A game with a 15-20 hour main storyline and more than 50 hours of side quests is being judged by the first 10 minutes of gameplay. That's rich. What if the first 10 minutes are a good indication of 70 hours of shitty gameplay? You expect someone to play through all of a game just to make sure every minute is bad? I haven't tried the game and have no opinion, but just sayin' Actually, you're spot on. That noob doesn't understand basic hyperbole. ~30 mins (you reach Megatron city) is enough to understand what Fo3 is about and how it plays. I'm no scientist, but the time in Vault 101 was hardly indicative of how the rest of the game played out.
I don't know what this has got to do with being a scientist, but I agree fully. The next 2 hours after that drew me in and had me so hooked.

Copy this to FalloutPrefs.ini (in your My Games/FalloutNV folder) under controls
fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0 fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0 fForegroundMouseBase=0 fForegroundMouseMult=0
Worked like a charm for me. ah yeah forgot!. this only worked for me when i did it in the fallout_default.ini (something like that) in my fallout folder tho so give that a try if it doesnt work if u do it in the my games ini
The stuttering is gone now with update 2 and the mouse is actually usable too thanks to the trick above!

You're definition of running around is another persons enjoyable exploration of a large world.

You obviously haven't gotten Boone as a companion because he is kick ass.

If you think Vault 101 is indicative of what F3 has to offer - I feel bad for your affliction otherwise known as retardation.

I think my Gobi Campaign Sniper Rifle is cursed, it randomly headshots people that give me attitude. I swear I can't control it.
|
I haven't even found a sniper yet >< And I'm lvl 14

What? You haven't at least found a Cowboy Repeater?

Guys I'm at the part where I have to help some scientists out at HELIOS one and i've played this game for over 20 hours now. How much % of the game do you think I'm finished?
|
It's impossible to say because it's completely non-linear. I've played for 22 hours and have completed a lot of the big quests, but I know I've missed heaps as well, and would be surprised if I'd done more than 1/2 the game.

haha dam this is one of those games with choices where i can't please everyone lol oh well i guess my 2nd play though i'll be an evil bastard.

I have a question, for anyone who did the NCR side. I'm doing it now, and the lady said that I could now buy shit from the NCR Armory in Hoover Dam. But I definitely looked around for like 30 minutes and I can't find a *bleep*ing armory anywhere and I want to buy some guns and armor. Where do I go?
EDIT: AndyJay, you haven't even completed a third of it. Take a gander at your map, if you strictly follow the main questline you probably cover less than a fourth of the entire map. And most of the land you cover is just you passing through. The entire "main quest" takes place in Freeside/Strip, Hoover Dam, Novac, and small areas around it.

Game freezes for me whenever I go to the Vegas Strip =/

My game is randomly crashing to desktop every now and then. Is there a fix for this yet?
ATI HD4670 or something like that video card, and the game runs perfectly fine aside from the no-warning CTDs.

Naw it's just a really badly coded game, they are using the oblivion engine i believe which was pretty for this time is now just passable, along with it never being known for being very stable, this particular iteration seems very buggy.

I was having some choppiness and random crashes so I ended up trying several fixes I saw here: http://segmentnext.com/2010/10/19/fallout-new-vegas-errors-crashes-freezes-fixes/
Specifically I tried: change iFPSClamp=0 to iFPSClamp=60, manually place d3d9.dll, put bUseThreadedAI=1 and iNumHWThreads=2 into fallout.ini, and update graphics card drivers.
No choppiness anymore, and haven't gotten a crash since.
Having mixed feelings about the game. I've been to both Vegas and Hoover Dam IRL, though I can't relate to them as much as I could the greater Washington D.C. area, where I grew up. Still, I don't get much out of the atmospheric wandering around that happens when you walk on foot exploring the desert. I really would like to be able to at least ride a mountain bike or something (makes me miss my horses from Oblivion). On the other hand, the difficulty of combat has made the possibility of being jumped while on a stroll a lot more thrilling.
Some of the "theft" mechanics are dumb, though. Sometimes I can sleep in the beds of the fallen but be morally condemned for eating their dog meat.
I'm not terribly far, but so far I'm satisfied with the dialogue writing and the steps they took to portray immersion. I found it funny that I could heal my robot companion with Stimpacks. Shit, just give every damn Terran unit stim now why don't you.
