So pumped for this shit.

It won't beat Mass Effect 2 for me, but it will be a close second.

lol pc middle class

1900x1080+

Slightly concerned about ammo having weight, but that just means starting off with high strength.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #302 on:** October 07, 2010, 07:09:44 PM »

no, that's just the monitor i picked because it was on sale for $100

besides, 1920x1080 is sort of overkill for something you're gonna be sitting 1.5 feet away from

apparently TRU is giving out $10 gift card + strategy guide (no idea if its the official one or some silly promotional one) for VEgas

cool breeze · « **Reply #305 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:39:36 AM »

that true for the collector's edition as well?

demi · « **Reply #306 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:41:14 AM »

i'd imagine it shouldnt matter... if TRU even carries the collector edition

cool breeze · « **Reply #307 on:** October 10, 2010, 02:45:44 AM »

ok, thanks. hopefully they do. I think the pc collector's edition is actually limited since Amazon and Gamestop stores reached the cutoff point for preorders.

Some of the perk names and descriptions are more humorous than what Bethesda thought up for 3. Also I've read that you can get kicked out of a Casino for being too good.

Quality writing has never been one of Bethesda's strong suits, although it was better in Fallout 3 than any of their previous games. On the other hand, Black Isle/Troika/Obsidian has always had some skills in that area.

Played it a little(30 min),looks like Fallout,plays like Fallout,yep it's Fallout...get

Found my first bug...i have to talk to some bitch and persuade her to help some character...but she is dead
And stupid looser whats me to talk to her...hello,she is dead

No option for saying that of course.

She has a nice ass though,took her armor and guns

What to do?Reload or not?...decisions,decisions

Damian79 · « **Reply #322 on:** October 17, 2010, 06:14:30 AM »

Surely there is a work around? or another way to complete the game?

maxy · « **Reply #323 on:** October 17, 2010, 06:29:34 AM »

It's a sidequest...
Anyway reloaded,bitch is alive now

It's an Obsidian game. There will be shitloads of bugs and broken quests before the game is over would be my guess.

HOLY SHIT

I thought this was unlocking on Thursday/Friday

bork · « **Reply #335 on:** October 18, 2010, 01:06:39 AM »

Is this game using the same engine as Fallout 3? Fallout 3 is pretty playable on my Mini 311 netbook. It's got a single core ATOM that I can overclock to 1.9Ghz. STEAM says the requirement is a dual core 2.0Ghz or better...

Great Rumbler · « **Reply #336 on:** October 18, 2010, 01:13:32 AM »

It's the same engine, but it's probably been tweaked a bit [hence the higher requirements].

Bethesda’s just announced details on 360-exclusive DLC for Fallout: New Vegas.Info on the content will be “released in the coming weeks.”

“We’re excited to continue the partnership between Bethesda and Microsoft, and build on the success of the game add-ons released for Fallout 3 on Xbox LIVE,” said Bethesda’s US PR boss Pete Hines.“We have no doubt that gamers will be thrilled with seeing a new add-on pack extend their adventures with Fallout: New Vegas on Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE,” added Microsoft GM product manager for IEB, Matt Barlow.

I like how gaf is now "booo" and yet when PS3 gets some DLC or something,everything is ok.

Bethesda games sell better on 360,so this is just a business decision.

Anyway something about the game...
Radio music really fits the game and there are some really fun quests(with multiple choices).

Third · « **Reply #340 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:57:50 PM »

I'm getting the PC version anyway.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #341 on:** October 18, 2010, 12:58:00 PM »

Gonna cancel my 360 pre-order now. I can't support this while my PS3 brethren languish on the sidelines, writhing in pain in the fetal position. Also still a little bitter that the wii got snubbed again.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #342 on:** October 18, 2010, 03:50:19 PM »

Yeah, they love Microsoft so much they dropped GFWL support for the PC version of this one

FO3 is around the top of my favorite games of all time, so I have to admit I'm a little irritated/disappointed, but even missing that DLC it'll still be the better experience on PC (even if your rig is a few years old)

with G.E.C.K. support built in, modders will be all over this shit day one to iron out any bugs or glitches and enhance the game with tweaks

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #343 on:** October 18, 2010, 05:12:43 PM »

Plus it's probably a timed exclusive only, I mean let's be serious they still want to make money and for example, I remember when Resident Evil 4 was a Gamecube only title, haha.

bork · « **Reply #344 on:** October 18, 2010, 05:17:25 PM »

I think I will just do what I did with FO3 and wait for the GOTY version instead.

Hope the asian dude didn't fuck something up. I pointed to Fallout 3 (he thought I was talking about Fable III) but I didn't specify which console version I want. Fuck the PS3 version

This is bullshit. And is the reason I never played Fallout 3 :'( I own a 360 and good PC now (didn't when Fallout 3 was released) but seriously, this exclusive DLC is absolute asshattery.

Raban · « **Reply #353 on:** October 18, 2010, 10:59:43 PM »

I was interested in this, but now I too will wait for the GOTY version. Been burned too many times on that deal already.

naff · « **Reply #354 on:** October 18, 2010, 11:10:58 PM »

Does this exclusivity apply to the PC version as well as the PS3 version? If so, lol. Pirating and waiting for GOTY edition.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #355 on:** October 18, 2010, 11:24:11 PM »

The thing about DLC, for me, is that its always been about the gear and extras you get. I didn't really care for any of the scenarios in the FO3 DLC's with maybe the exception to The Pitt. But Zeta, Broken Steel, Anchorage and Lookout all were kinda blah.

The bulk of my enjoyment came from starting out small time and getting stronger level wise and gear wise and in that sense the main game is enough for me.

Quote from: Joystiq

No, I can only point to one real, genuine, unequivocal misstep Obsidian has made here (OK, two if you count the soundtrack): It's a technical embarrassment. Three times the game locked up on me completely, forcing me to restart the 360. Entering the outside world is more often than not accompanied by 20 seconds or so of the framerate slowing to an absolute slide show. Load times regularly hover between 25 and 50 seconds, in spite of a full hard drive installation. That's not so bad when you happen upon the occasional building in the Mojave Wasteland, but quest lines that take you in and out of several buildings in a row are utterly demoralizing.

Obsidian hasn't even fixed the kludginess inherent to Fallout 3. The camera still gets stuck in the wrong location for dialog sequences and A.I. pathing is still comically unnatural. If I were looking at Fallout: New Vegas as a product, I'd say it's shocking that it's being released to the public in this state.

But as an experience ... well, tech problems are enough to take you out of it occasionally, but not to write the whole thing off. Heck, I bet technical failures are all but an oddly endearing series hallmark for some of you; I know I'd be lying if I said I didn't get an odd kick out of the lousy pathing. Sorry, other glitches: You're still obnoxious.

Honestly I knew it would be broken. The original tech wasn't very good in the first place and Obsidian is trash when it comes to polish. Just look at that steaming turd Alpha Protcol or their other past work.

That being said Fallout 3 itself was broken in many ways and I still enjoyed the hell out of that so hopefully that is what happens here.
