Damn you Fallout New Vegas - Page 6

That doesn't make it impossible Ness. After release Steam's no barrier, and the file can get leaked without the stuff Steam puts in to prevent pre-loaders from playing (which actually apparently is very hard to break).

Also there is a 360 and PS3 release too.

No, Im not gonna lie, a steam-only release makes it really hard to crack. Could this be the future of DRM?

Cuz, I mean steam is a lot less annoying than a lot of things DRM could be, y'know?

As it stands, unless I come into some good money sometime soon, I may wait a month on this one to see if it goes on a Black Friday special.

EDIT: Y'know, unless one of you has a GIANT PILE OF MONEY they don't mind sharing. Y'know. Pretty please?

But it's not Steam only, there are physical copies, including ones for consoles, and Steam verification is breakable. There are people already playing and posting spoilers of pirated, leaked, stolen and in some cases legally bought but delivered early/bought from shops that broke the street date copies and have been since Friday.

You are correct in that the actual download pre-load version from Steam is probably uncracked, I've heard pre-loads have been cracked, but it was so much effort that they only got it cracked like an hour or two before the game went live anyway so the team that did it basically said "fuck this".

Wait, wait. I've been ignoring this game because I figured it was going to be just like fallout 3. From what I've been reading it's apparently not?

I need more details. Different publisher? Different engine? I'm suddenly interested in this game, damnit.

Same engine, different developer.
Same publisher, I think? Bethesda's still publishing, yeah?

Obsidian's the dev for this game. Make of that what you will, but from what we've seen, they've done a pretty good job of improving Fallout 3.

Read through on Wiki to see what we're looking at.

Gonna stick with my "I'll wait for the Oblivion Mod" arguement, like before.

What is the "I'll wait for the Oblivion Mod" argument and is it something that will make me hurt you, Nikos? I don't want to hurt you but I will if you make me.

Magus · 10-18-2010, 12:02 PM

I think the "wait for the Oblivion mod" argument is that one should wait until somebody releases a mod that fixes all the wrong things with the game, which is apparently everything if they are talkin' about that Nehrim mod for Oblivion that came out recently.

Game looks cool but have to play Fallout 3 "first" (don't really but it will probably be cheaper faster). Waiting for the Game of the Year edition to get cheap before I buy. Also need my own PS3 or nice computer so I can put the time into it that is required (for example, GTA IV is easy to play on somebody else's but something as big as New Vegas would probably require me to have my own console/comp).
