yay, more Fallout!

Some screen shots came out.  One of them reminds me of the movie Sahara

Well Alpha Protocol is getting shit reviews for its game play elements, but high marks on it's dialog interaction.   Hopefully they haven't tweaked the combat system from Fallout 3

It occurs to me that it would be a sin for this game not to have a soundtrack soaked in Vegas lounge acts. IT MUST HAVE SINATRA.

Q&A Out!

Most important thing for most people seems to be how they plan on using Steam.  I personally love it.  While I'm sure there is some PC gamer out there that doesn't use Steam (why I have no idea) but when you compare this DRM to Ubisoft, or EA its a dream.

Fallout: New Vegas: Need Steam and internet connection for 1st install.  Limitless Installs afterwords.  Do not need to be connected to internet to play
Ubisoft: Need constant internet connection to play.  If connection fails while playing you are bumped to your most recent auto save and can no play till your connection returns
EA's Spore:  Limited Number of Installs

I has it!

Toys R Us has a fantastic deal buy the game and you get a $10 Gift card AND the Strategy Guide for free.

So, yeah, they're basically giving you $35 to buy the game there. That is AWESOME.

I have it as well.  For some reason the characters your see in the intro look really bad.... but in the rest of the game is beautiful.

Beautiful in an destroyed kind of way

i made it about 45 seconds...

I'm up to level 9 now. Impressions:

Ammo is much harder to find than I remember it. I'm just now reaching the point where I feel like I have enough ammo. Speaking of which, converting one type of ammo into another at workbenches is confusing and off-putting.

I picked up two followers. One of which is incredibly lethal. Dude will one shot 3 enemies before I get one finished off. On one hand, that's really helpful, but on the other that means I don't collect the full EXP from his kills. I might switch to a non-combat focused companion one I get more badass.

I haven't found many good weapons yet, but the Cowboy Repeater is pretty great. Seven shots and good damage.

I miss gaining a perk every level like in Fallout 3, but I can see why they changed it. Cutting the perks you get in half results in a much more balanced, and clearly defined character. No more King of all Trades in Fallout.

Stimpacks are much harder to come by now. I find that I'm relying on food to refill my health in between battles so that I can save my stimpacks for repairing damaged limbs.

I'm liking the faction system more and more. It's going to make replaying the game much more appealing knowing that I'll have brand new quests opened up by siding with different factions.

Regarding the widespread reports of bugs and glitches? So far I haven't encountered any more glitches or game crashes than I did in Fallout 3. I've crashed maybe 3 or four times and the only glitch I've seen involved Fast Traveling to an area and noticing that all the radscorpions had spawned halfway inside the ground, killing them all instantly. Weird, but hey, free looting!

I'm playing with the Wild Wasteland trait on, which makes certain aspects of the game kookier. In the desert near the beginning of the game I found a blown up fridge with a skeleton in it wearing a fedora. Awesome.

I'm really digging the game so far and regret that time passes so quickly when I play it.
