If they don't announce new DLC soon people will loose intere

Somebody doesn't remember how FO3 launched with main quest breaking glitches and NV launched with bugs that corrupt save games.

Every game starts off with glitches. Gamebyro svcks, but Bethesda's moving on from that. The DLC's, however, are always fun and well-made.

yea so they were rushed release. does that mean you want the DLC to be bug ridden? I would rather them spend a few extra months and have it be well made.

Im saying that out of this and 99 posible theoretical universes that Diverged at the instant I posted that,

10 of thoes universes would have some kind of announcment about the next DLC in the first 7 days,
20 would have an annoucment in the next 7 days,
40 the week after that
30 the week after that
I honestly dont think there any posible actual and theoretical universe that would go more than 4 weeks after that point short of ones where there is a serious catastrophic event that will cause any delay in announceing the next DLC for F NV

Yep. Even sc2 had few serious bugs, even though they made it gazillion years.

I dont remember anymore, that how long it took to make dlc in fo3, but im pretty sure one dlc will come this mont or latest in next month. On the otherhand the next dlc could be big. Hopefully point lookout size. Or they are fixing lots of bugs. Or they just have small crew making them so it takes little bit longer.

I'll agree with you, I too am getting a tad impatient because I want to continue the "story" of the Courier. Hopefully the sole reasons as to why it is taking awhile to get some information is because of coding to the PS3, making a beautiful landscape, and also Avellone being very tedious about the script. Plus, the endings have to also lead into the next DLC after Honest Hearts.

Absolutely amazing.
The argument here is "Yooz think yur's opineen is dat of everybodees!!"

The OP is right.
This forum comprises a small percentage of the total market, and it's part of the hardcoe crowd.
If you disagree with the OP because of YOUR opinion, YOUR the imbecile.

The overall market will deteriorate the longer they wait. Interest will wane. People will move on. The game is aging. Period. End of story. It's simple economics.
This is like the crowd that thinks "only teh noobz want to play pass mane storeelyn!" and don't realize they're in the minority.
This forum is like high school. You have the loud, vocal, "cool" crowd who generally has NO idea what they're talking about.
Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

But we who don't want to continue past the ending does know what we're talking about and has given a large amount of valid arguments for it as well as why it won't work.
So I'd say we have a fairly good idea what we're talking about, even if we are a minory.

I will say that I'm surprised that an announcement hasn't been made about when the next DLC will come out. Hopefully it's within a few weeks, although I have a gut feeling that Softworks isn't happy at Obsidian for some unknown reason probably the bugs and glitches.

Except I've seen a lot more posts in support of NOT playing after the ending than I have seen of those on the other side of the arguement.

A lot of the posts in support of playing that I've after are usually made by someone who straight out admits they didn't bother reading the popup and are probably just being vocal some sort of reaction at their own mistake.



But to those who support playing after. What will you do anyway?

A lot of the side quests are tied to a faction in some way. By the end, those factions are unavailiable (ie: gone) ,so too are the quests.
There's less a lot less side quests anyway, so even the unaligned ones will only last so long.
There's only a couple of non-quest dungeons in the game.
The DLCs will only last so long.

What exactly is there to do post game ending?

I have my doubts as to this. Generally speaking, people will hear about the new DLC release from the interweb/friends and check it out, even if they've "moved on" from the game. We saw this in Fallout 3, we see this in ME2, and we'll probably see this in NV.

If you're the kind of person to enjoy New Vegas to begin with, you probably aren't really going to "move on" so far that you won't be willing to come back when new content is released.

You can see examples of this in Mass Effect 2. The DLC well has been pretty dry for months, with only the Arrival DLC announcement breaking things up (and, in fact, interest in ME2 has been undermined by the ME3 teaser trailer), and yet everyone I know is planning to get Arrival, just to see whether the possibly-faked screenshot about sacrificing Tali is accurate. Heck, I haven't put the ME2 disk in for months at this point, yet I know that I'm going to buy into Bioware's monopoly money scheme just like I did with Lair, simply because I want to see the story. Most others I've talked to feel the same way.

RPGs are a different market than flash-in-the-pan shooters like Resistance Call of Halo: Black Operations in the Killzone (Gears.) People who buy such games are used to only getting X (<20) hours of gameplay out of them, maybe a few more for multiplay. People who play RPGs, meanwhile, generally expect longer games. An RPG that only lasts twenty hours is considered pretty short in most circles. In other words, the attention span of RPG players is typically a bit longer than the attention span of shooter players. Or, perhaps it would be more accurate to say that someone who buys an RPG is looking for long term content - and hence is more willing to wait for additional content - than someone who buys a shooter.

This forum is like high school. You have the loud, vocal, "cool" crowd who generally has NO idea what they're talking about.


I find this pretty funny. You've never really impressed me with your arguments on any subject. You generally state your opinions as fact with nothing to back them up, then when someone provides arguments that are contrary to your prefounded opinion, you ignore those arguments and try to denigrate the other side rather than actually refuting the arguments. Alternatively, you continue to assert that your opinions are a valid refutation of logical argumentation.

In this particular instance, you're basically making an appeal to popularity when there's no real information on the market. Now you could be right. Anecdotal evidence from my experience says you aren't, but either way, your argument is lacking in actual evidence, and hence, isn't a good argument. You're basically saying "oh hey guys, you're all wrong because clearly there are these huge masses of casual fans who've already moved on. You all are just a vocal minority."

Problem there being that there's no evidence on what this supposed majority wants. It's the same problem with all those "freeplay after the end" people. They always say the fans want this, but nobody knows what the majority of fans want because there have been no studies done on the subject.

Way to overthink a very simple comment. :clap:
