X-Play preview tomorrow.

Post » Thu Feb 10, 2011 12:09 am

frankly i dont really care what its about...these previews are like a fix for a junkie....me being the junkie. if they just showed some random montage of game footage while Chris Avellone says "New Vegas New Vegas New Vegas" like a robot for 20 minutes i'd STILL watch it, and probly record it and watch it again.

ok that might be extreme but i think it illustrates how anxious i am....next tuesday can't come soon enough

I will probably watch it and spoil myself to the quest.

Hopefully its a small beginning quest though.


My will is not strong.

I watch the dev diaries religiously, almost every day, about 3 times each diary.
If each one is approximatively 5 minutes long, and there are four out now. Than that is about one hour each day devoted to the same linear gameplay.

The only thing more awkward than robot six is tyrannosaurus six (seriously, can you picture them courting and then mating? O.O)
I would love to have the Tommy gun confirmed but i am really interested in towns and settlements, what the wasteland living areas are like since there are standing buildings.

Well, it's not like targeting other body parts (except the eyes, yay blindness) had any use in the old Fallouts. :P
Of course it did.

Crippling an opponent's leg had serious affect on their ability to move in on you; Melee fighters became human shields that could not attack for a few turns while they tried to limp into range. (Especially those most dangerous melee fighters ~Deathclaws)

A low scoring critical to the head did double damage, but the same score when targeting the leg would do 1? times damage and knock the opponent down.
Crippling an arm stops them from using 2 handed weapons and gives them a penalty for one handed ones, crippling both means they can only do unarmed attacks (:rolleyes:)


Hitting the arms would reduce their ability to hit back. Hitting their groin was also a way to make it personal (something that doesn't exist in FO3).
*Someone shoots my dog, they get hit with a super sledge and usually pass out.

The various targets all had critical damage tables that added to the injury. (these effects include crippling, damage multipliers, instant death, knockdowns, knocked unconscious, stunned (turn loss), blinded, and various stat checks that might add more effects if you fail them).

**In fact I used to knock out opponents with the intention of unloading their guns and stealing their ammo; when they woke up, they wasted time shooting at me, and then had no ammo to reload. Try that in Fallout 3. :evil:

We know what it is now. It's a walkthrough of a quest.

Just saw the video. It's a spoiler for one side quest related to a specific location on the Vegas Strip, the Ultra-Luxe. It's a visual and verbal walk-through of the 'evil' way to complete the quest. So it only shows one possible solution but the video implied there are a number of solutions (and it looks to me at the very least there's a 'good' way of doing it.) It gives you a pretty clear run down of the location and the faction behind it, so if you don't want to be spoiled for anything related to the Strip or its Hotels/Casinos then you'd better dodge this one.

There was also a pretty noticeable graphical glitch towards the end of the demonstration.

I'm pretty sure this wasn't even the fully evil way to complete it.

Nothing too surprising really. But as a fallout fan, i am just glad that there are new people and new quests. Its all that matters to me.

The only thing to do now is to wait.

wait

I watched it... can I unwatch it now? anyone got a rewind?

(luckily I usually play good characters, so the chances of being offered that quest are minimal)

It sounds like something I just may want to record and watch on another day. Thanks for the heads-up. :dance:

!SPOILER! http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/707998/Fallout-New-Vegas-The-Glove-Society-Mission-Exclusive-Look---Fallouts-Darkest-Quest-Ever.html !SPOILER!

That said, I found the choice to show off the dark way to do the quest dumb, and holly hell, that quest is just dark.

Edit: I love the Securitron personalities and their voices. :cryvaultboy:

Lucky bastard, some of us have to wait till the 22nd.

Anyways, nice vid. Good to know you can take some nasty evil actions.

Cons;
-not enough people around, places feel empty.
-floating gambler lady, wth
