Not much ammo left now. Need to save bullets. Need to be careful. Every shot must count.

I take it I can't keep the other stuff to sell at the store or stimpacks?
Very similar experience.Rack said:
I was on Fallout 3 fighting the Ant Queen in the Corvega Factory. It was far too early in the game (I still had my BB Gun and considered it a reasonable weapon early) and I had already gotten battered fighting my way through all the other ants. I ended up trapped inside one of the those little metal boxes with nothing but my BB Gun and 100 pellets. I was jumping out and taking potshots at her and trying dsperately not to die, and eventually ended up killing her with my bare hands and had to make my way back across the wasteland with literally nothing (I hadn't learned about fast travel at that point.)
Really captured that whole 'post-apocalyptic wasteland terror' thing.

Ammo is generally scarce even at sellers. Add realistic can-carry-weight (60 kilos max, including armour) and you're on the scavenge run.
Fallout 3 has the problem of overabundance of everything IMO. I mean, it's like 200 years after nuclear war, and you can still find untouched shops with medicine, food etc... and .32 bullets lying EVERYWHERE.

I tend to play as though I'm on that verge even when I have a gigantic surplus of ammo. I'm just far more effective when I make my shots count than when I'm slinging tons of lead in my enemies' general direction.
So I never really find myself in that situation.

Ha I"m totally the opposite when it comes to playing through fallout. I carry as much weapons as I can and all the guns and melee so I can kill with variety wherever I go. But that seems like a cool idea to try.Aerosteam 1908 said:
Usually I only get the feeling of scarcity with ammo when I'm playing dead island, and I'm surrounded on a cart with 50 zombies at my ankles.
That's why I mostly use LMGs and memorize the locations on ammo caches.
I tend to run out of ammo a lot in Uncharted games though, but there is usually a shotty laying around from one of the 8 guys who tried to flank me.

Metro 2033, makes you regret any missed shot, poor choice of weapon or anything of the sort... I played it on the average difficulty, and it was rough, there were parts were I just said screw it and ran like hell. You cry when you can't access the ammo, or the human enemies fall awkwardly and you can't click on the ammo on their chest, or lose their guns down a hole or clipping.
I just got Condemned: Criminal Origins on a whim when I saw it in a shop for £4, and this situation occurs literally every time you are lucky enough to obtain a firearm. There isn't actually a reload function built into the game, because whenever you get a gun you only have however many bullets are already loaded into it. You even need to take the clip out (or do an equivalent action for guns without clips) to see how much ammo you have left, and it adds a lot to the atmosphere the game seems to be going for.
I wouldn't say it makes the game scary as such, but it does make the situation you're in feel much more desperate. Less about gunning/beating down hordes of enemies, and more about simply trying to make it through the level, which is how it should be (but sadly rarely is) in a survival horror-type game.

Dosen't happen often, I play most games like survival games so I'm usually never short on ammo.
The one time that dose stick in my head was awesome though, the last boss of Mass Effect two, I had no conventional ammo, my tec and biotic powers where recharging, all I had was ten grande launcher shells as the H-R powered up its heavy attack with about 1/8 of its health left, so I run out of cover firing at its eyes and kill it before it one shots me.
It was epic.
