince pies into.
 
If you're going into Dead Money, get the DM Free Roam and Gold Weight Fix mods.

Thank me later.

I've only done Honest Hearts and that was back when I was actually playing the campaign for the first time. I need to look up the order that's often recommended for the DLC before jumping back in.

Any reason why you're pushing those mods? I try to play the game as close to the developer's vision for the game as possible so the only mod i've installed is the better UI mod so that more than like 3 things are listed in menus at a time

Unless you want to deal with a cloud that rapidly sucks away your health or a collar that's equal parts annoying and infuriating, there is no sense dealing with the "developer's vision". Almost everyone who's played it (myself included) agrees that DM is the worst of the New Vegas DLCs, and this is coming from someone who just logged 200 hours into the game.
 
fallout 4 season pass is trash, 2 of them are things that modders will do as soon as they get access to the GECK, only 1 story dlc and they're planning on raising the price to $50. Lol, pass.

honestly, might just skip it then. If i have to mod a game or DLC to make it tolerable then i'd rather just not bother at all.

I'll say this.

The first time I played DM, I nearly quit the game altogether because it was so aggravating. Dealing with the monotonous level design while simultaneously trying to cope with the cloud and collar was incredibly tedious and anger-inducing.

With the two mods I mentioned, it's still difficult, but nowhere near as frustrating. It actually becomes much more enjoyable and allows you to soak in the story a bit more.

this is very untrue

a lot of people love dead money and the health stuff is not even that annoying, specially on normal difficulty. "everyone agrees dm is the worst" is like whatever dude, that's fucking wrong

it's my favorite out of the dlc, the story and characters are great, it setups some awesome mystery for the other dlc and it plays fine

don't skip it, it'd be very stupid to skip some great dlc just cos some dude on the internet told you so. try it out for yourself and see if you can deal with it. it's not really difficult and it's worth the mild annoyance of the poison crap

Take a read through the reviews on Steam. The "survival horror" elements of Dead Money are greatly maligned, and it's often considered the worst of the four DLCs. I even ran through it twice, which I wouldn't have done in the first place if I didn't have mods for it.

Even when I played it, I had recommendations here to use mods to alleviate the stupid mechanics.

And honestly, the companions aren't all that great.

It's got a high chance of being mine, just knowing my preference for all things FROM.
Dark Souls, Dark Souls 2, and Bloodborne have all been GOTY for me in the year they were released.

I feel pretty comfortable in saying that Uncharted 4, the true successor to Uncharted 2, will be your GOTY.
