Was he the guy who made that Mod? I hope they paid him for all the old iron-sights. That would be epic.Kuchinawa212 said:

In MW2 the tutorial level has you aiming down your sights A LOT as commanded by Sgt. Foley.
"Aim down your sights to..."
"by aiming down your sights you'll..." and so on
He honestly sounded like he was talking like Yahtzee for a minute, there, but I guess he had limited time.
I have to say, I was really more apprehensive about this than I was about Fallout 3; I loved Fallout 3's combat system and I felt the NMA forums could go die in a fire, but since New Vegas was being made by a new company, I thought they might mess with the general combat quite a bit.
But it's good to know that it'll be mostly the same experience as Fallout 3, in terms of both combat and setting, and I for one am definitely shelling out $59.99 when it comes out, if not more for the Collectors' edition.

Mmmmkay? And The Pitt, Mothership Zeta, Broken Steel, Point Lookout, and all the others didnt add new sections of America? With completely new story? Or at least, they added on to it.Flying-Emu said:
Also, the whole 40 hours of gameplay thing doesnt sell me on it either. I can get 40 hours of gameplay out of just one fucking mod to Fallout 3.
Yeah. Still not really understanding it.
*Sigh* The thing is, is that New Vegas seems just like a fucking mod to Fallout 3. OOoooOOOH! New characters, storyline, weapons and monsters! Well guess what? Mods and DLC do that too:Pugiron said:

There. Five Fallout 3 mods for your pleasure. Each adds monsters, characters, weapons and new parts of the world.
Ohhh yes. Tell me that mods cannot accomplish what New Vegas can. Tell me one more time.
So still, I stand by my opinion. New Vegas has brought nothing exceptional to the plate in my eyes. Unless they do an entire graphical re-haul, and all sorts of other shit, then I'm not sold on it.

You seem to be forgetting that all of those pieces of DLC added sections of America on the East Coast and Mideast, whereas New Vegas takes place in NEVADA. To have it as DLC for Fallout 3, they would need to create the ENTIRETY of the Midwest as well, including the Rockies and the vast, interesting expanse of Colorado.
There's a reason this isn't DLC. Something tells me, however, that you won't change your mind. What could it be...
Oh, there it is. Look, guy, you can whinge about how mods add just as much gameplay as a potential game, but the fact is, most mods suck. Even things that only add sections to a world mostly suck. You can say that mods add EXACTLY what New Vegas is adding, but the fact is, 90% of players don't want to wade through the shit to find the very few good mods that exist for any game. I own Oblivion, and have downloaded countless mods and add-ons for the game. 90% of them suck, even the ones that just "add monsters, characters, weapons, and new parts of the world."IxionIndustries said:
You also seem to be forgetting that they're modifying the VATS system and improving UI. As for your comment about graphical re-haul, all I have to say to that is this.
Lawl.
But since this thread isn't about convincing you to buy New Vegas, I'll leave you to your inane chatter.

Also, the video doesn't seem to show us much that we don't already know. I mean, everything in there has been described in meticulous detail by Game Informer, IGN, The Escapist...

Gameplay is the sun and Story is the moon.
Without the light from said sun the life of all video-games, aka the gameplay, games would'nt be well games. But one should never under-estimate the power of the story aka the moon of a game. Said moon is what pulls you to continue onward with a game by subtly using its gravatationl pull of characters, general plot, atmosphere, and setting to control the tides that is the want for a player to continue onward.
For the Fallout series said moon is a distinct blend of dark and pop humor and a blend of optimistic (a tone I wish more post apocalyptic tales would have) retrofuturism with pessimistc grim and gritty science gone awry and while the third one nails the last two down (more or less), it fails to capture those first two bits that fans of the series see as the series's emblem mark. Like how all JRPG's have teenaged heroes who are either male and ambigiously female or female and ambiguously male. Or how all western RPG'S have protaganists standing reverently on the edge of a cliff or mountain looking at some countryside or city scape below.
