    Lonesome Road Holotape #3

    As odd as it is to listen to all this symbolism, I really can't wait to see what the hell Ulysses is all about. He's certainly shaping up to be something rather unique.

    Lonesome Road trailer released

    I gotta say, except for the silly-looking combat scenes which seems to be par for the course for all Bethesda trailers, this trailer was pretty bad-ass. I dig the whole "everything is destroyed" vibe, the sorta western-ish set up with the Courier against Ulysses and the "mystary!1!!" aspect of...

    To me, Honest Hearts really wasn't that good...

    Honest Hearts has actually turned out to be my favorite DLC. Now, I would've gladly welcomed a bit more character interaction as well as more interesting quests in general. I *loved* that they opted to go for a fairly quiet experience, ditching the music in many areas. Fit the atmosphere of...

    Fallout: New Vegas Old World Blues Reviews Round-up #5

    I would agree with those who feel that the initial dialogue sequence is too long. I love dialogue in RPGs and I think the writing and acting in OWB is genuinely funny. But starting with a sequence like that (especially with how the convo system looks in these games, just staring at a face) is...

    GameBanshee reviews Old World Blues

    I found Old World Blues to be extremely funny but I also think it's a bit polarizing in itself. There's quite a lot of backstory in Old World Blues, many references and such. A lot of the writing and story is actually very clever. But it's a bit hard to take things seriously because of the...

    Fallout: New Vegas Old World Blues Reviews Round-up #1

    It's honestly getting pretty weird to me how much I disagree with reviewers. I liked Old World Blues but I feel it's the worst NV DLC so far and would've scored the other two higher than the scores they generally got.

    Old World Blues trailer

    I really don't know what to make of this... at all. Love the trailer on its own but I just can't relate this to Fallout at all. Even with the whole 50s vibe. Not doing it for me. Really hoping the DLC will offer more than silly lulz left and right.

    Old World Blues releasing on July 19th

    Annoying that they threw out the June thing earlier on and (of course) only tell us now that it's coming next month instead. Though, while I've greatly enjoyed the previous two DLCs and really look forward to Lonesome Road, I'm pretty lukewarm about Old World Blues so far.

    Old World Blues Qore Footage

    Here is the Old World Blues segment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsyjtYqF0aU&feature=player_embedded Chris says there that this focuses more on the dark humor of Fallout. Some of the stuff in the video is a bit too lulzy for me personally but hopefully they'll hit a nice tone with it...

    An open letter to Obsidian Entertainment

    I don't think developers should be excused from releasing buggy games and Obsidian have certainly been guilty of that. However, I think the reputation is kinda getting out of proportion at times. Or at least, like it's been pointed out before, people are often quick at jumping at OEIs throats...

    Fallout: New Vegas Honest Hearts Trailer and Screenshots

    Really liked the trailer overall though I think it's always lame that they devolve into "holy shit action sequences". Just doesn't work well with the engine. But I love the voiceover especially, and I like theme of the Burned Man sitting there reloading shit or whatever he's doing. I agree...

    Your "WTF" moments in NV playthroughs

    There is another named NPC in the North Vegas square who starts a small series of quests. Can't recall his name at the moment.

    Fallout: New Vegas Patch 1.3 released for PC

    I've also started up a new playthrough but I haven't noticed a *huge* difference. The biggest one was probably the raiders between Nipton and Novac occasionally having Grenade Rifles which can *really* hurt you badly. Also, I seemed to have a tougher time with the convicts in the Bison Steve...

    Bethesda details DLC plans, Honest Hearts coming 17th May

    Josh just mentioned on the somethingawful forums that he's the project director on Honest Hearts while Avellone is project director on Old World Blues and The Lonesome Road.

    Bethesda details DLC plans, Honest Hearts coming 17th May

    Yeah, one thing that's nice about DLCs is that they can try some different stuff with it and I think they definitely will do that. Dead Money was rather uniquely designed and I think they'll try to continue that trend of making each one feel different. Honest Hearts sounds nice in its set-up...

    The REAL prize of Dead Money

    I just finished a second playthrough of Dead Money and I gotta say that I really enjoy it. If we take it at a straight story/companion interaction level then it's really top-notch stuff. The companions are extremely well-written and also very well acted. Dead Domino in particular is just very...

    New Vegas patch on Monday, details

    If you read the post on the Beth forums, it says that there are indeed optimizations and bug fixes. They just listed only the balance changes (for whatever reason).

    New Vegas patch on Monday, details

    Jason Bergman posted that the PC patch will arrive on Monday. Console gamers will get it "soon", depending on Sony/Microsoft's stamp of approval. He goes on to list the balance tweaks.<blockquote>Guns: Automatic Guns - SMGs, the Assault Carbine, and the LMG are more accurate across the board...

    Press event hints at possible DLC announcement this week

    I've almost been wondering if these DLCs will be more tightly connected story-wise as well, like episodes almost. Though that will probably not be the case (though I'm sure there'll be plenty references like we saw in Dead Money). I think they'll keep these on a tighter release schedule and...

    Your "WTF" moments in NV playthroughs

    Probably my first encounter with Cazadores. Was around the general area between Novac and Boulder City, there's an area where you can see the Cazadores from the main highway. Saw them zooming back and forth and thought that I have to try fighting them. Aimed a few shots their way, saw that I...
