So, general opinion is that Dead Money was crap? It's on sale on Friday, but maybe I'd be better off waiting for a GOTY edition?

Out of all the Fallout DLC to date i'd rate Dead Money as the shortest and worst. The puzzle end of things boils down to find the loads of key required to open certain doors and the combat side of things sucks.

TerrorFirmer · 01-04-2011 4:04am

Dead Money is atrocious. I wouldn't rate it as bad as Mothership Zeta or Anchorage, but it doesn't trail far behind. It's not very Fallout, more a cheap survival horror that looses its appeal about 15 minutes in.

So is Dead Money really going for 400 points today on Xbox Live or is it an April's Fools joke?

At work so can't check the Xbox.

There are gangs around the wasteland in NV too, Jackals and a few others, though it's not quite as random I agree. It's also ridiculous some of the XP points, getting like 10xp for killing heavily armed enemies, and then 50xp for literally punching a baby scorpion to death....

Those gangs aren't a problem though once you level up to a decent level

and have a decent gun.

Lads, I got to gun runners. They don't sell any decent firepower... Does stock changes now and then? Or I need higher level to be offered some better stock?

Hold (Left Bumper, Right Bumper & X) Do Not Release until after the Bethesda\Obsidian Logo comes up. This clears just the virtual memory cache for the game

Should improve things a bit for you.

I reinstalled and di the trick you told about. Dunno which one, but it helped... Do you get some sort of notification that it worked? I mean that catch reset?

P.s. I camt believe I am 27h in already... And I only now entered strip... Thought I left to black mountain now.

I noticed that caps are so much easier to come by now!!! I got like 13k and I have no idea how... Got full inventory of stuff which worth 1k am item too, and my barter is like 20...

Anayher thing: you camt have rec and e-de at same time?

I wanted to get this game back in 2010 but I heard that there were too many technical problems . I also heard about the patch that came out in december.

CAn anyone tell me if the game still has technical problems or not? Should i get the ps3 or the 360 version( or does that even matter). I dont want to buy the game if its still too glitchy.

Thanks in advance.

ShadowHearth · 10-04-2011 10:37pm

38 hours in. One major glitch was with long loadings. Sorted by reinstalling game and clearing catch. I dont even notice some minor bug now and then.

Well worth a try m8, even if there are few bugs. It's cheap to get these days.

ShadowHearth · 10-04-2011 10:38pm

P.s. New dlc is out April too.

PS3 Version, first half not so glitchy but the second half was very glitchy (defo got worse as the game went on). No real fix for the consoles (maybe clearing the 360 cache helps?)

As I have noticed it's miss and hit with those glitches and bugs. Some poeple don't have many if them where's some people are just burrows in bugs.

As for me: I had that long loading gremlin, it was sorted with reinstalling the game + clearing cache. Redraft too obviously. That on 360 thought. I have it on pc too but I am not much in play time wise. So far nothing bad.

It's a picture of a character fighting another character in the wasteland. I'm shocked to be honest. They won't have wanted that leaked.

ShadowHearth · 11-04-2011 6:50pm

Hmmm I know that I am exited about dlc, but I am 40h in and still not completed much of a game lol.

Btw all these achievements on xbox can be completed in few games? Or you have to do all of it in one go? I mean those 10k Healt with swimpacks or 10k damage with unarmed? Do all melle weapons count as unarmed?

ShadowHearth · 11-04-2011 8:40pm

Lol just had one of these "loled" moments.

My rexy was standing near me, when a thug came near and starred conversation with Rex.... "find yourself a girl or a gay" then he walked away and rexy had an interesting look to say least

I did them all in one, with the exception of the ending ones, you need to be smart about your saves there. My main problem with the heath one was I was playing on hardcore for that achievement so couldn't actually carry much food and was relying on stims, I used the 'drowning method' to get that in about 10 minutes.

I used the ballistic fist for the unarmed one if i recall, most of the bats etc count as melee and not unarmed.

How much stims and food would you need for those achievements m8?

I have 850 points on my first playthrough with Dead Money installed and completed, the majority can be gotten in one playthrough. The ones I haven't gotten are alternative storyline endings, banned from the strip and a few other gambling related ones I'm not pushed on. It's easy to get Melee/Unarmed and the food at once, just buy a load of food, go around killing people with the necessary weapons and when you're low on health, just eat all the food at once. You can get 700-1000 food points that way at a time. I waited until I was finished and at level 30 before randomly going around to settlements killing people to get all the 10,000 point achievements for melee/unarmed/energy/food... I played on Hardcore mode....the stimpak one will unlock naturally over the course of the game really, as did the gun one for me.

ShadowHearth · 11-04-2011 9:35pm

Cheers lads. What about companion ancievment? Do I have to have them all at once with me? Or I just need to trigger them to join me? As I got that caravan girl killed by silver rush bastords

TerrorFirmer · 11-04-2011 10:57pm

Yup, just have to trigger them, so once they're recruited, doesn't matter what happens them. It'd only be a problem, if any of them died before you recruited them.

You could go about collecting food or ....................

Just go to a lake, walk in and drown yourself when you are nearly dead walk back out look down and drink the water

I see what you did there! Unfortunately I am playing as
Semigood fella now. On my second game I will go bad ass melee psychopath, and yes I will take that perk

. Yummy!

Does water count as food? So restoring health 10k hp with water in the lake will get me achievement for food?

Btw stim only give me 10hp and my med skill is like 60! It will be alot of damn stims I tell ya....
