Fallout New Vegas

[BlumiereBleck]

Well i might rent it. But it will most likely be the same game

I hope it has a better storyline than purifying a lake

Fallout New Vaegas: The Expansion pack that walks like a sequel. Fuck new Vegas.

Yes because a new story, new characters, new weapons, new developers, a new map that
is then Fallout 3' with no relation to Fallout 3 what so ever is definitely an expansion.

Then why isn't it called Fallout 4?

Because a game doesn't need a number in it to be a sequel?

I actually like games that use innovative titles like this one instead of just taking a sequential number at the end to denote a sequel. It feels less like we can expect more of the same and more like this takes place in the Fallout universe but will be different enough from the rest of the series.

I think it will be amazing. But I don't know if it can achieve the same level of ecstasy I got when I first played Fallout 3.

And after logging 700+ hours on that game, I've sought so hard to recover that feeling, but I never will... I never will...

 

[The Bum]

My joy at the fact that it's coming out in less than a week simply cannot be expresed in text.

And it'll be way better than FO3 belive me, it will be way better.

You guys have convinced me, I think im going to go preorder it tomorrow!

Now, you make the claim that a game made in 1998 is BETTER than Fallout 3. I find it surprising you can even compare two games that were made a decade apart from each other. Probably the only reason you say F2 is better is because you played it as a child. You now feel nostalgic whenever you think about it, and as time goes on you idealize the game and make it seem better than the pixelated nightmare that it really is.

Have I done a sufficient job reminding you, or do you want me to dedicate my afternoon to pleasing you?

Making the assumption that a game must be bad because it is old? Clearly you are a genius whose logic is unquestionable.

PS: I played Fallout 1/2 after Fallout 3... and I still preferred them.

I can't wait for it. Fallout 3 is my favorite game so I'm pretty excited for Fallout: New Vegas. It seems like it is gonna be even better than Fallout 3.

why isn't GTA IV called GTA VI?
why isn't GTA:Vice city called GTA IV?
why isn't Resident evil 5 called Resident evil 7?(12? 13? I don't know, I've lost count)
and so on...

to apply some Yatzee terminology, Bethesda adopts Capcom's "because I say so" aka "resident Evil method"

 

[Blatherscythe]

honestly, no I dont think it will be as good. It will possibly be awesome, but not the pure orgasm FO3 was

Whoa.

You'll have to remind me, when was F3 an orgasm?

The game was good, but... F2 was better :/

Okay, I'm sick of fanboys crying about how "Bethesda fucked up Fallout". Let's see, combat, F1-2 had turn based combat and had "dice rolls" for hit or miss, sure you could try VATS but it was still the same dice rolling crap, the winner was usually the guy with the better gun. Fallout 3 had real time combat, could pause to let the player pick body parts to cripple enemies to great effect, being less rigid meant more strategies could be incorporated, stealth may not be great but it's there, unlike 1-2 where you generally were not given said option in combat.

Graphics, 3d vs 2d who wins? Gameplay, F3 is much more action packed and can keep your attention longer than F1 or 2, I'd rather have an easier FPS than an unforgiving, isometric, turn based shooter. Story wise is where a tie comes in. You may get more backstory and sub-plots in F1-2, but in the end all the stories are rather simple and straightforward. Not much in the way of plot characters either.

Take off your damn nostalgia glasses, the only reason people who loved F1-2 like F:NV better than F3 is because some Obsidian employees are from Black Isle. God damn does it feel good to get that off my chest.

 

[sanguinator]

it will be amazing! ive spent around 200 hours on fallout 3. by the way have you played oblivion? great game

 

[Icarion (aka Stockholm)]

The only way New Vegas could be worse than FO3 is if they didn't have RON PEARLMAN in it. Is he in it? Its absolutley vital that the world knows.

Agreed. It's one of those there is not a word in spoken language that can express kinda things.

 

[xTROGD0Rx]

Whoa guys chill out, you dont have to argue over which game in the series is the best and which ones are shit, lets just agree to disagree.

Your right. Im wrong, Stupid me. Fuck new vegas, you guys have fun.

 

[Yureina]

I pre-ordered New Vegas today, so its too late to have any regrets now. I think it will be fine though.

 

[ElectroJosh]

I am excited but I might just wait for some reviews and general reaction to the game from people before I make a decision to purchase it.

Loved at the 3 Fallout games so I'll probably end up getting in the end regardless.

 

[Irony's Acolyte]

So long as its as good as Fallout 3, I'll be happy. And it looks like it might even be better. So I'm pretty interested in it right now.

This just confuses me. Fallout 1/2's combat did revolve largely around stats, yes, but that doesn't mean tactics instantly flew out the window. The unforgiving difficulty meant that you had to think about your plan of attack, lest you be cut in half by Super Mutants.

Graphics, 3d vs 2d who wins?

Hmmm, let me think about this for a moment, I'm really having trouble deciding. Of course Fallout 3 looks better, it came out 10 years after the previous games. So what? It shouldn't be that hard to look past some out-dated graphics, and if it is then you really need to get your priorities straight.

Gameplay, F3 is much more action packed and can keep your attention longer than F1 or 2

Yes, I suppose it would be if you're a moron who can't pay attention to anything for more than 5 seconds if someone's head isn't exploding. One of the things people liked so much about the older games is that you could approach just about any given situation from multiple angles, instead of just resorting to murder every time.

Take off your damn nostalgia glasses, the only reason people who loved F1-2 like F:NV better than F3 is because some Obsidian employees are from Black Isle. God damn does it feel good to get that off my chest.

I take it you didn't notice that that the above person stated they played Fallout 2 after Fallout 3, and the same goes for me. People should really stop living under the assumption that just because something is old it's automatically bad.
