yep i preordered the coolectors edition and cant wait for it. This and enslaved are gonna have me zoned the hell out.

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?

wait a little more and you will get the GOTY edition

right now I'm not sure if I'll get it on launch or later on (it's between Civilization V, which I'm playing now, and Football Manager 2011), but I certainly plan to get it someday.

I'm not worried about it even with Obsidian record on unfinished games, but I wanted them to have a better engine to use, instead of one that was already dated when the "original" game was released. those faces were already horrible 2 years ago...

Whats in the collectors edition?

Seriously what the heck did you do to make F3 last 500 hours?  Took me about 100 hours to beat about 80% of the game.

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.

I'm excited, even if it's similar to Fallout 3 (kind expecting it to be) I still can't wait.

I embarked in the mission of going to every location on my own. I explored everything I could and only needed to resort to the Internet to find five or six locations (stupid White House and stupid manhole). I also liked to do some Outcast hunting after hours of play in order to steal their armor and acquire their weapons to, ironically, trade them for ammo to Protector Casdin. Then I would put on my Roving Trader Costume and visit all the merchants across the world map to make money of the things I scavenged.

Apart from the first thing I mentioned, I know the rest of the things I did can be considered a waste of time but I enjoyed doing that stuff. lol
