Mikhailian Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Damn, it's beautiful. I know, right? They really went for the full court press/hail Mary, or some other sports analogy that I don't actually understand. Who ever put this thing together seems to have really scoured every applicable fo:nv forum for all the best ideas. But for all of us, there will come a point where it does matter, and it's gonna be like having a miniature suit-head shoving sticks up your butt all the time. - Tigranes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slowtrain Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm a little concerned about the extent of the "humor" in the game. Humor is pretty hard to pull of without being stupid. I hope Obs is smart enough to keep it on the back burner. As far as I know, there are no great humorists working at Obsidian. I take it you didn't much appreciate Fallout 2? Nope. ****ing hated it. Or close enough. Fallout 3 was more enjoyable. generally speaking, as a game. Overall. Bad attempts at humor wasn't my only reason for disliking the game however. But it was a contributing factor. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Slowtrain Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 (edited) As far as I know, there are no great humorists working at Obsidian. Oh man, that's HARSH. It wasn't meant to be be harsh. Humor is difficult to do well. Not everyone can suceed. Bad humor is cringe-inducing and painful when it fails. One of the most uncomfortable things is watching a bad comedian onstage. Sure, **** and fart jokes aren't too hard, but pushing into more substantial attempts at humor becomes quite difficult. edit: why the heck is that word censored. That's silly.

Malcador Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I must be alone in being underwhelmed at the offerings in that CE, the behind the scenes DVD does sound intriguing though. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Mostly curious about that, but still, not going to fork out that much cash for curiosity's sake. Then again, this offer won't last forever, so.

Oner Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I'm not sure how to feel about the comic. On one hand, Fallout Dark Horse comic written by MCA. On the other hand, someone else wrote NV's story, so why isn't s/he writing the comic too?

Undecaf Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Maybe I'll just break my rule of no investing in CEs and their useless clutter with increased price. Just this once.

WorstUsernameEver Posted May 11, 2010 Author Share Posted May 11, 2010 The price will probably too high but I'll think about it. I don't care about items and such things but the Avellone-penned graphic novel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sannom Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Gamestop is listing $69.99 for pc, $79.99 for consoles.[edit]: if that's accurate, I think it's a heck of a deal. So Far, The Witcher is the best CE I've bought. The artbook was really nice! I'm not sure how to feel about the comic. On one hand, Fallout Dark Horse comic written by MCA. On the other hand, someone else wrote NV's story, so why isn't s/he writing the comic too? Chris took part in the writing of the story, as far as I know. Also, he already has some experience in comics. And just because Chris is known to write a lot of the stuff in the games he leads, doesn't mean it's true for every designer out there.

Mikhailian Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I know, right? The difference in price is eaten up by the graphic novel alone.

mkreku Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I would have loved a bit sillier things. Like a small jutebag full of (fake) Mojave desert sand.. or a flash memory stick shaped as a poker chip.. or rugged glow-in-the-dark anti-radiation stickers.. Just absolute crap as mood enhancers. It looks good though. Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aram Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 I pre-ordered the expensive one. I assume it comes with a voucher for a free car wash by JE himself. Looking forward to it. Car is filthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
