I agree for the most part, but keep in mind after 30 days you'll be paying more money in order to keep playing.
Yeah, that's the thing that gets me about MMOs. I'll pay a monthly fee or I'll pay for the box, but not both. I don't care if it has 20 KoToR quality story lines. There are just too many other good games out right now that don't have a monthly fee attached for me to care. |

Sometimes gamers are the worst. In the search for FPS they'll disable services, tweak registry values, overclock to the breach, buy hardware that hardly anyone supports, and/or install all manner of 3rd party "fixes" and "optmizers".
Months pass and they forget what they did. A new game comes out and (unsurprisingly to everyone but them) it crashes.
I'd say about 25% of the cases I read in the tech support forum are probably related to something gamers did to their own PCs. |

Too many people have recognized Obsidian's incompetence.
I do find it interesting that when Obsidian releases a buggy game, they're incompetent, but when Bethesda releases a buggy game, they're endearing.
I don't know about endearing, but there's a significant difference between Obsidian games and Bethesda games in my experience. Bethesda games are pretty fun out of the box for me. They might glitch and have some crashes, but the gameplay is pretty decent and they're still pretty fun. Obsidian games usually feel rushed - liked they tried to do too much with too few people.

Same. I've actually had very, very few issues with Skyrim and I've got a ton of hours invested in it. For me this actually is the most bug-free Bethesda release I've ever seen.
I think the untold story is more interesting here.
If Sawyer's willing to step out and poke Bethesda either him and Hines have a really solid professional relationship or Sawyer just canned his chance to ever do another Fallout game.

Given the trashy broken state that Fallout New Vegas (and every other game Obsidian has ever touched) shipped in I don't think Obsidian is a credible source of information...

Are there any other good gaming news sites beside this one?
I used to read Kotaku but then they redesigned it and now it sort of sucks. I still read VE3D sometimes, but it doesn't cover that much. Slashdot has sort of gone downhill (not that it was a gaming site). Some of the old game sites are just gone or hardly do anything anymore.
Anandtech is still around and kicking (and pretty good) if anyone remembers them.

I can see how they'd screw it up for PC but there shouldn't be any excuse to have a patch screwed up for consoles.
Still a good game though. Dammit. LOL. |

I liked the exploration in FO3 more than in NV but the story of NV was better. I can't really say which game I liked more overall. I'm not sure I could pick.
I think the best FO3 DLC was the one where you go to the swamp. It had a creepy story that was worth doing. I liked the others but I can see why many people would skip them.
I just bought all the NV DLC for like ten bucks so I figure my chances of getting my money's worth there are really high. Steam sales are awesome if you're willing to wait a few months for them to hit.

It was fun in beta. I guess I'll update but I've sort of moved on now. I got my money's worth though so I don't have any complaints.
I wish someone would take the technology, improve it, and make a new Populous game out of it though.

| The game is awesome. The UI is weird and I hope they tweak it. I basically get what they were going for, but I think it failed. |
