Fallout New Vegas

[topgear]

Experience all the sights and sounds of fabulous New Vegas, brought to you by Vault-Tec, America's First Choice in Post Nuclear Simulation. Explore the treacherous wastes of the Great Southwest from the safety and comfort of your very own vault: Meet new people, confront terrifying creatures, and arm yourself with the latest high-tech weaponry as you make a name for yourself on a thrilling new journey across the Mojave wasteland. A word of warning, however - while Vault-Tec engineers have prepared for every contingency,* in Vegas, fortunes can change in an instant. Enjoy your stay.

Welcome to Vegas. New Vegas. It’s the kind of town where you dig your own grave prior to being shot in the head and left for dead…and that’s before things really get ugly. It’s a town of dreamers and desperados being torn apart by warring factions vying for complete control of this desert oasis. It’s a place where the right kind of person with the right kind of weaponry can really make a name for themselves, and make more than an enemy or two along the way.

As you battle your way across the heat-blasted Mojave Wasteland, the colossal Hoover Dam, and the neon drenched Vegas Strip, you’ll be introduced to a colorful cast of characters, power-hungry factions, special weapons, mutated creatures and much more. Choose sides in the upcoming war or declare “winner takes all” and crown yourself the King of New Vegas in this follow-up to the 2008 videogame of the year, Fallout 3. Enjoy your stay.

Key Features:

Feel the Heat in New Vegas! Not even nuclear fallout could slow the hustle of Sin City. Explore the vast expanses of the desert wastelands – from the small towns dotting the Mojave Wasteland to the bright lights of the New Vegas strip. See the Great Southwest as could only be imagined in Fallout.

Feuding Factions, Colorful Characters and a Host of Hostiles! A war is brewing between rival factions with consequences that will change the lives of all the inhabitants of New Vegas. The choices you make will bring you into contact with countless characters, creatures, allies, and foes, and determine the final explosive outcome of this epic power struggle.

New Systems! Enjoy new additions to Fallout: New Vegas such as a Companion Wheel that streamlines directing your companions, a Reputation System that tracks the consequences of your actions, and the aptly titled Hardcore Mode to separate the meek from the mighty. Special melee combat moves have been added to bring new meaning to the phrase “up close and personal”. Use V.A.T.S. to pause time in combat, target specific enemy body parts and queue up attacks, or get right to the action using the finely-tuned real-time combat mechanics.

An Arsenal of Shiny New Guns! With double the amount of weapons found in Fallout 3, you’ll have more than enough new and exciting ways to deal with the threats of the wasteland and the locals. In addition, Vault-Tec engineers have devised a new weapons configuration system that lets you tinker with your toys and see the modifications you make in real time.

Let it Ride! In a huge, open world with unlimited options you can see the sights, choose sides, or go it alone. Peacemaker or Hard Case, House Rules, or the Wild Card - it’s all in how you play the game.

[Psychosocial]

Fallout New Vegas got 8.5 from IGN. I am happy but I don't trust IGN so I'll just have to wait till I get the game.

@Dinjo :- by wait I meant I am waiting to get the game for myself .

[dinjo_jo]

Let us know your impression people have been saying its quite similar to Fallout 3

[Psychosocial]

Okay here is a summary of my impression of the game :-

Pros :-
-> Cozy and home like feeling for FO3 veterans as the gameplay mechanics are quite similar
-> Addition of factions and things like Damage Threshold and Damage Per Second make a deep game even more deeper
-> Characters more likeable and interesting than FO3
-> Main storyline feels interesting and intriguing
-> Has every good thing that FO3 had!

Cons :-
-> Slow framerate on the X360
-> Occasional bugs (haven't ran into anything big yet)

So overall, a 9/10 from me. Will be hooked to it for a long time to come!

^^^
wow the system requirements are much lower compared to other 2010 games
interesting to see that they haven'tremoved support for DX9 yet

@all
can anyone please comment on the Visual quality of New Vegas?
I have seen members from other forums grumbling how the Visuals haven't changed(improved) at all

[Psychosocial]

New Vegas looks okay at the best but that's cause of the amount of stuff it has to render at any given point of time. It looks almost exactly as Fallout 3. Sadly it runs terribly on the consoles. Clocked in 5 hours. Amazing game except the lag problem. Hooked to it like crazy!

[damngoodman999]

Yeah i found the problem for lagging The file missing - d3d9.11 file here the location

potential FIX for npc slowdown - Bethesda Softworks Forums

Which is present in Fallout 3

Just paste it in your fallout New vegas folder

[topgear]

If new vegas gfx is exactly same as fallout 3 I think it's the best as I've loved ( and still love it ) fallout 3 for it's great gameplay and I think same would be applicable for Fallout New Vegas as well.

There are still many bugs present in Fallout Newvegas !! Only crashing is missed thank god , as for graphic's was improved

[saddy]

This is the only one series of RPG type games i liked the most.interms of story and game play.although graphics r bit dated but its not the graphics that makes a games its the immersion experience and story telling that makes a 100% enjoyable .

[topgear]

Played it yesterday - have my first encounter with the powder gang.

This games looks better but lags while is combat with multiple enemies and seems easy to me than the previous one.

Yes, I did, to reach the strip go to freeside and find the door that takes you to the strip, you must have a pass card or 2000 caps to pass through, you don't loose the caps, you need to have the caps to enter only.

[Psychosocial]

I'm at Freeside! Had come to Crimson Caravan for the 'Heartache by the Number' quest and now at Freeside, exploring stuff. Anyone know where that 'The King' guy is ?

[Piyush]

i am new kid in this world
i'm thinking to go for it

i've read various reviews and i found it something like this:
S.TA.L.K.E.R. + Borderlands = FALLOUT

[vamsi_krishna]

I've completed stalker, borderlands, fallout. And, I can say that, Fallout is unique.

[Piyush]

u mean fallout 3?
thats cool!!
that means i've gotta try this one

Yes, go to freeside, at the corner of a crossing you'll see a large sign that says "The king" or something with a logo of a guiter(in neon), the king is in that house, either he is in the theater or at the 2nd floor in his room.

fallout New Vegas is a good game..just completed it today. As per rating i'll give it 8.5/10
It is buggy and sometime my game froze and i had to restart. So i would advice to please save game before and after important quests. The world is big and lavish though very limited types of mutated animals are there. I did not find any behemoths...mutants were rarely found and that too in very few places. Some of the side missions are remarkable..especially the one in the Luxe casino( white hand society) and that of Brotherhood Of steel ... i did not find all places in the mojave but almost did all the missions. It took me well over 35 hrs to complete main quests+ 90% side quests+ 40% Partner quest + 95% world exploration...i did not find all the vaults..nor did i find all unique weapons..i could only find That gun, Lucky, Maria, as far as i know there are 5 more to find. I am going to play it again in diwali holidays with mods and new texture. I think its the best release among all other games that were released for pc in the last 2 months.

that's a new bit of info to me - I've just took too much missions from people around freeside ie from NCR, From The caravan, From followers of Apocalypse, From some lady to watch over her daughter, To fix the Kings dog, Free some people from chem addiction, and some mission from NCR scientist as well to gain aps and I now have 1910 caps.

If I would knew that earlier I would have gone into the strip and take care of benne very well.

BTW, is there any way to get a good armor - currently i've two armors NCR one and Lightweight metal armor.
