TheCzarsHussar Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 5 minutes ago, Centurion said: I’m not included any seventy dicks sets because they shouldn’t exist. Hide contents T-51b. Specifically the 1/2 and 4 versions. I love the frame concept, I wish it didn’t do the whole fusion core thing but the frame and the bulk is 100% fallout. That how the sprites looked in the old games and it genuinely feels like POWER armor unlike 3/nv basically metal armor T-45d. It’s slick, it’s bulky, it goes hard. I actually like 3/nv version where the pouldrons are bigger, but again 4’s bulky frame is by far the best. APA Mk. I/XO-1. And 2 and 4 versions. The bulk man it just looks so good Hellfire PA. It’s weird. It pig like mask is odd and it just look menacing as fuck. T-60. It would be higher on my list. It’s the PA I wear the most when I do PA playthroughs. The reason it’s so low is because of the lore. If they said the BoS manufactured from T-45 with upgraded components from the enclave war I’d absolutely fuck with it 100% Apa mk. II. “Black Devil” I actually like it a lot. Like a lot a lot. It’s down this far solely because the other have better looks. And the version modded into F4 with the frame is sexy as hell. Raider. I hate it. I hate everything about it. I don’t like to see it, I don’t like to think about it. I wish I could nuke it from existence. tactics- I just never vibed with it. It’s just a big eh for me. hellcat, ultracite, t-65, excavator, Union, etc etc are basically just the power armor tab on nexus mods and need to never appear again Fascinating how we hit mostly the same points, but opinions differ on the Fallout 4 frame thing. Of climbing into a suit versus it being fitted onto the player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCzarsHussar Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I love the bulkiness of 4's power armor, my only hickup is climbing into a suit of it. I think you could still get the same effect, or at least a slightly less wide one, by having it fitted on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Good Doctor Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 To be honest, way more was done to justify the existence of Excavator armor than T-60 ever even came close to getting. And even then, there’s only one set canonically. So I am cool with that one. Fits the corporate warfare storyline going on in prewar Appalachia pretty well. And Ultracite’s just a slicker (too slick) T-51b with a paint job. And if I recall correctly, it’s actually based on an older concept for one of the Black Isles games that never got made. Can’t remember which now but I swear I remember seeing the sprite somewhere. But still, T-51b rip-off > T-45d rip-off for me. Every other set from 76 can piss right off. Especially the lazy ass Hellcat. I hate that out of place Transformer-looking pile of crap. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who’s to say the frame isn’t fitted to the person. Remember gameplay doesn’t always reflect lore. It’s much better than just plopping it on in you pipboy and going on your merry way. I also fucking HATE the pipboy substituting the armor for the left armor.

I like that it’s a big hulking power suit, but I much prefer how it was shown in Operation Anchorage to be this big two-man process to actually get suited up. I don’t like the way 4’s just opens and closes on you like a car door and is ready to go, one-size-fits-all, no help or adjustments needed. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I find it a lot easier to divorce the two when the "suit up" happens off-screen than I do when we physically see the PC enter the suit with ease. Granted, it wouldn’t be much fun to actually need help, or a fucking lift station every time we want to put on or take off power armor, so I totally understand why Beth wouldn’t go that route in gameplay either. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have kept the frame and everything, but have it where you can only enter and exit the power armor at stations (with assistance if you wanna keep it accurate). No entering it like a mech. If this was oldschool Bethesda, I'd say even have a little montage or animation timeskip of the suit being assembled on you. Skippable of course.

Not only that but the way Operation Anchorage depicts it really drives home why you need to be very properly trained in using it. It's not a mech, you've got a lot of hydraulics and powerful motion at work here. I imagine improper use could seriously hurt the wearer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The left hand is even exposed like that with the space suit in Mothership Zeta… which you use to walk in space. Just in case you needed further evidence that that DLC is just the Lone Wanderer tripping balls on some bad punga fruit juice. 1 * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBossBalrog Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I am going to be a Contrarian and say Power Armor is for wimps; Marine and Ranger armor all the way Being serious, while I do appreciate them for there design, I actually rarely use them at all; it's kind of like how I love the design of certain enemies in Soul, but I'd never want to wear there shit. If I'd rank them; I'd put Hellfire on top, with the classic Brotherhood and Enclave sets just below them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why the question is how y’all would rank them, not if they’re your preferred playstyle. * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBossBalrog Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 So the Fighting Game Community is one of the few ones still trapped in the 90's; they view stuff like modern controllers and wifi internet a scourge upon there way of life (In there slight defense, I think it's proven direct cable internet causes less lag; and lag is pretty much everything in games that are so reliant on input and hit boxes connecting properly) For the new Street Fighter, Capcom had the brilliant idea of showing, on screen, what type of internet your opponent is using, and the vitriolic discourse has been hilarious 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
