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 :'(

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  :pinkbeat: the game. I  :pinkbeat: Fallout 3, and I  :pinkbeat: 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.

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

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



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 :/


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

ahah! sorry :D

as for the similarity between the games, you know they run on the exactly same engine :D
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 :D
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! :D
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 :D but it was of course too slow to tolerate...

I knew they used the same game engine. That was why I downloaded Fallout 3. I loved Elder Scrolls, and when I heard about Fallout 3 having the same engine I had to play it. If I find a .233 I will think of you as I blow some fuckers out of existance :laugh:

I know about the cancelled Fallout 3. It was called Van Buren, and it's possible to download a demo of it on Pirate Bay. I was going to download it, but it's supposed to be very buggy, and so I couldn't be bothered with the hassle.

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?

Go on Mudkipz. Just pirate it. You know you want to. What's the point of paying good money for something you can get for free :)

butterflies: yes thats the same reason i left it alone. i wanted it so badly, and a buggy half finished version would only make me sad.

just like getting, installing, playing, and uninstalling FO NV made me sad :(

I suppose that makes it slightly better. I don't think I've ever bought a game in my life.

I have bought several PC games, like the dumbass I was. My biggest mistake was paying about 40 dollars for a digital download of Trainz Simulator 2010 Engineer's Edition. Oh my God, that was the worst piece of shit I have ever played. Installing and updating took literally hours, the game was very laggy on my computer, the graphics looked like a poorly done early PS2-era game, and the game was very easy to break. I just gave up on it after about a few days. Believe it or not, there's a community for this... yes... 10 gigabyte piece of shit! :zombiefuck:

But now, I think I'm gonna look around on FilesTube for a download of Fallout New Vegas. I do not use or even trust torrents. Now, I'm getting to the point where I don't even trust video game corporations anymore to entertain me for my money. I'm about ready to cancel my GameFly subscription for good and maybe sell my Xbox 360. Grand Theft Auto IV is the only reason to have one in the first place and quite frankly, I am sick and tired of it. ::)

I've never had problems with torrents. I've got just about every game from them.

I can't run GTA IV. I am so pissed off about that. That's why I can understand how upset Zegh is about not being able to play FO:NV. I spent days downloading GTA IV and couldn't make it run. I could've cried :'( . I really wanted that game so much.

i wanted GTA5 soooo badly
i got it, and was soooo happy

but i sickened of it surprisingly quickly.
and like all previous GTA games, i get to a certain mission, that i try and fail _more than 5 times_ thats my limit

if a game stops being FUN, i just wont play it anymore.
which sucks. now its taking up enormous space, and i cant really bring myself to delete it..

Butterflies, thats weird :S what do you lack? i can run GTA5 fine, but NOT fallout NV :S

Heh, at least you didn't pay for it. Now THAT would have sucked. I'm downloading F:NV now and maybe I'll have it up and running in several hours.

I strongly recommend blog hunting over torrenting. It's much faster and more secure, even if the files are split into a hundred parts and hosted on the worst download host sites.

I'm not a computer expert. I don't know what blog hunting is. Over here the government is trying to clamp down on file sharing, aand threatening to disconnect people who file-share. Is blog hunting a safe alternative to file sharing?

I can't download games on my own computer because I use a dongle, and I have a very limited amount of internet allowance, and my cousin takes up most of that with porn. I have to use my uncles computer to download games, and he's really paranoid that I'm going to get him into trouble for illegally downloading stuff from file-sharing networks, and so he limits the amount of games I can download. How do I do blog hunting, can I find most new games by blog hunting, and what makes it safer than using Pirate Bay?

Sorry if most of that makes no sense. I am drunk, and I've never heard of blog hunting.

I don't think it's a hardware issue. I think I probably don't have something installed that I need to run the game. It's been months since I tried installing it, so I'm trying again now, but it will be at least a good few minutes until it's installed.

I don't want to grow up. I hope I still like playing games when I'm 70. If life for me ever stops being about having fun, then I don't know what I'd do. I hate the thought of being mature. I'm happy enough to turn 21, but then I want to stay 21 for ever :laugh:

It's an xlive.dll issue for me, and I've tried all the solutions I could find on the internet, and nothing works. It looks like I'll be without it untill I get a new computer :'(

Why don't you just cheat?

first of all, i have this "rule" that i wont cheat gta, but yes i considered it

and cheats in gta are teeeeeeeedious long fucking numeral codes, and only give you guns.

i had all the guns i needed. guns wasnt an issue. i just cant stand the hyperactive pace of the game...
