Sniper Elite 4

[seagoon]

Finished SE4 again and uninstalled.

Mike.

I reinstalled it last night ....been three years since I last gave it a run. So there'll be a new learning curve ahead of me because I can't remember all the ins and outs of it.

[haverfordwest]

Nice one Bruce, now how can i spoil it for you. You know the mission where............................. 😂 😂.

Enjoy buddy.

Mike.

[seagoon]

Just started all over again at the hardest setting......I don't expect to last very long!

[NorthernWarrior]

Slow and steady Bruce. Think Survival in Fallout 4!

[haverfordwest]

You are a braver man than me Bruce.

Mike.

[seagoon]

Well, I'm also aiming on completing as many of those little side challenges as I can...you know, the "Kill 50 enemy with an SMG" type of thing.
I'm currently making my way towards the large shed/warehouse building that you can see from the first sniper tower that you meet after the start.
After playing Fallout 4 for so long, I automatically try to switch between 3rd and 1st person views, only to then realise that there isn't a 1st person view!

[haverfordwest]

Yes i know what you mean, those only get completed by me incidently Bruce. Never set out to do any side missions, only the main ones to complete the map. Oh you are literally at the start buddy. I prefer 1st person perspective for shooter games. Never played Fallout, too many creepy crawlies ☹ ☹, from what i have seen on YT. I own SE2 and SE3, but not sure i want to go back that far. SE3 is good in the desert locations, though. But the graphics are probably dated.

...... I prefer 1st person perspective for shooter games.

So do I, which is why I initially find it odd not to have it in SE4 and keep hitting the 'V' key to switch!

Never played Fallout, too many creepy crawlies ☹ ☹, from what i have seen on YT.

Mike,for the last several playthroughs I have been running a mod ( a couple, actually) which allows the removal of all or any of the "creepy crawlies" and just leaves human enemies.

Although I've played FO4 in default (vanilla) mode for several run-throughs at various levels of difficulty I have been playing it for over six months in a "sandbox" mode - no quests, no principal NPCs and no companion. Just me and the wilderness and human remnants.

There are so many mods for every aspect of this game that by adding those which take your interest you can tailor it to suit your own personal preferences.
Coming up very soon will be a third-party DLC which is effectively a whole new region - "Fallout: London". That is one I'm really looking forward to.

[seagoon]

I had forgotten just how enjoyable this game is and when played aty the highest difficulty settings it can be quite absorbing.
After 3 hours I'm still on the island and have successfully maintained a stealthy presence.....and still have a couple of prime targets to accomplish.
I must have downloaded some DLC for this some years ago because I have chosen to play as that well-known Russian female sniper - it's odd hearing her "think" with a male American accent!

[haverfordwest]

That mod sounds interesting Bruce. Plus sandbox is always my preferred way of playing any game, that includes it as an option. Yup i saw quite a while back that there is a London add on being developed. I have all the DLC for SE4 and don't remember being given the option to play as a different character buddy.

Mike.

[seagoon]

Mike.....this is the full list (copied & pasted off my Library Steam page) of the DLC available.....I have them all (as can be seen by the "In Library" notation).
The sniper I referred to is in the "Covert Heroes Character" pack

Thank you Bruce, yes i have all those. BUT the elephant in the room is Dumbo here didn't know that character choice was even available. I just started playing with the default OSS sniper 🙀

Many thanks for clearing that up buddy. One day i am going to pay for some more brain cells. I think my parents must have been on a budget, when i was born.

Mike.

[seagoon]

Never mind, Mike. It doesn't make any difference to your ability or to that of the enemy.
There's a ghillie-suited character who is no better or worse at hiding in bushes than the default bloke!

[haverfordwest]

Yeah but she might have a nice bum and in third person view, that can make all the difference 🤣🤣.

Anyway Bruce what are you doing back here already, i haven't been to bed yet 😄.

Mike.

[seagoon]

Yeah but she might have a nice bum and in third person view, that can make all the difference 🤣🤣.

Well, in that case, you must try Fallout 4 and play as a female character wearing the tight-fitting Vault suit. You'll never go into 1st. person again!!

Sorry for responding before your bye-byes time.
