Fallout: New Vegas bets on Ultimate Edition

Annoying considering I just bought this game a couple of weeks before they announced this edition.

I thought about buying this game since the innumerable glitches from Fallout: New Vegas that I bought in Oct 2010 made it impossible to enjoy. One year and 3 patches later and users are still complaining that the game needs MORE fixing. This is a re-release of an extremely buggy game. Check out the comments at bethesda.com. Nothing but complaints about bugs

right now on steam you can get all the dlc and the game for $15!

Damn! i was hoping it would be released at Xmas. I'll have to get a dog for xmas instead! The new release date is dangerously close to Valentine's Day. I want the game but I also want to keep my wife.......

I'll race you for 34.92% by Feb :P Seems like a worthy purchase. But, like Fred said a few comments down...fix those bugs first.

Hmm only problem is that by february I'll probably be only 25% through my first skyrim playthrough...

woot! i have all of this already but it also means that fallout 4 is coming :)

Instead of releasing a GOTY edition, how about you fix all of those bugs first?

The Most Worst thing about falllout is the walking.Half of the game is spent by just walking..It feels sooooo boring.

@Rocker6 I was surprised when Fallout 3 ended with me a dead hero and nowhere to go. They should have given some indication. As it was I never played any of the DLC because it would have been simply anticlimactic.

I wonder if the extras will be on disc like fallout 3 goty or download code like borderlands goty.

Crap. I just bought this game two days ago because I gave up on an Ultimate Edition.

I want to wait for Skyrim Ultimate Edition too but I don't think I can wait that long..

In other news, sky still blue. Tune in for more obvious forecasts later!

That is why I never buy a game on the release date and also why I'm not getting Skyrim this year.

@Rocker6 thanks for confirming, that's what I thought but hoped perhaps I'd missed an announcement saying otherwise.

I am glad I waited this long, now will buy the full package at a nice price and with most bugs ironed out. I always have a pretty solid back-log on Steam anyway.

@Molecat No,the ending of New Vegas is final,after you finish the game,thats it.Obsidian said it themselves some months ago: "Ultimately we realized that supporting post-endgame content would jeopardize the quality of the ending, which we wanted to tell the definitive stories for all of our major factions, locations and characters. Instead, after the credits roll the game will prompt you to reload a save created just before the endgame sequence, allowing players to go back and complete any quests they may have missed. Additionally, we make it very clear when you're about to reach the end of the main plot, so it shouldn't come across as a surprise." There won't be any free-roaming,also Lonesome Road was the last DLC pack...

Anyone know if there are any plans to add free-roaming after completion? I liked the way Broken Steel gave you that as the final piece of DLC for FO3. Or does Lonesome Road give you this and I'm just too dense to have realised it?? Thanks :)

All those bugs and crashes should be fixed with this ultimate or goty version with all DLC included. The frequent crashes back then totally ruined a good experience from playing this game for me.

Been waiting for this! Buying it day one.

I've made it! I didn't purchase a single FO:NV DLC. In the beginning this was easy but as they fixed the bugs and the game not only became playable but also a lot of fun, I really wanted to get the DLC, if only for the new gear. It was hard to resist but now that it is official that this 'goty'-like version is comming out, I'm sure I'll be able to further resist the temptation. Looking forward to buying this at some point in the future when Skyrim has lost its appeal.

play NV without any bugs luckily enough. may get this to see the dlc and to revisit

gonna get this one when i't will get Mega ultimate :D

Thumbs UP, if u bought the game and DLCs, without any regrets

Yeah ill buy this even though i have all the DLC.

I've been waiting for this announcement forever, and it's the kind of announcement I generally wait for with games that have extensive DLC; it's always worth the wait. I recently bought Civ5 from Steam for about $15, and the following week, once the weekend deal had ended, they released the Civ5: GOTY Editon, which pissed me off to no end. So, always wait. :D Cheers.

@inaka_rob Wait for a Steam sale I bought them all for $2.50

OH COME ON!!!! Just got this freaking game!

Awesome. Been waiting for this!

$$$$!!! I have been waiting for this anoucment FOR EVER! the price on this game is SO low it is really hard to not buy it right now, but with all the DLC, it will cost me an arm and a leg. so I wanted to wait for THIS edition! finnaly! I will have skyrim (and BF3, and saints row, and Batman, and uncharted, and dark souls, and ......) to tie me over until feb come

Fans and Friends of Geekdom, lend me your ears... ... Get a job! Then you will have more money for new games (even GOTY & collectors editions) and DLC! +PLUS+ With current titles to play - new choices every Tuesday, no waiting for sloppy seconds - you will have less time (hopefully) to write crybaby comments or equally annoying and irrelevant "I knew this was coming" posts; therefore freeing up blog steams so serious gamers can discuss the real issues; like whether to get FNV: Ultimate edition for both consoles, and PC. Show your love at the register on or before release day for the games you play and love... especially a buggy mess like Fallout: New Vegas. Without our money, development studios and their works of art could disappear, forever. :**( Besides, if you haven't yet (cheap basterds), you will eventually play FNV for hours and hours and hours and hours. (Like when the rest of the planet is playing Skyrim) BOOM! You've just been head-shot by ROI_Joueur! ;^)

And this ladies and gentlemen, is why I did NOT buy Fallout: New Vegas when it released.

Been waiting for this news, I'm absolutely getting it.

This is exactly why I didn't buy New Vegas at launch. Most console games with 2 or more planned DLC packages usually get an "ultimate edition".

This is why I didn't buy the New Vegas DLC.

I'm a console gamer, i think it's better to buy a entire package :)

Probably, we won't have to wait until February. I bet steam or gamersgate will have FNV and all dlc on the christmas sale. And it's most likely to be cheaper than the actual ultimate edition.

I just wondering about this last night, awesome! I have Vew Vegas (have yet to play it...it's on my backlog) but none of the DLC, I'll probably be buying this when it comes out.

Loved New Vegas so very much... still haven't ventured into buying any of the DLC... I'd rather leave it until a good year after this ultimate edition has come out and just buy that with all the DLC included... it'll cost virtually nothing by then

Great news. I have lots of time to finish Fallout 3 GOTY Edition before this comes out. Glad I've waited :)

@GreyViper True. I would have loved to see more of what WAS Van Buren, like your character starting as a prisoner instead of a courier, put into FO:NV, but also I don't. I always hoped ever since it got canceled that it would be brought back, and was part of my small disappointment in FO3. I have to say I'm glad I've met someone on... well anything that knows Van Buren was implemented in FO:NV, and I think knowing that makes the game experience a bit better.

I plan on getting the add-ons, but I'm not sure if it's worth waiting for this bundled edition at this point. I'd be lucky to get $15 off of my copy of New Vegas if sold on eBay, then surely this Ultimate Edition will launch at $60, so that's still paying $45 for all the DLC which is almost exactly what it would cost for them separately. Surely the Ultimate Edition will drop in price outside of stores, but that's just more waiting. Of course the money stuff shouldn't be my main concern considering how incredibly unstable this game will probably be. I had quite a few problems with the DLC when I played F3's GOTY Edition. And because the core game of New Vegas has many more problems than F3 did, I'm just worried about this one. I still love the hell out of Fallout, so I'll be playing the add-ons one way or another, but still, I don't think this news is as exciting as it initially sounds. At least for me anyway.

cant wait for this to be released. i have been waiting for this edition of the game, glad my wait has paid off just like when i waited for the game of the year edition of fallout 3

This is exactly what I wanted. It was pretty obvious an ''Ultimate Edition'' was going to happen, which is why I haven't bought it yet. Post-apocalyptia, here I come.

This is the reason why I never buy Fallout games when they are first released. They get a ton of DLC and then a new edition comes out with all the DLC and guess who wasted all the money on it when they could get it for one low price - You did. Totally buying it though lol

THIS is why I always wait before buying a Bethesda game.

Outside of the bugs, glitches, and general headache that came with New Vegas... it is still the greatest game I've ever played in this console generation. Invested 180+ hours into this game, and that's got to be small compared to other folks. When a game is so good where you're willing to forgive the freezes and lags, even as their occurrences number into the twenties and thirties or more, you know you've got a great game. Now that they ditched the old graphic engine, if they can produce another high-caliber Fallout game that is also glitch-free, I'd be surprised to see it get less than a 9.5, and offended to see it scored below 9.0.

Thumbs up if you saw this coming....

After this I want Fallout 4
