The post-apocalyptic Fallout universe expands into Nevada in this new title in the franchise. As a courier once left for dead by a mysterious man in a striped suit, the player must now set out to find their assailant and uncover the secrets of the enigmatic ruler of New Vegas.
Considering the sheer amount of issues with this unfinished game, any site/mag that lists it as a contender for GOTY has to be really big tools or sell outs.
I'll wait for the patch after this one and hopefully it'll be in a beta status.
@Lind_L_Taylor: I think we are in general agreement.It would be very interesting to see how things went in production. I have a making of DVD in the box set but I don't think it is going to show the interesting stuff. You talk about money and time but they must have a ton of the former as they have now shipped 5mil copies. I think maybe the engine is so poor that no matter how long they took they wouldn't iron out all the bugs and making such a huge complicated world needs far more players than is practicable in QC to find them all - which is why many are coming out now when they have the whole gaming community as their QC. I seem to remember Red Dead having to patch for problems as well so maybe its just very difficult in open world games. On another point - what's with your formatting - it makes every post look like a poem.
I've not really had too many bugs in the first 25 hours, to be honest: I couldn't get the Legion to take me to Cesar initially, but it worked after a reboot; I can't recruit Cass as I have "too many followers" even without any followers; and Boone has clipped through a well once or twice. Hardly game breaking.

I think I'll have to write a blog about the origins of my writing style. lol. This is the only forum that makes me apprehensive about it. Stay tuned!
5 million copies sold? Wow. Hope that means Obsidian will be able to make some better games. I'm still holding out that the Aliens RPG will be brought back out of the closet.
