Amazon (Temporarily) Unveils GotY New Vegas

Just pretend GOTY means "Game is Old This Year" if it bothers you so much. Old in this case meaning matured. Seriously, at this point GOTY is just used because "We're selling this game with all DLC at a lower price, so screw you, people who bought the game when it came out and are responsible for its success" was too long to fit in the box. WSTGWADLCAALPSSYPWBTGWICOAARFIS edition, if you will.
As for me, this is good news. I passed on NV when it came out on account of the bugs and sucking at F3, but I might pick this up when it comes out.

I'm not buying the Game of the Year edition (or any edition of New Vegas really, for now at least) because I found it silly that I was going to be charged for expansions the new edition got for free when Fallout 3 got the GotY treatment. And I suspect that Bethesda hasn't learned its lesson.
If anyone else was irked by this, I suggest that you try voting with your feet, like I am.

wait... one step back... fallout3 had like 5 DLC packs... it'd make sense when we have fallout3 GOTY, but Vegas GOTY? it had like what? 1 DLC? and the game were buggy! even today? why?
I think this is my biggest problem with the "End of the Year" edition of F:NV. What content is there to include? I'm gonna pass of the bugs/good game arguments because they don't interest me. I look for GOTY editions to get the original game plus all the DLC at a reduced price. I'm playing a copy of F3:GOTY right now I got for $12.75(*) new. Whatever you thought of F3, it met my requirements: original game plus five DLC. Look for it on sale and you have a real bargain if you have to patience to wait to play a game until later. My game budget dictates I have patience. I can't wait to buy Portal 2 at Steam's Christmas sale this year. But F:NV:GOTY just makes no sense: original game plus one DLC plus maybe some more DLC that no one has seen yet? Maybe the Amazon listing was for internal purposes? It just seems a little early to toot the GOTY horn for a game that hasn't finished it's apparent initial run.punipunipyo said:
(*) Really, $12.75. At Target. Turns out, when you mail order a PC game off of the Target web site and then return it to a store unopened they will give you a full refund. However, it appears that Target doesn't really want PC games on it's shelves unless they bring them in themselves. They do generally have a small PC games selection. The game was labelled "Internet Return" and was marked down 75%. Visit their games section and look for the red tags!
Like I said, I bought F3GOTY, but TOTALLY dismissed FV, and don't think GOTY is worth it!tcurt said:
