Fallout: New Vegas

Consider it a toll for looking under the bridge.

I could have sworn I heard some Oblivion music in there too, when wandering in the wilderness.

Yep, you definitely did as I've heard a bunch. I think they really cheaped out by not developing a new score. I really connect the music to the game I'm playing, so having the same music for several games completely messes with my head.

[SoM]

Fuck you Pauly and DooMer. You and your "no bugs here" posts just cost me $60...

pirate the game before u buy

Hey deuchefags, I meant that as a good thing. I'm excited for the game since they're not having any (few) problems...

[mjrpes]

I can understand bugs where you get stuck in walls, but what kind of coding mess must this be that you'd get randomly rotating heads?

[brisk]

I completed it with the wildcard ending. All missions done diplomatically and the ending was more neutral/good. I think the NCR and House ending are generally classified as the "good" endings, with the Legion one specifically "Bad".

The whole morality thing is ambiguous though and I didn't trust any of the factions in the end.

Oh and Cass is awesome.

Wow, you already finished it? A game like this usually takes me 60+ hours. But I'm also an avid explorer. Try to find everything...

[arjaya]

This game is fucking epic.
There is another ending where you can go Rogue and take over New Vegas for yourself, it means a lot of fighting though, so you have to get your character pumped.

[xer0s]

Bought this game last night. I'm gonna fire it up when I get home...

[Pauly]

Excellent, thanks for letting us know.

[xer0s]

I went ahead and played some tonight.

More updates to come...

[xer0s]

This game is fun as hell. The Hardcore option makes it particularly interesting. Haven't experienced any bugs yet.

[xer0s]

I'm constantly gathering too much shit to carry. It's really a fucking pain. And on top of that I'm playing Hardcore mode, so ammo has weight. Any tips on reducing the amount of shit that accumulates? I know I can simple drop stuff, but I'm really down to the bare essentials and it's not as if my strength isn't high enough...

[o'dium]

Yeah, only keep 2 or 3 weapons that you NEED to carry, obviously only wear armour when you need to, so you move faster, but also make sure it doesn't give you any penalties for wearing it. Remember that food/water/sleep/rads all will make you carry LESS when they creep up.

The biggest tip though is your ammo... It looks at first glance that it won't really weigh you down that much, but it really does. Sell everything you can that isn't for a weapon your not using.

You should find yourself around the 100 or so mark weight wise, with a few hundred to play with for picking up stuff on your travels.

I had to give up playing until they release the new patch, way, way, way too many bugs were making the game really a bore to play, and for some reason the higher level you are, the more the game will CTD with no reason at all, at any given time

This is the exact problem I had with FO:3, and the reason I decided to wait on this game and see how it turned out. Thanks for saving me some money.

Fucking reputation bug, it keeps disappearing and I can't use my NCR radio. no idea what else it fucks up for me.

[Eraser]

A patch is incoming.

[o'dium]

Yes... But to be fair, this shit shouldn't have been there in the first place. I understand that such a massive open ended game will have bugs, and that its a 100% cert that you WILL get them...

But shit like save games breaking and whatever shows me that they did fuck all testing on it. They should have just been honest and said "Hey up duck, teh games not ready yet innit, wait another month." Instead, once again, we paid to be beta testers...

[bam!]

lol, paying retail price to beta test

[feedback]

who paid?

[Infernis]

I heard and read all the horror stories but so far, it's playing fine. I already installed the first PC patch before starting. In the 15 hours I played the game crashed once. I can live with that.

It feels a lot more like the original Fallouts and I like it better then Fallout 3. I'm having a lot of fun. Especially all the references to the earlier games are great. I don't care about the graphics. It looks nice enough.

No problems at all on the 360 so far except for items sort of levitating on tables after you take on thing from it.

The freedom you have to deal with some of the stories is great - the designers did a great job with that. Take the whole mission inside the white-glove society's hotel. Without spoiling what you do in there, the number of different ways you can go about finding the mystery, investigating the mystery, and resolving the problem is pretty impressive. That was one small part of the game and it kept me occupied for a few hours overall. This game makes it hard for me to keep my schedule of not gaming for more than an hour at a time though.

lots of morons, definitely ones with 360s

Yeah I always have a plan of doing something until I find something else on the way. I think I messed up Crazy crazy crazy though, I never ran into the big guy again and killed tabitha by accident. Also, I went from having 2 followers to just 1, couldn't pick up Raul, the fuck?
