The Reverend Posted 22 October 2010 Share Posted 22 October 2010 I've put a good number of hours into this now, as I got it yesterday (thankyou ShopTo!) and I have to say it is superb. Is it massively different to Fallout 3? Not massively. Is that a bad thing? Hell no! Its more of the same with add-ons which if you loved Fallout 3 as much as I did, then you'll be as happy as I am! I cant stop playing it and i've not even reached Vegas yet! Anyway, see ya later, I have Fallout to play! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a quality game mate, I think we talked in the same thread about Fallout 3 a couple of years ago. Proper nightmare though, but definately worth the challenge. Not looking forward to finding a DeathClaw out in the open... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 23 October 2010 Author Share Posted 23 October 2010 This is top drawer as I expected. Have put in a measly 3 hours but it's all good. No sign of any glitches or bugs but there has been a few instances of tearing during VATS sequences. Nothing too bad though - yet. I saved Ringo in Goodliffe? (starting town) and am now idolised there. Headed out to Primm which is now where I'm at. Downloaded Star Wars Unleashed 2 during gameplay on this. Came out of Fallout for a bit and put the demo through its paces. Impressive demo. Very impressive. Expensive month ahead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 23 October 2010 Author Share Posted 23 October 2010 I need someone to tell me the in's and out's of caravan. I don't get it. Perhaps if I read the rules... Anybody win a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 24 October 2010 Share Posted 24 October 2010 I can't resist getting this game. Went to Hamilton Tesco but they hadn't got any free Microsoft points with it so I told them where to stick it This within the next week hopefully, and then Fable 3 as well. Then Football Manager 2011, then Black Ops. Its not enough time. I almost don't want to get Fallout: New Vegas, because then I will save £10-£37 (providing I get it cheaper or borrow it at a later date) and still get time to play my other games.

New England Fox Posted 24 October 2010 Share Posted 24 October 2010 My sleep routine has gone from about 8 hours a night down to about 5 hours a night thanks to this game. I'm so tired but I cant stop playing it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav_LCFC Posted 24 October 2010 Share Posted 24 October 2010 The loading time on this game suck Takes me about 2mins to load a area up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 25 October 2010 Share Posted 25 October 2010 The loading time on this game suck Takes me about 2mins to load a area up. My mate was having that problem, it was taking him well over 3/4 minutes he said, whereas the rest of us in the party were loaded within 15 seconds. Try dashboarding your console or rebooting it. Also install the game to your HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend_in_blue Posted 25 October 2010 Author Share Posted 25 October 2010 The loading time on this game suck Takes me about 2mins to load a area up. Download to the HDD. 15 secs tops. Interestingly, when you head back into the wasteland, 6 secs tops. Anyone tried caravan yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwell Pablo Posted 25 October 2010 Share Posted 25 October 2010 Played for about 3 hours I think, good, althogh apparently it is full of bugs although I can't say I've seen any yet. Couldn't be bothered with Hardcore mode find the game hard enough as it is! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 27 October 2010 Author Share Posted 27 October 2010 I ended up at Primm and rescued the old sheriff guy from the NCF prison nearby. Then I got sidetracked, I know this is not a difficult thing to do, and ended up doing some side missions for the Powder Gang leader bloke. I went back to Primm and the NCF start shooting at me! So I have now shot all the NCF guys at Primm. So I don't know how this mission will carry on in Primm now everyone is dead! Wait and see! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You rescue the sheriff in Primm from the Powder Gangers not the NCR. So you completed a side quest for the NCR against the Powder Gangers, then went and did side quests for the Power Gangers which kills your reputation with the NCR. So you played off both factions against each other and now the NCR hates you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you played off both factions against each other and now the NCR hates you. Indeed. To rectify the situation I overran the compound with the NC and quoting someone from the game "Eddie is a deadie". Picked up a decent plasma gun from Eddie as a result. I have now won 3 games of Caravan too! Worth 10AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
