To buy or not to buy? it's the New Vegas question.

[Commissar Draco]

Since there was no New Vegas thread for some time and since I gahered some spare potatoes I have poll to gents lads and trannies inhabiting our fair Codexia:

Is New Vegas worth buying? Will Mine hard earned patotoes go to Obsidian or to betpizda? Or shud I just spend them on potato vodka and whores? Discuss!

 

[Suchy]

Yes, it's a good game.

 

[Volrath]

Yes, it's a good game.

If you can deal with the shitty engine, I would even say that it's a great game.

 

[Konjad]

Great game with shitty combat (so pretty much like most of the good cRPGs), therefore you should buy it. It's worth of support.

 

[Merkwürdigliebe]

Wait and buy it when it's cheap, thats what I'm going to do at least.

Yes, it's a decent game. It has plenty of flaws but overall it's one of the best implementations of the free-roaming first person RPGs, soif you like that sort of gameplay then it's definately worth picking up.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

I forgot when was the last time I actually paid for a video game. Seriously, you can go to a restaurant or buy a bottle of decent alcohol for that money.

 

[KalosKagathos]

I'd wait for the GotY edition before buying a Bethesda game.

EDIT:

Games last longer than booze.

 

[FatCat]

Pirate and then wait for GoTY

 

[Roguey]

I agree with everyone who says you should wait.

Will Mine hard earned patotoes go to Obsidian or to betpizda?

Bethesda. Obsidian's work-for-hire, they can potentially get royalties for meeting certain milestones but it doesn't seem too likely you'll make a difference in this case.

 

[Black]

Yeah, wait for cheap edition with all the patches and dlcs.

 

[Harold]

It's well worth buying, but there's also no shame in waiting for the goity edition if you want. I'd also like to add that Dead Money is the only dlc I know of that is worth its price.

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

The Pitt and Point Lookout are both better.

 

[Harold]

As is Vormantown, amirite?

 

[Drog Black Tooth]

Not a DLC, sorry.

 

[Carlos' Bitch1]

NV has steam. If a steamless, DRM-less version ever surfaces, I may buy it at bargain bin prices. Otherwise, no buy.

 

[Commissar Draco]

The Pitt and Point Lookout are both better.

What'sup Drog? Point lookout was better than F03 OC and I did ejoyed it but it's still was Bethpizpian game and I declered unrestricked U-Torrent war on them since Oblibion.

I know the game is good since I played it 3 times and playing it even now and so wanted to show my patronage to Obsidian. But I heard some disturbing rumors about the lion share of money going to Zenimax/Bethpizda. Anybody can clarify?

It's already on net.

 

[SoupNazi]

Wire some money directly to Obsidian.

 

[Jaesun]

It's a great Fallout setting/story trapped eternally in the fucking shitty Fallout 3 engine.

Since you seem to not mind the Fallout 3 engine from what you wrote, you should enjoy it just fine.

Oh do mind but I'm not as angry count like Skyway is to not apreciete all impovments made by Obsidian like iron sight less perks etc... not to mention superior CoC, fractions, quest design and art direction. All of them heavily outweighting the shit inherited after F03. Plus the game is simply fun to play like F02 was.

 

[Nael]

I'm not as angry count like Skyway...

R00fles!

 

[Nukester]

I think its been a pretty good game. Ive been having fun with it, but as I find with other Obsidian titles, its seems too easy. Its got a decent story and good exploration, but combat is so easy most of the time that it almost gets in the way of the game. When I stumble upon a group of baddies instead of being excited I am more like "ugh.....chestshot headshot headshot headshot backpeddle while firing and getting action points back rinse repeat...." most of the time decapitating the baddie with one shot.

The best part of the game is exploring those unknown sites off the main road.

Its a pretty good game. Ive certainly played worse, but it definilty suffers from being a bit console-itized

 

[SlowLane]

I had fun with it so splash the cash.

Even if the lion's share goes to beth. it's one more sale chalked up for Obsidian which can only be a good thing.
