Sooooo looking forward to this game. Fallout 3, if you haven't played it, I suggest you do.

Got it, it's alright.

If you loved FO3, you'll love this game just because it's the same thing.

No real evolution in gameplay for a sequel, but enough of a new story to still be awesome sauce.

 

If you have not played either game and are looking to start, choose the original fallout 3 first simply because it's less buggy.

So are you incinuating this game is more buggy than the first? that's weak. Or are you referring to the fallout 3 game of the year edition being buggy? Because goddamn, I had a very difficult time getting through the anchorage mission due to the extreme lag.

Just played new vegas for a few minutes. Had to use a patched d3d9.dll to stop it from crashing. For some reason it is very choppy. I had Fallout 3 on Ultra without issues. But New Vegas on medium remains choppy and looks worse than Fallout 3. Edited October 24, 2010 by JoWie

Managed to get it to work without the dll hack. Had to disable ffdshow for fallout and make a tweak in the nvidia profile editor. It now detects my graphics card properly and i can play at high, ultra lags every 30 seconds.

Well, I ended up going out and buying FNV brand new, and for the 360 of all things since they were sold out of ps3 copies. The game so far seems pretty identical to Fallout 3. One thing I was a little confused about is the staying in good terms with all the different factions. The first time I encountered the powder gangers they just started bustin caps unprovoked, so I guess that's that as far as relations go between me and them. Which is fine by me because I'm trying to be as "good" as I possibly can for the time being and I'm fairly certain doing anything Powder Gang related will only lead to negative karma.

 

One thing that seems somewhat useless to me is creating ammunition. I think I'm just going to stick with the lazy man's route and just collect real ammo and dispense of all my shell casings and whatnot.
