The Sadness

[ZEGH8578]

While everyone else complained that Fallout New Vegas and Fallout 3 had "almost identical" graphics, and were angry about it

to me they could not have been identical enough.

it lags terribly, and it turns out i need just a tad bit more cpu to run it.
a tad bit

["couldbecousin"]

Can you get that tad bit, and thus be restored to happiness?

thats so sad. or not, who cares? video games are for teenagers. how old are you? 30? 35?

in theory of course. in practice i am headed for a new wait

this is how my cycle goes:
Game 1 is out.
/Cant get it.
Gets computer.
Game 2 is out.
/Cant get it.
Gets game 1!

Gets new computer.
Game 3 is out.
/Cant get it.
Gets game 2!

and so forth

Are you kidding me? There's a massive market for adult gamers. They're the ones with the money.

35 and loves her video games thankyouverymuch

Zegh - Good to see you again. And that would severely piss me off!!

its my luck too, i always had in the "back of my head" that the game would be outta my league - cus - they usually are.
like when buttercup mentioned civ 5, im not even looking for it.
in fact, i downloaded cig 4 again, and even that is sortof slow :/

fallout 3 runs on medium graphics tho, and runs _smoooooth_, so i REALLY thought that FOVegas would at least run.
well it did run
but soooo terribly slowly. at first i thought it was a quite famous FPS-problem, but i tried all the fixes, and then i realized its the cpu

I would have had a meltdown. Things like that are the tipping point for me.

its clooose for me too
i spent two brave nights looking for fixes, and it paiiiined me to finally give up and delete it. i cant affort to waste diskspace...

im so sick of mediocre computer power tho
my 1st computer was _top notch_ when i first got it, i slammed game settings on max, max, max and didnt appreciate the luxury at all
sooo took it for granted
i remember playing hitman on full max graphics. then when hitman 2 game out, i was shocked to have to slide the graphics down a tad bit

from there on it only went downwards
this computer is "new" from my dads work, so it runs old-ish games like fallout 2 and oblivion, at medium to rock bottom graphics

I do feel for you. I was looking forward to playing Fallout: New Vegas for months. I would have been devastated if it hadn't worked well for me. Although it does lag slightly in a few areas.

Over the last 6 months or so, I've really got into computer games. I played them a lot up until I was around 14 and then I stopped. Recently, I've became really into them again.

I  the game. I  Fallout 3, and I  Obilivion: Elder Scrolls. I like the similarity between the games. It saves me from having to learn new controls, and get used to a whole new feel.

I'm 20 and I  computer games, and I don't think I'll grow out of them any time soon.

I'm Butterflies, not Buttercup. Where I live Buttercup is a name given to a cow.

ahah! sorry

as for the similarity between the games, you know they run on the exactly same engine
people complained about it, but your right about the controls

altho, i waited for FO3 since FO2.
FO2 was back in 1997 i think
so obviously i waited for.. primarily a much different game
it was gonna look like this:
no 3D, but an improvement of the original FO1 and FO2 style.

FO NV was made by that very same team (who originally went bankerupt and sold FO3)
they re-implemented all the scrapped ideas from the original FO3 into NV, making NV - to many old fans - a "more real" FO3

i am SO saddened!
if you find the ".223 pistol" send me a friendly thought, it was my favorite gun of FO2, and i was sooo looking foreward to NV for that. and the geckos! i got to see the geckos but it was of course too slow to tolerate...

New Vegas runs fine for me, but I had to tweak some settings to get there (using an outdated 7900GTS dx9 file etc.). It seems to be a bug if anything that's aimed towards NVIDIA cards. PCs with ATI cards would run it fine.

yes. my card is ATI, i noticed people w nvidia had graphics issues.
i spent two nights hoping like a hero that somehow i could circumvent whatever was messing up, but nope. had to bite the dust

one "pointer" to me was that no matter the graphics setting, the game was just as slow. if it was a graphics issue, there should have been some difference in performance, sliding the graphics all down to nothing, (far below my FO3 settings) but nope.
i guess it was obvious from the start, but i really wanted to be wrong

I haven't gotten Fallout New Vegas, I'll either wait until it gets a reduced price or maybe I'll try to pirate it. Fallout 3 ran pretty good on my computer with just about everything on max except for the antialiasing and anisotropic filtering which were set to none. I have an AMD Athlon 4800+ X2 (2.5Ghz) dual core CPU, 3GB DDR2 RAM, and an EVGA nVidia 9500 GT 1GB GPU. Maybe that would run New Vegas pretty good as well?

i think you could run it okay.

im so SICK of this tho i want a top notch computer, NOW, i want oblivion on TOP graphics ive never even seen fallout 3 on highest graphics. never seen it

i played oblivion on max settings at my brothers, on a wide screen tv.
do you think i appreciated the experience? NOPE.
took it for granted
