I preordered the game from Amazon. I took 500 hours to beat F3 so I estimate that it will take me like 700 hours to beat FNV. I still don't know if I should play Hardcore mode since the beginning.

Can you explain what hardcore mode is?

Your character will need water from time to time to prevent death, I think he/she will need to eat as well. Ammo and currency will have weight. You will also have increased difficulty I presume. Finishing the game in such difficulty will unlock a trophy/achievement.

wha??!? , okay now i am getting this game , sounds like fun, and the thing that F3 lacked is the sense of achievement, you know once you get a decent gun you became undestructible.

hmm, I don't think you would be that undestructible even using the Xualong before a Deathclaw. :P But I guess that it is true that F3 is not that hard really, especially if you only focus in the main quest. But if you do some exploring you may eventually find some challenges here and there. For example, I tried to go to Operation Anchorage early in my second playthrough and I had to face two Supermutant Overlords in level 4. lol I was killed sevral times trying to disarm each one from their Tri-Beam Laser. It was kind of funny though, once I hit the gun out of it's hands, we would run side by side like two idiots to catch it first. lol So yeah, there is some challenge in f3 depending how you play it I would say. I think what makes F3 easy is being able to save at any time in any place.

But you may like FNV even more. The guys at Obsidian promised that they would have overpowered enemies that will prevent players to try to explore everything from the beginning. I already took that as a challenge. Also, you won't feel overpowered with just one weapon. Different enemies will have different armors. Some weapons will be more effective against flesh and others agains armor, etc. So you will see the need to switch between weapons in order to defeat an enemy faster or defeat him at all. Weight is becoming my main concern with FNV because of this, having to carry so many differnt types of weapons may become something to worry about. I don't like the idea of not being able to carry stuff at all times.
