With Dead Rising 2 this approach makes sense, because it's one of those games I will break out and play from time to time. Also, I'm not going to actually buy it until around the time I build the PC.
By the time I bite on a gaming PC this Christmas, though? I will be long through with Fallout NV. Sure, I will get any decent DLC, but it's not worth moving my laptop around the house and messing with cables and shit every time I want to play for the next 4-5 weeks.
I'm looking forward to buying my multiplats on PC next year, though. The difference in graphics is getting pretty huge, especially since I game on a 1080p projector on a 106" screen.
I always want to get the pc version of something but i never end up playing it. I buy a bunch of stuff on steam for cheap and i buy some retail games. I bought Fallout 3 on pc at launch. Turns out though i never play the damn things. I dont have the opportunity to re-route my pc to my living room tv, so these days i9 end up just getting games for the 360 or ps3. I actually finish those games. Just enjoy them more on that setup.

damn EviLore I thought my laptop was impressive until now :lol (admittedly I always knew desktops would have better specs but I need the portability as a college student)
here's my baby
Gateway P-7805u FX Running Windows 7 Ultimate
Intel Core 2 Duo T9900 (6M Cache, 3.06 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB) | 8GB Corsair DDR3 1333 (4GB x 2) | Nvidia GeForce 9800M GTS 1GB DDR-3 | 17" WUXGA 1920x1200 | 1x Seagate Momentus 500GB 7200 rpm & 1x Western Digital Scorpio Blue 640GB 5400 rpm
Medusa NX USB 5.1 Gaming Headset
Razer Orochi mouse
Wired 360 Controller (don't use it that much but for some games it's useful especially when I use the HDMI out to my 32" LCD 720p HDTV)
oh and I have a Western Digital My Passport 500GB external hard drive

It was shocking to me how bad the PS3 version of FO3 was. I didn't own it myself, but I did play somebody else's copy. It was pretty tragic. The 360 version was substantially better.
Maybe I need to go fish up some vanilla FO3 PC vs. 360 screenshots. There is a net $3 difference if I stick with my FO:NV 360 copy over buying it on Steam, so just maaaaybe....

I bought one of these to use with my m11x. I used it while I was off on vacation for a week, and when I came back to work, my Intellimouse Optical felt like I was using a cinder block. I ordered a Deathadder 3500dpi for work (and no, it's never been used for gaming! Honest! :lol ).
Razer stuff is a touch overpriced, but man, I have no complaints. I bought a Moray+ when it was an Amazon Gold Box deal a week ago, and they are pretty sweet gaming earphones/mic. Love the fact their stuff comes with nice cases too.

I especially love it since I can use it either wired with the cable it comes with or if that's not convenient just turn on the bluetooth so no dongle taking up a usb port
it was a bit expensive, but I got it with Christmas money for $70 and I feel like it was worth it for sure
dygiT said:
Not actually true, gg
I've played around 70-80% of them. The rest constitute my backlog along with games I have no interest in that I got as part of package deals.
Hint: steam has not always tracked time played, and plenty of purchases have been to make up for piracy committed as a poor youth.

I keep entering this thread in hopes that it's been unlocked early. That could still happen, right?

I weep knowing that right now I can only play games on my 360. Fried video card makes for a sad disappeared.
I envy your setup good sir.

First of all I got the console version using a special trade-in offer at Gamestop. Second, my Samsung TV (40" LCD) won't display my computers video output in full screen in any resolution other than 1366x768 over HDMI, and even that doesn't work sometimes. It's pretty weird but it means that any PC games I play on my TV won't have much higher resolution than the consoles, which would be one of the main advantages. So people saying "you can easily do the comfy couch thing with your PC" aren't always right, for me it's a huge hassle and doesn't even work properly :/

They didn't. Retail has been in reviewers hands for three days or so now.

There's no way they've had only three days to try it so far. I mean, really? Surely they've had review code for a few weeks.
You just can't review a game this big over a weekend. :lol

There was nothing tragic about the PS3 version of FO3. You're being over dramatic.Cheech said:
It both looked and ran fine.

Agree, completed FO3 and all the DLC's on PS3, had a few crashes in the DLC's but it was accepted that it was going to happen, other than that it played like a dream from my experience.

So basically reviewers aren't going to get through the whole game by release day and even if they do release their review they probably won't have played the end half of the game, which could be a big pile of steaming offings?
Hopefully won't be the case but they aren't really trying to instill much faith are they?

It's not even about whether or not the game is good(that's ultimately up to us to decide if we like it or not). It's a matter of giving a reviewer - whose job it is to review a game thoroughly - enough time to experience the world. Reviews mean nothing to me personally, but for those who want a competent review, it's weird to give out the game so late.

Yeah I see what you mean, to be honest even if every review gave it 5/10 I would still get it, FO3 was one of my favourite games this gen and I wouldn't miss out on this for the world.

Oh absolutely. Pretty much the moment they announced New Vegas I knew it was going to be something special.

I reckon IGN will slag it off, a lot of their reviews recently have been pretty negative (even about games which other reviewers have praised to hell and back, guessing just for press?)
As long as I can run into a town and start firing a mini-gun and causing mayhem I will be happy.
Played my review copy for a long stint last night and hit a pretty large bug. There's a story event thats unavoidable pretty quickly into the game that when the dialog came up, the game froze completely and I had to shut down. It was really late so I didn't try to load it up again, but hoping stuff like this gets patched pretty quickly.

Perhaps I spoke out of turn. But it's never clicked with me letting other people dictate whether or not I should play a game. Had I followed reviews, I never would have played Deadly Premonition on 360, for example. Brilliant game that was panned at nearly every corner. It's fine if you use them as a guideline, but not as the rule.

Are bobbleheads still present?
I saw there was a new collection item by looking at the trophy list but don't know if they are replacing them..
I personally look at a few videos before I buy a game, I know what I like and can normally tell just from some footage whether a game is going to click with me, reviews can be interesting reads of what gripes other people had with a game but they are never gospel.
