Humanoid Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Just preordered on dvd.co.uk, 21 quid including delivery is not bad at all. Forced steam is still going to suck a lot but I'll make an exception for Obsidian. We'll see how fast it gets here - Krezack and other Aus/NZers, what options are you using? Based on past experience, if they ship on the Friday (22nd), there's probably 50/50 chance getting it the following week. If they ship a few days early (variable, depending on publisher they get stock in on different days before official release), then it's a much better chance. That said, I imagine NZ Post could possibly be faster than Aus Post due to smaller volume/geography. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G

Morgoth Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Moar like Fallout 3: New Vegas amirite? Rain makes everything better.
WorstUsernameEver Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) I have difficulties taking seriously someone who talks about Fallout 3's story hitting the right way, sorry. EDIT: Looks more like a blog post than a review anyway. Edited October 17, 2010 by WorstUsernameEver
Labadal Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 - Less interesting story than Fallout 3 When I read this, I laughed. I now realized I might get the game November 5. FUUUUUUU- There delivery times aren't the best, but their prices are for me. I pre-ordered from a UK online shop and they don't deliver the game on release day even if I pre-ordered it. But it was so damn cheap compared with games over here.

Flouride Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Funny review is funny. Feels like Oblivion with guns... I wonder what Fallout 3 felt like. Hate the living, love the dead.
pmp10 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 I have difficulties taking seriously someone who talks about Fallout 3's story hitting the right way, sorry. 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.
Bos_hybrid Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 - Fallout 3s flaws are harder to overlook in New Vegas The only criticism worthy of mentioning. Expect to hear more of it.
Malcador Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 That review was slightly less useful than anything out of IGN. 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

Syraxis Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 - Less interesting story than Fallout 3 Anyone who finds daddy Neeson interesting needs to read more books.
HoonDing Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Good to see that reviewers will finally write the reviews they wanted to write for Fallout 3. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.
Gorgon Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 - Less interesting story than Fallout 3 Anyone who finds daddy Neeson interesting needs to read more books. FO 3's story was actually good. It just had a very disappointing ending and didn't stand a replay. The first time around though, top marks. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
sorophx Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 of course it was good, it was the F2 story recycled. only recycled badly Walsingham said: I was struggling to understand ths until I noticed you are from Finland. And having been educated solely by mkreku in this respect I am convinced that Finland essentially IS the wh40k universe.
funcroc Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 http://twitter.com/DanStapleton/status/27404543174 Can't say nuthin' bout [Fallout: New Vegas] until the embargo lifts on the 19th. According to one of GAF members, the F:NV review embargo will lift on Oct 19 at 16:00 pm (Europe, GMT+1)
Hurlshort Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 of course it was good, it was the F2 story recycled. only recycled badly Uh, wot? I thought it was more like the original than anything.
funcroc Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) http://twitter.com/Andrew_Reiner - Starting up a third playthrough of New Vegas.- Sorry gang, I can't comment on the game until Tuesday. All my playthroughs will make sense once you read the review. - A month or so. (Q: how early do you get a game before its released?)

Flouride Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 Oh yeah, forgot to add in my previous post: If anything that reviewer is asking for trouble. I'm pretty sure Zenimax doesn't take kindly to pirates? reviewing their pirated copy Since there's no way such a site actually got a review copy. Hate the living, love the dead.
Bendu Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 http://twitter.com/#!/JimSterling - First Jimpressions of New Vegas: As far as I am concerned, Alpha Protocol never happened now. Slate's clean.- Played New Vegas for two days and have only officially completed two quests. [censored] hell! - I in no way mean to imply that that's a BAD thing, either. - @snoopypup248 If it is, it's an expansion that's worth $60 - New Vegas has officially overwhelmed me. I have so many quests going on and don't know where to start. This is terrifying and awesome.

Pop Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) http://attackofthefanboy.com/news/fallout-vegas-review/ A review (Probably didn't get the embargo note). A bad one. Then again read through it and decide after if you take it seriously His points - Less interesting story than Fallout 3 - Fallout 3s flaws are harder to overlook in New Vegas - Graphixxx Given that the reviewer references "other people on the forum" who have played the game, it stands to reason that the reviewer is not an official reviewer, but a pirate. Somebody should kick that off to Zenimax - Every forum I've ever been on has had explicit rules about open admission of piracy, and if the guy is able to publish official blog posts for the site he's probably important enough that getting him in trouble is going to create a lot of entertaining drama. The one thing this does for us is foretell the reaction the Bethboard masses are going to have towards NV. It's going to be a funhouse reflection of the reaction we had to Bethsoft's F3, pretty much.

Pop Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 (edited) Also according to some gossip blog, the F:NV launch party happened last night and Vampire Weekend performed for some reason. Various television actors were in attendance. Couple of little things that are apparently confirmed by streams and the like: There will be different fighting styles that will augment unarmed combat (no idea if this changes animations or the like) and when you reload a game, gambling is disabled for 60 seconds. Powergamers are gonna have to work for their bread. Edited October 17, 2010 by Pop Join me, and we shall make Production Beards a reality!
