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

"We added more skill checks for various skills (Barter, Explosives, Sneak, Guns)," he explains, "displayed the success values for skill checks, added some stupid-speak at points for low INT characters, and changed the text of the line if your skill isn't high enough (as an example: adding [Crappy Speech] "uh... maybe... you'd be making a mistake?" vs. [Good Speech skill] "You pull that trigger on someone that's got NCR's full support, you'll be making a mistake.").

Yes! That's the kind of improvement I was expecting from Obsidian. ;)

AAA 9.0 for me, but I wouldn't be surprised if GS gives it a 8.5.

Yes, it looks like Fallout III on the visual front, but the tone, atmosphere and the environment in Vegas just seems to have a much better vibe overall to me. Really looking forward to it.

[QUOTE="TheEroica"][QUOTE="0rin"]man, it sucks that because this game is multiplat, people on system wars hardly talk about it. It's going to be amazing...0rin

God my PC collectors edition pre ordered, hope I can afford a new processor before the game arrives.

Wasn't really interested until I read the hardcore mode part. That sounds pretty good. Could make the game a lot more immersive than it already was.

Two weeks... can't wait! Something's gotta cure my Reach fever! And the only prescription is Fallout New Vegas!

Picked up the limited edition of Lords of Shadow today along with Enslaved. Next week I'll be getting Aracnia: Gothic IV, then there is Fallout: New Vegas and Fable III. I had Vanquish pre-ordered as well, but ultimately decided that I was going to hold off on that one. I'll also be importing Two Worlds II from Europe, as it is still set to release on October 21st and I'll probably end up with Force Unleashed II to top it off. Then I am done for the year.

Well after this I can't see anyone saying New Vegas is an Expansion

In comparison Fallout 3 had (without DLC)

-163 marked locations
-~20 side quests
-~35 free quests

And new Vegas has


well over 200 marked locations
~70 full fledged sidequests
~90 free quests

F3 is the expansion. :lol:

This information is from the Bethesda Blog by the way

Just preordered this at gamestop. Hardcore mode sounds AWESOME. I'm going with AAA btw. (well, for PC and 360 versions at least :lol: )

Now I know this may piss some cows, but I am being completely honest here. PC 9.5 -9.0 360 9.0 PS3 8.5 ( unless they pull an oblivion, in which case I could see it getting a 9) With that said I still went with the ps3 version of fallout 3 and I had a blast, but it clearly looked better on the 360.

Nice find cerberuspledge... I added this info to the main page and gave you cred. You're a gentleman and a scholar.

ps, how does a thread get stickied? I know we're generating some modarate interest, but as we get closer to reviews it will get loaded.

I'm still just expecting an 8.0, maybe 8.5, which is still a very good score. I'll seriously consider anything 7 or above. But I've still got a lot of exploring to do in FO3, as well as most of the DLC, so I won't be getting New Vegas anytime soon anyways.

I don't understand why Gamestop is having a midnight release for NBA 2K, but not this game. :|

so is anyone here NOT gonna do a hardcore run first time through? Or am I the only one?Shinobishyguy

I'm going to play New Vegas with the hardest settings plus the hardcore mod, so I can have an experience as close to the old Fallout games as it can be. Challenge = Fun for me. ;)

me neither from the description doesnt sound that appealing, but its a definite day one purchase for me
