When I went to bed Steam said I had about one day til the unlock. When I woke up it said about three days. Why must steam toy with me like this?

I'm gonna grab a copy of New Vegas later this week and I'll use my imagination to play the game until my PS3 returns from being repaired sometime next week.

And I've already been playing for a few hours. It is far too early to have a real impression yet on everything. Though I did find an Indiana Jones hat in a refrigerator.

That is a good sign I think.

Never doubt the power of the fedora. It can be your greatest ally or your worst enemy.

Guys, I don't have that much money or a steady income but I want this game but I don't want to spend money on this game but I also don't want/expect anyone to just give it to me.

What I do want is for some of you guys in the next couple of days to post some spoiler free impressions of how you like it/if it's worth the money/how much better it is than 3/etc. Talk about gameplay, VA, and shit.

In this way I can make an educated guess as to whether it's worth it or not.

So... little buggy?

Marc v4.0 · 10-20-2010, 03:43 AM

No noteworthy bugs for me, yet. Really, after the midnight release I had heard so many reports, one after the other of the graphics being no better, the voice-actors all being really lame, running problems over the broken ground causing you to stutter around, Fable 2 load-times.

All of that just wasn't true...so...review-reader beware?

Best part about all of it, though, is everyone is still blaming it on Bethesda, because the developer obviously has nothing to do with any bugs that may occur.

ANYWAY

The voice acting is much better, a lot of variation because they literally got 3-4 times as many total voice actors as Beth had regular and special voice actors in FO3. That wonderful green glow saturation on everything in FO3 isn't present at all, with different times of day having colors more varied then "light gray-green to dark gray-green". The aiming is far improved, so you don't always have to use VATS if you want to hit the target with anything other then a shotgun. The combat can be a bit of a challenge from time to time, things don't seem to be scaling with you so much as some stuff is always scaled ahead of you. There is a more classic return to the type of story and humor from the first two games in the Fallout series with a lot of the really goofy stuff, like the joke encounters from FO2, being made optional by the existence of a free Trait you can pick up at character creation. (Protip: The Fedora in a bombed out Fridge is one of those, and I've heard rumors of the return of the Holy Hand Grenade). The textures look vastly superior in most cases, and there are lots of bright colors and rustic views. Stats and Skills play much bigger roles, I've had a ton of skill checks in conversations, which display how much of the skill you need to actually pass the check.

Oh, and the Cowboy music is just great.
