  1. Given game mechanics they could barley scratch them. It gets even worse with legion supposedly defeating them with machetes. Yes, and given game mechanics, water heals gunshots. Game mechanics are not the setting's reality. Indeed and using common sense that outcome is even more absurd. Unless you are willing to believe that 2000 years of weapon and armor development can be completely discounted.

  3. After a week or so your companion should automatically return to some pre-determined location. You'll get a message when it happens.
  4. You can try "player.moveto rex" assuming he still is in a valid area.
  5. It's definitely possible as I managed to defuse the bomb on my run. I used SCIENCE! Basically what I did: And you managed to report back a success? Because as far I could see the , regardless of whether .
  6. The item I saw for UK specifically mentioned "all platforms". Actually only 10% of tracked sales were for PC version.
  7. I was wondering about that as in that part of the game he got seriously bugged. Is he supposed to arrive in the vertibird or simply appear with you at the entrance to the dam with the armor?
  8. Quite a few things in fact. It had far less bugs for one. I don't think I encoutered even half the problems in whole of Fallout 3 that New Vegas has in only one area. Bugs are always a questionable thing to focus on. FO3 has a reputation for being excessively buggy (I had virtually no issues), and FONV is following up that reputation (again, I have had virtually no issues as well). I disagree. Some industry quality standards are in place for open world games and players have every right to judge games accordingly. I also had few minor issues with Fallout 3 but New Vegas turned out to be quite another story. Even without having my saves deleted/corrupted the sheer amount of console lock-ups was simply un-excusable. I seriously doubt a casual player could be expected to put up with that problem. But even worse is that for every severe technical issue the game has a dozen minor ones. In Fallout 3 I never needed to open up GECK so I could try to distinguish between bugs and terrible quest design. Fallout 3 also never showed me incorrect ending slide.
  9. Quite a few things in fact. It had far less bugs for one. I don't think I encoutered even half the problems in whole of Fallout 3 that New Vegas has in only one area. "Quite a few things. It had less bugs." ...is that all? No, but writing a three page long rant would be unfair to Obsidian. Like I said it's an ok game and many of it's issues are minor or small by themselves but the sheer number of them brings the overall experience down quite a lot.

  11. Just finished it. It's not a bad game but ultimately fails at too many aspects to call better than Fallout 3. Quality is all over the place and in the end it feels like quantity completely triumphed consistency.
  12. I'd certainly disagree. If level scaling of regular guns can cause a serious problem for the player I imagine the same can apply to other weapon types.
  13. Bethesda - the first Obsidian publisher who actually cares? If that's the way they care about their games I'd rather do without it. It's hard enough to find reasonable opinions without publishers getting reviews pulled and journalists fired at a drop of a hat.
  14. Why exactly do you believe gamespot? There are multiple other sources that say the complete opposite. Because I'm familiar with the reviewer and sadly in this case I'll take his word over all other gaming journalists combined. Was there any DLC considered? Maybe at least there is hope for small-scale story-driven addon.
  15. .... This is it fellow friends . EPIC, DRAMATIC is the key to great, compelling writing. They are signs of attempts at writing. It seems that for new vegas obsidian just didn't bother.
  16. Gamespot commented on the game in their podcast. Apparently it
  17. Maybe he had low expectations. Given Oblivion standards it would be hard to blame him. And I hope he's wrong as to the storyline. That was the biggest failing of Fallout 3 by far.
  18. Be careful what you wish for. There were far more absurd force feats in star wars expanded universe.
  19. Apparently most players (as in, almost all of them) played Disorder, so Order had no players = no faction balance = not fun etc. That
  20. Not really. But given that history is written by the victors and general state of historical education today it's hardly surprising that it is commonly believed.
  21. Why do I think the focus has changed? Lets see compared to civ 4: removed - religion, tech trading ,health simplified - improvements, happiness added - hexes, ranged attacks, strategic resource use, city states I do have a problem with this change as some of the most interesting civ games I had contained very little fighting. But the real problem is in how warfare works. I think that since adding things like giant death robots was necessary things might not turn out too good.
  22. It actually did have quite high requirements at the time it was released I remember being quite surprised .. especially since I couldn't find anything that justified it. And AI is looking even more worrisome in Civ 5. Since the whole game focus shifted to warfare it can only cheat so much before players start noticing things.
