Fallout New Vegas : Chernobyl In Vegas #REVIEW NO.34
Fallout New Vegas uses a game engine very similar to Fallout 3. It does not look like so many obvious changes in the eye. Some fundamental differences with Fallout 3 additional contract was actually a very interesting game. New things that you can meet in this game will be presented for you in a moment. In addition to changes in the game, you can also discover new, explorable areas of New Vegas.
If you have never played a game Fallout 3 does not mean you can not play this game. The story brought in this game is totally unrelated to Fallout 3. Fallout New Vegas is an Action Role Playing Game (Action RPG) packaged in First Person Shooter (FPS) and Third Person Shooter games. The look does look like a regular shooter, but the game system relies on statistical calculations as a RPG. So, you will find a lot of RPG elements in this game, like the increase in level, a variety of equipment that could be found, and the mission that abound in number.
At the beginning of the game, you will be taken towards character creation. Unlike other RPG games that instantly direct you to the character creation screen, this game incorporates it into the story. So, you do not feel like you're in a character creation screen. Once you determine which statistics are divided into seven sections, you are also required to determine the trait or the nature of your character.
Your character stats are divided into seven characteristics that are abbreviated SPECIAL. SPECIAL is an acronym of the first letters of the seven statistics, ie Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charm, Intelligence, Agility and Luck. Each of these statistics has an important role in shaping the character and skills that you have. For example, if you want to be a shoot expert, enlarge Agility statistics that affect "Gun" skills.
The trait also affect the development of your character. Each trait can be selected when you have reached the required level, required statistics, and skill level to achieve. So, you should first read all the trait that you can not choose to see the conditions. The importance of choosing the right trait is very important for your character. because, you can find a huge addition to your skills and skills. For example, you can use a trait that adds the power of the body, enhance accuracy, and make it easier to sneak characters like ninjas.
If you do not particularly like using FPS shooting skills, you are also offered a more attractive attacking method. You can use VATS system. Using this system, you simply press a button and the game will go into the shooting screen. On this screen, the enemies in front of you will be divided into sections that can be shot. For example, a human-shaped enemy is divided into parts of the head, body, left and right hands, left and right legs, and the weapons it holds. Each section has an accuracy percentage figures. Your success to hurt that part is determined from this number. The bigger the number, the greater your chances of success.
Every part of the enemy's body has an independent energy level. So you can keep shooting just one part of the body until the energy runs out. Parts of the body has depleted its energy will experience paralysis (cripple). In effect, the enemy will experience a penalty in the ability that requires that body part. For example, you paralyze the right hand, then the weapon it holds will loose and its power will be reduced drastically! Then, what about the foot? The enemy will decrease in speed. Very effective for lively enemies and attack with melee weapons! Because, they will be difficult to approach you and you can keep a distance with the enemy. However, you must remember that your character also has the same system of damage. So, the enemy can make you paralyzed and reduce the ability of your character.
This game prefer the exploration and completion of the mission than killing an enemy that seemed endless. Therefore, there are quite a lot of dialogs and options that you can find in this game. However, the choices you encounter are mostly influenced by the skills you have. For example, to convince someone to give you the dynamite it has, you must have a high explosive skill. Typically, the dialogue gained in this way will give you the ease and bonus of the equipment, but not change the course of the story.
The workbench is an interesting feature that you can find in this game. The main concept of this feature is to make something of the useless material you collect. Almost all the necessary materials are unusable items, such as Metal Scrap, Wonderglue, and gasoline tanks. However, having such material alone is not enough. You must also have enough skill. For example, on a workbench to make a bullet requires a high Repair skill. While the workbenches to create objects that are useful for adventures, such as Stimpak and Repair Kits, require Science skill.
Survival skills play an active role. You can cook a variety of meats and food ingredients that are toxic (radiation) becomes more safe for consumption. Just find a campfire scattered in various corners of wasteland and you can cook there. In addition to reducing the need for food and beverages, things are prepared in the campfire there are also that adds thirst and your hunger. However, usually this kind of thing has the additional capability while, like adding statistics and skill level for a few minutes.
In this game is also shown a good reputation system. If you often do well with one city or faction, for example, carrying out the mission of a particular city, then you will have a good reputation there. As a result, you will be more trustworthy and get a considerable discount when buying goods. Then, what if you do evil and killing members of a particular faction? Of course they will hate and chase you all the time.
If you are a gamer who attach great importance to high quality display, this will definitely make you feel uncomfortable. This shortage is fortunately not so meaningful in the eyes of gamers who really liked Fallout 3 and the form of game he carries. New features shown in this game is a very high value. The addition is right for the game that has had a good game shape makes it more comfortable to play. So also with the Hardcore mode that makes the adventure in wasteland become more original.
However, there are some things that can bother you when playing. Several times we were caught in a rock while trying to climb the hill. In addition, we also found this game crashes and hangs a few times. Usually happens when we often do Quick Load. VATS screen is also a bit slow bring up the percentage of body parts you want to attack .. Overall, this game is an old but new Fallout. Fallout New Vegas cultivate the game Fallout 3 into something new, more interesting, and tasty played.
