The game is Fallout New Vegas. I’m going to mark this I beat Old World Blues today. I fought the giant robo-scorpion (I had to use up all my grenades left over from the death claw quarry to do it). I ended up lying and saying I was Mobius in order to beat it peacefully. I think for now I’m going to scavenge Stimpaks and other supplies before heading onto The Sierra Madre

One of my favorite things about this DLC is how they made the legendary bloatfly be one of the toughest enemies to kill. This bug has double the HP of the legendary deathclaw and can one shot you if you go in unprepared. I love this game so much.

NV ate soooo much of my life when it launched.

I'd never played a fallout game before.. but my local supermarket was selling it cheap as part of an offer with other games I was buying anyway. And I was thinking this games just launched and I'm picking it up for next and nothing.! Sweet.

Took a while for it to click with me. But once it did.... Oof. Looking back. I think if I'd have discovered the maze of repcon any earlier than I did I might have give up.

My Uncle gave me the Game for PS3 when he gave me his old Hand Me down around 13 years old. I only got to Honest Hearts on there but I love the game to death after getting past the intro

Very excited for you to take on the Sierra Madre! It's a pretty divisive DLC, people either really love it or really hate it. I personally really enjoyed it, but there are certainly parts of it where I can see how they'd make some people dislike it.

A few years ago when I was playing through 3 and 4 I spoiled myself and watched a let’s play. It’s definitely one of my favorites from what i saw. But ig I’ll have a chance to fully judge after I play. I just started it today

Those scorpions in the big empty are the worst enemies in the entire game. Always dumping entire mags into them just to whittle their hp down...

They’re a pain to fight but I love them because of how campy they are
