[Griff]

Aah so you're the person that buys those idiotic game guides.. I always wondered who bought them.

Yep, I'm a complete nerd for this game, can't deny it.

As for net-guides, yeah, sure they'll exist, but the hardback book will be 99% complete and accurate upon release, not after 9 months.

:star:

 

[Rhino172]

true but following a guide from the get-go kinda defeats the point in such a game surely? Unless you're not intending on using it straight away.

It's all about going it alone for the first playthrough and finding everything you can. Then resort to guides for the second playthrough.

 

[Goodj]

Rhino, you're not wrong at all.

I'll probably scan through it before I start as the book will arive before the game, but I'll hold off actually USING it until I start the first hardcore-mode playthough.

Thing is, it'll be harder to get hold of a hardback-copy quite quickly, given how the FO3 one disappeared so quickly.

 

[Rhino172]

true, I'll let you off then lol

but you're right £88 for basically one game is a bit strong.

 

[Goodj]

well, it has got some decent gametime in it. I'm probably on my 5th playthrough of FO3 at the mo, level 16 and I haven't even bothered with the main quest yet!

Oh, and I thought £88 was bad until I saw some version of GT5 for £150!

 

[sussex_gti]

You havent seen the price of the collectors Call Of Duty thats out in a couple of months? £130!!!!

Same here. Yet to touch the main quest, on level 20 and i'm a scourge to society. I love being an arse.

Just buy the basic version! Only geeks by the collectors ones! lol

Guilty as charged.

It's still less anti-social than getting really nerdy about removing the mufflers from exhausts

DAMN! Remote control car included!?

(I'll stick with the normal release version and my Nitro RX-7 though)

 

[Gareth]

just ordered the PC version for £50

 

[Si]

I've never understood people who buy the special edition that comes with some s**t you don't need. Loads of guys at my work do it.

 

[Gareth]

I don't often do it, but for this and seeing as £50 isn't that much I will.

 

[Ads_172]

You're a geek but at least you're proud of it! I don't see the point of a guide for the first time you play it though... takes away the point a bit doesn't it?

 

[Cookie]

I could write a guide to the new game, sell it to you for 20 quid.

Would just have one word in it \o/

 

[mantis946]

Crysis 2 special edition looks to be at £130 too, although the backpack is ace

 

[Darren S]

I never buy Collectors/Ultimate/Platinum Editions, etc from new - though ones several months down the line with included DLCs and expansions are certainly fair game imo.

I've got a couple of game guides - one for Fallout 3 and the other for Oblivion - both I picked up cheaply and several months after I'd been playing the games. They are a great addition - filling in a few of the blanks (if you so wish) and also explaining some things that otherwise would have passed you by.

I have this on order

 

[z8jay]

I hope you're getting it for PC

 

[Scutch]

I don't actually know if I'll be buying FNV. I put over 170 hours into Fallout 3 and because I'm always on BC2 now I worry I'll never have time to play it. I bought Red Dead Redemption and it took a while to get 100% completion, but I didn't go back to BC2 until I'd done it. I'm pretty sure FNV will take even longer than Red Dead to fully explore and complete, and I don't think I can drag myself away from BC2 for that long, as I don't like swapping between games once I'm started. Quite incredibly, I've still not started Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii, and I've had it since before it was released.

 

[Gareth]

I know what you mean Scutch its a struggle, I've just completed Mafia 2 but haven't completed Starcraft 2 (started before Mafia 2) and haven't touched BC2 in AGES!!

 

[Goodj]

Well, to stop myself from losing too many hours in the wasteland aain, I pulled out an old copy of Need For Speed Pro Street that I picked up for a fiver since it had no instructions or case.

so I'm not ALWAYS spending too much for games
