Fallout New Vegas GS $20

Already had this on release day for the 360, but giving up on that system (whole horror story related to the beta program, hate MS at the moment), but did snag this for the ps3 the other day. Loving it, especially at $20.

all us cheapass bastards do it lol
 
In my opinion, the fallout games (particually the last two released) are so overrated. My problems with the series are

.boring characters
.buggy
.boring stories compaired to others rpgs (this alone will kill a rpg for me)
.combat isnt fun, the v.a.t.s system gets old very fast and without it, the shooting is even more bland
.buggy
.horrible ( and i mean activision milking horrible) animations
.horrible voice acting ,you Cant have 3-4 people doing the voices for every character in a huge rpg like this. Especially if they are bad as the ones in fallout 3
.buggy

Bethsista cant code for sh*t. Its amazing how reveiwers completly ignored the games problems in fallout 3 in particular. Hopefully skyrim changes my view of them. Id be stupid Not to keep track of this game as it has some eliments that interest me (random epic dragon fights baby !) i want skyrim to be good.

GOTY is usually released with Multiple DLC

to my knowledge there is only 1 DLC currently and it seems as no more in sight
 
There are several more DLC coming out over the next few months. I'll also wait and hope for an Ultimate Edition sometime later this year.

What happened? I'm STILL trying to settle on one or the other, since long term I can't store stuff for both.

Xbox has more games I like early on, but is being phased out now, and vice versa. Of course if the Xbox 3 ends up fully backwards compatible, and has a similarly great run... (Geez does Microsoft dump systems fast! Nintendo and especially Sony you can count on a few years of support...Microsoft drops them months (or in this case a year?) before the next one comes out)

[quote name='malethief']I'll wait for the inevitable goty version but nice find for those who can't wait[/QUOTE]

Yeah...$20 I'd totally buy this...except it's supposed to be a buggy mess, AND they always release these "actually complete versions" of it. I'll wait for that, which will hopefully be patched.

[quote name='sgr76']Ugh! I really need to get through this back log & get back to fallout 3[/QUOTE]

How many games are in your backlog ? Ive got mine down to five after i finish portal 2 today. I have disks 3 and 4 of lost odyssey, borderlands goty, final fantasy 13, fable lost chapters and la niore when it comes in the mail. Im shocked that people have 50 to 200 games in their backlog

Fallout 3 goty was a pile. To those waiting for an "improved" goty version, the opposite was true with the previous game. Barely worked on ps3.

That said New Vegas has been bug/crash free for us on ps3 so far.

Where are you getting this idea? The most recent rumors are still 2012 at the earliest (And Microsoft isn't showing it at E3 in two weeks, which makes this one rather unlikely) and most rumors are still pointing towards late 2013-14.

I think people asume this cause of what happened to the first xbox ( eventhough the 360 has already been around longer then the first xbox) i think 2013 Microsoft will release it.

Ya people are crazy. Microsoft has had amazing support for the 360 and stilldoes. The rrod was bad but I think Microsoft handled it very well, after they admitted it was a problem of course. They are also still pushing out major dashboard updates, the newest having something to fo with disc reading.

Also of the 3 systems the 360 is the oldest so I would think they would have one earlier anyways. Nintendo is the only one to have a confirmed new console as well. Granted they probably need it the most.
 
Also Bethesda are pretty fine coders. The problem more so lies with the massive scope of their games. It's really tough to test everything as well as the fact that the more you do in their games the more the system has to keep track of. That o's why you have more problems on console versions and why the most common problems occurs late in the game. Typically.

They need to step their console game up. No matter how big a game is They should take the proper time needed to perfect the game as much as possible. If im paying 60 dollars for a game i dont want it to be released with game breaking glitches that prevent me From finnishing the game. How are you going to release a goty edition ( particulary the ps3 version ) that is even more buggy than the standered one ? People shouldnt except that. Im just glad that skyrim has a new engine ( supposedly) skyrim is their last chance to win me over. I really do want to like their games. Their games do have some good ideas
 
You can't condemn a developer because a way a title runs on one platform, Expand your hardware and then play same game and it works fine, specifically try a much cheaper pc version of said game.

I have a ps3 and a 360. Both versions have bug problems (ps3 one is just worse) and They should be ashamed of releasing a game( fallout 3 and new vegas) that have these problems. If you are going to do that then dont charge full price. And i wish i did have a beastly gaming rig but with all the hastle , the cost , drms etc its just not for me. I havent played on pc since i played unreal tornament 2004 and my old copys of doom and heretic ( god i want a consle heretic so bad )

I played through both fallout and then the goty edition on the 360 and never had a problem outside of the occasional freeze which all games have at times. I never did play on the ps3 and I did hear it had some issues but that they got fixed fast by Bethesda. It isn't always the devs pushing for a quicker release but the companies over them, ie ms and Sony. I believe Microsoft pushed for them to release that pit expansion so fast and that is why it was so buggy but idk for sure about that.

New Vegas doesn't count as it was obsidian who made that and they have their own set of issues.

No problem, just doing my civic duty to ensure that people buy the right versions of games.

I know They didnt make new vegas but They should have overseen the game as it was being made. If i was them i would be pissed at obsiden. They just made a mockery out of one of one of their most valuable ips. Now when skyrim comes out the casual consumer who doesnt come to sites like this or n4g will remember hm Bethesda, oh Yea They make those buggy fallout games boy new vegas was a mess ( casuals dont know the developers who make these games so They dont know obsiden made it ) and They will skip skyrim. There goes a buyer right there and that person will pick up call of duty modern rehash 3 insted
 
Fallout NV has 1 DLC out already with 3 more already announced so not sure where somebody was getting that they weren't doing DLC for this game. Also, from my experience of FO3 and FONV. FONV had a much more compelling story and I experienced zero bugs/glitches with NV and I beat it to completion. I played FO3 on the PC and gave up less than half way through because it was a buggy mess and the story sucked. So I give more props to Obsidian than to Bethesda any day of the week.
 
i played fallout new vegas on ps3 and didn't run into any of the bugs that people are talking about. it does freeze up occasionally so i recommend saving your game often, but you should be doing that anyway. i think i liked fallout 3 better (because it was more fun to explore the dc ruins), but if you enjoyed fallout 3, you will enjoy new vegas as well.

What i said earlier is that i only knew about the first dlc for new vegas and i wasnt sure if there was going to be more after that. Oh and btw you are so lucky, you are the first persion who ive heard say that They had no problems with new vegas. You are so lucky

If the casual doesn't know Obsidian made it, then they probably don't know Bethesda made Fallout 3 either. I blame XBox, they made it! Or EA, cause they're fun to blame for everything too. ;)

On topic, I'm really tempted to pick this up, cause I loved Oblivion, but I only made it halfway through Fallout 3. I may as well wait till I finish that some day, and the GOTY edition of this will probably be out. Anything story-wise that should prevent me from starting this without finishing 3?

Completely unrelated story. It is fun. Personally I think fallout 3 was more fun to explore. This one had a story that kept me going though. So if the wide openness of fo3 is what is keeping you from finishing this then you should do better with new Vegas.

As someone above me said if a person doesn't know obsidian made new Vegas they won't realize that Bethesda made this one. It is a shame that Bethesda let obsidian butcher this ip but they did it to better focus on their own personal ip the elder scrolls games. I may not like it but I understand. Skyrim and cod are apples and oranges. I doubt one bad game in a series will sway people as well since the people playing one or the other play those two games for specific reasons, and they are very different reasons.

Game's by Obsidian, Bethesda just published so yeah. They're pretty much the best writers in the industry, big improvement over FO3 which was really overrated. Voice acting also kicked ass in this one.

The VAST majority of games I play never crash. That's super rare for me...though Oblivion crashed all the time on my Xbox, and every once in a while on my Playstation.

It isn't always the devs pushing for a quicker release but the companies over them, ie ms and Sony. I believe Microsoft pushed for them to release that pit expansion so fast and that is why it was so buggy but idk for sure about that.
Click to expand...

Normally the platform holder would have no control over release date. Some co-marketing deal could change that though. In the case of those expansions, Microsoft buys timed exclusivity deals on those all the time, so in that case maybe they could force something out.

It's not the length of support, but how fast Microsoft dumps support after their next system is close. Happened with the Xbox, and appears to be happening with the Xbox 360 again.

[quote name='mblackwl']Where are you getting this idea? The most recent rumors are still 2012 at the earliest[/QUOTE]

2012's just next year. Tested's my first inkling of this.

How do I know this though? Simple...Microsoft went from massive support for the Xbox from 2005 through 2010...and then hasn't released anything since, and we only have two known upcoming games.

Unless someone can think of a fourth possibility, that leaves:
-Microsoft HAS more games in development, but they're under incredibly tight security. This is very unlikely, both because it would be strange not to announce more things, and because things always leak.

-Microsoft is exiting the game industry. Also very unlikely, and contradicted by rumors.

-Development has shifted to the Xbox 3. This is the most likely of the three IMO, meaning we're probably 6-18 months out.

The thing is, Microsoft makes it easy to tell when a new system is coming. Sony especially you keep seeing some support for a few years. Nintendo you see support through the new system at least. Microsoft it appears dumps support before the new system is officially announced. It happened once, it appears to be happening a second time.

You have one prior generation available to base your observations off of. There is also a 4th option, Microsoft is just having a slow year. Last year was an amazing year for MS exclusives, and was somewhat poor in the sony department, this year is just switched. It also doesn't help that a few previous MS exclusives lost their exclusivity, looking at you Mass Effect.
