I really dislike power armour in this.
I hacked a terminal to open a huge set of double doors in a factory. All that was inside was an angry behemoth. That's cheeky.

It's my favourite Fallout power armour because1) it consumes resource, so I'm not tempted to lazily wear it all the time
2) it makes my HUD funny and it makes my character enormous in cutscenes and it makes my voice funny [1], so I really feel it when I'm in it
3) it costs lots of energy to sprint, so I have to stomp around slowly instead, which is fitting as I'm basically a walking tank now
4) because of all the above, there's a sense of occasion when I put it on
5) I think, because of the above constraints, it's much more powerful than in the other games (just a hunch but I seem to be untouchable when I'm inside it)
Or to put it another way: power armour in Fallout 4 feels like much more than a set of really big numbers on my character sheet. And I think that's ace.
[1] I actually remove my power armour helmet when I'm talking to people!
Whenever I'm wearing armour, I never wear the helmet. I very much feel you look a lot more like a donkey wearing the full armour suits.
I wear a helmet & patrolman sunglasses because it makes my toon look like Ferro.
I wear a militia hat and patrolman sunglasses. I don't know what a Ferro is.

I did know that, in hindsight. Wasn't readily brought to mind without context though.

Yeah, but I retain pretty much nothing you say, ever.

Case in point.
With Deliverer, I get... quite a lot... of attacks in VATS.
Whoah. I do love Deliverer.
Nuka-World is impressively huge, and has amazing locations.
So's your face.
Over the weekend I reached level 49. I have built multiple Emporiums in my base (Sanctuary) and started selling off the hojillion tons of random crap I have. I am sitting on 10k bottle caps and I've barely dented the stuff I have to sell. I guess I can stop scrounging and just buy shipments now. To that end, I've started to pivot my character to more of a solo stealth build -- plus I'm running out of interesting companions anyway. (I have the affinity for Piper, Deacon, MacReady, and Preston. I'm partway there with Danse and Curie. I also have Strong and Hancock but I don't care so much about them, although Hancock is quite funny.) I've taken Lone Wanderer I, will probably get II and Sneak soon.
I have Gun Nut 4 so my guns are now fearsome: I have a Violent .50 cal sniper rifle with long range recon scope for very long range work, Overseer's Guardian with a reflex sight and a silencer for close up, and The Last Minute (silenced, short recon scope) for serious shit-hits-the-fan moments eg. Surprise Deathclaw.
Silver Shadow was a great questline!
In the main quest line, I've reached...
In the mean time, I went off and started Far Harbor, as I wasn't sure what to do.

I really should play this some more. I sort of stopped and realised that a low INT build isn't as fun as I thought it might be.
Due to half five wake up times, I've picked this up again and gotten as far as getting into, and out again, The Institute. I am trying to have a bit of an explore, too, and found a Very Angry Sentry Bit this morning, and a robot racetrack. The Robot Racetrack pleased me, as I remembered life still goes on (unless I poison sword it) if a little crazily.
I am much enjoying it again and might buy DLC.

Smashy McBash has been hittimg the books and is now level 36 with INT 5, as you need science to tie things to a baseball bat.
Anyways, last night I had to. How on earth you could do this as a stealth build I dunno.
After that GREAT VICTORY, i went exploring and one hit a load of Supermutants with my hammer. I think i am almost done with main quest now, then on to something else for a while until i play the DLC.

Felt underwhelmed.

Is this worth getting? Bear in mind I cba to finish new Vegas.

For the money, now, yes. It isn't as good as 3 or NV, it seems to lack some of their charm, dialogue choices are rubbish, but you can attach a sawblade to a hammer. And then,another.

Depends on what you didn't like about the previous games. It's a lot more focussed on combat this time around and like 99% of quests boil down to 'talk to someone, go to a place and kill the people they want killed, return to original person for reward'. So it's more streamlined in a way but it lacks in variety and I personally didn't feel anywhere near as compelled to spend time exploring the world as I did with previous games.
I should probably play Fallout 4.
After Dark Souls.

I honestly fell out of love with Fallout 4 pretty quickly after the initial OMG Fallout! reaction...the story just didn't engage with me and I just wanted to get it over with as soon as possible (or find away of destroying all the factions).
I loved it. The base-building and manufacturing I thought was excellent, the story was okay (it's not like they're ever great) and the only real disappointment to me was the lack of weapon customisation like in New Vegas.

I liked it. It was good fun.
Wait, what am I talking about? It had loads of weapon customisation. Idiot.

That's within my budget if it comes with techno dicks and if it doesn't it'll only take a couple weeks to get there. Psvr soooooon

You don't need techno dicks except for a few games.
There are some where they aren't technically needed but significantly improve the experience though - such as Star Trek.

none of the games I've really enjoyed so far have needed them, I'd like some to try Superhot but that's it. Ultrawings, Skyrim, Resident Evil, Farpoint, Doom VR, GT Sport and the best PSVR game, Wipeout none of them need them. They're absolutely not a necessity.

Feexed by the guy who refused to engage with the entire multiplayer component of Bloodborne.
Mind you, I agree that if you’ve got the cash for VR it does provide unique experiences for games despite not being “necessary” (whatever that means in the context of entertainment) so those without VR can still enjoy the vanilla experience.

No one's said they're a necessity; the fact that they're technically optional isn't up for discussion.

Apart from Superhot, off the top of my head there's I Expect You To Die, Batman, Rec Room, Job Simulator. Hopefully soon, also Beat Saber. These games all leverage the inherently more natural-feeling technodicks to build more immersion and they simply don't work with a Dualshock.
Skryrim is (I am told) much better with technodicks too, and having tried both I much preferred Rush of Blood after I ditched the pad. And I cannot imagine playing Trek with a pad. It'd be hugely immersion breaking.
I think you're selling the platform short if you don't pick them up.

If you don't own them, then every game you've enjoyed hasn't needed them, by definition. If you haven't tried the games that do need them then you're not really in a place to advise, are you? Doctor Glyndwr wrote:

Wait, RoB is even playable with a controller!? Fucking hell, why would you even?

Don’t get mardy over it. I couldn’t care less whether you liked it or not. Fact is, you didn’t engage with the multiplayer aspect and wasted “part of the potential of the whole thing” which was amusing as you’re critiquing someone for something similar.

I read this as RoB the Robotic Operating Buddy from the NES as you could use a controller to play Gyromite instead of getting the robot to help.

In any case I'm only advising to go ahead and get a PSVR even if you can't afford techno dicks to go with it right away, because you'll have a great time and depending what sort of games you're even into you might never feel compelled enough to bother at all.

A necessity for bothering to get a PSVR.
Don't you have a wheel for playing PSVR driving games, Mark? IMO that's a necessity as playing with a pad would be so immersion breaking I'd rather not bother.
I don't think it's in any way controversial to say that games that are designed to support custom controllers often usually benefit from use of those controllers. Equally there are VR games that aren't designed that way.
