    Bethesda allegedly pulls negative Fallout: New Vegas review

    It's the same guy? I don't know about Pathologic but his review piqued my interest in The Void, back then, and the game delivered as the review promised. Bizarre, indeed.

    Bethesda allegedly pulls negative Fallout: New Vegas review

    I don't know how truthful are this guy's allegations, considering the harsh Rock Paper Shotgun review. The critique is "boring world, boring story, poor implementation". No mention of bugs, though. I wouldn't mind the guy saying New Vegas is boring, but quoting FO3 as having interesting...

    So, can one actually role play in this title?

    No, they're the same, unfortunately. Lockpicking isn't so bad but damn i hate hacking...

    Guns or energy weapons?

    Lockpick is needed everywhere. I've also seen quite some uses for repair and science but not as many. Lockpick just isn't as fun as repair or science, since they usually involve robots and interesting dialogue options.

    Caravan (In-Game)

    The game ends when the three of a player's caravans are in the 21-26 range and best all the opponent's caravans. If one of your caravans' tied with the other guy's caravan the game's gonna drag on until that's no more (eg: you use a J on one of the other player's cards to break the tie). Usually...

    Caravan players do not bet any money?

    I'm having the same problem. At first, i thought it was just Ringo because he was the tutorial Caravan player but that Nash fellow lets me raise and he doesn't pay up...

    Skill lvl unimportant. glitch?

    I dunno if that's the case, but when i was repairing a certain robot in Primm i had the choice to either repair it as is without using any new parts by passing a high repair skill level check or using some new parts and with a lower required skill level. Maybe something like that happened to...

    Potential fix for widespread, game breaking bug

    It's the one that has the hard.ini file, IIRC (which i think is the main game folder).

    Potential fix for widespread, game breaking bug

    Works for me. Went from 20 FPS on low settings to 80 on high.

    Mods you already want for NV?

    Having played a few hours, i'm begging for Darnified UI NV and something that removes minigames altogether.

    I am getting TO' UP

    I'm like that as well. Tried one way, giant radscorpions were impervious to bullets. Then tried going up the valley, giant mosquito stings me once and i drop dead. Third time, i see a sign that says "Beware Deathclaws" and i figure i should just finish Goodsprings :P Compared to those scorpions...

    REAL minimum system requirements

    I'm having bad framerate with a semi-decent quad core, a Geforce 9800GTX and 8 gb RAM. FO3 chugged a lot too but i think it's the added NPCs that's bring me down to 15, since a big skirmish (around 20 combatants) against the Powder Gangers went to almost unplayable. Performance's pretty awful...

    Fallout: New Vegas Launch Day Reviews

    I'd be inclined to accept the notion that Libery Prime was awesome if it didn't get stuck on each and every street post. I like how the story branches out and seems to work like in Alpha Protocol. Too bad you can't ever trust these peoples' tastes...

    Fallout: New Vegas previews

    Leigh Alexander isn't the best example. Her career is pretty much based on finding non-existant gender issues on everything. I don't know why some of you mind female journalists so much. The scripts they get are just as awful as the ones male journalists get so at least you get a semi-hot...

    Rags to riches, riches to rags

    I don't think you're getting it. What Alec means (i think) is that whatever you start with is the most you're gonna get. As the game progresses, you're forced to make use of what you have, diminishing your resources as you go, ramping up the difficulty because of the "resources" shortage. You'd...

    Fallout: New Vegas fan notes and shots from PAX

    Here: http://www.fallout3nexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2761 It's actually a giant mod that does a lot of other things but i think it's modular and you can just toggle off all the rest if you're not interested. I tagged both lockpick and science, raised them to about 60-70 and beat the game...

    Cam footage of New Vegas

    Looks like he's doing small jumps or something and that he hangs in the air a bit. Better than FO3's "what's this guy's problem?" animation but still wonky. New Vegas in the background does look cool.
