To play it without a thought for food, water and sleep seems a little easy. To be honest, the hardcore mode in New Vegas should be standard. I think in the next game they’ll need to amp up the hardcore mode. When I tell my friends I played hardcore, I want it to be an actual achievement, rather than eating a packet of Yum Yum Devilled Eggs every 20 minutes. But having played Fallout: New Vegas on hardcore mode, I was a little disappointed that it wasn’t harder. It’s obvious that the developers have drawn on Mad Max, in both the detail of the world and the relentless storylines of survival.
I had a post apocalyptic weekend, finishing Fallout: New Vegas and watching Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior in the space of 24 hours.
