I just preordered it, and now I'm really tempted to cancel the preload and request a refund.

Haha. Oh, no. 2 GB difference?

Your complaining about the files being more optimized? really?

» Sat Jan 08, 2011 11:12 pm

Your loss.

My preloaded Fallout: New Vegas folder is 6.7 gb, soo

» Sun Jan 09, 2011 12:36 pm

Wow its less fragmented and will run smoother... and you're complaining...

» Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:51 am

That's funny. Fallout New Vegas was 6.9 GB for me and everyone else i know who pre loaded on Steam.

It took me sleep, alcohol, multiple coin flips with a decision to turn against chance and fate, and finding $50 in quarters in my desk to finally let me purchase the game. I am insanely and notoriously cheap and paranoid that Bethesda will rip me off.

I disagree.

idk...I'm reading 10gb for some reasion...which is the size of WoW so this has got to be a mistake haha

please don't scare me like that

So what's the problem?

The size doesn't mean the game will be good or bad so it's a little confusing as to why you'd be upset at this.

Probably still less of a rip-off than any other recent release.

Seriously, Bethesda is the least of of the big bad gaming industry evils.

Wow that's some powerful stupid.

Line of the day. You win. :trophy:

You did not get the whole file. Mine is 6.75 GB. It may still need to download some more. Try resuming it.

OMGOSH they are optimizing files now??? So that they run smoother??????? THE HORROR!!!!!!

Seriously dude, just buy the game yeesh.

Honestly, that's true up until you start wandering to Valve territory. It's kind of sad. I generally swim the indie games waters when searching for fun in games. Spelunky and Eversion are awesome.

» Sun Jan 09, 2011 2:07 am

isn't this game supposed to be longer/more content than fo3?

» Sun Jan 09, 2011 3:50 am

Thank you for confirming that. I appreciate it.

Because Valve is the epitome of evil.

Seriously, it isn't 4 gigs. Either there is a problem or the download was stopped for some reason. I got almost 7 gigs like everyone else.

I was saying the exact opposite of that. Valve has a sort of bulletproof reputation among many PC gamers because they are generally a very sympathetic company in appearance and reputation. Staying a private company is a big part of that, admittedly. Gabe is seen as sort of a patron saint of PC gaming.

Oh, my bad. I thought you were saying that because of the Steam requirement Bethesda is getting worse. Makes total sense now :celebration:

So about 5 minutes ago I got a 4 MB update for NV. Caravan Pack, or are they adding files that weren't included in the original preload like some people say they do?

i understand you being worried about bethesda ripping you off(they did on FO 3) however,bethesda isn't making this game....the original makers of FO 1 & 2 are making this came...bethesda is the publisher.
