Eeeeexcellent. Hardcore will be very interesting to try, and the melee specials sound awesome. I know where my 17th birthday money is going...

Hmm interesting.
I approve of the addition.
Gives it a good replayability. No way I'm playing through it on hardcore the first time though, frig that :p
Hardcore is for the replay.

Usually I couldn't care less about a lot of the typically overdone "extreme" and "hardcore" junk you find in games, like some of the God of War and Devil my Cry stuff. Doesn't feel fun or challenging so much as something for certain people to burn time on.
This offering for the new Fallout though, I'm looking forward to it.

Well that would be cool if FO 3 didn't already have that with mods. Everything they are saying has been done with FO3 Wonderer's edition. So I don't know how pumped I am going to be about this, considering that I am in a way paying for something I can get free, but it is to early to see how much is the same and changed from FO3 and its respectable mods.

I actually kind of want an achievement associated with this, I mean if completion on hardcore mode isn't an achievement, then what the hell is?

Did the dehydration come from FO 1 and 2? I sometimes got a message that said i coudn't find enough water so i lost 2 or 3 hitpoints.Anyway if this game is as hard as the first 2 were in the fact you can die in 1 hit im game
Fallout 1 had dehydration when you were traveling through the desert.

There better be a requirement to eat food as well. Basically I want it to be another STALKER game with more survival segments. After all, I do merge from /v/ which is basically people complaining about every video game aspect.

I need to make some money. Too many good games over the horizon....

So, anyone wanna buy a spare kidney?
Why sell a kidney when you can sell part of your liver? It grows back, anyway.

Not sure I would enjoy hardcore mode. Realism is one thing, but I play games to escape....

Hopefully when you're in buildings it takes a lot longer to dehydrate compared to being out in the desert.

Just for that whole "whack 'em the balls move", I'm getting this.
That might just be for the golf club weapon.

Speaking of odd BioShock similarities, anybody else want to gore a supermutant with a Drone Cannon from Mothershp Zeta?
I guessed.
Looks like I'll only be using the golf club as a melee weapon!

They better make some sort of ball holding stagger animation, or I shall be raging.

Good for them. Hopefully this will quiet some of the gluttons for punishment that complained about FO3 simply because of its difficulty.

I, for one, will never use this option though. Upon getting into the wasteland I promptly cheated my character to max level even though I was playing on easy mode. From then on I played a really enjoyable game of storytelling and exploration.

Sounds like the ORIGINAL fallout, I was lugging around 150 lbs of ammo and wondering why the crap I was out of capacity, then realized that my minigun was the least of my weight issues.
Although, the water system sounds a bit more interesting...

Damn it. I know a game that did that...WHAT WAS IT?!
I think most Bioware games, when you try to bash the thing open you run the risk of damaging it.
No it was a JRPG.

I remembered, btw. INFINITE UNDISCOVERY!
It was done on KOTOR the generation before IU.

I'm liking the sound of hardcore mode, although I got bored of Fallout the same way I got bored of Morrow Wind. You quickly become far too powerful and it saps all the fun from the game. I did not finish either.

Yessss.

I always thought Fallout needed more of a "pick your battles" vibe, rather than the "I can just keep shooting and I'll win" thing they had going.
In response to this i agree and hopefully only make the enemies look at you I was sick of trying to sneak around DC when a mutie would attack me even though it couldn't see me.
