Fallout 3 New Vegas

[guava_wrench]

Has anyone else pre-ordered this? I pre-ordered through Steam (I love Steam) and have preloaded it already to avoid server traffic next week.

I'm pretty excited as I played Fallout 3 to death. I'm not sure I'll have time to play on Tuesday though, which is a bummer.

I can tell how excited I am when I find myself looking through achievements and planning out a playing strategy.

Pretty Keen to get this. Fallout 3 was one of the best games i've played. I'm still a long way away from finishing it however, since I have all the add-on packs for 3 to go.

I'm super excited to get this game; Fallout 3 is my favorite "next generation" game, probably tied with Mass Effect.  I've got a pretty full plate right now so I won't be able to play for awhile, but this game is one of the "must owns", in my opinion.

I played through those on a second run through of the game. Steam had a deal.

The Mass Effect series is really brilliant, though the planet mining was a bit tedious. I enjoyed the simplicity of Mass Effect 2 due to the limited inventory options. I love having a single narrative for the trilogy.

I was just reading about the most recent DLC for Mass Effect 2. Seems to have great reviews. I might have to try that our after Fallout 3.

Might go and nab it when I get myself a PS3, or when I buy a new PC. Both will happen somewhere in the next few months

I've played Fallout II through about 20 times, and will do it again soon. Love the series.

Tried to get in to Fallout 3 and Oblivion several times but I ended of giving up after about 12 hours played on both.

Is there anything in this game that would make someone like me like it?

If I haven't played any of the Fallouts should I just jump into new Vegas or go back and get the game of the year edition for fall out 3.

GOTY Edition for Fallout 3. You'll spend months on it, and you'll be ready for New Vegas probably around the time it becomes cheaper.

I think you can ignore the PC games.  I'd say get Fallout 3 just because it is *such* a great game, and is literally dozens of hours of gameplay. 

However, if you want to jump into New Vegas first, you should be okay; it's not technically a sequel to Fallout 3, it just has similar game play and is set in the same world.

Got it last Tues. I love this. I'm really embracing a kind of "Nerd Gunslinger" thing this time around. I rock a Deperado Cowboy hat, glasses, and I switch in and out between my NCR "Service Rifle" and "That Gun" (a kind of mechanized automatic swiss cheese maker).

The "Four Eyes" perk and "Gunslinger" perk have come in real handy.

Hard to answer.  What do you mean by "someone like me?"

I get motion sickness playing 1st person shooters (I think my tv screen is too big).  But my favorite games are Fallout and Oblivion.  So I play them entirely in 3rd person instead.  For sniping I might switch to 1st, but 95% of the time I play in 3rd person.  Perhaps this is something that might let you enjoy the game more?

I love New Vegas.  It's fantastic.  One major beef though - I haven't done a single mission for the main quest, and I'm already level 25 (hard difficulty).  The level cap is 30.  I'll be completely maxed out by the time I finish the side quests and start the main quest.  The amount of experience earned is completely unbalanced.  There should not be a level cap on this game at all.  Not when you can play it for 150 hours with one character.

Agreed.  The level cap in Fallout 2 was 99.  I played that game for years it seemed and I never got close.
