I'm hoping for some okay restaraunts with great food so i won't get hungry

 

there is a mcdonalds right on the strip.

 

but the grand lux cafe in the venetian is where its at: 24 hours of good hangover food


Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

It can't really be understated how big of a splash Fallout 3 made. After Bioshock it was maybe the game that normal people heard about.

Do we need those kind of splashes? I was happy in nerd land...

 

I'm warming up to this game. And since I was never a Fallout enthusiast to begin with, that's saying something. The visual resemblance to Fallout 3 is off putting (brings back bad memories,it does), but the premise is wacky enough to catch my attention.

 

Might be time to restart my anti romance crusade again. Instead give us a brothel! Make all the hoes suitably dirty, and the action at least implicitly hot.

 

Kama Sutra Master FTW!

 

Question: who are the writers behind Fallout: NV and what's their previous work?

Mainstream media coverage this early in the hype cycle? Wow.

 

Most likely a product of vertical integration

Is there some ownership connection between Gannett (USA Today's parent) and Zenimax (Bethsoft's parent) that I'm not aware of?

 

I was thinking more along the lines of a connection between USA Today and PC Gamer

 

The USA article definitely reads like an advertisement for PCG's cover story.

Ah; that makes a bit more sense. PC Gamer is owned by Future Publishing, which owns a whole lot of different specialty publications. I don't see any obvious connections to Gannett, and it isn't exactly uncommon for newspaper writers to crib leads from trade magazines. But there could also be some cross-promotion arrangements between the two companies, I suppose.

Poor Josh, he's certainly had a run of bad luck.

I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. 

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.

Good enough for me. :thumbsup:

 

Wow, didn't know Chris worked on Fallout 2 - that's promising.

I wonder if he is going to include his usual metaphysical musings, I've grown used to them.

The story was done by the time he joined the NV project, I wouldn't bet on it.

 

 

Its mix of role-playing and first-person shooting game elements, as well as its elaborate and expansive story, earned Fallout 3 critical praise and several game-of-the-year awards. The game has sold about 4 million copies.

Didn't Avellone also work on Thorn? And Sawyer did writing and design for Gauntlet. Iirc, they ended up cutting a lot of his stuff out of the game though. I also think Sawyer did some work for IWD1.

Story-wise, I'd say these are the most important people, Sawyer as lead designer and project director, Gonzalez as lead creative designer, and Avellone as senior designer and Obsidian's creative director.

The trailer is the only thing I can point to to answer your question, can't say much more than that. Josh and John Gonzalez (our creative lead and master of all things plot-related) put together a great story with some fun new mechanics, and they know their Fallout.

Yea, my bad.
