Well yeah, you're a newcomer in the region and want to know why the fuck some stranger just shot you in the face for a package.
There's still a bunch of dialogue options showing that you know and remember things from before you got shot (like places you've traveled, knowledge about tech or weapons, or encounters with the BoS, etc), and even for stuff that you should know like the NCR or who shot you, it's never phrased as "Who are these guys?" or "I don't remember who shot me," but "Hey, what do you think about the NCR these days," or "Did you see anything about the guys who shot me," allowing NPCs to give you expository dialogue without them directly saying that you don't know any of it.
Nope, you know from the very start that you were delivering a Platinum Chip to the Strip where you'd hand it off to someone else. The stuff you discover is stuff that you were deliberately uninformed about.

Nope, that's all covered pretty early on.

You were asked to deliver a package and didn't inquire as to the details when it was taken because why would you. Once waking up you start to inquire about the person you were delivering the chip to and why someone would attempt to kill you in order to acquire it. Throughout the game via dialogue options you can define a history for your character so there is no amnesia.
And yes, the game only focuses on the package for the first third or so. Resolved very early on in the main quest.

Is the 4th part of Drew & Alexis' Extra Life stream available anywhere? It disappeared from the site right as I was about to watch it.
It wasn't on YT last I checked. Was that maybe the section where Drew's phone number was shown?

Ooooh thats actually a good point. It was probably purged then.

change the last number to 1000 for lower res, 3200 for higher res.
not sure why they took it down, doesn't appear to be out of sync or anything. I am sure they would just edit it if they wanted to hide something.
It was too hot for the Internet
As I said, the only reason I can think of is if that's the part where Drew "Johnny V'd" himself. But yeah, they could've blurred it out or something.
Mary stuffing Calzone in her face like a Syrian refugee who has been surviving on captured rain water and bugs for a week?
maybe they intend to edit it when they have time and put it back up. I don't remember seeing any phone thing, but I wasn't watching for it.
this is the full HD link http://v.giantbomb.com/2015/11/14/vf_extralife15_drewalexis_pt04_4000.mp4 the above ones are mobile, med, high
Not sure why it's still broken, this wasn't the part with Drew's phone number

Oh that sounds a lot better.
I'm such a idiot!
I found that one but since they started with NES I thought it was just the NES stream
Thanks for clearing that up
Wasn't that the one called "this stream will not be archived". I think it was on twitch and someone downloaded all that stuff before they wiped archives - so should be somewhere.
edit: hah, missed your link! good one.
Too slow, old man.

Just Cause 3 would be great if it had Mercenaries style building destruction but without that it feels so empty. Feels like a weird thing to not improve on at all.
Fallout New Vegas low intelligence builds are hilarious, I should do one some day

JC3 looks fun, but the backlog is way too big at the moment to even consider it. I'll just add it along with Fallout:NV/4 and Witcher 3 to the list of games I might consider one day if I eventually build a PC (and when the games get super cheap).

My view is that the Minutemen exist to give you a middle ground "walk around helping normal folk in the commonwealth" option. They're the least extreme faction.
Sold. Holy crap some of these hahahaha
The first one is some solid physics.

"Hey Rico. You're my hero."
Reminds me of people saluting you in MGSV. Only difference is that you can attach booster C4 to them here.
lol, perfect timing at the end.

Am I the only one who loves open world games' fake supercar designs? I think it's cool to see what elements they take from famous ones and what they come up with on their own.
Yeah, I've always loved that about the GTA games.

Was listening to this segment on a commute and I had to pull over until I stopped laughing. Beastcast is so good.
Hahaha thanks for that... I just sent it to my friends who worked on ROTR.

JC3 seems like to perfect game to play alongside Xenoblade X.
It is because I asked the same question in here some time last week
Credit goes to some guy on GB who posted the link in the comments for part 5 video.

I think the campaign in Black Ops 3 might be the most confusing campaign I've played since Escape Dead Island. I have no clue what I'm doing, why I'm doing it, what happened in the world, who I'm working for, who the fuck Khalil is and they just keep throwing acronym after acronym at me. And I'm not like screwing around that much or not paying attention or anything. But it's like "Oh no, since the strike of 25 the NRC and the 52i have built the D.E.A.D. system, thank god Raul Mendez and the SAR were there to protect the WOT" and everybody acts like all of this made perfect sense.
I have now accepted that I'm just gonna shoot all the robots, then people shout S.T.U.F.F. and then everything explodes and I keep shooting robots.
