Fallout: New Vegas official discussion thread

Getting my PC version for R296 including shipping. Reviews are fairly positive so far, so I'm looking forward to Friday. :D
 
I'm really looking forward to the hardcore survival mode. I played Fallout 3 to death - I was an unstoppable force eventually; one man army. It will be nice to get into this game with a real survival element playing a role.

I must say this is one thing that also appeals to me, After about 5 hours in Fallout 3 it became a little easy to head shot the raiders way before they even spotted me.

Is getting tempted to get this....
Must resist....
 
Hardcore sounds fun and scary at the same time since even your bullets are going to weigh something.

Also they got some pretty awesome perks to pick from.

WAnt me to compile for you an epic mod list for the pc version as I did with my "maplassie's oblivion mod essentials"?

Just about changes the game completely
 
With Fallout: New Vegas at last reaching store shelves, and the vice-grip of Fallout addicts everywhere, it's time to see what the equally-ensnared press thought of the game.

Here is a pretty vast collection of New Vegas reviews we've seen so far. We'll of course add to the list as more start to pop up.

Eurogamer (9/10): "New Vegas may jump across America for its setting, and forward several years in the timeline, but it's a seamless continuation of what Bethesda set in motion in 2008 with Fallout 3."

GamePro (4.5/5): "It closely matches Fallout 3 in terms of depth and content; if you loved the original, you'll probably love this one as well."

Official Xbox Magazine UK (9/10): "All you have to do is listen to the post-game chatter of those that have played it and you'll learn that, sure enough, Obsidian has created something that's consistent yet unpredictable enough that everyone's adventure feels like it's something unique and worth sharing."

IGN UK (9/10): "Like 3 and Oblivion before it, New Vegas is a game to share stories about, one that lets you carve your own path through a beautifully constructed world."

The Guardian (5/5): "Writing this review has been difficult simply because I've been itching to strap on my Pipboy, get back to the wasteland and do a bit more exploring – there's nothing quite like it. I think you'll feel the same."
morable locations and characters and is a worthy followup to Fallout 3."

This will be a welcome change. There was something comical about walking around the Capital Wasteland with 5 mini-nukes, 10000 rounds of 10mm ammo, 5000 .45 rounds, several hundred handgrenades and a few landmines.
 
seems to be getting a free pass due it being Fallout

but it seems obisidian strikes again. good story, good game, utterly horrid coding and QA parts... bugs galore :(

This:
Then I realized you gain Karma for murdering Legion members and lose Karma for killing NCR troops, so the lines weren't so blurred after all

Puts me off the game. One of the things I loved from Fallout 1 was how u could be anything u wanted, good, bad, something inbetween. Here it sounds like just another black & white video game morality system. How hard is it to give us shades of grey?
