Fallout: New Vegas

It's out now.

My first impression? Game of the year. I am honestly very pleased with Fallout New Vegas.

I LOVED Fallout 3, but I do not deny it was lacking. It wasn't as immersive as it could be, and admittedly it felt barren even in the towns. New Vegas seems to fix this!

Right away I see hints at the ability to modify weapons, cook food, create medicine with a chemical set, and all sorts of things that were only possible through mods in Fallout 3. Not only that, but the "hardcore" mode creates a larger sense of immersion, with the need to eat, drink, and sleep.

I have only played the introduction but I'm very pleased.

As an added bonus, it runs TWICE AS GOOD ON MY COMPUTER AS FALLOUT 3 DID. It's optimized, and it's overall better in every way. The initial cutscene is pre-rendered, so it's not a strain on my poor computer, and the introduction is somewhat clever (filling out medical forms to decide your class).

This is no official review, but so far I think this is a great game. I'm incredibly excited to play it further.

I'm very disappointed I won't be playing it. I recently I played FO3 and I've been in love with it ever since. Money issues FTL...

THIS IS THE CYBER POLICE, PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE 'EM!

In all seriousness, I'd only consider torrenting because I don't have a DVD drive, and then only if Skullptura did a rip of it. Trying to download from anyone else is just a pain in the ass.

I don't think you understand how any of this works. I doubt Skullptura will even touch it, they don't do any games with Steamworks. You want SKiDROW.
