Fallout: New Vegas

[CoinReturn]

I couldn't resist waiting for the patch, so I cautiously started a new game and have made it to level 12 with no problems so far. I gutted the Silver Rush of it's occupants and stole every energy weapon I could carry, that "strong back" perk really came in handy. ---------- Post added at 12:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 AM ---------- BETHESDA SOFTWORKS REVEALS DETAILS FOR FIRST FALLOUT®: NEW VEGAS™ DOWNLOADABLE CONTENT ‘Dead Money’ Available December 21st Exclusively on Xbox LIVE November 17, 2010 (London, UK) – Bethesda Softworks®, a ZeniMax® Media company, today announced that Dead Money, the first downloadable content for Fallout®: New Vegas™, will be available exclusively on Xbox LIVE® for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft beginning December 21st, 2010. “We’re pleased to give fans a chance to expand their experience in Fallout: New Vegas this December with Dead Money,” said Pete Hines, VP of PR and Marketing for Bethesda Softworks. “The release of Dead Money illustrates our commitment to creating entertaining add-on content for players to enjoy in already massive games like Fallout: New Vegas.” As the victim of a raw deal you must work alongside three other captured wastelanders to recover the legendary treasure of the Sierra Madre Casino. In Dead Money, your life hangs in the balance as you face new terrain, foes, and choices. It is up to you how you play your cards in the quest to survive. Fallout: New Vegas, the follow-up to Fallout 3 – the 2008 Game of the Year – brings this beloved franchise to a location only Fallout could do justice: Vegas. Fallout: New Vegas takes all the action, humour and post-apocalyptic grime and grit of this legendary series, and raises the stakes. Reviews of Fallout: New Vegas have called the game as “an utterly essential purchase” (MSN UK) and as “addictively, rambunctiously fun” (Entertainment Weekly). The Associated Press awarded it a 4 out of 4 stars and said “Bottom Line: It’s a Blast”, while GameSpy gave it 4.5 out of 5 stars and called Fallout: New Vegas “one of the best games of the year.” Published by Bethesda Softworks and developed at Obsidian Entertainment, Dead Money will be available for 800 Microsoft points.

I do not see any Fable 3 threads, so I am going to add it to this. Fable 3 is more glitchy than this game. I rented it from Gamefly and I am glad that to have purchased Fallout: NV over Fable 3. Fable 1 & 2 are better. Problems with Fable 3 1. Unresponsive controls- ex. standing next to a treasure chest and it will not open, until after I button mashed for almost 30 seconds. 2. Characters not following all the time. I spent around an hour trying to get this guy to follow me, so the quest would end. Pissed me off. 3. They screwed up the inventory system. Too simplified. 4. Like/Dislike options for talking to people are now random. ex. belching, hugging, kissing,etc. 5. Upkeep on personal residental property purchased. Pain in the ass. Bad enough I have to do it in real-life, but a game? 6. slow downs 7. John Cleese's character, Jasper, who constantly reminds you to purchase new DLC for the game. Yeah, right, assholes. 7/10 score

AARRRGGGGHHHHHHHH FFS, I'm about 10+ hours into this bloody thing and now the game crashes when I try to start it. Fuckin hell. If I load a save game or try a new start, the game will turn blocky upon loading and crash and I can't seem to get it going again. Anybody else had this issue? Unbelievable. ---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:13 AM ---------- Wow. This game has fucked up my PC.

There have been issues with loading save games, but if the game is blocky and you're having PC issues even after you exit the game, your GPU might be dead/dying.

[shootemindehead]

I think it's the Graphics card. I might have blown something when I had to constantly restart the game. There wasn't a hint of a problem before. Trying to backup important stuff now in Safe Mode, before I try an OS install. What a pain in the arse.

okay. WHAT THE FUCK. because i had the audacity to enter vault 11 before the strip mr house is now dead and so is victor and every robot is forever hostile to me. fucking glorious. I will be at my game store asking for a refund tomorrow morning because this is extremely fucking not okay. You do not ship a game when, according to the sites ive read having to look up what was wrong, there are 100's of possible game breaking glitches. Thats absolutely obscene. More so is the fact that so many people are okay with it thinking "oh well, they will patch it". sorry but thats not good enough. it shouldn't have been sold WITH this problems to begin with. When the hell did our standards become so bloody low that we are willing to put up with the shit on the hopes that it might get fixed later? We are just as much at fault for this kind of shit as the developer. -insert umad?.jpg here. and yes. yes i am bloody mad.

Fallout 3 and Oblivion were just as glitchy at release as new vegas currently is. Shit, I'd be disappointed if a fallout or oblivion game using the current engine wasn't released without glitches..it has simply become part pf the game.

[shootemindehead]

I never had a days problem with either F3 or Oblivion. But New Vegas is as dodgy as hell. That and it fried my fecking graphics card...GRRRRRRRRR.
