You guys still playing Fallout: NV? I envy you guys... I got bored 20 hours in. Good game, though. Worth the dough, which means a fucklot these days.

Great news, Obsidian have shown they know Fallout, they GET Fallout. New Vegas is such a treat, I hope they make another at some point.

I played 50 hours into fo3 only to find I couldn't finish the game on any of my three saves and I tried all of them playing for hours more than the base 40. Think it was 'waters of life' or something where all the npcs were locked behind a door which should have been open. I tried all cheat codes to carry on, but nothing worked. I spent ages on forums trying to fix the crock of shit. It is why I have not purchased fonv, because no matter how pants the ending was in fo3, I never got to see it for myself and I fucking hated the publishers / devs who shipped it in that state for it. I would rate it as my worst gaming experience.
I have played many shit games, and you walk away voluntarily, delete from hard disk and never re-install. Fo3 I liked. I really wanted to play it through and it shat on me. I have never played a game before with bugs which prevented a game from being completed.
I will wait until patches come out and the game is reduced in price, and only then will i consider purchasing. I refuse to pay full price for the sequel to a game which drove me mad and left me feeling I had wasted so much time.
I dont normally post, I just lurk on the blues forums. But I read daily and have done for probably 10 years or more.

IMO this is bar-none the best Fallout game ever made.
Great level of depth, characters, world, graphics, options, dialogue.

Let me say this very bluntly... the days of Black Isle have long sailed. Obsidian may have the majority of Black Isle employee's, they simple don't have the 'ohh/ahhh' Black Isle had.
Btw.. wasn't it Bioware who wrote the book?

Annex wrote on Nov 8, 2010, 16:55:Uh. If you're having problems because you're not using the default codecs that's your problem, and not a bug. But a failure of the end user to know what the fuck they're supposed to be doing.
Yep, plenty of posts (and fixes) dealing with people having bad/old codecs installed (like ffdshow) that mess the game up. While certainly the developer cant test the game with every codec type and version out there, one would hope they wouldnt make the game reliant on what codec the user had installed on their system.
