can't wait to play this, i loved fallout 3

[hurryupbrett]

Looking forward to Hardcore Mode. It's gonna be so hardcore.

[Charles777]

The story sounds a lot better than the last game.

[theactionblast]

This series appears to have taken a bad turn Fallout 3 was garbage and if you view the screen caps this game looks just as terrible.

[Roboman]

I've put at least 160 hours into my Fallout 3 character so far (I just have a few quests in Broken Steel left, then I'll be completely done with pretty much everything in the game), so I am definitely looking forward to this. The weapon customization sounds cool, as does the reputation system. One of the developers really did have a point when he said that killing somebody in secret should not have an effect on what other people think of you, since they never saw it happen. I just hope that there are lots of new enemies and weapons, since we've seen a bunch of the stuff in the New Vegas screenshots in F3 already.

excited!

Can't wait for this. Fallout 3 was great.

How was Fallout 3 garbage? And you can't judge a game by a few pictures.

Fallout 3 was amazing you're a fucking idiot who's probably stuck in the past. Yes Fallout has a great lineage, yes First Person anything is getting more and more played out. However Fallout 3 was definitely one of the best games of this generation, though New Vegas won't have graphics on par with say Uncharted 2, or Crysis, it WILL be a fantastic game.

[EchoPark]

I heard so much good stuff about Fallout 3, bought the Game of The Year version with the additional maps.

Played it for a few hours. What a waste of money.

[cahrishurr]

I like watching someone play Fallout 3 for a little while but I do not have the patience or endurance to make it through a game that long.

Well, the storylines were garbage, the original ending was garbage, the DLC were garbage. I finished every single mission, played the game as a hero, nice character, then switched over to being a villian. Had every follower possible, the only ones I enjoyed having around was Jericho and Fawkes, the rest sucked. Can't someone have an opinion on a game? I'm not stuck in the past, I just didn't think the game was good. I kept playing it due to being bored, with the hope that it would eventually be cool and have a rad mission, it just kept dissapointing me. The VAT's mode was boring and got old. It just seemed that once you hit a certain level you could destroy everything instantly, minus death claws. The bloody mess perk was terrible. So yeah, I know a ton about the game dude, and I play video games often and have a video game sleeve on my left arm. I give every single game a fair chance, but when I reflect upon my time playing Fallout 3 I feel that it was time wasted. The only redeeming part of this game was Liam Neesons voice was your father, and going through Paradise falls and abolished slavery, and the Cannibal town of Andale. Give me a Metal Gear Solid, God of War, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Resident Evil, Uncharted, Legend of Zelda, or fucking Mario title and I'll put them up against Fallout anyday. I thought the game could have been great, but personally it was flawed to much, to many glitches, and the figthing just looked terrible, the punching and swimming in that game looks like total shit.

Check the reply I wrote, and hopefull you'll understand i'm not here to just hate. I've actually formed an opinion based off of playing the game.

[eraserhead]

I think Fallout 3 is awesome and all I do is go around and blow people's limbs off in slow motion.

[blebbio]

I'm so excited for this. Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games ever.

[EvilZeppelin]

I need to revisit Fallout3 at some point maybe during the summer, I've been logging many hours into StarCraft II.

Just because I don't want to quote your whole post: I agree VATS gets tiring after a while and the ending of the game was awful. Other than that though, I had a lot of fun playing it and liked most of the main quest and side quests.

I got all fanboy my bad, however I disagree with you opinion I will respect it. Props for MGS and Uncharted references, Nintendo games are instant classics however I wish more people would pick up Uncharted 2, the multiplayer is hands down more fun and engaging than MW2, and doesn't need the crutches of a bunch of silly perks.

[secretsociety92]

Didn't like Fallout 3 at all but I do have high hopes for this one.

[sweepthenation]

Loved Fallout 3 so this should be amazing

[Talib Scottie]

The end result of Fallout 3 was simply a Bethesda game set in the Fallout universe. Hopefully having some old Black Isle folks' hands on Bethesda's format will make a Fallout 3 style game that feels as much like the old Fallout games as possible.

[sputniksignals]

I had a ton of fun with F3. Unfortunately, I'm a PS3 user and I have rage quit for months at a time due to the freezing. It gets so annoying having to save every five seconds just to avoid getting far and having to redo it from the game freezing. I hope that the PS3 version isn't a half assed port or whatever made it freeze so much like F3

this! there needs to be witnesses. i hate killing someone in a house then you leave and everyone in town knows what happened. can't wait to try hardcore mode.

Final Fantasy XIII vs Fallout 3, go.

Also, sweet brag bro (or cry for help).

As for New Vegas I'm excited. Might not even get sleep tomorrow night for anticipation of the game.

[Protested Hero]

Tomorrrrrrrrrrow

[crackedthesky]

I'm mildly excited for this. I loved Fallout 3 to death. But so far, New Vegas looks... the same, I guess. Not sure if it's bringing enough new stuff to the table to warrant me getting it. And it's being made by a different developer, so I'm a bit worried. I think I'll rent New Vegas sometime after it comes out, and if I like it, I'll ask for it for Christmas, or something.

A bunch of the guys working on it helped create Fallout 1 and 2. Don't be worried at all.

Fallout 1 and 2 were nothing at all like Fallout 3. And I haven't played the original two. But that still comforts me slightly, considering those guys lost their franchise due to a technicality.

I thought the game could have been great, but personally it was flawed to much, to many glitches, and the figthing just looked terrible, the punching and swimming in that game looks like total shit.

Personally, my favorite thing about Fallout 3 was its level of immersion and detail. I felt like I every time I played the game I would be lost in its world, and I felt like a lot of the quests were incredibly fun and fleshed out the surroundings of the game remarkably (i.e. Agatha's Song, Republic of Dave, all the Vault experiments, etc). Also, I felt like playing through Fallout 3 good or evil impacted the play experience much more dramatically than a lot of other games that claim to integrate an effective karma system. I first played through once as a "good" character, not going out of my way for side quests but taking them when they popped up, and I logged a heavy number of hours through the game and had a good time. Second play through, evil (naturally) and I felt like I was playing a completely different game at times. Only a handful of quests overlapped from my other play through and I definitely felt like I got my money's worth.

I guess it should be noted that RPGs are my favorite genre of game. Comparing Fallout 3 to (like someone said a couple posts up) Final Fantasy XIII or Oblivion is a little different than comparing it to Metal Gear Solid or Devil May Cry.

[Protested Hero]

I know they were nothing like Fallout 3. I'm just saying that the universe is in good (and probably even better) hands. It looks like they're bringing some of the humor back to the franchise, whilst still using the groundwork that FO3 laid out. I'd give the game a buy, as I honestly think I'll enjoy it even more than FO3.

I'll still rent it first. Even if it's just a repeat of FO3, I'll still enjoy it enough to warrant buying it, I'm sure.

The team that developed it had members from the teams that made the original games so I think it's in good hands.

Don't see how that really applies. Sorry dawg.

[anthonydarko]

Don't see how that really applies. Sorry dawg.
You're complaining about minor things. The game as a whole was great. Perhaps I'm not a complete miserable fuck like you and I have to nitpick a great game but everything you complained about was laughable.

[AShannon04]

are there any reviews of this yet?

I don't think so. Is that weird that it comes out tomorrow and there are no reviews up yet? I haven't been keeping up with games lately, so I'm not sure what the norm is these days.

[theactionblast]

Right on. I just thought the game was whack, I thought it was going to be so much more than it was due to being a fan of the older Fallout Games and then I was a big fan of Oblivion, I just didn't really like this game, I tried and tried and tried but just didn't work, sorry that we have a different opinions dawg.

Fair enough.

[theactionblast]

Fair enough.


I'm actually gonna be a dumbass and pick up the game regardless of my thoughts on* F3 to see if maybe this one has some throwbacks to the older games and maybe i'll realize that Bethesda was the problem and this game just may redeem the fallout series.

[bNz719]

Should be out today, I believe. Surprised it's so late though. Reviews are generally released the Friday before release date for a pretty big game.

"Expect the full verdict on IGN in the very near future. "

[Lemmi!]

well yeah kind of. i usually see reviews of games like 2 days before they're out on ign but i haven't seen a review of this at all. maybe they'll post one today

[Charles777]

I don't remember making this thread.

[AShannon04]

I just Googled "Fallout New Vegas" review, and came upon a random press-release-looking thing with the following at the bottom:

"Review Embargo until 10.19 Check back soon"
http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/fallout-vegas-review/

I wonder if this could be a potential bad sign if they're waiting until release day for reviews to come out?

[Farva2]

I want to pick this up but ive got my hands full all the other games coming out right now.

[vrocker2007]

I don't remember making this thread.


Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[imagination]

i'm tempted to get a gaming console for this game (among others)

[DeviateRogue]

Fallout is a much better experience on the PC if your pc can play it.

Also, If you do need to pick up a console, Fallout is a better experience on the 360.

[Flaming Piranha]

Bleh, so sad. I'm probably going to wait a year and pick up the inevitable GOTY edition.

[bNz719]

Thoughts on the game so far?
I'm only an hour or so in so it's still kind of boring. I'm sure it will pick up once I actually find New Vegas.

Defintely liking it so far, having trouble finding ammo and caps tho. btw, you'll need two thousand caps to enter New Vegas.

[TheRealMartian]

I've put in about 3 hours today and enjoying the hell out of it. As many has said, it's basically the same game as Fallout 3. Which isn't a bad thing though. If I could remember to save more often I'd enjoy it more! I seem to die a lot and forget to save and get sent back an hour of gameplay, shit blows sometimes. My biggest gripe is that I never have enough ammo or stimpacks, I am not sure if that's me or just the game design.

[sweepthenation]

I'm 4 hours in, and yes its Fallout 3 in a new setting but I love it. Who can complain about 100 hours of gameplay?

[FallenEmpyr]

This looks very interesting, I played a little of Fallout 3 and didn't care too much for it but this New Vegas looks cool.

[xBLACKOUTx]

I bought this day of release, got the collector's edition and honestly, I love this game.

[chris1152]

Defintely liking it so far, having trouble finding ammo and caps tho. btw, you'll need two thousand caps to enter New Vegas.

You can sneak in to New Vegas by wearing an NCR uniform and entering through their camp/headquarters place or whatever.

This game is pretty sweet. At first I had my doubts, but the Mojave Wasteland is proving to be just as fun as the Capitol Wasteland was in FO3.

I was randomly dicking around in this game when I got the quest where you have to go into Vault 34 and stop the radiation leakage. I figured it'd be a walk in the park, but damn, that place kicked my ass. Even with the space suit on I still took in a ton of radiation, and I had to constantly use all my stimpacks to save myself from death by ghoul attack. I wish there was a ghoul mask in this game.

[blebbio]

Just picked it up. Only played for about an hour but it's pretty great so far.

[karadotcollett]

Awesome game. Fucking freezes sometimes on PS3... hurry up with that patch...

[a speedo model]

Bleh, so sad. I'm probably going to wait a year and pick up the inevitable GOTY edition.
If I don't get the game as a gift, will probably do this as well.

[AShannon04]

I'm about 3 hours in so far, and I feel like I haven't even come close to scratching the surface of this game. I feel like I haven't gotten many side quests yet, but overall, I'm loving it, and see myself playing this for a looooong time.

[DeviateRogue]

This game feels much longer than the previous as well as harder. (That could be my character tho)

[karadotcollett]

Ok so the part where Chris finds out he's human and the ghouls go into space made me cry. /lamestory

[DeviateRogue]

Stupid multiple ending quest lines, that would have been much more interesting, I could never get him to believe me!

[karadotcollett]

Stupid multiple ending quest lines, that would have been much more interesting, I could never get him to believe me!
i just said "chris, you're human and if you went with them you'd die" after i got the isotope and the thrusters and i kept trying to convince him and then he believed me after a few different lines.

[blebbio]

can't stop playing

[karadotcollett]

gonna go play some more now. why must i have so much work to do on my first weekend with this game?

[drpepper09]

Beat the game and took out the NCR and Legion with my Robot Army So pissed i couldn't play after the ending though...

[drpepper09]

Defintely liking it so far, having trouble finding ammo and caps tho. btw, you'll need two thousand caps to enter New Vegas.

get good at Caravan and start playing the crazy dude from Novac he bets at least 500 caps a game.

[Protested Hero]

Beat the game and took out the NCR and Legion with my Robot Army So pissed i couldn't play after the ending though...

Does the game make it pretty clear when you're heading into the last mission? I wanna make sure I have a save set.

[drpepper09]

Does the game make it pretty clear when you're heading into the last mission? I wanna make sure I have a save set.

yeah for me at least yes man says HEY IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT TO DO BEFORE YOU GO TO THIS BATTLE ITS GOING TO BE CRAZY. might be someone else depending on how you play, but i'm sure it'll be as clear as day. if you want to beat it easily, get your speech to 100 its the key to doing anything in the game.

[Protested Hero]

Yeah, I'm only level 11 and my speech is already at 60.

[drpepper09]

Yeah, I'm only level 11 and my speech is already at 60.

you need it to be at 100 by the end. trust me it'll help.

[karadotcollett]

Or you can get an NCR hat out of the unoccupied tent in Primm, and take the monorail from the McCarran airport.

[drpepper09]

Or you can get an NCR hat out of the unoccupied tent in Primm, and take the monorail from the McCarran airport.

in my case, i played caravan my entire way there and just happened to have 4000 by the time i got to the strip. Mind you I didn't really do any side quests.

[karadotcollett]

in my case, i played caravan my entire way there and just happened to have 4000 by the time i got to the strip. Mind you I didn't really do any side quests.
But sidequests make the game more fun. You should do them.


Fuck i just realised i disabled White and i only brought him one of the snowglobes. Can i still bring them to Jane?

[drpepper09]

But sidequests make the game more fun. You should do them.


Fuck i just realised i disabled White and i only brought him one of the snowglobes. Can i still bring them to Jane?

lolol I realized that too. Actually i wanted to complete the main quest then go fuck around with all the sidequests. I'll probably do the same thing I did with fallout 3 and get every map marker.

[karadotcollett]

lolol I realized that too. Actually i wanted to complete the main quest then go fuck around with all the sidequests. I'll probably do the same thing I did with fallout 3 and get every map marker.
If you complete it all the way you can't do any more quests. I guess you could make a new game and do hardcore mode so you can get the platinum trophy, assuming you do all the other trophies.

[drpepper09]

If you complete it all the way you can't do any more quests. I guess you could make a new game and do hardcore mode so you can get the platinum trophy, assuming you do all the other trophies.

or save before the end? I saved before the final mission so i can play from there. They're going to have add on that'll lengthen the story mode eventually. Hardcore mode is ridiculous.

[karadotcollett]

or save before the end? I saved before the final mission so i can play from there. They're going to have add on that'll lengthen the story mode eventually. Hardcore mode is ridiculous.
It is, but i really wanna try it. Also, i want at least one platinum trophy in my life, and i know i can do all the other trophies in this game.

[drpepper09]

It is, but i really wanna try it. Also, i want at least one platinum trophy in my life, and i know i can do all the other trophies in this game.

most of the other trophies i would get eventually so yeah i see your point. maybe one day ill try hardcore mode.

[karadotcollett]

most of the other trophies i would get eventually so yeah i see your point. maybe one day ill try hardcore mode.
i don't think it would be too hard... i would just fast travel to frickin Goodsprings and New Vegas all the time to buy water and food.
Also, doesn't the Vault 13 canteen give you water?

[Protested Hero]

you need it to be at 100 by the end. trust me it'll help.

Will do.

[drpepper09]

i don't think it would be too hard... i would just fast travel to frickin Goodsprings and New Vegas all the time to buy water and food.
Also, doesn't the Vault 13 canteen give you water?

I think if the fast travel was to work properly in accordance with hardcore mode, then you would need water before and after fast traveling. IN fast travelling the time changes as if you were to walk there so water should too.

[karadotcollett]

Now i'm confused...

[TheRealMartian]

I definitely screwed up my current play through (spoilers if you haven't gotten far) I decided to kill Mr. House because I was curious if he was an actual person, which I found out he is, and is a very handsome man I might add. After I did this I decided to not save cause I wanted to see how itll end up with him alive. Well that was like 8 hours of gameplay ago and I realized that I have somehow been playing the game with Mr. House dead. So I guess I accidentally saved it. I found out after I head someone say "I heard that Mr. House has been missing, I think his robots did him in." I literally said WHAT. THE. FUCK? I wanted to keep him alive. The game isn't ruined but not going the way I want.

/random story

Amazing, amazing game.

I think using speech is like a crutch, so I don't do it till my third or fourth playthrough with my silvertounged ballah.

Btw, I don't get the rules of Caravan at all.

Also, been playing hardcore mode, it isn't what it's cracked up to be. The easiest way to do it is with a Melee character and have a good amount of survival, and just carry a bunch of food around with you. You can fast travel without drinking or eating before hand, however while fast traveling dehydration and starvation levels increase. Hopefully that helps you out, I'm mid-way through the game as of now.

P.S Companions CAN die in Hardcore mode, so avoid using them.

Now i'm confused...

Its just an assumption. fast traveling pretends that the time is passing and you are actually moving from point a to point b, it's possible you'll need water during fast traveling....

ohwell there is always that second playthrough

[Hamburglar]

I logged some serious hours today. Still haven't done anything main-quest related, though. Just side-quests/exploration.

[drpepper09]

I found a glitch in the game that gives infinite experience. made 2 saves. one with the glitch one without. this is rad.

[IcedOpethBlind]

i feel like im progressing far too slowly in this game, but maybe not... im at level 11 or 12 with about 13 hours logged...

I've been so obsessed with playing this (went from level 0-26 in a few days...which I don't think is bad considering I'd consider myself a casual gamer) but the constant freezing and glitches that have caused me to restart from old saves many a times are starting to get on my nerves. Maybe if I put it down for a few days I'll be able to stand looking at it again without wanting to break my controller.

It's just tragic, because they have such a great game here.

Also, I've only been doing side quests (Thank you Fallout 3 for your short anti climatic story that makes me afraid to progress), and they are so much fun. I finally talked to Benny and got some shit done, and once all those choices were put in front of me I felt really overwhelmed. I'm not the kind of person to replay games so I'm afraid I'll fuck up and miss out on a lot. For example I'm afraid to do missions for the Legion as I want to continue my friendship with NCR, and I don't know enough about Mr. House to know whether or not he's evil enough to warrant destruction. I'm thinking I might attempt to work with Yes Man, but I'm afraid it will give me bad karma

If those sound like complaints they aren't meant to. On the contrary, I love just almost everything in this game.

Except trying to play it. Then restarting it. Over and over.

/rant...Sorry...had to do it somewhere.

Also, fuck Deathclaws.

[limepomegranate]

Everyone liking the new DC?

...hate waiting for random chance encounters...trying to get that amazing gun from Max in Freeside! Anyone know how often he shows up?

[IcedOpethBlind]

i probably hate cazadores more than deathclaws

those things fucking suck

and i usually dont have any anti-venom on me

There is no middle ground with the Legion/NCR it's one or the other...I learned that the hard way trying to do missions for both...all NCR/Legion missions then disappeared. Also, I could say stuff about Mr. House but I don't know if that would spoil too much for you...all I will say is that I kill him everytime!

Oh yea, haha, I also hate the glitches! It's why i'm such a savewhore. I save my game frequently...more like all the time just because of those glitches! It does make me frustrated and if it happens enough I turn off the game for a while...but enevitably I come back! I've already beaten it once before the new DC came out and had started a new game where i'm trying to be good (people just have so much stuff that I want to steal and sell back to them :P haha) and i'm succeeding in being good! Staying with the NCR this time around too! I hate how Legion is against chems...I use med-x, psycho, jet and others all the time in battle!

Tell me about it! Just keep healing yourself and eventually the poison ahould go away.

Or you can get an NCR hat out of the unoccupied tent in Primm, and take the monorail from the McCarran airport.
To get the NCR outfit I went to Ranger Station Charlie.

Played it for 2 hours. Thought it was terrible. I didn't really like Fallout 3 either though

True. But I love it so I guess i'm biased against who I consider haterrrrrssss.

[limepomegranate]

Anyone finished the Sierra Madre DLC? I stopped playing it today when I got into the Casino. I was tired from running around getting those fuckers into their places.

[vivatoto56]

Finally beat this by taking the Yes Man path.

I absolutely adored the end.

Such a great game masked behind those terrible glitches.

[TachyonEvan]

Played Dead Money all day yesterday. So much to do.
