Fallout: New Vegas

Ha. I should aim for a free copy, I can probably convince her she owes me.

Have you even realized the awesome role-play opportunities that this situation opens up?

I mean you could play a little wasteland wanderer and she could play a giant super-mutant rapist that buttfucks her victims with Nuca Colas before chopping their penis' off and wearing them as a necklace.

Proposition her with my tall tale of eroticism. She won't be able to resist!

TRUST ME!

These god damn Cazadors, man ... Cazafuckingdors

Ehh....two problems: one is that she is up in wherever bethesda is based, and two is that the dummy is getting married shortly. And not to me.

First negative words about it I've read: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010...as/#more-42293

Can you guys confirm what he says?

The Brotherhood of Steel is too poor to even arm their forces with sticks to point with...

How are the textures in the PC version? The 360 varmit rifle made my fucking eyes bleed.

Can you guys confirm what he says?

He makes some good points but I don't agree 100% so far. IMO the voice acting has greatly improved since FO3, but a large amount of the dialogue is fairly boring so much like Mass Effect I found myself skimming ahead and then skipping.

The landscape is fairly dull for me so far, with very few landmarks to really catch your attention. I'm hoping this will change when I get to New Vegas, but so far I'm with him on this one. I like some of the additions they've made like being able to manufacture your own ammunition and chems, but the ingredient list is a little too long imo so I can't see me ever really bothering to use it.

Hardcore mode is an interesting idea but so far it's not really adding anything to the game. I like stims not being instant powerups, but as he said, the limb damage usually just turns into a case of 'kill all badies on screen then quick travel to a doctor' which kind of beats the point imo. The food, drink and sleep is a nice idea but as water is easily available it removes that one, as is food. As far as beds go, you can pretty much sleep in a random van you find, so again it kind of feels pointless. I was hoping more for a Stalker type sleeping bag and obvious supply stores to stock up on food and water with.

The weapons mod is a nice idea but so far seems kind of pointless as silencers and barrel extentions are all I've found, and neither of which are that useful.

Still early days yet but imo it's not quite as good as Fallout 3 yet, and doesn't look like it'll even approach 1/2 in terms of story.

So I looked around and read a few reviews/watched a few gameplay videos and it still looks like this is a (glorified) expansion pack for Fallout 3. I was REALLY hoping this was a proper sequel because I loved Fallout 3 but nothing I ever saw about it pre-release got me fired up about it and im definitely not paying 50 bucks for this shit after looking around post-release. Im disappointed. sadface

So after enough research, (and not having played the preceeding Fallout games, mind you) this game sounds like a port of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. to the Oblivioin engine. Also, I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. when it first came out because I saw the box art that looked awesome and everyone said it was awesome and it fucking sucked and I played it for maybe 5 hours. So is this worth a buy? Worth a demo? Bargain bin? What's the consensus?

Wait.. You haven't played Fallout 3?

Buy that shit!

I mean.. RIGHT FUCKING NOW! ..buy it!

..you wont be sad.

This "sequel" looks like a money grab to me so I wont be buying it until the price is right but Fallout 3 is well worth the price tag. It really is a great game.
