I cannot wait

 

I got it preorderd from Amazon

 

I can't wait even though from the pics I've seen, it still looks like Fallout 3 with casinos.

I was hoping for new character models and a little bit better visuals.

 

I am hoping for a mutant Wayne Newton boss fight

 

I see Marcus is back...hopefully he is a companion and not just an NPC.

 

I watched a video on IGN and read a review last night and it seems like it is the exact same game as fallout 3. Just a bit prettier and as GetUp&Go said Fallout 3 with casinos.

 

I'm fine with that, but I won't be getting it at launch. Saving launch money for Gran Tourismo :) If Fallout had come out this week, or a few weeks ago I'd have picked it up..but with GT coming out 2 weeks after I'll just wait for this to go on sale over the holidays.

 

Someone needs to support the gaming industry so that they will keep producing games for others to illegally download.

 

I buy the ones that deserve buying. Plus it's a hassle swapping my profile over to the offline xbox then fixing said profile for the online one again.
To save those 3 minutes :lol: I wait until the game comes down to a reasonable price, which is usually around £17.

The only games I broke the rule for in the last year where Assassins Creed 2 (£24) and Halo Reach (£35 with 2100 points). I've still not even taken Reach out of the cello yet.

Getting 2nd hand games is a really cheap way of gaming. I've usually got a huge backlist to get through so I don't need to purchase new releases. In the last couple of months I bought Mass Effect £7, Mass Effect 2 £10 (both new), GOW £2.99, GOW2 £4.99 etc.

That said, I got £50 of off my work this year as a birthday present which I've kept just for Fallout. I'll be getting that on release day.

Maybe it's just that I'm getting older and I'm developing morals in my old age. :lol: I know when I was younger I would have thought the idea of buying a game was outrageous.

 

Yeah, back in the day I did my share of snagging PC titles online but I've never gotten into console piracy. I'm to the point now where I play so little that I might as well just buy the ones I like outright.

This year I bought

Final Fantasy 13
Madden 2010
COD4
Assassins Creed 2 (for 10 bucks after a trade in)
AVP

Of those the only I paid full price for were FF and AVP. Madden and COD4 were bought for $40 over the holidays. I jumped at FF because I haven't played on in years, and I bought AVP because I want to support the franchise...it was a subpar game but it was put together by a small studio on a small budget, and given a big enough budget it could turn back into an awesome franchise....some of the better shooters I played on in the PC days.

There are other games I'll get when they go down, but push come to shove it's not out of line IMO to pay $20 for a title that you play a lot. I'll get Kane and Lynch 2 here soon as they're fun (yet shallow) games, but they're only costing $30.00, I'll end up buying Fallout New Vegas when it drops down to 40, and I'll get GT the day it drops.

I'm choosy, and like my system enough to not **** with it :)

 

and Mor wont be heard again for awhile.

 

Updates plllllllease. :up:

 

It's not out over here until Friday, I'm not sure I have the willpower to not grab this...

I'll definitely be buying the game on Friday morning though.

 

I pre-ordered it. I "downloaded" the first one for pc and liked it enough to actually buy it for ps3 this time.

I rarely pre-order games but since I've absolutely demolished Littlebigplanet I need something new to entertain my simple brain. :)

 

Remember me? I'm the douche who called Fallout 3 boring and trash because I had no idea WTF I was doing. Damn. I wish I had given it another shot.... I think I'm going to give this one a shot.

 

Could just pickup Fallout 3 again for cheap, too.

 

I realize that software piracy will always be an issue. And it's not like I have been a total saint when it comes to this topic. But working in the industry and having met more than one guy who lost his job - and existence - because of piracy, I find it quite troublesome how casual we react on this board when it comes to stealing a video game.

 

:ban:

 

By that same token, not as many new games would be sold without Gamestop's existence (or a store that operates similarly).

 

I realize that price dumping has become a major issue. And it's not as if the publishers themselves are innocent in that regard. But even a new game that is resold 5 bucks below the list price has been bought at full price once. A pirated game has simply been stolen. I won't try to pretend that people will one day stop to pirate games. But they could at least start to buy some. New Vegas is worth every penny you have to invest. I think the developer has a right to get some money if you enjoy it.

 

They're cheaper (and better) than they were back in the day.

Yes. But at least the publisher and the developer get paid once. With a pirated game, no one gets paid at all.

If a Ferrari wasn't so damn expensive, I'd buy one, too. The fact that a product is expensive doesn't give the right to steal it.

The real problem, however, is that the argument is simply false. A lower price doesn't provide for more sales. I can't speak for you personally, of course, but software pirates don't care about prices. They steal anyway.

Games actually were a lot more expensive long before Gamestop came about.

 

I for one use the pirates to let me know if the game is worth buying or not. So updates?

 

And let’s not forget Nintendo suing Samsung, losing, and having to pay something like double the price of SNES cart memory in retaliation. Of course, Chrono Trigger was still worth every penny of the $80 it cost…

I don’t pay much attention to it because mor or anyone else won’t stop downloading leaks just because some people on the interwebs take a moral stand against it, as page 2 generally proves.

 

This.

 

still haven't played this yet?

 

I just bought New Vegas on Steam. It unlocks at 3:01 AM Eastern. I’ll stay up and play the first hour or so, but it looks pretty much exactly like Fallout 3 with a roughly equal size area and more to do thanks to an intact Vegas.

Here's a little review of the game.

 

I'm about an hour and a half in. Its...underwhelming so far. It's Fallout 3. I can't shake the feeling that i'm playing the same game from 2 years ago. They should have started you off right in the strip (thats a tiny spoiler i guess, sorry) If that's the only 'new' part of the game. You start off in a little town away from the strip and you're basically in a desert that looks exactly like capital wasteland. Same color, same graphics, same voice acting, same character models, etc etc. Even the storyline seems like its going in the exact same direction, although i'd have to put a lot more time into to know that for sure. Vats is the same, pip boy is the same (couldn't just make a different menu just for the hell of it?), even the presets and customization you can make for your character are the same.

I loved Fallout 3. One of the best games of this generation. I don't know if i feel like playing it again though...

 

I agree that for the first hour or so, it feels more like DLC than a new game. But being exactly like Fallout 3 really isn’t a bad thing, nor does it feel like you’re replaying Fallout 3, IMO. Honestly, I’m reminded more of Borderlands than Fallout 3, at least this early on. Also, for anyone else playing on the PC, performance is pretty choppy, at least if you’re using an AMD card like I am. A driver update should help, but won’t happen until the end of the month or so.

I managed to get my *** kicked by a group of young geckos after doing an intro quest, and of course I didn’t save, so I’ve got to redo the quest (and all that walking…) just to get back to where I was. Enough of that, I’ll get back into it later.

 

I feel as though it was pretty clear that it would be very similar to Fallout 3. At least I'm going into the game already thinking that and have no problem with it.

 

Just out of curiosity, did they improve the ADS? So it's more like a FPS if you want it to be?

 

From some of the reviews I've seen, there seems to be more outcomes to missions and numerous more ways to beat said missions. Instead of simply achieving something by force, or by wit (in essence the evil or good way) there are other alternatives.

Anyone know if the perks have changed?
