Fallout: New Vegas
Storm Rider:
I will confirm that I've been playing the game since midnight and haven't seen appreciably worse performance than Fallout 3. Which isn't to say it's very good, but it's not like Obsidian could spin straw into gold with that one.
Apparently the PC version's pretty fucked though. There's some issue with Steam Cloud support or something, it's not working with autosaves.
Scandanavian War Machine:
got really blazed at 11 last night and drove all the way back into town for the midnight release. Man, there were some weird characters there, let me tell you. There was this one really old lady with a cane who was super excited about her collector's edition and guide. It was kind of odd and funny. She had to be like 80, and she was all "I just finished Fallout 3 a couple weeks ago and I've been dying to get into New Vegas, I'm so excited!"
Anyway, I spent about an hour or so playing last night before I went to bed. I did the first couple of tutorial-type missions, and enjoyed them as much as anyone can enjoy a tutorial.
I'm going with sort of a general character first: Science, Lockpicking, Guns, Explosives, that sort of thing. I was thinking about starting with Hardcore mode, but I want to get as much out of it on my first go as possible before I come back later for a Hardcore run. Oh yeah, and I picked Wild Wasteland....I couldn't resist.
The deck of cards that come with the CE are really slick. They are all mismatched "brands" of cards from different Casinos and things so almost all the cards have different backs, not to mention the fronts which are all different, and filled with characters and things from the wasteland. Gonna read the graphic novel "All Roads" today on my lunch break, so we'll see how that is.
Really though, I just wanna go home and keep playing. Today is going to be the slowest work day ever. :|

I am quite enjoying myself! The Voice Acting is improved as far as I can tell, the dialogue is much better, the graphics are still basically the same but polished slightly. Mainly the polishing is on the faces, but they are still Bethesda faces. I started with Hardcore mode and I actually feel vulnerable now, which is a very nice change.
I also haven't noticed any real bugs in the PC game other than animations not being particularly good, but those aren't any worse than before.
Edit - Also, not sure if this is just me or not, but the game feels like they've put a bit more color in there. The enemies aren't all varying shades of brown and some the Giant Mantis I've run into even have a type that has a rainbow plumage. It's a nice change.
johnny5:
do you guys wanna post what perks/traits you're taking, up to a certain level?
KvP:
I've only gotten up to level 4 or so, so I've taken Wild Wasteland and Four Eyes as traits, and Lady Killer / Comprehension as perks. Energy Weapons / Science / Speech character.
