Heard this song in the Saloon at the very beginning of the game, and just stood there listening to it.

 

[Pitty]

have u seen it on both consoles or is that the opinion of the masses on other forums? im curious if it looks better or has less bugs on ps3?

on 360, i have come across very few bugs. most coming since the update. i think it plays fine and see no reason to wait

He's wrong actually, PS3 has been buggier and hasn't even been patched yet.

Let's not forget the whole exclusive DLC thing either :smug2:.

:smh:

It works fine for me... that's all I care about.

The patch will come soon and the DLC will be on the GOTY Edition/in future DLC later on.

Bethseda will catch money on the rebound through PS3 land.

And I haven't had any problem with the 360 version either.

Don't know how GOTY helps you, since you already bought the damn game. Just about the worst argument ever presented.

so then why would u make the comment that its better on the ps3 then it is on the 360? thats very fanboy of you

Maynard...as for storing crap, you have pretty much 4 options:

1) Companions. Let them lug your heavy shit around, and then grab it back before selling it.

2) The Mojave Courier boxes. There are about 15 of these in different locations. If you put your stuff in one, you go to another one and the stuff will be there. Pretty handy for early game stuff.

3) Your house(s). So far I have a room in Novac and a suite in the Lucky 38. You can upgrade your suite to put crap in it, like FO3.

4) Find a spot you're comfortable you remember, and put stuff in a locker, dumpster or whatever. This option is a little more sketchy, but if you can remember where you put stuff, it works.

There is so much stuff to do in this game, it's daunting. I'm 22 hours in now and level 14 and barely scratched the surface of questing. I've finally gotten to the point where I'm picking up good weapons, but it seems like weapons are way harder to find than in FO3.

I'm already struggling with the Hardcore mode maintenance. I drank 4 beers and became addicted to it :smh: trying to fight off dehydration in a gun fight. Could really use a canteen.

I think I might main quest straight through this first playthrough. Just to get the Hardcore achievement out of the way.

So here's how my first playthrough wound up.

 

Wound up siding with the NCR in the final battle. Killed House.
Allied with the Boomers.
Destroyed the Brotherhood of Steel.
Destroyed the leaders of the Fiends.
Followers of the Apocalypse were forced out by NCR.
Goodspringers suffered from taxes and shit.
I destroyed the Great Khans myself.
Got a cure for the nightkins, and Jacobstown became a mutant haven.
Freeside was assisted by relief efforts from the NCR after signing a treaty with the Kings.

Not really a big fan of the ending to be honest. I mean, I knew from previews and stuff that you weren't going to be able to explore the wastes after, but I would have preferred to be able to, to see the effects and stuff. I'm sure they'll wind up charging us for some kind of DLC that enables that at some point down the road.

I was a good guy this time through, and I did kind of rush through after I figured out what was going down, so when I go through again I'm planning on exploring more, and probably just being an evil fuck.

Probably gonna just finish the main storyline up on this first playthrough just to get it done and then start another and really try to find everything.

i been having a hard time finding a good energy weapon. i am buil my guy for that and all i have is a wimpy laser pistol

shit, just drink water. use the sinks in bathrooms or whatever water source u can find. or fast travel back to good springs source. there are like 3 clean water sources there

dont u have your canteen? i have one and my guy just sips on it on his own

There's really only two spots to find good energy weapons as far as I was able to see.

 

The Silver Rush in Freeside
Hidden Valley (BoS's "secret" base)

And it makes sense anyway, because in FO3, you had the Enclave and Brotherhood all over the place, so there was plenty of energy weapons around.

Out in the Mojave/Vegas, it's pretty much NCR's reign, and they run with traditional weapons. There's really no Brotherhood presence at all.

You guys are done already? How long it take you?

Total play time for my save was like 47 or 48 hours.

 

[JayDizzle]

I found out that for all the curbstomping I've been doing to miscellaneous Raiders and Powder Gangers, it doesn't mean shit when I'm face to face with...

 

Deathclaws near the Sloan Rock Quarry.

I didn't even see the "Younger Deathclaw" until half of my health was gone and ED-E was "unconscious."

All I could think of was how shitty my bullets were (I had armor piercers and Hollow Points but didn't think about it until my character's head was halfway across the map) and how much worse my Energy Weapons score was.

I'm not even at Novac yet and I can already tell that I need to start killing EVERYTHING to get ready for my trip into New Vegas

I found something worse...

 

Right around the area of the NCRCF Prison, you might have the opportunity to acquire the "Black Mountain" Radio Frequency.

Aside from some bitchin' country tunes, you're treated to a broadcast helmed by two Super Mutants/Nightkin... one goes by the name Tabitha.

If you've read any previews for this game, then you know how batshit insane this particular Super Mutant is; if not, just think "The Incredible Hulk" but purple and wearing a wig and dress.

I've met this particular purple giant and "she" was extremely happy to introduce herself and her Super Sledge to my face.

Luckily, I've managed to have ED-E along for the ride as well as the newly recruited Raul the Ghoul with me. :yep:

A couple of Incinerator shots (best weapon I've gotten so far) and some Turbo used later and I'm about to loot the rest of Tabitha's stuff before returning to score me some Brotherhood of Steel Power Armor at the bottom of the hill.

And I just hit Level 10.

As to who my new companion is:

 

Raul the Ghoul is a former mechanic who was imprisoned by Tabitha in exchange for his life and fix-it know-how... he's also voiced by:

 

[j.hen]

Gonna get on and try and beat the main story. Someone who's beat it tell me how far I got left:

 

I got Yes Man upgraded and in control of all security bots. And made my choices about all the factions.

 

[j.hen]

Got lost in the story on my first playthrough so I decided to start a new one and concentrate on exploring more before even going to New Vegas. Scott Pilgrim on the prowl.

 

[j.hen]

Got the Wild Wasteland perk right away. Lets see some shit.

Go to silver rush do the van graff guard shit, after your shift the guard goes inside just sneak over open the case and bam perfect laser rifle and plasma rifle 100 rounds and a set of armor, its like free money...


Wild wasteland just adds a couple things to the game like an alien ship, Holy hand grenades (monty python and fo2), an old lady gang and makes a couple of the ordinary things a bit weirder all in all you wont notice much difference but if its your second playthrough you might as well get it...


Tip of the day : if your going to take vegas for yourself go to h&h tools and get the lucky 38 vip keycard, haven't figured out what its for yet but its gotta be for something... Also, you can walk up the backside of black mountain and its alot easier than just coming up the road, think i had to fight maybe two mutants to take the whole mountain when i came in from behind...
