GameFly cleared. PS3 version added.


Now I wait.

NWN2 Mark of the Betrayer!

NOOOOOOOOO!!

*leaps in front of broken game*

I just saved your sanity, man. You owe me.

 

[Drewsky]

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.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I wasn't even looking forward to the game until 15 minutes ago when I started looking at this thread.

 

[Mad_Ban]

I put down a deposit for the PS3 LE today...

I am a dirty-little-consumerist whore.

 

[water_wendi]

Cant wait to read the reviews. Going to be lots of hilarity.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

lol the pirates are scrambling right now

time for me to stay out of new vegas threads

Seriously. That's my biggest beef with pirates, frankly. They get a hold of the game before paying customers and fucking post spoilers everywhere. I mean, get your eye patch and parrot on, but shut the hell up about what happens in mission 3 until everybody has a chance to play. Assholes.

just started watciing the stream, and I see a bad glitch (NPC head stuck in ceiling)

Bugs?

If it ain't gamebreaking, it's a bonus. Example: Cougar man in Red Dead Redemption.

Edit: Seems like 3rd person camera may be better.

I liked donkey woman and gunslinger dog.

 

[sdornan]

Yup it's an Obsidian game.

Kind of like me. I didn't knew if I should pick it up digital or box and on launch or later. Saw some videos this morning, preordered on steam.

Heck, after seeing the stream i'll gladly buy it again if it unlocked rigth now. I got time to waste and I'm home alone! Thankfully Alpha protocol will finish downloading soon.

 

[EatChildren]

Wrong. That is Casino Head, end boss of New Vegas. Way to spoil.

Yeah, I love glitches like that. Wait... Cougar Man?!

I'm convinced that wasn't an accident.

Come on Tuesday!

Anyone know if STEAM (or Obsidian) is planning a pre-load on STEAM? I don't remember FO3 having one.

 

[Danne-Danger]

Yup it's an Obsidian game.

Now steal a stick of dynamite into his pants.

 

[CAW]

Yup it's an Obsidian game.

The trampoline is out of frame is all.

 

[Lakitu]

Wait -- the game is officially 'in stock' on Play.com?

 

[Cheech]

As far as I can tell, the best deal for this game:

If PC, it's Best Buy. You get 500 RZ points for preordering, which is a $10 GC. You also get free coasters.

On console, Amazon. You get a $10 gaming GC, and don't have to wait a month+ like at Best Buy.

The digital packs all looked roughly equivalent to me. Did I miss anything? I have a preorder in at Amazon for the 360 version, but am giving serious thought to hitting it up on PC instead.

 

[EatChildren]

Is this a Steamworks game?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Yup it's an Obsidian game.

I think you meant to say, "Yup, it's a Gamebryo engine game."

 

[thorin]

I think you meant to say, "Yup, it's a Gamebryo engine game."

Yeah, I've seen that happen in Fallout 3.

 

[Cheech]

Is this a Steamworks game?

Yep. Steam is required to install retail copies.

 

[Shinjitsu]

Yeah, I've seen that happen in Fallout 3.

And Oblivion.

[Carm]

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.

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.

The wiki says the binoculars can be purchased in game. From reading the bethesda forums the canteen in the Gamestop preorder is the only canteen in the game that isn't attached to some armors. Not sure on the other stuff.

If hardcore mode is going to work, they're going to have to give fractional weight to ammunition, or not have enemies be bullet sponges like they have always been in Fallout. You're one dude who takes out 25-40 odd bad guys in every mission - if it takes 2-5 shots per bad guy, it would be tres easy to run out of bullets. That's what is called the opposite of fun.

put it on hardcore mode... but mod out the weight for ammo.... FIXED
because weight for ammo is stupid

Please tell me that bug is still in the PS3 version. I want to pick this game up eventually and I don't want to miss out on cool stuff like that.

 

[EatChildren]

Yep. Steam is required to install retail copies.

Thank you.

 

[water_wendi]

im surprised that Wayne Newton has so many lines. i knew he would be a DJ but i thought like a minor one and not the Three Dog of New Vegas.

You just arent hardcore.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

You just arent hardcore.

Nah, man...Ammo doesn't weigh anything.

 

[Stallion Free]

It happened *today*, actually, with Arcania.

I thought that's because Gamestop put it out on shelves, similar to the Demigod "accidental" early release.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

Nah, man...Ammo doesn't weigh anything.

you mean in real life? if so youre wrong. bullets are pretty heavy in quantity

 

[Verano]

Nah, man...Ammo doesn't weigh anything.

I nominate you for a Darwin Award.

The song selection for the radio is really awesome.

The swearing in this game is out of control.:lol

How many songs?

Glad I put my refund request in when I did, would have been out $50 bones. Though I've been hearing from some folks that it is not as bad as the press has made it seem.

Its a EuroRPG. Of course its not as bad as the press made it seem.

 

[Stampy]

Hard to say at this point, but it seems more than in F3.

This is Euro press we're talking about here.

Well now I'm confused!

Once again, sarcasm on the internet fails me.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

Well now I'm confused!

There was some huge preview done by a German press site that had awful things to say about it.

Anyway, holy fuck I'm so ready for another Fallout game. And original devs? Count me in guys. I really hope there are some awesome Easter egg areas in the game such as

Spoiler

Andale, the cannibal town

. Wouldn't mind another mission similar to Point Lookout

Spoiler

swamp cult, steal book. So Lovecraftian I couldn't get enough

My point was that Obsidian creates inferior sequels/spinoffs. How hard is it to create a good KOTOR when Bioware has already laid down the groundwork for a successful game for them? Same goes for Icewind Dale and to a lesser extent Torment.
