Fallout New Vegas |OT| Obsidian does what Bethesdon't

Well, admittedly, it's impossible to make a definitive judgment until playing it for yourself. However, I noticed right away that building textures have considerably more detail (especially the log cabin) than the 360 version of FO3. I never played the PC/PS3 versions to draw a valid comparison.Geoff9920 said:
From the media released over the last year, I was apprehensive about the creaky engine holding up for New Vegas, but was pleasantly surprised by the stream.

to be fair a lot of retailers break street-dates around this time (friday before release)EviLore said:
Whether or not the stream is of a legit copy (which I'm genuinely hoping it is, because that'd mean the mom and pop store near where I live have copies in already too), took just about 15 minutes of it to convince me that I need this game.
The fact that I'm going to be getting it on 360 made me a little nervous, but FO3 was still a great experience on console, so.
This is the season of not enough hours in the day.

I'm playing through Eschalon: Book I right now, so, uhh, I won't be lamenting New Vegas having graphics similar to Fallout 3.

musta been post bg2 doe-eyed reviewer bias, or based of the toolset included. Nwn was so bad (in a boring way), jade empire hadn't come out yet I guess, to expose the emperors new clothes.

New radio guy is pretty cool, gun sounds still have a weird feel to them.
Strongly agree that the voice acting has improved, the faces too seem to be somewhat better.

i think people are talking about the different pre-order packs.The_Reckoning said:
Yeah, I'm thinking our streaming friend is wearing an eye-patch with a parrot on his shoulder. He just walked into an area where none of the textures popped in. Either Obsidian has missed a bone-crippling bug or else someone's playing a less-than-legit copy. :lol
Atmosphere is really impressive. Wish we had a Mom-and-Pop store nearby to wrangle an early copy from.

ah, that makes sense. Thank you.
"Caravan Pack (Steam and Wal-Mart) nets you the Lightweight Leather Armor, sturdy caravan shotgun, four repair kits, and binoculars."
Binoculars actually seem like the most useful pre-order item, so that works out. Although I am sure they are easy enough to acquire in game.
fuck retailer exclusive dlc though

I'm enjoying it plenty. The demo is representative of what to expect, and personally it sold me on it.
It doesn't bring anything new to the table or provide fantastic writing or amazing combat or anything like that, it just pushes the right buttons for the genre. Build your character how you want, go where you want, fight baddies, be good or evil without any horrible morality system getting in the way. All with no handholding.
There's only so many games like that in existence, especially with functional UIs. And I've played almost all of them already. So I appreciate Eschalon.

Agreed, though this is the least offensive of retailer exclusive DLC. At least everything can be obtained at some point in the game, so you only have a small, initial, and optional advantage.

Speaking of those pre-order packs, do we know if the items & equipment in the packs are exclusive and can't be found in-game? Or are the packs just giving you a head start with a few bonuses.water_wendi said:
I really want the "classic pack", but I'm using Amazon and I'd hate to resort to paying inflated prices on eBay because if devious Gamestop employees.

So when will we be able to pre-download this on steam, if at all?

Reluctant-Hero said:
I'm pretty sure they can all be found through the course of the game.
Regardless, I'm also pretty sure that any of those items could be unlocked in the console if they did somehow, and for some reason, make it completely exclusive.

(As an aside to what you were responding to) Bergman confirmed on a BethBlog podcast that DLC was happening (link):
Jason Bergman said:
Also today a news bit on The Escapist (link) mentions (less assuredly and probably more reflective of reality) that Obsidian "has a plan" for DLC and reiterated that there will not be any Broken Steel-esque ending revision.

I wonder how the F3 DLC did sales wise? I definitely had no problem buying that quality content.

Hmm. I wonder if I can order this cheap from India...
Yeah the difficulty of the hardcore mode features isn't a concern on PC, since that's trivial to mod. The more important issue (unless you're playing on some sort of vastly inferior platform) is whether the game world has been designed to properly take hardcore mode into account. It's been discussed a lot by the Obsidian guys, so I don't expect it to be an afterthought.

Has a leak ever caused a dev/pub to say fuck it and release it early on Steam? Or is this just fantasy?

I wasn't planning on buying the game at launch but if it were unlocked early on Steam, I'd probably order it immediately. That is some weird psychological shit.
