Fallout: NV Mega Wasteland Hype Thread-Gamespot-Consoles 7.5-PC 8.5

Lets see... ran into my first "blind" deathclaw and got owned... and ran into my first nightkin and made chocolate pudding in my pants.

The game is pretty underwhelming so far. :/C-Lee

Installing it now! :D Hopefully this gets AAA on Gamespot. :PStevo_the_gamer

EDIT: Better hope so. Especially after what GUFU promised.

There seems to be an autosave bug on the pc. Mine reverted to an old one and I lost some progress. So don't trust the autosave!mbrockway

Just put in a few hours and I have to say, Im in love all over again... It has that very familiar Fallout 3 feel with just enough tweaks and improvements to make me very excited for another 100 hour romp through the wasteland... I love the voice acting so far and I find the early pacing of the game to be better than that of its predecessor. I like where this is all going.

Game is so awesome, I am enjoying it 100000 times more then Fallout3.

If anyone wants to see a bunch of screenshots of my adventures then go to the PC SECTION and look at the SCREENSHOT thread :D

Usually just save eery 15-20 mins anyways :D

I agree 100%, the voice acting is incredible, Ron Pearlman FTW!

You are right about the begining to dude, it starts off perfectly imo, really pulls you into the characters, story and the gameworld.

About time bud, I saw you playing some other game and I was like WTH is Steve-o doing? Get on Fallout Vegas! :P

Nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A 9/10 for PC version! Just what I think the game is so far.

I am only about 4 hours in, but I absolutely love it. It immediately felt better than Fallout 3 to me and so far has even exceeded my expectations. The characters are not as cardboard, there are more (and better) voice actors, better character models, the RPG elements feel deeper and more fleshed out, the quests and main storyline seems more intriguing and the Vegas vibe totally jives with the whole wasteland aspect much better. It just feels like a better game overall this time around to me.

Hell, despite what some may say, it definitely looks better than Fallout 3 as well. However, I did play Fallout 3 on the PS3 and am playing New Vegas on the 360. Regardless, there is quite a difference in the visuals and other than some muddy textures here and there, I think the game actually looks pretty good for the most part. I know one thing, it is nice to get away from the fantasy role playing games for a change and this is just hitting all the right notes and clicking on all cylinders for me. Obsidian has done a superb job, in my opinion.

wow, 8.5 from IGN is a flop in my book, they gave splinter cell conviction a 9.3, though it was a good game, but not a 9.3

Well said bud well said

8.5 is a good score, but this is nothing short of AAA for me so far. I don't expect that to change, either.

I broke down and bought for 360. Gets here Friday, plus I get $10 game credit from Amazon. Guess I'll use it on Rock Band 3.

Surely Gamespot will have the review for this one up tonight. Regardless, I hope they at least give it a 9.0. Obsidian has done a better job than Bethesda and deserve a great score.

Got my first stall on the 360 version :(

Game is still ****ing fantastic!

Off topic: Are you interested in Fable 3? if so you can get $20 game credit when you pre-order(standard edition).

It happened to me once so far in Primm. This is a massive game, though. A few bugs here and there is to be expected and this will surely be addressed with a patch soon. It is indeed a fantastic game and is exceeding my expectations thus far.

Mine also happened in Primm. I can't believe how much i'm enjoying this game over Fallout 3. Vegas as a setting was one of the best ideas ever had... Ever. It beats the wheel.

Is it just me or does the game seem like it was originally balanced for hardcore mode, especially with it's placement of water sources and beds? The survival crafting system is also incredibly useful on HC mode while I'm finding it forgettable without it. Either way, I'm having fun.

Anybody else here find the Star Wars easter egg in the game yet? It was awesome.

A few screenshots of mine (:

I'm loving hardcore mode. Feels like it's the way this game was meant to be played. I can't see myself playing the game any other way now.

The game is more challenging than Fallout 3 as well. I've gotten myself into some pretty tough situations by going to places that was way out of my league, and had to hightail it away before getting my ass handed to me. Loving it and can't hardly put it down!
