Agreed

Shan't watch any media on this one, want it to be as much of a surprise as possible.

I will say that the video is a nice find though but I had to stop a few seconds in. Brakes on!

Yep, me too. It's really bloody difficult though.

*must not get on the hype train

I know surprisingly little about this new game. Not seen many vids other than official trailers and haven't read any previews or other articles. Games should be as much of a surprise as possible. The novelty lasts much longer that way.

EDIT: Just to add... I bought a strategy guide with FO3 but won't be doing the same for Vegas. I gave in way too early and I think it spoiled some of the game for me. Going to find things out for myself this time round. When you know something is already there or you can see the game's scope or limitations, it ruins much of the excitement and mystery.

Argh just watched some of the Leaked Video #2 - it looks ****ing amazing. Next weekend booked off for this.

I'm guessing even if the pre-orders are dispatched early, you won't be able to play until the 22nd?

Next weekend is sorted :cool:

Same! All I know is what's been posted here in the threads on the forums.

Never saw the appeal of knowing everything about the games before you get to play them

I shall not be at my 'main box' when this comes out (I have it pre-loaded on Steam already) - but whence I return I shall play it continuously no doubt, Im still playing Fallout 3...

The Collectors Edition appears to be pretty cool, if little pricey at £50.

I was watching that Fallout New Vegas video posted above but then spotted this comment and immediately stopped! Good point...might as well enjoy it in full screen when we get the game for ourselves!!

Im not even halfway through Fallout 3 so will be a while before I get New Vegas..when the GOTY comes out!!

Argh didn't know they were releasing that - I'm not usually a nerd for that sort of thing but would have made an exception for this

Pre-load done, sitting in my games list taunting me because I can't play it yet.

That's my view too. As soon as I know I'll like a game I dont read any previews, watch any trailers or read any reviews before release.

I prefer to have an experience untainted by spoilers or preconceptions.

Anyone know what time it'll actually be unlocked through Steam on the 22nd at all? Might have to book a half dayer if it's in the morning

I_M_Weasel · 18 Oct 2010 at 10:19

Anyone know the size of the game world? Smaller, as big or bigger than FO3?

iamtheoneneo · 18 Oct 2010 at 10:23

Its about the same size as FO3 and the city of vegas is a bit smaller than Washington DC was in FO3.

I_M_Weasel · 18 Oct 2010 at 10:39

Not a big city fan but like the wasteland so that suits me.

tuftyfella · 18 Oct 2010 at 11:13
