Fallout: New Vegas

Grayditch

Why would you not put this in the Fallout Vegas thread you already made?

I cant get BB were I live so I have to rely on dialup, I know that you need to connect to the internet and doenload stuff from steam before you can play it offline, so how big is the download? Also can you download it in parts or all at once?

If its a big file i'll have to go for console

Why can't you get the PC version on a disc?

The file will be far larger than you could hope to get on dial up and it will probably cost you several times the games cost in internet time.

Why do people find this an issue?

When i played F3 i wasn't even aware this was going to happen but you get an auto save every time you go through a door, so you have one just after you enter the chamber.....it doesn't even require a player save.

You simply turn around and walk back out. The only difference is that you don't go straight from the games end to roaming, you just reload and forget about the main quest indicator

Complete non-issue IMO

Well it's not totally a non-issue. It kind of breaks up the game. I like getting immersed in a game, and as pathetic as it makes me sound, I like to follow a quest to it's end as it happens. Standing beside the end point and then legging it off to the other side of the map to check out some side missions, really takes away from that immersion. It makes you know that your timeis running out and that the game will end soon.

It really should be no problem for them to just let you keep on playing afterwards. I really feel that in this case it's them wanting people to get the DLC so that they can play on.

Its called Karma, payback for the abomination that was GTA IV on PC.

I think you misunderstood me, I will get it on disc but I understand that you must connect to the internet and download additional stuff before it will allow you to play offline.

Yes, I know that now but after the rectal violation that was Games For Windows Live!!!1 from my retail Fallout3 (not GOTY), I went with shtaem.
Retail would've been fine too, but I have enough dvd cases as it is.
And Gabe Newell needs more Cheetos money.

Ah, sure the DVD case can go in the bin once it's been added to the Steam games list.
to me, €50 is way too high for a PC game. No matter what, I wouldnt let myself pay that much for a PC game. Not even for the convenience of having it in Steam. But hey, each to their own. Oh, and F:NV doesnt use GFWL at all, retail or not.

Threads merged. Absolutely no need for the extra two threads with minor questions on a game that already has a thread.

If you get it soon then the game won't have any or only small downloads, you'll then have to set it to not update and make sure it can run offline.

Oh Bethesda, why do you always do this to me? Don't think I'll be picking it up until it's on sale now. I've got a massive backlog to get through first and by the time I finally pick it up, it might be in a playable state.

You can be sure they mess up the DLC releases as well. Can't believe they managed to mess up 3 out of 3 of them in the exact same way.

Headshot

lol

that is so creepy

cursai

Anybody know whether this is more buggy on the xbox over than the ps3 or vice versa. No need to say the pc is better than both!

Grayditch

Reports are that the game is a bit wrecked on both platforms. Studies show, PS3 will still come out worse, probably.

Retr0gamer

PS3 version was a mess last time and the game is built for PC and 360 architecture so I'm sure the PS3 version will be the worst affected this time as well.

Asmodean

Wonder what the odds are for getting the ce without a preorder. Not great I'd imagine!

HMV are usually your best bet, especially on Grafton Street in Dublin. Don't think I've ever been unable to pick one up on launch there.

TheTosh

Anyone know how much the CE is?

Sarky

Hardcore mode f*ck yeah!

Pc for me, hoping a few interesting user mods come along.

Nice one i'll give it a shot on Friday.

CrazyFish

Anyone hear any prices for the regular edition to buy in a shop ?

VenomIreland

€40 for PC version in Gamestop.

I saw a sign up in HMV on Henry St. today, €44.99 with a free New California Republic t-shirt. I like HMVs trend of new release + freebie for a good price, I hope it continues.

lol, I picked the Wild Wilderness perk and it allowed me to find

the body of Indiana Jones in a fridge

. Apparently if you pick that perk it allows you to find loads of easter eggs like that.

Finally! We have Fallout style humour again!

In fairness i never had a single game freeze or weird thing happen until i tried to go onto the spaceship on PS3, game worked perfectly everytime other than that

Woden

Apologies if this has been discussed already.

Have pre ordered for pc and realised it is not a gfwl.

Can anyone confirm it still works with the pc version of the xbox controller?

Cheers,

Woden

*might* still work, it uses Steamworks and some of VALVe's games support the Xbox 360 controller, so I see no reason for it not to support it.
