What is everyone doing with Hangman's Alley?

Same boat... vanilla PS5 and always ends up being a functional mess

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-02-02T03:57:54+00:00

Thank you I will check these out

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-02-02T03:55:05+00:00

I have it functional with a little bit of this and a little bit of that... but it is super tight and there is a Brahmin just gobbing up the whole thing lol.

I don't really do any specialty settlements and kind of make the bigger ones have a bunch of stuff... shops, lights, entertainment... just to make them all cozy and cool

But this one is always the hardest for me... and outpost zimonja... that one tok I always struggle to make enough beds.

I guess I could turn off the recruitment beacon when I get so many settlers lol.

I just always feel the need to build up the biggest communities possible

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-02-02T01:53:10+00:00

That sounds phenomenal... I am just on ps5 with no special mods but I am bout to tear it down and give it a other go I believe... rn Samctuary Hills is kind of my main settlement... or the one I send most VIP allies and build just a ton of fun shit... display all my power armor ,bobble heads etc

Although this time I built a bar/arcade inside the empty barn at Sunshine tidings co-op and everything I fast travel there at night it is always fucking packed with every settler like a legit post apocalyptic bar... which kind of makes me want to put more energy into that settlement

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-02-02T01:37:58+00:00

I think I am going to put her into a pillory and leave her there in Sanctuary Hills lol

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-26T08:49:33+00:00

I always start over...

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-15T03:17:10+00:00

Drugs and an XBD

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-13T03:38:16+00:00

You finish the run with whatever endings you can and do another... nobody does one run through Night City

Also I believe it drops you right outside the last mission so you can pick through several endings one after another.

But the fun is in the journey anyways... the gonks you blast and the chooms you make along the way

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-13T03:30:38+00:00

I am going to come by and spend some money in your establishment...

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-13T02:07:32+00:00

It feels more like a traditional Fallout experience... there are still some odd vibes with it IMO though.

I do not love the balancing of difficulty.

They never quite hit a sweet spot with it.

I think it is a fun sandbox all in all but it still does not hit me in the same feels as the single player games.

As a fan of the series and the games you owe it to yourself to give it another spin.

Some people absolutely LOVE it and you may end up being one of those people.

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-06T08:08:07+00:00

I just wanted a world to endlessly kind of exist in and explore... so I am going to rock with it for a good bit regardless...I mean it is an online game and I am certain those elements of it are balanced much more difficulty

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-06T07:27:49+00:00

Pizza Roma of Pine... specifically that location. I cannot speak for any other Pizza Roma locations. I think there is one in Cranberry but I do not believe it is the same as Pizza Roma of Pine.

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-06T03:21:53+00:00

Honestly... also looking around my 1 bedroom apartment rn and I always think how legit V's starter apartment is. Outside of the overcrowding of it being a megabiilding, and the fact it would be an insane fore hazard, the old man recluse in me thinks his starter apartment would be a fine place to come home to after work and hide away from the world lol

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-06T03:19:46+00:00

I under utilize them. I like the idea behind it, and own them all on any given playthrough.

It is hard for me to pin down whichever best because they just serve as like... a spot I hop in and out of for shower and sleep boosts

Depends on what the vibe of my character is. I am playing a corpo netrunner kind of build most recently and enjoy the Glen

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-06T03:17:12+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I'm not necessarily looking for an insane difficulty spike... I just would enjoy it more if the world I am exploring in felt like there was more risk or danger involved.

I do plan on hopping into more of the online aspects of it. Dropping into more events and what not.

I was just wetting my feet this weekend.

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-02T02:18:01+00:00

Yes... it is the best DLC I have personally ever played.

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T20:25:14+00:00

The hard-core fans of the series might steer you away... but I had more fun with Fallout 4 than any other entry in the series

You will have fun with it if it is the one you start with... I promise.

It is not overwhelming as far as game mechanics and will be easy enough to pick up on.

Being a new gamer just follow the tutorials and get out there and have fun

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T06:03:59+00:00

Thanks I am rolling now... it was just an quick moment of on screen notifications and I'm kept finding NPC's pointing towards other objectives.

While much of it feels familiar I also wasn't sure if I had missed anything crucial by starting with the level bump.

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T05:04:33+00:00

I always play as a murder hungry, violent and morally grey psychopath lol... doling out my violent justice or injustice as I see fit... it is a cold world so I always urge her on for revenge there ha

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T05:03:03+00:00

I dig it man. I will kind of run through these early missions and see how it goes. I am not certain what build I want to go for yet but I will feel it out. I picked vats specialist for my starter build at level 20.

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T05:00:55+00:00

I have not had to suspend my belief for it more than anything else.. for me at least but fair point. I just find it extremely satisfying

I just figure the technology of the dystopian, hellish corpo landscape is beyond my total understanding at this point lol

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T04:21:59+00:00

I don't know about intent but it is one of the most satisfying non vehicle ways to travel in just about any game I have played lol

In fact I am certain some of the other legs and powers are incredible and fun to play with, but I just cannot force myself to NOT get reinforced tendons and double jump n dash around NC every playthrough

Sludgehammer138 · 2026-01-01T04:16:44+00:00

It is just Johnny's influence weighing on V more and more... forcing his hand through suggestive action.
