Fallout vegas
 
Anyone getting this?:D I see some jammy gits have already got their copy, I reckon this game is going to waste a few hours of my life.

myblackwrx 21 October 2010 03:16 PM

Hell yes
It will be bugged,annoying,scarey maybe (Dunwich Building in Fallout 3 comes to mind),exciting and loads of DLC (hopefully)

kingofturds 21 October 2010 04:09 PM

There is already an infinite money glitch but hopefully that will be sorted pronto.

StickyMicky 21 October 2010 05:27 PM

I have still not finished Fallout 3 :lol1:

I go through phases with it, sometimes i can sit and play for 6 hours straight, and then i will not touch it for months :cuckoo:

IIRC i have finished the Mothership Zeta DLC and the one that sends you back as another character (the combat heavy one with the winterised power suit at the end?)

In the main campaign i do recall finding my dad after the virtual reality section, and then he has told me to bugger off and get the GECK thing.

I think i am reasonably near the end of the main story, but i do belive i have another 2 DLC`s left to complete on it :lol1:

Promised myself i would finish F3 before going anywhere near vegas, hopefully that is about a year away, when i can pick up a GOTY edition and get all the DLC for nothing :D

The review i saw for Vegas said it was buggy as hell mind....

myblackwrx 21 October 2010 06:02 PM

Also looking forward to Hardcore mode :D

i'm sure it will have it's problems but at least it's offline problems rather than the recent FPS that have come out.

Neanderthal 22 October 2010 10:40 AM

I managed to finish F3 and still miss things that my mate said I should have needed to do in order to complete the game.
I've got FO:NV (PC) installed it but to be honest I'm not sure I can be bothered to put all those hours in. Especially as the new Call of Duty game is out soon.

Littleted 22 October 2010 04:22 PM

came this mroning still wrapped though not got time

myblackwrx 23 October 2010 09:39 AM

Enjoying it at the mo,quite like the challenges,bit harder than FO3 as you do seem to meet more enemies quite quickly and you don't have the high spec armour/weapons although i do like the ability to make different ammo types and the real iron sights.

Found a few glitches,enemy stuck in rock killed him couldn't loot body and for one of the missions for Ranger Jackson the last creature was stuck in a wall so you could VATS it so had to guess when you could shoot it.

kingofturds 23 October 2010 09:57 AM

I have had the game freeze on me a couple of times but nothing serious as I save regularly. It definitely takes more hits to kill people but since I saved the deputy in primm and picked up the incinerator I just burn people alive now:D

Flamethrower/Incinerator is useful for one of the sidequests ;)
10mm SMG is awesome either in VATS mode or normal FPS mode if an enemy is using it take them out first.

M4RKG 25 October 2010 12:52 PM

Not played either of the Fallout's... they good i take it then?

Whats the crack online, what do you do? FPS multiplayer type? (like COD)

myblackwrx 25 October 2010 01:14 PM

No online play, purely a solo offline adventure game.

Ian 25 October 2010 02:00 PM

if you like online, then Borderlands is abit like this and is very good

Is victor essential for the storyline? he murdered me when I had a go at him, yet he just stood around and got pecked to death without even putting up a fight.

myblackwrx 25 October 2010 03:43 PM

No idea, sorry, as I've only met him in Goodsprings and outside one of the casinos (went there on a side quest) where he informed me that the person who owns New Vegas wanted to see me.

M4RKG 25 October 2010 05:22 PM

Think i'm gunna get the original fallout just to see what yous are all talking about, sounds mental!

Is it worth getting the game of the year edition with the expansion packs etc?

kingofturds 25 October 2010 05:36 PM

It works out cheaper although I don't think the content is on the disc, you just get codes to download the content.

M4RKG 25 October 2010 05:42 PM

i'm sure the game on its own will be enough for me without faffin about with downloads... play.com are doing a canny deal, 2 games for 25 bones

might get me fallout and batman :)

... and then a new telly

StickyMicky 25 October 2010 07:00 PM

My pc version of F3 GOTY came on 2 discs, one is just to install the DLC.

Not sure if the 360 version will be like this though? although the pc version is Games for Windows LIVE ?

360 version is 2 discs aswell.
Handy as i borrowed the second disc from a mate and got all the DLC for free.

Miniman 26 October 2010 01:11 PM

Got NV, but also completed FO3. Never played the earlier versions, so playing Fallout3 I was quite happy to wander across miles of open country finding new locations. Then it became boring, but that time I had discovered lots of locations and could "warp" between them easily where necessary avoiding lots of walking.

Started playing NV and I'm not happy with all the walking to discover new places. I realise that it would change the game dymanics completely, but some sort of petrol/electric/alcohol scooter would have been useful.

Also there appears to be less NPC's in FO:NV (complared to FO3) so far., although I've not actually reached New Vegas yet. So less to do and making it less interesting as a RPG.

Bearo 26 October 2010 01:30 PM

It is buggy but such a fun game imo. Graphics engine needs an update too.. it looks awful on the consoles (but what doesn't).

Tip: find the knuckle dusters asap, VATS + knuckle dusters = limbs falling off everywhere.

myblackwrx 26 October 2010 02:47 PM

Miniman all you have to do is discover them then you can warp to them but the long walks do help to build up XP with the random encounters of creatures and gangs.
The settlements (and map) are a lot smaller than FO3 imo so less NPCs,there are plenty of missions as I've done about 18 missions (main and side).

Bearo this is a more of a quick fix to get more monies imo as Fallout 4 is in developement and Elder Scrolls 5 (or the MMO) are in developement.

andys 26 October 2010 10:14 PM

Prefered the engine when it was used for Oblivion

This is true, went round a mates on Fri and that was the first time I've played MW2 on a PS3 instead of the PC I play at home - the quality of the GFX was shocking in comparison to the PC.

kingofturds 27 October 2010 11:32 AM

I had my first quest glitch out on me last night leaving me unable to complete the quest:mad:

myblackwrx 27 October 2010 03:57 PM

Which one?

Didn't you save it before you started the quest? I'm saving it every 10/15mins. Its a pain but worth it imo.
