You know a game is about the experience not the graphics but I can't take IGN's journalism serious when they give this game a 9 for graphics in their review. Fallout 3 was an ugly game in 2008 and this looks even worse in 2010. Low res textures, stiff animations, glitches. It's all still there and I wish they would just review it appropriately.

Its been so long that I don't remember how I usually distribute my SPECIAL stats for my small gun toting, lock picking, repairman.
I think it was
S 4
P 6
E 4
C 1
I 7
A 8
L 6
Are there items like the bobbleheads in Fallout 3 that increase SPECIAL stats?

The UK review is a much better read.
A postscript to my story: The code was in the box, not that it matters because MY FUCKING 360 BROKE.
I still have my old Pro around, but it can't hook up with the internet so I a.)can't use the content anyways and b.)won't be able to recover my gamertag thus will lose all my save data stuff anyways.
So do I a.)play the game now knowing that these saves/playthrough will go away forever or b.)wait until Microsoft returns my broken console.

PC Steam version: after about 4 hours of straight play this afternoon my game locked up and I had to close it out using the task manager. Upon re-starting, my QUICK and AUTO save somehow reverted back to my level 1 character (was currently level 4) even though I had just exited a building where it should have AUTO saved. Luckly for me though, an actual SAVE I had made (saving from the menu) was still there and wasn't too far back. Also some of my setting changes had also reset, like hud color and music volume.
So just an FYI if you're only using AUTO and QUICK save, you might want to make an actual SAVE now and then too.

Yeah, but they stll gave it an 8 for graphics which is just silly. New Vegas has 5/10 graphics. If you give it 8 what kind of game would score less?MrMephistoX said:
The graphics are pretty bad for a 2010 game. Now we all knew it wouldn't be much to look at but reviewers shouldn't take their readers for idiots.

Maybe they're taking scope into account. How's the draw distance? I spent most of my time designing my character and didnt get a chance to actually play.

There is a known problem that Valve is looking into about cloud saves messing up. It was recommended to change to offline mode until this is fixed.CAW said:

So.. it really just threw me into a game of caravan without explaining the rules. What the hell cards am I supposed to pick for my deck?
Edit: nvm I see there's a help section in the pause menu.

How do I change the resolution? Its displaying in widescreen mode, and I want it to play in full screen.
I'm on PC, I cant find how to change this in settings...

By the way, the framerate stutters I mentioned earlier (which happened only when turning sharply) were resolved by turning the water multisampling to Low. Everything else is on Ultra.
I know someone mentioned this earlier in the thread, I just thought it might be useful for someone else.

Liking it so far. It's pretty much exactly like FO3 in every way, but it's a lot of fun. Graphics are hideous. I remember being impressed with FO3 first coming out of the vault and seeing the world, but it just doesn't look good 2 years later.
Minor complaints aside I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun with this game.

Gamebryo, you can never have too many bugs.Technosteve said:
Oh god, all this talk about freezings, glitches and corrupted saves is seriously making me want to switch my pre-order for Fable III or Black Ops. Is it really that bad? I played Fallout 3 for around 300 hours, and only noticed very minor glitches. For people who played Fallout 3, are the glitches, bugs more obvious/widespread in New Vegas?
Initial Observations after a few hours of play:
- The music and sound are vastly superior to Fallout 3, especially voice acting and the ambient music. Has a real RDR vibe to it. Makes walking around the Wasteland much more appealing.
- No ugly green filter, yayyyyy!!
- Writing is stronger off the bat and I like the way the game starts with you in the town. Plus, the town (Goodsprings) feels more authentic than anything in FO3.
- Framerate is atrocious at times. And I am using the current Nvidia drivers. They need to get this shit fixed straight. Seems centered around number of active people on screen.
- I saw the issue with Steam Cloud and saving, but have been playing in Offline mode. Other than needing to do the Mouse Acceleration fix, everything is running without a hitch (framerate excluded).
- Game feels tougher than FO3 and the iron sights is a nice touch. I prefer it over VATS right now for dinky enemies.
- Weapon Repair Kits! Thank Jesus!
- The crafting overall looks deep but cumbersome. Essentially all recipe based, with a LOT of recipes and ingredients. Just about everything can be used, it seems.
So, overall, I give it a qualified thumbs up with the thought that a patch for the framerate will be coming soon.

Man, the collector's edition is classy as hell. The poker chips are really good quality, and have a nice weight to them. The book is nicely bound and the illustrations are awesome. Even the box...I loved the lunchbox that Fallout 3 CE came in, but this one's cool too, textured to look worn and really sturdy.
As for the game, it's more Fallout 3 essentially, and that's not a bad thing in my book. I haven't encountered any glitches or bugs that people have been talking about, though I'm only about 2 hours in. It's as daunting as it was last time around to simply get started with so much to do and so many places to go.
also, whatever actress voices Sunny Smiles has a really cute voice, anyone know who it is?

I'd rather play a good game that freezes up every now and then than Fable 3.
It's funny: Fable was crushed by Morrowind. Fable 2 was crushed by Fallout 3, and now Fable 3 is crushed by Fallout NV.
(this 'crushing' is only in terms of actual CHOICE meaning something in a video game. i think it's funny how molyneux would always talk such a big game, but the stuff he talked about was done 10x better in the Bethesda games that came out around the same time. yes i realize NV isn't fully bethesda, but it still works)

i don't play many obsidian games (that i'm aware of). what are the chances of them getting patches out for all these bugs compared to the non-existent support from bethesda in F3?

Still no problems..Okay strike that I just hit my first freeze. I was leaving some NCR camp(the one way to the southwest with the two giant statues)
I'm on the 360 and not connected to XBL. Had to reset the console but I was able to reload my autosave just fine. Course I'm still saving every 10 to 15 minutes..even though now I gotta worry about the possibility of corrupt saves..ughghghgh
Other than that it's been playable. I made a new friend as well. She's a
and a bit of a knobhead but like me she enjoys punches things so she's sticking around.

I fucking love that I found a dude who has a repair skill of 100 within like 2 hours. Shit be so worth it. Oh yeah and he doesn't move around like an asshole merchant.

Just started.
Damn the opening movie put me in the mood for some epic gameplay. I just love how it sets everything up. I think I'm going to like this a lot more than FO3 (which I did enjoy a lot). I just have a feeling like Alpha Protocol I'm going to have to love it despite Obsidian's infamous inability to beta test correctly.
I don't have my modem plugged into the 360, I just wanted to know if any patches have appeared yet?

The meters go from 0 (sated) to 1,000 (Dead via starvation/dehydration/exhaustion), and they can't be lowered below 0. You want to keep the rating as close to 0 as you can (I think there are some plateau points where it applies penalties which are marked on the meters, don't have the game up to check). Keep in mind that an item granting minus to these ratings is good, and a plus is bad (it's a measure of how badly you need that necessity). Some items are surprisingly useful, like the Coyote Chewing Tobacco, which oddly lowers your need to sleep with no side effects. Some items lower one rating while raising another, like Jalapenos (lowering food while raising water) and the cola types (lowering sleep while raising water), so keep that in mind when you're dealing with them.
