Fallout (New Vegas)

    I like the suggestion (Via the Calfornia Republic flag the guy at the end's holding) of a plot tie-in to Fallout 2. Wonder if we're gonna get to visit the old locations from that game?

    gotta say that i'd be more impressed with this if it was isometric. i mean, fallout 3 was alright, but it is still nothing compared to its predecessors. i don't want another oblivion with guns...

    anyway, what's brian fargo up to these days?

    NCR turned into Wolfenstein?I'll skip this, and wait for V13. Mostly because I didn't like FO3 at all.

    Sorry but how many hours did you put in Fallout 3? It took me about 8 hours to fall in love with the game. Sure it's not a perfect game but I still had a great time with it. I honestly can't stand those idiots at nma-fallout saying shit like "this isn't fallout!!!!1". This is 2010, get over it ffs.

    Anyway, interesting analysis of the teaser:

    V13 seems a train wreck project from what I've seen to be honest.

    I look forward to this after having so much fun with FO3.

    I didn't get all the fallout 3 hate. I thought that depending on how you played it was short but I thoroughly enjoyed everything else about it. Even VATS was interesting. Looking forward to this.

    Hah! That's awesome that somebody actually remembered that

    Donno about this one, I had decent fun with Fallout 3 but it was a bit too rough for me to keep on playing after I finished it. Hopefully this will feel a bit tighter/more polished and not just be a mission pack, even though I get that vibe from what they're saying.

    After being disappointed by KOTOR2 and NWN2, I'm not holding my breath that this will be any good. I loved Fallout 3, and hope Obsidian can do this installment some justice.

    Maybe you had no comparision with Fo1 and Fo2?

    Are we going to get through this again?

    Bethesda bought the ip, it was obvious they would do something different with it. f1 and f2 might be good games, but just because f3 is not like the previous ones, it DOESN'T make it a bad game.

    Cope with the pain.

    Was FO3 supposed to be anything beyond a conceptual successor to FO1&2? Basically yeah, what HP said.

    you know, i was kinda feeling it with the hype before fallout 3 was released. but honestly, post-game? no, i'd rather have the old games. i'm not saying that fallout can't be turned into an fps game, i'm just saying that bethesda didn't do a great job at it. to me it really felt like they tried to fuse oblivion and fallout into one; and frankly, fallout is too vibrant a universe to fuse under such circumstances. if they corrected the things they did wrong with fallout 3, then there might yet be hope.

    also, on a more general note: can you stop telling people what to like and not like. it's almost as if it's a taboo to say anything negative about any game EVER on these forums. last time i checked, forums were made for discussion, not for fanatical devotion to the heathen gods of games.

    as for the link, it could be that vegas has been overrun or otherwise powered up robots (presumably from a vault). like the guy states, it could be that NCR has plans to invade what seems to be tech city. however, given what little time has passed, and how meager post apocalyptic work conditions must be in the nevada desert for humans, it doesn't seem likely to have been built by man. given that they may have been inspired by the storyline in fallout tactics, there's a malfunction in some central computational unit which makes all the robots go nuts.

    if that is the case, I CALLED IT.

    I finished the game, and did a lot of side quests. Not quite sure, but I think I have had a lot more than 8 hours. I simply didn't like the mechanics, art or their storyline as a sequel.

    Didn't like fallout 3, a lot of areas seemed very samey, it lacked atmosphere. it literally felt like levels were thrown together with no particular thought. The combat wasn't interesting either and came down to using vats to head-shot everything every time. It doesn't help it's and rpg, and I don't like a lot that is intrinsic to rpg's.

    What do you think they did wrong? The dialogue and characters killed it for me, besides the fact that the main story quests felt weak. I didn't feel like it mattered if I found my dad or not. But some of the side quests were a blast, and I thought it was very atmospheric , just wandering through the wastes was pretty fun.
