Yeah. Just started it on survival. Enjoying it so far. Desperately trying to remember where beds are so I can save!!

The beds are a pain,especially when you've progressed,got low health are exhausted and can't find one, die = time wasted.
Set up camp in sanctuary initially.
Get levelled up a bit.
Then get yourself to Diamond City,Hangman's alley is the best base,because its very central to everything.
Once you get the vertibird grenades you're golden.

I've heard a few people suggest Hangman's Alley. Good idea. Looks like I'm going to need to be a bit smarter with my perk choices as well.

Unfortunately TW3 is the pinnacle IMO, it is literally the most perfectly crafted game that's ever been made.

If you're looking for a similar experience then I would say Skyrim, Fallout, RDR2 or one of the latter Assassin Creed games. All pretty massive, lots to do on the side and they'll keep you busy for a pretty long time.

Tried on ps4. Couldn’t get into it. Tried again on PC and same. I don’t know what It is because there is nothing wrong with the game. I guess I’ll try again some day.

TW3 by the way

I always went with the lone wanderer perks and emphasis on damage output.
Intelligence or Luck based.

Lone Wanderer is ace. Especially as it still works with Dogmeat as your companion. Saw on the F4 reddit thread that Idiot Savant is a decent choice for survival as you can level up far faster.

Yeah its OK if it triggers when you cash in an important mission.
If you look at idiot savant the first perk point or two are OK, then it's diminishing returns,the %of it triggering doesn't go up too much.
I found going high intelligence to be consistent in getting levelled up quick.
That said,if you're doing a character build based on Vats,putting lots of points into luck is the way to go.

Yeah, I tend to build around stealth with VATS and a VATS enhanced, silenced weapon like the Deliverer. Really good if combinded with Gunslinger perks.

That keeps me going until I can afford Overseer's guardian or that ridiculous explosive shotgun you can find in that floating raider camp. Once you have either of those two, combined with rifleman perks (as well as Gunsmith to upgrade), you can take most things down in 2 shots.

Think getting Deliverer early game in survival might be pretty much impossible though.

Should be possible.
Get to the railroad,get the mission with Deacon,get him to do most of the work, as he's immortal,get the gun.

It's way easier to get Danse's gun though,he can do that mission on his own.
The hardest part is winning the fight against the Ghouls before you "meet " him.
Lots of molotovs required,and stand well back.
Saying this because you can change the righteous authority into a pistol.

Thanks for the tips.

I've also got a damage mod installed that has helped 'balance' the game a little. Basically makes headshots one and done for humans, ghouls and supermutants. Really helps the immersion. One thing I hate about the game at higher levels is the bullet sponges you come across.

Not so much bullet sponging on survival.
That's why I used to love it so much,and when it got a bit too easy I'd fuck off to far harbour.....where it got harder again, ha ha.

Never did mods as they fucked with the achievements,may be different now though.

Anyway,enjoy your game pal and have a blast.
 
Can anyone recommend a decent car boot sale for retro video games? Also looking for any place around Manchester that does console repairs at a reasonable price...?
 
PES is dead. It's now efootball, free to play with 9 clubs in exhibition and then everything else you can buy DLC depending on what you want to play. Not sure whether I like the pick and choose approach given I just create custom competitions with hooky kits or whether it will just mean a larger overall cost. The key to PES is it's a much better game to play in terms of reflecting football, a lot more realistic, challenging and enjoyable so I hope the ethos remains. Couldn't stand it if the only genuine option was FIFA, the gameplay is the drizzling shits.
 
Ehh, we were able to upgrade the free version efootball on the sly, dunno if that will still be possible. More important tho will be the mods. If they make that impossible, then it truly is the end of the greatest football game series ever.

It's a slow start and although it isn't necessary, the fact that there's previous instalments means new players don't really know anything about the character they're playing with, their history or what's being set out - I always find character building is fundamental in RPG large world games.

There's also a whole lot to learn about the fighting, it doesn't make a huge difference to begin with but as you progress then you have to use certain weapons, spells and tactics to succeed which is relatively rare in modern times with a hack and slash approach.

But I really do hope you manage to get through more of it, slow and overwhelming for a bit but once you're in and invested I'm sure you'll love it mate.

Yeh I feared that it may have peaked with TW3! I'll give Skyrim and Fallout a blast since they're on game pass. Cheers for the recommendations.

Can only give them a bash mate and see what you think, can't go wrong with Skyrim to be fair - I recently replayed the Special Edition and forgot how good it actually was.

Kanomi almost had it in the bag, never get the licence’s thanks to ea, but the game-play was in a different league to fifa, fifa is a fucking joke of a game that hasn’t been half decent/ playable since about 2004ish

Still going to allow option files apparently. They must be banking on the superior gameplay being enough to suck in casual FIFA players. I agree about FIFA being shite, I'll be gutted if there's only that
