VideoGames posted:no I didnt. I said the story touched me in a different way. i never blamed Dad in Fallout3. i felt that he was driven to save everything at the expense of himself and his family. thats what I got from that one. I felt as though he never truly forgot his main drive which was water purification. The point is that the story and quests in New Vegas give you good well thought options depending on how how you/your character sees the situation while Fallout 3 (mostly) doesn't.

I think the difference between F3 and NV especially for the time they each came out is overstated. NV does have better plotting, more out there stuff and the most fun I had in Fallout was in modded NV. They both had about the same number of problems though. Obsidian are probably the most reliably competent writers in the business but personally I feel that just good writing doesn't make a good game or even a good story. Killing everybody you met was much more fun in NV though.

snuff posted:Thanks! Wow, that sounds bad, I was wondering why there was so little information about this game. Generally embargoes being held until or after release time shows that the publisher lacks confidence in the product. A recent example of this is Assassin's Creed: Unity (and we know how well that game worked on release). Dragon Age: Inquisition also had one that was really close to release time, I think?

It probably also has something to do with you being one of the most glass half full posters I've seen on these forums. From what I have seen from other threads, you tend to see the most positive aspects of whatever you play. (This is not a complaint)

PS4 supposedly has the huge framerate drop when using scopes (which we've only seen video of once, and it didn't happen on the PS4 streams I watched) and reportedly some slowdown indoors which I didn't witness either and some folks are saying doesn't exist. We won't know for sure until the full release. And nothing's really been said about the Xbox One version to compare.

conversation piece posted:FWIW, I played through NV at least 4 times. I couldn't bother with Fallout 3 even twice. Yeah, I enjoyed Fallout 3 and played the hell out of it - finished it 3 or 4 times. I have played through New Vegas ~25 times and still play on a regular basis. I started up a new Fallout 3 game the other week and after a half hour gave up because all the cool stuff added in New Vegas wasn't there. In New Vegas you can have a completely different experience each time you play but in Fallout 3 it's going to be pretty much the same. I wish my PC was able to run Fallout 4. I bought Fallout 1 and 2 in the box when they came out and still have the boxes/manuals/discs.

GreenBuckanneer posted:ps4 has severe framerate drop while zoomed in Yeah, as I noted above this one seems to be random. It's not a consistent drop but it's AWFUL when it happens. It might also occur on the One as we haven't seen as much footage of that version. Same with the reported FPS drops indoors that happen on both consoles. It's a fairly rare occurrence.

Personally I feel the biggest difference between NV and F3 (and why I love NV but dislike F3) is how it's structured. Someone said that F3 is an Elder Scrolls game reskinned and to me that's not that far off. NV was more structured like the older Fallouts in that most of its content and meat lay within the various communities, while F3 had that "ooh a dungeon to explore" Elder Scrolls type thing. And NV allowed you real good choices. You didn't have to side with anyone if you didn't want to, you could kill pretty much anyone you wanted. Various factions could be interacted with in various ways, and you there were different endings for them based on what you did. Whereas F3 had an open world but forced you down certain paths due to plot reasons basically. You have to side with goodie-goodie Eastern BoS because the plot demands it for example. The writing is a part of it but I think that's far less important a reason than the whole gameplay revolving around how you can impact the world. That was always why Fallout grabbed me and Bethesda completely missed/ignored that part of it, and it looks like F4 won't be any better in that regard.

I'm sure the major console perf issues will be ironed out with a patch that's not far off. I ended up getting this on steam over console, though. hopefully the steam controller works well; it's loving awesome with MGSV.

I've never had to do it before to unlock a game but I'm just going off what people have posted before in this thread. I thought you'd only get banned if you actually bought something that way but probably worth trying without changing store region first at least.
