Now that I know bearing great expectations for Fallout series by Badhesta was a huge mistake yet, what kind of brand/name/whatever it is, hearing "Fallout" itself makes me want to skyrocket.

With Obsidian behind the curtains, stakes are higher now, at least I want to believe.

OMG, Fallout has to be the worst game series of all time. :P I was hoping that the third was the last. :P

A deeper reading of the tea leaves.

Hmmm. Interesting. Hopefully it is a fresh take on the series. 1 & 2 are awesome, but outdated. And 3 is meh, (plot/quest wise). They've definitely got the development team to do so.

Fallout 3 had a pretty poor main story, but I did find it a lot of fun to explore. With mods, its a fun game to explore and collect stuff in. As long as New Vegas promises the same entertainment value for money, I'll get it.

Wondering if New Vegas requires Games for Windows Live client as Fallout 3 did.

Fallout 3 was an okay game in my book. Will keep an eye on this, but had too much hassle with GFWL.

It's filled with dark humor, it has a wide variety of ways to play, lots of unique dialogue directions and bloody, not to mention all the little bits of exploration you are able to do. Speaking of the first two installments, what exactly was your problem with them?

Sure sounds like it, Krusader.

Sure sounds like it, Krusader.

I was under the impression it meant it needed certain criteria: Wikipedia page
I have some games with the logo but which still didn't require the GFWL client installed.
