I might start a Wordpress thing for it tonight and I'll just post it to you and whoever else wants to participate. I used to do one for my Star Wars Galaxies character I made because I had interest in writing a SW novel. That flopped lol.
But I'll post it up laters with people as authors, whoever wants to.

I feel the same way. I've decided to keep my Amazon, PC version preorder in place.

Really hope they get over this exclusive DLC bullshit, it does nothing but irritate.

The game isn't exactly released yet, and the exclusive DLC is kind of the "latest" news regarding the game. I don't see why it shouldn't be discussed.

Blame Bethesda for deciding to ruffle half the userbase's features a day before launch. :lol
But yeah I'd love to hear more gameplay impressions as we do have a separate thread for the DLC news.
I was going to order this, then I didn't want to, now I want to again all in a matter of 4 hours. As much as I want to play through my backlog of games, THIS game is like crack to me. The dozen games sitting on my shelf looks so weak compared to NV. Of course this is the hype speaking and not my common sense.

People who are losing their minds over the DLC news, remember with Fallout 3 that first DLC was Operation: Anchorage :lol
Ok this is it, if thats how the PS3 version works then this is the last time ill ever buy a Bethesda/Obsidian game. The DLC bullshit and their ability to not be able to make a working PS3 port this late in this generation makes me wonder if they even care about their PS3 (and to a lesser extent their PC) fans.

Well, then people would be more pissed off. Dumb business decision, but smart on the part of the marketers who are probably being tasked with pushing the 360 version more than the others. Sure, they may lose, what, 100 sales right now with it, but it's not like this decision is going to affect it much overall.
Total dick decision by whomever signed the exclusivity contract though.

Well, there were 3 or 4 instances where enemies just froze and did nothing. One was sitting on a chair and did nothing while I sliced him to piece with a Machete. One was going to through dynamite at me and then froze all of a sudden. One came running at me and then just... started walking away for some reason.
Other than that, no problems at all!
Good to hear. I've been a little worried about game breaking bugs, but none of that will bother me. I'm at the point of no return, the order will be shipping soon, so it's not like I could cancel anyways.
It's a shame that this DLC bullshit is souring the launch of this game. Great timing, 2K.

There are perfectly good explanations for all those incidents. That last guy probably thought you were the dude that killed his dog, upon closer inspection he realized that wasn't the case and walked away. Don't blame the game guy. That raider was just trying to be the bigger man.

I love that some people are angry with Obsidian or Bethesda about the exclusive DLC, as if they're doing it to spite them - rather than that they've just been offered a lot of money by Microsoft.

Oddly enough my investigations online have revealed that it's branded with GFW at retail even though it's not Live connected. So there is a partnership of sorts there. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

Amazon order shipped at about 11AM eastern today, from a place about an hour away. Anybody ever had release day delivery get there early, or is it always day of release? It's 3:30 now and no other details in the tracking history, so I kind of doubt it'll get here today (gotta go to some sorting/processing facility before heading out for delivery I'd imagine). But I wonder if they ever screw that up and get it to people early (or late)?

Just to get this out of the way, I'll still be playing the game tomorrow on the PC when I get home from work, so I'm not in the "I've canceled my preorder" group. However, I don't understand your point at all. Did that offer of a lot of money also come at gunpoint? If not, I think consumers still have a right to be upset. I don't think anyone believes that Obsidian or Bethesda is screwing over non-360 owners because it's how they get their jollies. Understanding why they're doing this doesn't negate their right to be upset over it. A spokesperson for Obsidian/Bethesda coming out and saying "Hey, we know you, the consumers who buy our products and keep us afloat, are upset about this, but if it makes you feel any better it helps us out financially!" doesn't exactly make for good PR.whatevermort said:
