bestbuy gamer magazine? fallout article with new screens.

Post » Tue Dec 21, 2010 1:26 am

just found this in my mail, a new magazine best buy is sending out.
has a 6 page article, (first 2 pages are more like a giant screen shot saying hey this is a new vegas article.) a few new screens.
player wearing the vault 21 suit and a shotgun on his back walking down a hill, armored jumpt suit with a lever action rifle blasting a feral ghoul, a room with 3 mini rockets and ghouls in space suits? i think, several ferals in the room as well.
then a confusing thing, they advertise their merc pack, with 2 pictures, however the right picture is the armored vault 13 jump suit >.>
the first page article is nothing more then a statement on the game, and then they talk about benny and then they scream out whats in the package...... i'm not going to say what it is, some may know for those who don't i'm not saying, i was rather annoyed they just blurted it out.

the last 2 pages is a large image of a player taking on 3 wasps with a repeater i think, and waring tiger striped glasses?
bellow this is 3 images of guns, a pistol wich state under you can customize your guns to be powerfull or pretty.... (um are they serious or are they blowing smoke out their rears?)
nest a quick talk on casinos.... not much to say there, theres an image of the companion wheel they call it the wheel of fortune? and then they say under it are you naughty of nice....... (seriousely?)
a screen shot of a ghoul saying our real home awaits in the great beyond.
and player in vault 21 suit shooting what i think are golden geckos.

other then the new pictures i think they did a horrible job! they should beg for forgiveness!

yeah, that and this guy doesn't seem interested in this at all.
its really said because the magazine cover story is newvegas, big new vegas ncr soldier on the cover, and theres more details in their 3 page halo reach article then there is in the new vegas article.

I just figured it was the scans we couldnt discuss.

That said, It's an understandable shame Obsidian is air tight on NV secrecy ;_;

(the rules said do not posts scans or articles or copy out articles from magazines, i have not put down pictures of the article and i have not spent the time to copy the article down and post it.)
if thoes are golden gekos... i'm sad, i was hoping for eyeballs but they have these big golden domes were their eyes should be.

and i can belive that there are really going to be "bling" addons for guns.... i mean i don't feel like hunting down parts just to make my rocket launcher look like a pimp ordered it.

There aren't. The guy who said that was a moron.

If you look through some old articles (the Game Informer article at least with NCR Bad Ass on the Cover) you will see the mods for a pistol and a rifle listed.

The "bling" mod he was thinking of was likely either a Unique weapon, like the Virgin Mary Pistol http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Virgin_Mary_pistol

Here are the 9mm Pistol Mods http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/File:9mmPistolsAll.jpg

I'm fairly sure he was misconstruing the Virgin Mary Pistol as a Modded 9mm.

Here you can see all the Hunting Rifle Mods http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Hunting_Rifle_%28Fallout:_New_Vegas%29

yes the image above the quote you can customize your weapons for combat or looks is that virgin mary pistol.

and yes hes likly a moron, he put wheel of fortune as the quote on the companion wheel then put the info text are you naughty or nice?

they probably have these magazine laying all over best buy by now if they are sending them to reward zone members, so you guys can probably run down and take a peek inside and see what i mean.

I found the screens to be unforgivingly.....droll. Nothing most of this forum would likely care for. However, one cannot be to picky over what new info we receive.

Droll? The Geckos and Cazadors looked great, and the screens of Repcon, love or hate, were a pretty far cry from boring...

I found those to be a bit strange, the Gecko we've already seen in Screenshots and E3 vids, Cazadors seen. Repcon....odd. But maybe it's the screen shots lighting.

In related news, you can now get http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?type=category&id=pcmcat218300050036 if you pre-order at Best Buy.*

Looks like you don't get them if you already pre-ordered through Best Buy. You might be able to cancel your pre-order and re-order. If I get more information, I'll let you know.

interesting lol, its actually old news somewhat, i saw the pack in store and it said only available for in store pre orders, looks like they decided to spread it to the online preorders as well, lol!

since yah took kmart's exclusive, away are they going to get a dlc pack as well now?
