Fallout: New Vegas
KvP:
Not really New Vegas related (although Pete Hines told USA Today that F:NV will be as large as Fallout 3 and take as long to explore as F3 did) but I'm hearing a lot of whispers of an Obsidz team-up with Squeenix. We'll see...
look out! Ninjas!:

Bleh, that does kinda bum me out. I don't have a problem with Jeremy Soule and Inon Zur in general like some people do, but if you're going to hire guys like that it better damn well fit the setting. For example, I was perfectly fine with Zur's bombast when it was applied to Dawn of War. Not exactly a subtle setting. But Fallout is about desolation, dammit.

And yet all I did while wander the wasteland was listen to GNR. I considered downloading a mod that added a hundred or so songs from the same period because I was hearing the sam e songs over and over (although I'll never get sick of Anything Goes, and especially not when I'm killing mutants in the most graphic fashion), but didn't because the game was struggling on my old PC as it was.

Not sure what your point here is. Saying that you chose to fire up your mp3s instead of listening to the game's music isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of Inon Zur, that's for damn sure. If it doesn't quite match the setting* AND fails to be catchy enough to discourage you from just firing up your mp3s, then that's a lose-lose. I accept that people can and will listen to other music while gaming, particularly during second play throughs or when playing games where atmosphere isn't that important (sports/racing games and pure multiplayer FPS games come to mind), but I would hope a single player RPG would at least have the musical chops to make you think twice about it on your first play through. Ambient sounds and carefully selected music can add a lot, after all.
*I don't really think the Fallout 3 soundtrack was bad, per se, I just thought it was a bit meh.

I think you misread his post. I'm pretty sure he was saying he thought the soundtrack was great, the only problem being that it didn't have enough songs on it, so he contemplated adding more songs from the same era as the songs on the soundtrack to it.
I loved Fallout 3's soundtrack. Without a doubt hands down loved it. I listen to the GNR online radio station. I think it fits in well with the crazy distopian setting, or I guess provides an interesting contrast. The music is upbeat and cheerful and sort of rubs in the fact that you are so fucking and will never see another blade of grass ever again growing in the barren wasteland you call home. Also, I mean, songs like Butcher Pete are just insane. It's an upbeat song about someone who likes to chop people up. Plus the music is mostly 40's and 50's music, which fits in perfectly with the games sort of space age retro-futuristic setting.
So in all, I found the soundtrack perfect.
But this is coming from a girl who wish the Ink Spots could sing at her wedding.
