DangerousBeans Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 My life ground to a halt on Friday and I spent as much time as possible this weekend wandering the wastes around New Vegas: blowing up giant scorpions with dynamite, trying to find that mayor's secret stash, robbing the innocent, betraying my new allies and trying to figure out what the hell "Caravan" is all about. I played so much my eyes bled and I thought at one point I'd broken my xbox. Good times. A lot of people are unimpressed, saying "it's just another add-on" to which I say, "So what!" more Fallout can never be a bad thing! Anyone else playing?

derv Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Hell yes, I love love love this game. I cancelled two games of Malifaux last weekend and booked a day off work to pickup the game early on Friday. Clocked up over 30 hours last weekend and love every second of it. Fallout 3 stole over 200 hours of my life and New Vegas looks like it will beat this record. Fantastic game, amazing depth and incredible storyline. Malifaux, you have been beaten but not forgotten. I will return to you one day, once I have finished roaming the wastes. Did I mention that I love this game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Wow, lots of love for New Vegas. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 *Chomps at the bit* I want to play so badly, but my computer is kicking the bucket on me and I'm resisting buying it for my 360.... for now. Damn you Fallout! Trying to eat my soul again! In other news, a Fallout MMORPG was announced =D. Its due in 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjelmen Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I really really want to play FO:NV ... but I have no money, so I'll have to settle for listening til all my friends talk about the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 house mate picked it up and is giveing it a good running though. I stuck it in my xbox and its ok. It is another add on to the game and they realy have not made a massive stride forward. Not blown me away as much as the first one. Once my house mate stops playing it i will steal it for a run though. My house mate has also sorted out caravan and is now swimming in cash its silly. Now fable 3... thats giving me trouser tents Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrabbit37 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Been playing FO3:NV for a little while now. Haven't been able to get as much in as I'd like, what with life getting in the way. I agree with the people who say it's essentially another add-on for FO3, but I also agree with those who say, "So what?" FO3 was one of my favorite games, and getting more of it, exploring vast new areas, is so worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I think a lot of the changes are pretty pointless to be honest - all the different ammo types, the ability to make ammo and all the "hippie" crap (mixing herbs and what not) - these are not things I wished were in FO3 but still it's nice to mix it up a bit. Tried it in hardcore mode for the first few hours - not a chance! I too await Fable with baited breath, however I'm not liking the sound of it so far. We'll see though. Fallout always trumps Fable but Fable was tons of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I am patiently awaiting Mass Effect 3 . I will give NV a shot when it drops down to the bargain bin price. I am currently wasting to much free time playing Blood Bowl:Legendary Edition on my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverborn403 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I have been dumping most of my free time into this game as well! Although last night I got the explorer perk and almost peed myself when I saw how many places there were to explore...and found myself giving up on any and all missions I had just to explore... Cass and I are currently trying to wade through the hordes of Ghouls that are hanging around a nuclear testing facility....I plan on putting life on hold again this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm so ridiculously stuck in vault 22... Been a lot of fun though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverborn403 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I got stuck there too...as far as I can tell if you cant repair the elevator you cant continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I actually figured it out just now. In the common area, on one of the shelves is a card key. That'll let you into the caves, which lead you into the pest control. What a nightmare... But you get like 1500 caps for it, so it's worth it.

Neverborn403 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 ah...well that would have been nice to find lol I just fixed the damn elevator...after questing to get my science high enough but yeah it was worth it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemantis99 Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I am in love with NV. Same basic package as F3, but a lot more grey-and-gray morality, instead of "Enclave vs. BOS". Hardcore mode isn't that bad, biggest pain is food/water, ha ha. Bugs are terrible though- the worst I've hit besides the freezing ones is that Veronique won't react to me giving her the Formal Wear/White Glove Attire that's supposed to trigger a special coversation and her teaching me a unarmed move. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ok, I give up. How the hell do you deal with Deathclaws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ok, I give up. How the hell do you deal with Deathclaws? Same way you dealt with them in Fallout 2... BULLETS! *showers you in .50 cal rounds* >.> yeah I know not very helpful. I still want to get the game but Fable 3 has eaten my soul.

DangerousBeans Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I used to deal with them with the dart gun which seems to be sadly lacking in NV. AP ammo was doing me well but I think I've used up all the AP ammo in the wasteland! I might just stick on a stealth-boy and leg it through the quarry. Bloody Deathclaws. Also, got the Fable 3 Limited Edition Super-sexy book case thing today My g/f's going to HATE ME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Also, got the Fable 3 Limited Edition Super-sexy book case thing today My g/f's going to HATE ME! My girlfriend and I are both loving Fable 3 right now. She's actually a bit further than I am, but we've been playing a lot of co-op. Great game. Death claws are a pain, best to just avoid them unless you are leveled up with great weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted November 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Best I can get my g/f to play is puzzle fighter. Long way to go before we're fighting over Fable I envy you sir! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ispep Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Fallout 3 stole over 200 hours of my life and New Vegas looks like it will beat this record. Hrm... 200 hours is a lot? I've got over 200 days played on one server in WoW. My druid alone is at 52 days played. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Hrm... 200 hours is a lot? I've got over 200 days played on one server in WoW. My druid alone is at 52 days played. For a single player game, yes, 200 hours is a lot. MMOs are a very different beast. I had 6000 hours in WoW (250 days) in 2 years before I realized I hated the game.
