Does anybody know if New Vegas will be GFWL enabled so I can still get my achievements if I play it on the PC?

Thanks guys.

No, it will be using Steam instead (which, I believe, also has an achievement system)

Psshhhh that's useless! I want my achievements for my XBL Gamertag, looks like I'll have to shell out for both version so after I've completed it all I can go super crazy with mods.

GFWL is bad...... get steam instead....

I'm sure obsidian will be glad to sell you two copies of the same game.

I feel like I need to ask, but do you really, truly, feel the need to purchase 2 copies so you can contribute to your meaningless gamer score? I mean, I'm all for Obsidian/Beth getting more money for an awesome game, but I just don't get it.

I like getting achievements, not for gamerscore, but because it means I actively explore every little nook and cranny which I may overlook without the incentive of going there, so that's why I'd like GFWL, obviously that isn't going to happen so I'll buy it for 360.

I also love downloading mods for Oblivion and Fallout 3 which means I will also buy it for PC, if it were GFWL enabled I would only have to buy it once which would be nice but if I have to buy it twice then so be it. I have no problem giving double the money to a company that makes games I love, if I were rich I would actively sponsor some of my favourite games companies.

Steam has achievements.

Yeah but they won't register on my gamertag and I like having them on that because I don't know many people who play PC games and with them on my XBL gamertag I can much easier compare and talk to friends about them.

Games for Windows Live was a POS, good riddance. I'm happy for Steam

i may not understand your sentiments at all but [censored] if i don't respect them all the same. good on you, bro.

I am not, I really liked GFWL for Fallout 3 because I could use my Xbox Gamertag, just like the OP.

edit: nm

GFWL was utter crap. It got in the way, didn't work, hid your saves and DLC in stupid locations and generally was a pain in the ass.


It's not worth being able to link your XBL gamertag to a PC game.

GFWL - R.I.P.

Steam? Staying with a real disc, don't need achievements.

On the plus side, though, you could disable and ignore it. The rest of it svcked hard, though.
