Fallout 1 and 2 remain my favorite games along with Baldur's Gate saga.
Fallout 3 is very much different from 1 and 2. The writing...the atmosphere...the setting...the gameplay...I was extremely hyped up for Fallout 3 and got a new computer JUST for Fallout 3. To be honest, Fallout 3 is kinda of a disappointment for me...yeah...it's repetitive after awhile. Everything's practically the same to me and the quests seem to suck. In fallout 1 and 2, they had real towns and cities with their own cultures and ways of survival in a truly harsh land, making exploration so much more rewarding.
But New Vegas is made by the guys who made 1 and 2. My expectation level for New Vegas is sky high. However, I will read the reviews prior to purchasing the game. Let's see if it's good or fail.
As long as you are not a graphic whore (which you shouldn't if you liked Brood war...) and don't mind turn based combat, you will love Fallout 1 and 2.
I honestly spent so much time modding Fallout 3 haha...just like I am doing with Oblivion...

Pre-Load is now available on Steam.

I'll wait a few days after release to see if Obsidian ruined this just like they did KOTOR and NWN

KOTOR 2 was good, it just had a shit ending. The same people who made Fallout 1 and 2 are on this, so my hopes are high.

The 360 version of the game has been leaked along with most (all?) the preorder in-game bonuses.
Meanwhile, people buying through steam will not be able to play until Tuesday afternoon.

The thing that will make me buy this game are if the kids aren't god mode cheating meh I'll buy it either way cuz I'm weak.
|
What i am really looking forward to in this game is the hardcore mode. I couldn't stand oblivion without the food and drink mods because food would seem so useless. Who need 2 second damage resistance anyway?
I played morrowind and oblivion and their expansions and loved it. I played my friends fall out 3 for 2 weeks before giving it back and i did enjoy it , although i didnt have time to explore the wastelands, so i guess it will be a '' wtf am i supposed to do'' experience for me

KOTOR 2's ending was shit because they weren't finished yet. I think in some special edition video (I have no clue where it can be found to be honest) they showed the original ending and how they would have wanted the game to end but they didn't have enough time. Shame really.

Obsidian is working with the Gamebryo engine so we can only really expect awful animations and AI, like those found in Fallout 3.
That said, you don't have to do much to improve Fallout 3's writing, world building and storyline because it was pretty awful/generic most of the time. Since Obsidian working with fairly strong foundations and have a fairly strong track record when it comes to the non-actiony side of RPGs, this game should turn out fairly solid.
To be honest, they're better off doing projects like this instead of creating their own game. Very often their games collapse because they're just so obviously flawed whenever action and combat occurs; by doing projects like this, they only have to worry about the world building, writing, and storyline.

And since they got such a great foundation already for the story and writing, I can expect it to be top notch.

Fallout story and characters trump the gameplay ive always thought. Either way the game is coming out tomorrow! ill be getting my copy at midnight and gunna start off with playing it on hardcore mode. Im far too excited for this.
|
Really want to play this. Avellone on Fallout in any shape or form is win for me. Too bad Cain and Chris Taylor couldn't be in on it too. Something tells me the reviewers won't be as nice because it's Obsidian rather than Bethesda (who makes horrible horrible games imo).
|
Ahh some one leaked the opening cutscene already onto youtube. Definitely shows how much more style obsidian has than beth

I'm hoping for the best, but as several other people have mentioned, Obsidian's track record is too spotty to purchase New Vegas before reviews are in.
2010 has been a rough year for gaming (aside from, y'know, the release of StarCraft II). It's had one good RPG, which came out in January. I am starving for an RPG.
|
It feels like I've been waiting forever for this to come out. Already have it predownloaded on steam, but I kind of want to play it on my xbox :/ In either case, I really hope it's at least as good as FO3. Apparently there's 2 times the weapons there were in FO3, which is a huge plus as that was like my only gripe with the game.

I'll be massively disappointed if the writing in New Vegas is "as good as FO3"

Game comes out in a few hours on steam. Anyone knows the exact time and time zone?
They only had less than a year to develop this game, they started few months after the release of the final DLC for FO3.
Getting the game on PC of course, to play all the mods. DLC will be a few month later than 360.

huh? Obsidian worked on the game for over a year and a half.

So stoked! I reserved my copy (for 360) yesterday :D STOOOOOKED! I love FO3 and all it's glorious expansions. I'll likely be posting here tomorrow, after a full day of hardcore gaming, in what I hope will be absolute satisfaction! Enjoy to whomever it concerns!
On a sidenote, I've never played FO1 and 2 but have heard great things from friends and such. Anyone know where I could purchase or download a copy of each game? Happy gaming to all!

Someone here wrote of the travesty that was NWN2??/ the reason NWN2 failed was the lack of multiplayer support. The editor was powerful, but you couldn't have a server powerful enough to run a large world. even the campaign caused lag when a couple people were in it. not only was it difficult to use, it was impossible to make a great world with it. also the camera controls sucked, the graphics were meh, and the implementation of the new ruleset was stupid.
