That Fallout Shelter game finally got ported to Android, goodbye concentration....

I named a kid Schploft Afterblong, then everybody became depressed and got killed during a radroach infestation

 

 

hah, I'm actaully really struggling with it, it seems like if I don't open the app to collect stuff every 10 minutes everybody starves/becomes irradiated.

I'm struggling too, both food and water are all very low and that doesn't seem to improve a lot. Unless you "rush" certain rooms, maybe. But that's where the dangers are because you can get a fire or radroach infestations if it fails. At first I tried to just let everything idle, make everyone starve to death. But that doesn't seem to happen. It seems you're practically safe if you don't rush any rooms. Weird.

 

Still, it's a fine little thing to get into the Fallout 4 mood a bit.

You'll need a specific type of balance between the rooms, with a slight priority on diners (upgrade them ASAP). It's important to have the right people assigned to the right rooms and preferably with outfits that boost relevant skills. It's important not to have redundant /non-essential rooms because they use power like a motherfucker. It's hard to balance all this out until you have enough dwellers, but you'll get the hang of it. My vault is pretty self sufficient, it's low on food because I'm breeding them like rabbits and sending people to gyms to boost stats, but it never goes in the red.

Cheers man, think I'll start a new vault with this perspective in mind.

yeah this isn't going to catch on for the reason bitroast mention. Pokemon was perfect because of the fairly obtuse granularity of actions and turn based nature of combat.

progress in any of the Souls games is hard but possible with perseverance. definitely doesn't lend itself to streaming play though, unless the player spectacularly loses their temper and thus provides lols.

 

the only thing I avoided due to the sheer difficulty/frustration factor when playing Scholar of the First Lol was optionally taking on the Smelter Demon a second time in one of the DLCs. fuck the Smelter Demon, most annoying boss fight ever.

i actually took the smelter demon all the way to ng+6 with bonfire ascetics because the xp that came off those easy as fuck knights was insane. i ended up on level 280 while on NG+1. He was irritating but i there was way worse. ormstien and smough, seriously fuck those arseholes.

Apparently Valve are demoing the HTC Vive at EGX this year. Very tempted to check that out, even though Birmingham is a shit hole.

Anyone been before? I don't wanna buy tickets and end up not being able to try stuff. All the early access tickets have sold out so it's probably gonna be rammed as soon as I get there.

Game requires too much precision .. can't see this catching on beyond initial wow factor of "twitch plays (difficult game)".

More entertaining to watch the guy beat it with bongos controller or dance pad or guitar...

Looks like they've broken it .... Just sitting by the bonfire with no moves doing anything.

EDIT: Ah they've back again !

This is so retarded

who would want that^

 

damn console designs like that always looks so cheap and tacky.

Bc it comes with a free copy of Battlefront maybe

 

It now looks like the console also includes a bonus disc of old games including: Super Star Wars, Star Wars: Racer Revenge, Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter and Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. So maybe there will be a premium on the price, hopefully not too much as it's a 2 year old machine now.

 

Bonus games are just download vouchers after all, no physical disc.

The same guy beat Dark Souls 2 in 1:33 this way.

Ended up buying tickets for EGX. Got a gig in Birmingham the same night, so that's ideal scheduling for me.

Hoping I get to catch Chet Faliszek's developer session.

Dark souls 2 is a real tugowar between moments of enjoying it and then being overwhelmed by lacklustre level design/unfair shitty challenges/boring boss fights and confusing game progression. Beat a boss and literally end up in a square room with nothing in it but a bonfire in middle that warped me out of there. Reminded me of the quake level editor days and my first piss poor attempts of bland level creation. Im spending more time staring at the bonfire warp list trying to figure where to go next compared to exploring the world.

Still, fun at times. But man. What a weird unbalanced game.

Feels more like Dark Souls: Online than mere Dark Souls 2.. Which is weird cos dark souls is online anyway lol

played new cod beta for about an hr. feels like the worst one in years (and that's saying something). can totally see myself skipping this one

After everything I've heard about DS2, I think I'm gonna skip it and wait for 3 to come out, in the meantime there's always Bloodborne, which DS3 seems to be moving toward combat/mechanics-wise

I thought DS2 SotFS was great. but it's the first Souls game I've owned/finished, so

New place doesn't have Internet yet, so booted up Hohokum which I got free from PSN+ and I haven't touched yet. Opening level greets you with the very lovely A Walk by Tycho, I think there are a few other Tycho tracks in the game as well. Really good fun, I love the style and sound design of it. The puzzles can be a little too obtuse at times but I've found I can figure stuff out eventually, so far.

That's a great game, Oceans.

Finished the Dragons Keep DLC for BL2 and found it to be surprisingly playable. Maybe because I was slightly overlevel so I could mostly skip the boring shooting parts. Pretty good overall. The Hammerlock one was dreadful though.

Playing GTA V at the moment. Good game.

Yeah. Is tricky!

By all means im enjoying it and still think its a sick game.

But theres somthung missing that the other games got that this one doesn't. You could call it outright nitpicking tho, if someone whos played it but not the others can't fault ds2.

See now im enjoying the game again actually, come think of it. When i wrote the prior post i was in much more negged out pissed off state of mind. Its a back n forth tugowar :>

For anyone thats played the souls games and skipped 2 i would say.. its still worth checking out. Theres fun to be had in it for sure 100%.

Its impossible to play it (for me at least) without comparing it to the others but i still am enjoying playing it.

Which is my case. This is the only Souls game I haven't tried yet, even though I own a copy of it on PS4. I have beaten the 3 other games since last winter and I think I need a break instead of jumping right into DS2. All those games are a bit too similar to rush through all of them.

ffs

So I managed to get some decent balance going, things sometimes went in red, but mostly remained green, managed to get a rocket launcher, and managed to give a substantial amount of dwellers guns and equipment. Then out of nowhere I get a radroach infestation, only 8 of my 24 dwellers survived. Wtf. I survived two raider attacks before that without any deaths. Everyone was at decent health, but those radroaches kept on coming. Wtf wtf wtf

Should I just remove all the bodies and continue? Don't want to lose all that equipment, but reviving is costly...

How do you even manage to get people killed by radroaches!? I understand raiders can be a bitch but radroaches die if you sneeze on them. Just send dwellers to adjacent rooms and try to have some kind of gun equipped. Probably helps to have stimpaks ready as well so get a lab started.

I don't know! It took quite an amount of rounds to just kill one for some reason... And it was one of those infestations that go to every room, so sending to different room was useless. It's true I didnt have a medlab... Was still too busy micromanaging everything else.

Still got dead bodies all over the place, what to do?
