So what does everyone plan to do first in the vast Mojave Wasteland? Or will you go test your luck at the strip?!

Me? I'm gonna go exploring, see how big this world really is! I'm gonna try and not touch the main quest for as long as I can.

Make my character and start doing story missions until I find some side quests to do. That's how I did it in Fallout 3. I didn't go exploring until I had some good weapons and equipment. And with New Vegas, I'll need to gather some food and water so I don't starve to death.

Sounds good. Turning on the Hardcore Mode sure sounds very fun and realistic, can't wait to play it.

I am going to start the game, crank up my surround sound and check out what Obsidian has done in the Fallout world :)

Probably do the main quest the first few missions and then explore and do a few side missions 8)

I can remember the day that Fallout1 came out.. my lord was I blown away by that game the first time I started it up ;)

OK> SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN: - This is a standalone game right? - But it plays like Fallout 3 and uses the same engine? - But it's from another company? - Do I need to know the story of Fallout 3 or it's expansions? - What's the story in this one? - If I didn't like Fallout 3 (couldn't get into the shooting RPG style gameplay), will I like this one?

-Yes.

-I believe it uses the same engine, but will include new gameplay elements, like much improved FPS style combat, taking reliance off V.A.T.S.

-Yes. Different company than who made Fallout 3

-Nope. All you've got to know is that the world is in a state of almost complete nuclear annihilation.

-It's set in Vegas obviously. The main story line is somewhat unknown (at least to my knowledge), but it will more than likely have a main quest as well as many side tasks.

-Possibly. As I stated before, the FPS part of the game has been revamped and the need to use V.A.T.S. is reduced. The gunplay in this game will feel slightly more like a FPS style game compared to Fallout 3.

I predict it'll get a 9.0 from GS, but you should wait and see the review if you are unsure about buying still, as they usually include lots of gameplay for you to check out.

Yup, pretty much this. I'd also like the add that Obsidian implemented "iron sight" for the gunplay. You can hold down the iron sight and aim like in military FPS games. I believe that's what he was trying to say when he said " the FPS part of the game has been revamped..." Personally, I wasn't a big fan of V.A.T.S. although it was a new gimmick that actually worked well. When I played Fallout 3, I hardly used it though, but it was fun using it along with a big gun weapon, like the Fat Man. I also predict a 9.0, nothing lower than 8.5.

I felt I needed VATS at the beginning cause my gun was shooting everywhere even though I aimed correctly....this is mostly what got me off Fallout 3....
