I'm playing (and loving) Fallout NV right now - my first attempted playthrough got cut off with a hardware failure that required a rebuild pretty early in, so believe it or not I am just now experiencing it for the first time. As a fan of the first 2 seminal games in the series, I still see enough "Fallout" in NV to be worthy of the name despite the perspective change. It's a great game - the fun exploration easily makes up for its other shortcomings.

Ironically I just loaded my 144th mod for New Vegas, and have it pretty much dialed-in, fined tuned, and running great. No CTDs, no stuttering, or issues so far; hopefully they don't rear their ugly head over time as my save file grows.

Have you gone to NexusMods and loaded up an mods, or are you just running Vanilla?

Enjoy!


I am running vanilla. I have sifted through FO Nexus but haven't installed any yet. Thanks for the advice all.

EDIT - On that note, are there any must-have mods for New Vegas? The Brazil one looks amazing but I have tried it yet.

News Comments > Shadowrun Returns Delayed to Next Month
17. Re: Shadowrun Returns Delayed to Next Month Jun 18, 2013, 18:44 Prez
 
I was hoping the release day would get here quickly, but if they think they need another month, then that's that. Still a little worried about how it's going to turn out, but as of right now it's still high on my wishlist. Needless to say that with about a 1000 games in my Steam catalog using Steamworks is a 'plus' as far as I'm concerned.

From what I saw, the newest footage of Day Z looks very unpolished. I thought going retail would change that, but alas, not so much.
It's a BIS game

Indeed, which actually means BIS has to actually REMOVE some of the polish before releasing it!

Planetary Annihilation looks really cool, Im definitely watching this game.

It's probably the closest we'll ever get to a real Supreme Commander sequel. Hopefully it will be even better, as SC never really seemed to reach its full potential before being somewhat lobotomized into just another RTS.

Absolution can't have sold well, the game dropped to ~$20 in what seemed like a few weeks. I haven't played any of the hitman games so I can't comment on their quality. Obviously people liked them or they wouldn't have made what..4 or 5 games and a derpy movie.

I got it for 5 bucks on Amazon 2 weeks ago. Hitman Blood Money was a fantastic game, but it dropped in price pretty quickly too as I recall.

Katie show just gave a "Best Ab's" award, the almost all female audience just swooned. Same shit.

See ya all next year to continue the same conversation.

Next year? With gaming journalists so desperate for attention and sexism in gaming being the popular go-to website hits-grabber of late I expect another round of this nonsense within a couple of days, a week at the outside.

I almost miss the days when homophobia was the go-to theme of choice.

My mom bought my kids their Nintendo Wii, and I was surprised that she even knew what one was. The key was that it was only $200. People saying that it's all about the casual market are right. The question is, however, whether $500 is something the casual market is going to be willing to pay. I'd say by and large no. My mom did not buy my daughter the Wii U because it was too expensive.

I am not sure about Mini Ninjas, but as for those that I've played IO's Hitman Blood Money was probably their last really good game. The Kane and Lynch games weren't bad, just average. Absolution seems to be a pretty divisive game from a review standpoint - some liked itnand others loathed it. Another game like Blood Money is what they need.

Interestingly, he's the only person on my ignore list. While we have a lot of stupidity and shills around here, most of them are more than willing to have a civilized if pointless and one-sided debate.


He's the only one on mine too. He is so deluded by his self-perceived superiority to such an extent that any deviation from his stated position puts you squarely in the category of the very villainy that he is raiiling against. Having an opposing opinion to his "perfect" one is akin to a crime.

Over 70 posts on a dead horse non issue. Jesus why doesn't everyone just ignore Beamer? He accuses everyone on this site of basically every crime against humanity. He is a fucking troll. Just one that writes in walls of text and likes to club you over the head with his arrogance.

Edit: Very wise choice NKD. He is an absolute waste of skin.

"At E3, We Are Still Making An Issue About Imaginary Sexism So We Can Write An Article That Will Get Hits And Make Us Look Noble." is more like it. May I suggest the subtitle "Hey, it works for all the other gaming journalists who have nothing of real value to write about so why shouldn't we do it too?

Maybe try going back to fabricating race issues for a while? The whole "WAAH -SEXISM!!!" theme is waaaay tired and needs a break. You're in danger of going to the well too often with this particular made-up issue. Maybe make up a totally new one, like an "anti-midget" culture in gaming?

I actually read that whole article and (honestly not trying to be dense here) I have no idea what he is going on about aside from the self-evident point that actual rape is really, really bad and seriously harms actual victims. This whole "rape culture" nonsense doesn't wash with me. It sounds like more fabricated thought-policing.

Rape is only one type of violent crime. Given that beatings and murder are far FAR more common themes in American entertainment, shouldn't we be saying that there exists a "murder culture"? Yet we don't, because there is no potential white-knight crusade that faux noble hypersensitive people can jump on since murder is just as likely to happen to men as women (who cares, right?) while in the majority of rapes women are the victims. Now THERE is a good "minority" group that (like all do in the minds of these nuts) needs defending - TO THE INTERNET!!

I continue to push back on this subject not because my life revolves around rape jokes but because the politically-correct white-knighter's, despite meaning well, have infected to much of American psyche with their wrong-headed attempts at thought and speech control and made too much discourse in everyday life toxic and potentially harmful to too many innocent people, like this poor PR guy who did absolutely NOTHING wrong yet is getting called out all over the web by hypersensitive, misguided wackos when he meant no harm at all. So I push back on this whenever I can, because your crusade is ruining people's lives and making it harder and harder for people in the public eye to make a living while still be able to say what they want when it is clear that they intended no harm. Regardless of how the hypersensitive white-knights interpret everything through their perverted prism, people shouldn't be crucified because one group or another hears words or sees action in the absolute most malignant light possible.

It's gotten so ridiculous that Brent Mussberger and even Barrack Obama get crucified by people infected with this hypersensitivity disease for saying something nice about a beautiful woman. It is absolutely out of control, and I am tired of the hypersensitive white-knighters getting to dictate what is culturally allowed and what isn't. Sorry, but a random wolf whistle from some random guy at E3 is just not a big deal (in fact it's no deal at all) and is perfectly acceptable. I'm way more offended by all of the nutty over-reaction by self-appointed speech police who somehow got the notion in their heads that they have the power to declare what is and what isn't socially acceptable in a given environment or instance. And everyone else is just supposed to conform because you said so? Sorry, but no.

There's also a pretty bad slog through a swamp/town chapter. The pacing in the second game is better.

I liked that chapter because I got to have sex with a naked green lady in the bushes.

Oh, and I never got tired of hearing that old lady in the bonnet tell me that "THE WATER LORDS ARE NIGH!".

Remind me again what's so bad about Origin? To me it's like Steam with a different look.

What is a "Soldat on a boat?" Anyway, about Origin: Downloading games sucks for one thing. I downloaded BF2142 3 times (that's a bunch of GB and I pay if I go over my limit) and each time the install failed. The archiving system is terrible, while Steam's works flawlessly. When my friend bought me a SW:KotoR key, it took me 2 days to get it working because Origin kept telling me my sign-in was invalid even after I did the reset password dance multiple times and I know for a fact my credentials were correct. (What made it even worse is once I did get it working with EA Support's help I soon realized what a godawful game it was...). I have had other issues on top of these, amounting to a very unpleasant experience. Then there's the fact that I loathe EA because they are a terrible company and I would rather not use their service at all.

As far as Uplay goes, it basically works as advertised. The worst I can say about it is that it just feels unnecessary. And if you had no issues with Steam, you either didn't use it in the very beginning or you were very lucky. I used it when HL2 first released and it was HORRIBLE. To say that it has come a long way is a massive understatement, since it is far and away the best service out there now.

Wolf whistling was always sexist, be it men or women doing it. It is inappropriate in public nowadays, especially when you whistle at strangers or work related people. And it is far more inappropriate on a public stage like the E3.

Who makes these rules exactly? Sounds like BS to me.

But once you put making money above the user, you start down a slippery slope.

Hell, most big publishers started down that slope years ago. A few have already hit bottom.
