Pre-Order Bonuses (probably just USA market as of now, but Europe will probably see something similiar)
http://bethblog.com/index.php/2010/06/10/fallout-new-vegas-digital-pre-sell-packs-now-available/

The Classic Pack

The Classic Pack (pictured above), available when you pre-order through GameStop, contains:
Armored Vault 13 Suit – Extensively patched up and dotted with piecemeal armor, this outfit is an homage to the classic ending of the original Fallout.
Vault 13 Canteen – This handy device is useful for staving off dehydration and providing a small amount of healing in the Mojave Wasteland.
Weathered 10mm Pistol – A well-worn 10mm pistol that packs an extra punch despite its modest size.
5 Stimpaks – Food and water are good for long-term healing, but when the fighting is fierce, Stimpaks help keep Wastelanders upright.

The Tribal Pack

The Tribal Pack, available when you pre-order through Amazon, contains:
Tribal Raiding Armor – Pieced together from scraps of armor, this outfit provides protection without impacting mobility.
Broad Machete – This heavy-bladed melee weapon does high damage against limbs and can quickly deal out a flurry of attacks.
5 Bleak Venom doses – Useful on any Melee Weapon, Bleak Venom makes short of work of most living targets.
10 Throwing Spears – If you would like to silently pin an enemy's head to a wall, Throwing Spears are the way to do it.

The Caravan Pack

The Caravan Pack, available when you pre-order through Steam and Walmart, contains:
Lightweight Leather Armor – This hand-modified suit of leather armor reduces its overall weight without impacting its ability to protect.
Sturdy Caravan Shotgun – Despite its rough appearance, this Caravan Shotgun will reliably fire 20 gauge shells until the Brahmin come home.
4 Repair Kits – Useful for repairing any outfit or weapon, Repair Kits are a valuable tool for any caravaner.
Binoculars – The Mojave Wasteland is a dangerous place, but with these trusty Binoculars you'll be able to spot trouble coming.

The Mercenary Pack

The Mercenary Pack, available when you pre-order through Best Buy, contains:
Lightweight Metal Armor – Modified for long-range travel, this Metal Armor sacrifices some protection for mobility and overall weight.
Mercenary's Grenade Rifle – Though similar to other 40mm Grenade Rifles in the Mojave Wasteland, this model has a faster reload cycle.
3 Super Stimpaks – When you absolutely, positively, need to keep your blood inside your body, Super Stimpaks fix you up in no time.
3 Doctors Bags – Mercenaries and broken limbs go together like Iguana-on-a-Stick and Nuka Cola. Thankfully, these Doctors Bags take a bit of sting out of the inevitable crushed skull.

200 hours? Amateur.

LOL.

I'd tell you the total hour count of my save files, but I'd have to go and play it again.

Unsure if this has been posted, but here's footage from the demo at E3 :

Re: Fallout : New Vegas - Released 22/10/2010

I just remember the early stages with a s**t hunting rifle and a sledgehammer. Not quite so easy as Level 20+

 

[McBunny]

Re: Fallout : New Vegas - Released 22/10/2010

tbh i found fallout very easy certainly easier than oblivion i just level up before i do anything then its all plain sailing

Re: Fallout : New Vegas - Released 22/10/2010

I remember those f*cking fire ants.

Re: Fallout : New Vegas - Released 22/10/2010

My only real grip with Fallout 3 was after you level up a bit, it all becomes a bit easy. At the beginning anything can kill you, but then after about 75 hours play I don't think I ever died again! They somehow need to keep difficulty curve challenging I think.

More random enemies would be good too, I remember the shock at finding that HUUUUGE ant-monster thing in a seemingly random warehouse. Random little bits like that were great.

 

[oska]

Re: Fallout : New Vegas - Released 22/10/2010

I'm not sure that's always the case though. Depends on what you have leveled up on. I've been finding Broken Steel fairly punishing on level 23 what with the Deathclaws and stuff. Mutants etc are a piece of piss but some stuff is still tough.

I know I'm going to end up eating my words here - but thank fcuk for that. Even Arnie in Commando couldn't carry a typical loadout that the character had in Fallout 3. It was one of its most silly aspects imo.
