I hope the developers of Fallout: New Vegas aren't going to try to pull the same thing that a few other games have done recently.

What I am talking about is P2P. I mean, for two games that I have recently acquired (you'd know which ones if this happened to you), you get 10-50 hours of play, and once you use up that time, you have to pay for membership or DLC. I certainly hope that isn't the case with New Vegas.

For Fallout 3, I put in a mind-boggling 411 hours of play on one character, if you include the DLC, which wasn't too expensive anyways. My other characters had around 40-50 hours, and I recall having 2 or 3 others. So I put in a great many of hours in Fallout 3, because it had an extraordinary replay value. If New Vegas can yield this many hours, or even CLOSE, I would be happy with the game. That is what you should get with a game that costs $60.00 USD.

tl;dr: I hope this game actually gives you $60.00 worth of play.


Also, this is my first post. Hello to everyone in the community.

Since it's basically Fallout 3 on roids I doubt that'll be a problem.

Thank you for that very disturbing image in my head. :cold:

You couldn't have just typed steroids? :blink:

It should be fine.

Maybe he meant hemroids :yuck:

Well that's basically what everyone thought when "a certain game that came out like 2 weeks ago set in the 1940s" came out, but you only get 10 hours of play and no free roam.

Which game?

No, sir. You see I have a rare medical condition. Trying to press the "s" the "t" and the "e" keys respectively in succession leads to very violent convulsions.

I dont have the slightest clue what games you are talking about....? Fallout isn't an MMO so I dont really understand the concern

Sounds like a MMORPG to me

On-Topic: F:NV will not have membership fees but it will most likely have DLCs however they are not forced upon you.

FONV isn't an MMO RPG so you won't have to pay anything after buying the game

APB and Mafia II

APB? APB was an MMO.

Welcome to the forums Crown. Here have a http://www.uesp.net/w/images/images.new/c/c4/Fishystick.jpg

And I hope FO:NV was worth the $100 dollars I had to pay for the CE.... :glare:

As for the DLC there will be plenty but I'm used to that by now. I'll buy the "GOTY" or whatever edition when it comes out since I don't have Xbox LIVE.

Also, welcome to the forums. I think someone around here gives out fishy sticks still...

Edit: Disregard that last sentence, ninja'd by Davor.

Yeah, but it said nowhere on the box or in the manual that you have to pay after you pay. So I paid $50.00 for 50 hours of laggy, aimbot-infested play.

if its made by bethesda the only thing anyone should worry about is what to blow up first.

There is no online component to this game, other than Activation. There is nothing for Steam or Behesda or Obsidian to charge for after purchase the game.

The only thing you have to pay for after you get the game is any DLCs that you may decide to get. Those are optional to the game and not required for play.

You can play as long as you want or your spouse will let you without paying any on going or continuation fee.

Right, Mafia II wasn't connected online in any way other than Xbox Live, which isn't required. They only gave you 9 hours of play then you had to buy DLC to make the game worth it.

The trend is to gimp games, so that people buy the DLC to complete games. But this isn't the case for Fallout New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas is strictly Single Player. At most, you may have preordered and have to log on to your XBox Live account to recieve the bonus equipment, like the Mercenary or Native Pack. Even then, you just have to connect your console to a modem. No extra fees or even currently available DLC if you HAD the extra cash.

The trend is to gimp games because schedules have deadlines. People get so upset at cut content showing up in DLC, they seem to completely gloss over cut content back in the cartridge days. That never made it to DLC because DLC didn't exist at the time.

And, what does that have to do with Fallout New Vegas?

I can honestly say I don't know what you are talking about, I have never seen this. I feel that this wont happen though as Bethesda is definitely more fan oriented than allot of game companies.
