Caltrops - Fallout: New Vegas





	[quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"][quote name="WITTGENSTEIN"][quote name="Ice Cream Jonsey"] 1) They put all the good shit at the 4+ hour mark. If a game doesn't grip me in the first 10 minutes, I rarely bother with it. I'd have to check how long I spent with New Vegas, but it was certainly less than four hours. 2) The direction I took was a bit different than how other people went. I found myself in a bit of a murder mystery involving that giant-ass dinosaur. Video games do not do mysteries well, due to the difference between player and player character knowledge. So I reacted like how the crowd reacted when Louis CK once introduced Jerry Seinfeld as the best comedian in the world. I folded my arms (metaphorically; still on trackball) and said, 'Really, New Vegas? You've solved mysteries in video games?' They hadn't. ICJ[/quote] This is what I bitched about initially. I didn't really get impressed until I visited New Vegas proper, which can take up to 15-20 hours. Also it's pretty easy to solve the dinosaur mystery. Technically you can bring whomever you want out there to get their brains blown out, it makes no difference. [/quote] I should say that I got to a part where there are plasma weapons held in a building by some group of assholes or another. I liked the part where I watched them execute some poor guy -- it's an embryonic storytelling thing to make you dislike antagonists for a reason, but when it comes to computer games it's pretty far out there. I had some fun running in there, loading myself up with weapons and then trying to run away before they came storming out THROWING ELBOWS to shoot me in the back (pussies) (fucking pussies).
