Fallout: New Vegas


Recommended Posts

Camera men inadvertently got us our first glimpse of what I guess was a fire gecko, so he (she?)'s better than the interviewer.

 

I must be blind. Fire Gecko? Where?

 

It's really really blurry, but on the left screen behind Larry Liberty, I saw something black, vaguely resembling a lizard, rolling down on the ground in slow motion.

I'm guessing it was a fire gecko.

 

EDIT : Around 1:44

Amazing interviewer. Really.

 

The look on Larry Liberty's face when he asks about DLC and mentions Mothership Zeta is priceless.

So the interviewer thinks that space is the destination the series is headed towards?

 

And is that a starfish tattooed on his hand?

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

Wouldnt' really surprise me. The franchise has been heading in the ludicrous direction, content-wise, for a while.

 

FO4: Moonbase Alpha.

 

Can't wait.

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.

Like I said, we like to think we've got the best fans in the industry. Or at least the coolest.

 

And the Emo'est :)

In my day that was called Punk.

FO1: Stop the Hulk Army

FO2: Stop Oil Rig President

FO3: Stop Computer President

 

Moon sounds good. IIRC you were supposed to be able to see some sort of moon settlement when you arrived at BOMB in VB. It's certainly the sort of thing that people in the 50's thought would definitely happen in the future.

In my day punks didn't play games or attend conventions on commercialism.

I wonder what Ian MacKaye would say about this?...

Yeah... kinda depressing that the kids would totally miss the point of that song.

They're certainly showing a lot of confidence in the game by letting it be playable in so many conventions.

A good sign?

 

 

Why not?

 

Everything about the game looks good, and its still pretty similar to an already known and successful game. The new stuff has been met reasonably favorably, and most of the cirticism is graphics related, which is what the same people said about FO3 2 years ago. SO nothing new there.

 

This is pretty much a slamdunk for Obsidian. WHich is great. About time they were involved in a game that really blew the doors off in terms of sales. Also about time for Josh as well. Lots of hard work finally pays off.

I'll wait for the reviews before singing praises for Obsidian's success though. The press has generally been less excited about New Vegas than Fallout 3 (understandable, no novelty factor) but who knows how less excited they are?

 

I've seen people that are seriously convinced that anything less than 90 on metacritic for this game will mean that the game is a dud, and after Alpha Protocol reviewers and gamers alike are really wary about anything that comes out from Obsidian (I've seen like a hundred posts on the Bethsoft boards that were defending the game.. not because Obsidian was doing great in their opinion, but because Bethesda was helping them so it couldn't be bad.. really..), so... yeah.

 

Christ, I surely sounded like a doomsayer, but hey, maybe between two extremes it'll help keep things in perspective.

 

EDIT : I can't wait for you to get a look at Menze's new perk icons. They're awesome.

I'd wait for actual figures on sales. this isn't a movie, where you can just read a Roger Ebert review and be done with it

Sorry I should have been more clear, I'll wait for reviews because they're usually a very good indicator of how sales will go, and because quite frankly, a lot of other gamers will do and will decide whether to buy the game or not based on that.

 

I like what we know so far about New Vegas, and assuming it's not unplayable on release, I'll get the collector's edition.

 

Clearer now? :lol:

The end is coming!

 

Pre-order numbers so far have been quite good if those reported by vgchartz.com are accurate. Can't compete with those of Halo:Reach, but then again pretty much no game can.

Hate the living, love the dead.
