It will freeze every 15 minutes while sound continues if you have a multicore processor, but I guess some people haven't had this problem.

Just played through the game with an i7 and didn't have that problem and neither have any of my mates had anything like that (there are few multicore ini tweaks that supposedly help with various issues), but there's fair amount of crashing here and there, mostly due to the autosaves like in other Beth games (it'll create an autosave, but crash immediately afterwards). Completely playable though and even though it's not as good as New Vegas I can definitely recommend it.

 

[Crayons]

Keep in mind that it is an early access game, and that once it gets out of it it will go full price (I think it will be $40).

So this may be the cheapest it will be for a while.

Goddamn it.
Why didn't they just put it at 50% or 60% off.

Just have to disable GFWL, which is easily done.

this is a thing? amazing

 

[RS4-]

How is Vikings? Im on the edge, need the last push,

Don't buy it.

 

[Kinky John]

Imagine the sales if it had cards.

Yeah. Looks like they might come at some point in the future though.

 

[SparkTR]

Yeah when you think about it, the game has lots of fuzz, but then again It was available for 360 for a long time, maybe thats why.

It was a slow seller on XBLA as well, as it sold something like 100,000 copies in it's launch month. That's with the high praise reviews and marketing push, which never happened for the Steam version. I think its complexity keeps it at a niche.

fallout 3 goty and fallout nv Ultimate acquired! after crap ton of trading!

 

[Milamber]

Just PrintScreen the NPC's and Objects and call it a day.

Yup. Phil Fish may be a douche, but I bought it on XBLA the day it came out and the game was amazing. Suggest anyone who is into puzzlers to pick up.

 

[fantomena]

Don't buy it.

Thanks. You just saved me about 3€.

Gunpoint

It's an awesome indie mix of retro Mark of the Ninja, Watchdog'a hacking, and witty humor and a level editor.

Support indies. Vote for Gunpoint

40% is too tepid. Only one above 50% off is Torchlight II, which this time actually hit the 75% threshold.

 

[GravityMan]

Voted Gunpoint, that's one of the few games I had my eye on during this sale.

Remember Me at $30? I'll pass. Want that game to drop to $19.99 or lower before I bite.

I just don't get this. I have cycled through 3 computers in the last few years, and all of them had this un fixable freezing problem. Why am i cursed?

 

[I H8 Memes]

So I got the Metro rejection letter yesterday from Best Buy but those fuckers still havent refunded me my money. This shit will not stand man.

 

[Pestilence11]

Do you need to play Fallout 3 to 'get' NV? Would I be missing a lot I guess is the better question. I have NV on PS3 but the jaggies are atrocious.

 

[HadesGigas]

On XBLA Fez sold 200k in one year, and in Steam Sales it sold 105k in 48 hours....

ok, so our first steam summer sale is over and it was BANANERS

we sold more copies in the first 24 hours of the sale than we had on steam in the first 3 months since release!

and over the course of the full 48 hours, we sold more than we had in our first month on XBLA. it's been fuckin' NUTSO.

thank you cheap people everywhere!

we sold 105k units in 48 hours.

so, about that boycott...

You can do that?

As long as it was built after 2000-1, it should be able to run it peice of cake.

[Horse Detective]

Do you need to play Fallout 3 to 'get' NV? Would I be missing a lot I guess is the better question.

For the gameplay I would say yes, but the stories have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

 

[DukeBobby]

Remember Me at $30? I'll pass. Want that game to drop to $19.99 or lower before I bite.

Good decision. It's a decent game, but unless you really want it, I'd wait.

Definitely buy it at some point, though.

 

[RionaaM]

Hello every one here at NeoGAF and reading this Steam thread,

If I do a giveaway like I did yesterday, is there people willing to do exchange with me after in return?

Thanks in advance!

Haha, you got tagged from last night's post.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Do you need to play Fallout 3 to 'get' NV? Would I be missing a lot I guess is the better question.

Not really. The storylines are completely separate.

 

[RionaaM]

Working on this: anyone interested?

Adding emoticons for everyone that has Enhanced Steam, even if they don't have them? Just like you did with the profile backgrounds? Amazing stuff, thanks. This is one damn fine plug-in/extension.

 

[Jason Frost]

Fuck it, I'm gonna spend my remaining wallet funds maxing out the SS2 badge.

Also reach level 20 for that extra tiny chance at booster packs

 

[Rickenslacker]

Nah, I don't have the slightest interest in it either. Partly due to Fish's comments about the potential of a PC port at first, and also due to the nature of the change that takes place in the game that I've heard of doesn't compel me whatsoever.

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Old World Blues is fantastic. Dead Money and Lonesome Road are pretty good, too. Honest Hearts is just okay. The rest you can pass on.
