How many hours of FNv have you clocked?

129 at present. But I'd say around 20 hours of that is just messing around with mods, technical problems, restarts etc. An awesome game though, and I still haven't touched the DLC yet. :)
 
Got it December of 2010 and I only have 60 hours clocked. Of course, that's a bit deceptive since I was only able to play it since April of this year due to not having high speed internet.
 
Two playthroughs

1st was NCR supporter, 1 charisma, milliteristic approach, energy weapons build.

2nd was NCR supporter, 10 charisma, diplomatic approach, guns build (assault carbine mostly)

Each playthrough about 80 hours long ~ 160 hours total.

PS: Both playthroughs, blew up the BoS!
 
First playthrough(vanilla, no DLC, no mods): 185hours

Second playthrough(vanilla, with all DLC, no mods): 98hours

Third playthrough(completely modded new textures, enb, everything, all DLC): 227hours

At this point I'm usually just randomly playing for the survival and mods now without actually playing any of the main quest.
 
At the moment I've got 280 combined. Done all the endings on different playthroughs.
Now I'm just playing around with mods, and trying out some things I haven't tried before.
 
755 hours, according to Steam. That's weirdm I could swear I had more hours before... I haven't play seriously in months, I should go back to it once I upgrade my PC today :cool:
 
I know dat feel.

Got a new PC recently. Moving to a new place soon. Planning on starting a new playthrough then. Must have clocked in hundreds of hours of NV by now.
 
SERIOUSLY! God damn it... I made threads about my intention to build a new PC for the explicit purpose of collecting additional opinions and insight to aid in researching the best parts to seek out for my purposes, and as time wears on I don't hear anything of value, and then people start bragging about new PCs they're getting. "GRR" I say!!!
 
No way... you gotta know what you're aiming for, not what you're willing to pay for it, if you want a great system. The system I'm using right now was a custom make, put together by myself and a friend, and budgeted. While I can say that "experiencing problems" after 6 years of age is remarkable for any system that's meant for high gaming performance, I also can't ignore that these last 2 years I've had to cut heavily corners with gaming performance just to make sure my system could handle it. So... that's more like 4 years of working *adequately*, and 2 years afterward of heavy struggling. And I can trace the cause to my erring more on the side of cost than firsthand knowledge of what I wanted done.

Between this system and the last one I built myself, I'd gone through about 2-3 PCs that were store-builds which I'd rather just file away in the back of my mind, but that last one was a Pentium II I made in 1999. Back then, I knew EXACTLY what I wanted (and tragically, I was literally 2 months earlier than the first Pentium 3 chips) and my system was built for those purposes... and it was a dream. It cost me everything I had at the time, but it was the system I have the strongest and happiest memories with. But getting the PC of my dreams 15 years ago led me to slack off on keeping up with the latest and greatest hardware, and the following store-build systems further handicapped my awareness of the latest improvements in tech, so by the time I went to work researching parts for my current system back in 2008, I had to rely on suggestions and word-of-mouth rather than my own knowledge of what worked. As a result, I was more concerned with saving (in case of having to repair breaks) than foregoing $50 here and there for absolutely superior parts. And thus why I'm left with a system I CANNOT upgrade, because the parts needing swapping out would necessitate a new system entirely.

So, no way. Not gonna just head to a PC place and give them a figure and hope for the best. I wanna know exactly what I'm making by knowing exactly what I'm making it with.
 
I am not talkign about store builds, I am telling you to go to one of those places where they custom build pcs for them to easily help you, they will actually help you check what is compatible with your current equipment and even help you make an upgradeable pc, only thing you would need to do is to cross refference prices and specs with what they gave you.
 
Yes, and that's what I'm saying "no way" to. It doesn't matter if you go to someone who will help you assemble a custom build or if you go to Fry's to have them sell you a premade model, just telling someone your budget is the same in either case. You don't know the parts you need, so you're doing nothing more than rolling the dice on who you asked the question to, and whether they'll give you something awesome, or something you'll regret in a few months. You gotta KNOW what parts you want, not how much you're willing to pay for them.
 
Well, I don't exactly get how could you even get something that exceeds your budget to begin with, are you seriously gonna ask for a loan to build a PC?
Iin any case one tactic actually helps you get the PC and the information quickly (specs, prize, compatibility) and with information pertinent to your zone, while the other is just sitting there waiting for people to recommend you titan graphics cards and the most expensive and overkill stuff in the market and like you just told us, ending up not getting enough information to actually get it. I am pretty sure most people who build their pcs, or buy custom components spend more time with a trusted distributor and a trusted engineer than asking people on the web, that just gets you nowhere.
 
That first line is yet again another notch-carving-worthy statement. I never said I'd go about getting a system that exceeds my budget, that's your misunderstanding. I said that's not what matters. Basically reading "don't like" and assuming "hate". How do you do that, exactly? I don't understand these leaps in recognition. I said you focus on the parts, not the price. How does this translate to building something that exceeds your budget? No, that translated DIRECTLY to "prioritize knowledge of parts", and ONLY that, nothing else. You gotta stop connecting dots that don't connect. <_<

And no, "most" who build their own PCs don't rely on selective informational sources, they vary. Some take the word recommendation of friends who follow the scene more than they do. Some ARE those who follow the tech scene and already know what they need/want (like what I used to be, 15 years ago). Some others still are those you outlined who rely on "trusted distributors". The fact that there is no one answer is why I'm asking around, simple as that. There's no "magic bullet" method for me to instantly catch up on 15 years of progress and know exactly what's available right now and what I can expect in 5 years. No, that'll take a while. Besides, I never said I was JUST "asking and waiting for answers" here at NMA, alone, just that it was one of the places I was doing so. I'm already comparing specs and prices on my own, but that's a small piece of the puzzle. Again, I'm talking about knowing EVERYTHING relevant. The big picture, not just a corner of it.
