Fallout New Vegas (and general Fallout) discussion

[NeoCracker]

Johnny Guitar and Texas Red are both awesome. Though yeah, best song goes to Johnny.

Big Iron and Jingle Jangle Jingle are my favorites but I don't think I consider any NV track to be less than great.

When it comes to scavenging I always go with a weight to value ratio. If it weighs way more than the caps I'll get for it then I wont grab it.

Fallout 3 DLC was on sale so I nabbed up the rest of it that I didn't have - I had Point Lookout which was great, and of course Broken Steel. Just did Operation Anchorage. The reward was, as the internet loves to say, hilariously broken. The mission itself was interesting actually, I quite liked it. Now off to The Pitt. The scene setting they do is phenomenal and I love the background behind it.

smurf anyone that says New Vegas is glitchier than 3 though. I've had two console freezes already.

On PS3, New Vegas has to be rebooted every few hours or it will crash.

[Mirage]

yeah well you should take a 15 minute break for every hour played anyway, so who cares?!

I always just have to shake my head when people play games like this on consoles instead of the One True Platform.

I find that PS3 thing very hard to believe, certainly not to a universal level.

Never heard it mentioned before and I do keep up with internet discussion of the game. I know lis friends can sometimes be a bitch if it's been on for a while but that's rare.

I am entirely too tight with money to justify buying a new PC that would run it. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it.

I don't think a gameboy advance can run fallout.

I've watched a few people I know play start to finish on 360 and it happened quite a bit. This was closer to launch though.

The Pitt was by far my favorite of the DLC things. Have fun.

If I got hours of gameplay without needing to restart Fallout 3 it would have been a magical fairyland, tbqh.

All Bethesda games are terribly buggy though, let's be honest, and Obsidian never allocates enough time or money for it, so I'm surprised New Vegas didn't crash reality itself.

I only played Fallout 3 so far and I enjoyed it. Hearing Liam Neeson's voice was a nice treat and I enjoyed messing around in the town with the bomb. Never played it long enough to get much further than that. I always try to avoid killing the girl's father after finding out you don't have to kill him but he never gives me a choice in the matter...

I hear good things about New Vegas, just never got around to it like with a lot of games. Money is tight and I'm only able to get my hands on so many games at a time.

I find the plot, locales, and citizenry a bit more mysterious and/or interesting in New Vegas. Not so chlaustrophobic and lonely. Even though you can get companions in 3, I never really liked any of them. I really like a few of the NV companions. So the place doesn't feel as desolate. And it's more fun to wander around wide open desert wastes, than wandering between ruined building after ruined building. A friend got me NV as a gift during the summer steam sale. And I played the hell out of it for a couple months. Then just a week or so ago I decided to start modding it and have found much more love with it

Sorely tempted to get FO3 for PC while it's currently cheap. Waiting to see if it goes on a flash sale first, and then I'll grab it, and then mod the hell out of it..

FYI though, it doesn't take super powerful PCs to run these games, and there are tons of performance enhancers and anti-crash mods that help a lot. Though it's never going to be completely crash free. I frequently play Vegas for hours on end without a problem; and on top of that, while browsing mods, I constantly see people complain how Vegas isn't nearly as stable as FO3 eventually was (probably after particular mods). So they can become quite stable with the right tweaks

New Vegas was insanely buggy at launch on PS3, I know, I had it. Quite a few game breaking bugs, though it generally wouldn't crash until I played for around 3-6 hours. No where near that bad now though, I've played the Ultimate Edition without it having crashed once.
