Fallout: New Vegas

<< < (80/208) > >>

LTK:
Consider if you want to install mods on your game or not. I didn't get any modifications until I played Fallout 3 a second time, and a lot of them didn't do much for me, so it comes down to personal preference.

Anyway, I pre-ordered the thing today, so hopefully it'll arrive when the 22nd comes around. Got it at (what I think is) a low-profile entertainment webshop where every game is 30% cheaper, so no pre-order bonuses there, I guess.

Storm Rider:
Yeah it depends on how much you utilize mods, really. I can count the number of mods I've installed on one hand, so my transition to console gaming was pretty painless. Nearly all games are designed primarily for consoles at this point, so if it doesn't run well for the 360 then they've got a problem. Then again, with open world RPGs like F:NV some degree of bugs are inevitable, although hopefully New Vegas will help redeem, at least in part, Obsidian's reputation for releasing unfinished games.

Tom:
In America your average console game is what, 60 USD? That's the equivalent of 61 AUD at the moment (apart from that abysmal point this year we've been chasing you guys for parity) yet we pay 110 AUD for a new release game.

The best option available is to purchase through web only stores like 356games and cdwow where you can get each for 60-75 AUD. With those kind of discounts around you just can't rationalise pre-order bonuses. The big game stores can kid themselves all they want that this encourages sales but it's prices like these that kill their business.


Besides, the money you save on each game can go towards getting another game or DLC for the same game. Either of which would be more fulfilling than a special hat and a shotgun or whatever.

Scandanavian War Machine:
personally, I'd never trade my comfy couch and obscenely big tv for some mods.

Yes, I look longingly at cool mods on the internet and wish I could use them, but when I think about hunching over in front of my computer for over 100 hours versus reclining in my living room...well, the choice is obvious.

Also, I work on a computer all day so the last thing I wanna do after work is sit down in front of another PC in some horrible torture device that some company thinks is called a chair. I've never sat in a comfortable computer chair...this may or may not be entirely my own fault though.

Caleb:
Thanks.

I think I will go with the 360 version.  I didn't mod fallout 3 at all and I was really happy with the vanilla game.  (Though I did mod Oblivion a bunch).

It would just really suck to pay for the PC version and not have it work properly.  Bottom line my PC doesn't have the minimum specs.  I don't want to gamble again like I did on Bioshock 2 and not have it work at all.  It's probably a fluke that Mass Effect 2 works so well on my PC.

It's not like I can't get the PC version later down the line when it's much cheaper.
