Fallout 3 : New Vegas (was game=268)Follow
who got this yesterday and FFXIV is taking a back seat for now due to this EPIC FREAKING GAME.
It's Fallout: New Vegas and not Fallout 3, they aren't related except sharing same game engine and same universe.
Actually there is talk of the wasteland in DC in this game but I dont want to give away anything
Yea...I picked it up last night. I will be playing it as well 14 over next month or two while waiting for 14 to hopefully "fix" itself. Initial thoughts of Vegas? Well...It should be called Fallout 3: New Vegas. They didn't change a thing. It is a glorified 100+ hour expansion for Fallout 3. I'm perfectly fine with that since I loved 3...but those wanting more may end up being a tad disappointed.
This probably belongs in cross-game. Wouldn't have gotten subdefaulted then.
I bought it too and personally I think that what they did is perfect. They had a winning formula with Fallout 3 and Oblivion, and there was no real need to overhaul how the games *play*. It gets old when every time a company pulls out a new game you have to re-learn all over again how to move your character and shoot a gun.
That said, they made enough *subtle* changes that I can forgive them for reusing the engine. It's definitely updated - VATS is greatly improved. No more wild shots and a 60% chance of hitting an enemy actually means you have a good chance of hitting it. Those of us who liked Alchemy in Oblivion and missed it in Fallout 3 can rejoice - They have brought it back in another form.
Overall they did some really good things with the game and it's unfair to act like it has no merit just because they didn't see the need to write a whole new engine.
I mean, look how that worked out for SE. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I played NV from when I got home for abour 4 hrs... got on XIV did 2 leves and said ***** it... Im going back to the wasteland.. I will probably only log onto FFXIV for the next few days to do leves and log off and back to steam.
not to worried about "sub-defaulted" not like it means anything... oh noes people dont like my forums post guess I need to /suicide now.
Well..to me personally, this thread is FFXIV related through pure irony. Ya see...I spent enough at Best Buy in preparation for FFXIV(new pcs n stuff)...that I earned enough rewards($60.00) to pay for Fallout Vegas.
Ahhh...the circle of gaming life.

I did enjoy finding Indian Jones in the fridge. And I got a cool hat from him.
I didn't touch FFXIV last night I was too busy playing Fallout to loggin.

I got it as well. I agree it's pretty much fallout 3 new vegas, but also agree that is fine by me. Not going to take the place of XIV since I'm having fun with that too. I'll play them both.

Report it to an admin then and they can move it. That's not what the ratings system is for.

Actually, he's right.
People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam
