@colonelkilgore I haven’t thought about Asura’s Wrath for a long time. I had fleeting interest in trying it several years ago since I got it on PS+ but now it’s been buried deep, deep underneath hundreds of other games.
I doubt I will ever get that deep into my backlog to pull it out again, but one never knows!
But your comment on it does bring to mind one of my pet peeves in games — separate ranking mechanics in story-based games. I probably need to vent over on the appropriate thread. 😅

@Th3solution while I loved it, its appeal would be to a very niche audience I’d imagine… so if you do never end up getting to it, you probably won’t be missing out. If you’re a big anime/manga fan though, Asura’s Wrath could hit a sweet spot.
@colonelkilgore I used to be something of an anime fan, but I think I’m slowly losing interest. For some reason I don’t find the art style and animation as interesting. I think once I realized that all anime characters look like cut-and-paste copies with the only difference being their hair, they started to seem bland. 😅 It kind of drove me crazy how in FF16 they designed Jill’s face in an anime style whereas most of the other characters had a more realistic facial art design. It’s like she stuck out as an alien in that world and so I had a hard time connecting to her character.
Anime storytelling also is commonly difficult to follow, and I’m not sure if part of it is just a cultural rift or just poor localization.
Anyways, I didn’t means to dump on anime… but I’m glad there’s an audience for it. 😄

@colonelkilgore So Todd was telling porkies when saying "it just works"
I had a look at my trophies for Vegas and platted the base game (didn't have any dlc) back in 2015. I did 100% Fallout 3 (inc dlc).
Good luck and I recall that I initially didn't think much of Vegas, hence me playing it in 2015, but it did grew on me and I really enjoyed it by the end but I can imagine it is a bit hard going these days (unless on PC with mods).
@CaptD 🤣 so it’s been fine since that first crash to be fair (touch wood). Yeah I remember it took a while to get into it back in the day but once I was in, I was really enjoying it. Strangely enough though I’m into it straight away this time… probably my interest being boosted by the tv show I’d image.
i never had any problems with fallout new vegas and it played through fine including the DLC .fallout 3 on the other hand the DLC was borderline unplayable and to constant locking up and crashing
@trev666 I've read the opposite online, where New Vegas was the bigger problem on PS3 than Fallout 3. I'm guessing it's just a matter of luck then, but their instability is one reason why I haven't bought either for the PS3 I found in my basement and hooked back up last year.
I do want to though as I played 3 back in the day but never came close to finishing it, and never tried New Vegas after never finishing 3. Especially with the TV show looking to be so good, I imagine the urge will win out whenever I finally start watching the show. I know I could just go with Fallout 4 with the PS5 version releasing in 4 days, but I kind of want to go back and replay 3 since I never finished it.

all i can go by is my own experience I didnt play either game at launch which i played them when they were fully patched years later.
from my understanding new vegas was very buggy at launch because they made the whole game in 18 months. and fallout 3 dlc is borderline unplayable because they didnt optimise it for ps3 they just ported the dlc which was optimised for xbox 360 to ps3
Really enjoyable second session on New Vegas today and some good progress made. I was actually a bit concerned that it just wouldn’t hit for me anymore prior to starting it, as I went back to finish off the Fallout 4 plat a couple of years back and I just didn’t enjoy it… but I’ve been sucked right back in with this one. Can’t wait to boot it up again for another sesh.
Just completed all of the SP trophies for Quantum of Solace, a severely underrated game with a great cover system. Unfortunately, the MP trophies are unobtainable. Now playing Dragon Age Origins.
Don’t know if it’s just Fallout: New Vegas in general, or if my PS3 is on its last legs but I have never experienced a frame-judder like this. The frame-rate has been down to as low as 1 or 2 frames per minute at times, together with some crazy strobing effect that makes it impossible to work out what is actually happening.
Really hoping it’s just temporary as I’m really enjoying the game and really want to see this through this time.
@colonelkilgore I’m not sure about PS3, since it’s been so long since I engaged with the console, but I wonder if you might try rebuilding the database / doing a defrag. On PS4 I had a couple instances when the game started uncharacteristically chugging and a database rebuild fixed the issue.
