Fallout: New Vegas now available for pre-load on Steam.

Hmm looks as though it has unlocked early (not at home, just going off the steam website). Which means I don't need to worry about VPN access tonight to be able to play it

[Mythor]

Yep, mine decrypted when I loaded up Steam too. Excellent.

[r107]

Yup same here decrypting as I type.

Don't know if serious.

either way.

I started it to get the ball rolling, though I might play it later (got a headache now) but the one thing that annoys me with these games is it defaulted straight to my 360 controller (which I use for TDU2 beta) rather then ask me if I wanted to use k/m. Have to unplug it to get the keys working. It's only a little thing but they can just ask what you want to use, especially if you have the PC version.

[Mythor]

You can use the keyboard to navigate the menu and turn off the 360 controller, too. I had the same issue.

Also, when using the Vigor-tron thing near the start be careful when navigating the stats. The final page is a Summary page and if you hit next from there it finishes your stat assignment without any kind of prompt.
Fortunately the auto-save is just before you do that.

Engine performance seems brilliant so far. Game recommended I run on Ultra High settings and the framerate seems fine.
Will take screenshots later. Not going to play right now either, just got my dude out the door.

[r107]

Running everything in ultra high here and man it looks nice. I'll take some screen shots in a minute and post them.

I wish I had that problem!

My 360 wireless receiver stopped working. Don't know why, didn't drop it or anything. I played FO3 and Oblivion with a controller and found it much smoother (strange huh). Guess it's all keyboard for me now.

I never bothered to check, but when I preloaded it, Sat or Sunday I think (right after when Mythor said it was ready) it screamed down at 1.9Mb/s. I wouldn't get that speed off one of the o'seas steam servers so it is either here on Nodes or on another Australia steam server (which is free data anyway with Node).

[Axwell]

If I have as much fun as I did played Fallout 3 then I certainly won't complain.

Besides, I don't see how it's much different in terms of criticism when you compare it with games like call of duty which is rehashed stuff every release.

[Bicketybam]

One thing I noticed and while it sort of loses its charm because we (Aust) had a delay on release, the date when you first start in the game is the 20th Oct (2281).
