Patrolling the Dead Money complaint forums almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

after getting back to the mojave anybody else like: Thank GOD! :celebration: lol i put on vera's outfit(it's a very nice tux if your a man) and went to vegas

i already have a cane. I'm going to sell one of my 3 gold bars then go to the ultra lux and just sit back and relax.

Assasin's suit? Ooh that sounds like it could be really cool.

Dead money was a huge disappointment, its simply not fun, just walk from point one to point two, kill the same enemy a couple dozen times in extremely predicable formats.

I am about half way through and I quit, it was that unbearable.

Dont get it, dont waste your time on it, and dont expect any fun from it.



What a disappointment, well back off to Fallout 3.

This is not fallout to me, a very poor dlc

Please don't make the other dlc anything like this one Bethesda, its like a zombie type run or die fest, awful

Upon entering the station, my collar starts beeping, I have no clue whats happening, I run to a terminal, panic and wonder what I'm meant to do. *Boom*. Dead. ( Suffice to say, I was not impressed. )
Reloads, ran past he terminal, into the basemant. Becoming forever more annoyed at this mechanic.( Something which detracts from gameplay, forces me to keep to a path and just plain bores me? Good thinking Mr.Developer )

So, I'll skip some. I get the first follower, and my levels of disappointment are high, not beyond saving, but you have forever lost my faith.

Obsidian made it and I found that it was more story driven than "run and gun".

I have finally made it to the vault. I think I have 15 hours in it so far and that doesn't include the restart (50 deaths at least) or the ending. I will say that it is worth the 10 bucks. Replay value is not high, but the first time through it will feel like a real achievement to finish (especially on hardcoe). I have never been so low on health and weapons (level 33), and so anxious to turn a corner - except maybe the Dunwich building. Even near the end the enemies are tough to take. I did notice that I can have 95% in vats on a limb and fire 4 shots and not hit anything (100 guns) and shooting a gas bomb before it blows up is impossible for me. I can't imagine someone finishing this less than 8 hours (as some have posted). I would give it a 8.5/10.

Ok..Just before you all read on, this might contain spoilers. I'm new, so I don't know how to spoiler tag things yet. So, SPOILERS



Ok, I'm making an account because for the first time, in a long time I have been genuinely disappointed. I was counting down the days until this DLC was released, mocking my PC and PS3 friends about our exclusive DLC. So, I woke up quite happy to switch on my xbox and Download the Brand new DLC. I coughed up the ￡8(ish) required and set it on download. ( skip 10 mins....)

I load up Fallout New Vegas, excitedly waiting to embark on a new adventure, to explore and become immersed in a world I love so deeply. I load into my game and immediately set off to find the entrance to the new area. Bringing my "Kick-ass inventory" and Boone, just to complete my "Win combo". I head to the bunker and enter. The sign says the usual, like it did with the pitt. I continued and got knocked out by gas. At that point, I seen the pop ups. Boones returned to Novac. I was a little disappointed. But then remembered that their were three other followers in the DLC, so I decided to dismiss that complaint.

I wake up infront of some old man in a plain and dull environment, I listen to some hologram waffle on. ( This is were I started to lose faith. I listen to all dialogue, I experiment with every choice. But this, it bored me.) He tasks me with finding some people no problem says me, thinking I had all my awesome gear. I get control back and all I have is some pants rifle. I frowned, but continued. I fought my way paste two "Ghosts" which, took too many shots and was just plain boring and found my way to the police station.

Upon entering the station, my collar starts beeping, I have no clue whats happening, I run to a terminal, panic and wonder what I'm meant to do. *Boom*. Dead. ( Suffice to say, I was not impressed. )
Reloads, ran past he terminal, into the basemant. Becoming forever more annoyed at this mechanic.( Something which detracts from gameplay, forces me to keep to a path and just plain bores me? Good thinking Mr.Developer )

So, I'll skip some. I get the first follower, and my levels of disappointment are high, not beyond saving, but you have forever lost my faith.

The second follower, is in "Trap land" or as I now call it: "lets completely piss off any user ever land" with enough coins to afford one doctors bag, I decided to make the purchase ( Something which was wise...) And made my way through the area, (Light step perk made this very easy.) Having to disarm everything for the sake of my follower. This bored me. It was getting to the point where I was actually wondering if this wasn't some sick Joke. I get to the second guy. (Wounded, with low health and one stimpack ). Talk to him ( skipped dialogue, When someone as RPG mad as me skips dialogue...YEAH YOU DONE SOMETHING WRONG! ) After talking to him, he says theirs a shortcut back. Delighted at not having to fight through any dull environments and boring enemies, I followed. Only to be lead into the "Gas of fun"...I quickly lost the follower in the maze of streets and ended up dying from the gas. ( Yay...NOT ) Reload. I skip through his dialogue again and spend the next five minutes fighting my way through the same boring way which I came, to avoid going though the "Gas of stupid design choice". Needless to say, I was getting pretty annoyed.

Skip again....third follower. For this I'm not even going to explain it. I just ran, avoided everything and saved at every doorway. I rushed through, skipped her dialogue and rushed back. End of. ( Anger levels rising still.)

After collecting all the followers, the hologram man then told me I had to take each of the followers to a designated point, I took one look at my map, seen how far off it was and said No. I quit, reloaded a save a made outside of the DLC area and continued on playing the main game and exploring the "Fun, free-roaming" world with my "Cool kit".



END OF SPOILERS.

So, I can say this has been the worst purchase on DLC I have made and I am extremely disappointed. To any others having thoughts of purchasing this, do yourself a favour and don't. I'm already passing along the message to my PC and PS3 fans to pass this DLC up if and when it's released multi-platform.

TLDR version:

Waste of money. Do not get.

I love that the people complaining would have made their play a lot easier if they just stop listened and thought before leaping into a situation. the traps were set so if you tried to run like a spaz you would hit the traps.

Notice how those complaining dont even know who made the game...


I played normal, but yes it felt like an achivement, the dlc was brutal at parts. A maze, with poison gas, lots of traps, ghost people, panicing trying to find the speakers, and the damn holograms. It felt more rewarding than finishing fallout 3s last mission which was just watching prime blow [censored] up.

I love that the people complaining would have made their play a lot easier if they just stop listened and thought before leaping into a situation. the traps were set so if you tried to run like a spaz you would hit the traps.

I finally finished it and I have few complaints...

1. I wish they would have told you at the beginning you wouldn't be coming back here >.<
2. That confronting Dog in the kitchens inside the Sierra Madre Casino wasn't so freaking annoying! And was explained better..
3. That the quest for confronting dean was a little more straight forward when you needed a key..
4. Better options for healing. Although I made it, it got on my nerves a few times.
5. THE OPTION TO TRAVEL BACK! At least to the villa areas.. <- Only Major complaint.

Other then that stuff (Which was mostly minor) I found it to be a ton of fun! I would give it a 8/10.
