Dude, RPS slammed it: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2010/10 ... -obsidian/ Precisely what I expected. All they had to develop was a mod, and they failed at that. |

Well they didn't slam it, they said they're having fun but that there were technical issues (like I said above). As long as my PC doesn't lock up or crashes every minute I can live with that if the game is fun. Anyway, we'll see I suppose. I bought it already.

ars technica did a review... mostly positive, except the bugs, which are apparently really annoying. http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2 ... review.ars |

Already two patches released for the PC version.  Still, they're communicating very openly about it, which is refreshing. Not that I'd expect Obsidian to do anything else than care a lot about New Vegas given how many former Black Isle peeps they have aboard (almost all of them, actually).http://www.rpgwatch.com/#16013 RPS has also published a review slagging off the game, which was met with an almost record-breaking response of people who couldn't believe their ears as they enjoyed the game a lot. It was a bizarre turnaround from the usual situation: reviewer praises game, comments thread hates on game + reviewer. Anyway, given that the vast majority of reviews is very postive and most (even critical) people I've heard like it, I'm not too worried except for the bugs. |

I want to remark that Derf actually bought the game just now.  Apparently.I'm preparing myself for a crushing review. |

Haha, yeah. I was intrigued by all the positive comments. The overall sentiment is that it's better than FO3, which is good cos I heavily disliked FO3. But anyway, I kinda need a single player game right now. Civ IV is crashing on me, which outlines the general problem with releasing games in basic form, or generally incomplete. I don't think it's healthy for developers to release games prematurely, hoping that modders will add real meat to the title and therefore USE them to drive sales. It's unhealthy because large mods are typically unstable, unpolished and unsupported. |

Please note that Derf is buying Fallout: New Vegas, a buggy game, in order to get away from Civ V because of the bugs. The logic is... compelling. So Ox, have you started playing yet or what? I was kinda holding out to see what you thought, but you've been holding out like an Israeli whore during Yom Kippur. |
