Anyone else get bored with this game.

Post » Sat Jun 12, 2010 6:07 am

So yeah just wondering guys. I'm personally bored to death with this game. I'm level 30 have hundreds of thousands of caps and ammo, but I'm not even interested in completing the story. Not even the DLC interests me. if you feel differently thats cool its your game and your opinion, but I was curious if anyone agreed with me.

Why haven't you completed the story path, have you even decided who to help, there are 4 completely different storylines after all. I am not bored at all.

Nah not at all, I'm having a ton of fun with it. Level 10 right now on my first play through, and still have much to discover.

That being said, any game gets boring after a while no matter how great. You should break up your gameplay by, I don't know, climbing a mountain :P

I think that those who are bored with the game aren't surfing on this forum, but instead spending their time playing some other game :P

Fallout New Vegas is a great game, although not perfect. I will admit, that sometimes I felt quite bored playing it and wanted to just put the controller down and not play for a week. It's strange, that none of my games, except the pile of garbage known as Black Ops, have made me feel bored to such an extent before. I guess what I'm trying to say is that NV was good, but it wasn't the amazing experience Fallout 3 was for me.

Allright you cant say you are bored of the game if you have not completed all the story's DLC and main quest's.


=Myself I have done everything beside new DLC releases But I break up my gaming time to keep It fun (You should too), I just went to Fallout 3 and never have had so much fun playing it (Mods too) So I think you should complete the story? You really should.

I took a 3 month break from New Vegas. A little longer than I wanted to but now I am back into it. Sometimes just taking some time off from it can help a lot.

I was bored, but then I decided to just go in and play explorer. So that's what I've been doing. I've been roaming around finding every location on the map. Once I'm done with that I'm going to play Dead Money, even thought it doesn't interest me one bit. (I'm looking forward to Lonesome Road. It sounds awesome) Then I'm going to finish up my third game and start one on hardcoe, which I haven't done yet.

So, because I've been ignoring quests I'm not bored. Just roaming with my companions. And it's all good.

It has gotten boring for me.I haven't downloaded the new patch because I don't want to start over.After so many glitches with dead money (for me) I wouldn't want to have to go through it again.Nor the repconn base with all the ghouls.That more annoyed me then bored with all the back and forth (upstairs,downstairs,back again) Also have played through five times with multiple endings each.I wish there were more subtle hidden buildings,sites, (easter eggs) that aren't on the map. OKAY comparison (sorry) but fallout 3 had talon headquarters,raider hideouts,mercenary,HQ, security checkpoints, actual houses to go in, among others that were off the map.

I have 5 completed character, working on number 6, i have a design idea for character number 7, how can one be bored? I could i guess see the boredom if one is on console but that is more a platform limitation as opposed to game limitation. If on a PC there are literally hundreds of mods that add different elements to an already deep experience. FONV has probably some of the most if not most replay possibilities even with the lack of mods for the consoles. There is 4 ways to complete the main quest and several lesser important quests that add to the end story you get to write. I am still after 5 completed plays and not even to vegas yet at level 21 with character number 6 still finding stuff that i have NEVER seen before. I am purposely going to areas of the map that i have never been, areas well off the beaten path, i have died alot, run away alot, yelled and waved my fist at the screen quite a few times. I have reloaded and rained death and destruction on those who provoked me figuring out a different approach to solve the problem. In truth having solved some problems one way with one build means that sometimes i have to use a different approach to solve the same problem with a different build, i am not sure how that can be boring.

I have had a few occasions where i have had to push back from the PC, or even get up and walk a bit, to stir the juices if you will, reevaluating the current approach which failed only to fail again with a different approach, sometimes only resolving the situation by pure luck or skill. Diplomacy has failed because i do not have the speech skill high enough, so you go running in blasting away your enemied have fallen and yet you still stand with 2 or 3 bars of health left, and surviving only because i got a lucky hit that was a crit. Jumping out of the chair on success giving the screeen the "one fingered salute" yelling "you can't stop me" "whos your daddy [censored]" followed by a few well earned fist pumps or body grabs.

I can not see how that would be boring, i mean FONV has the potential to be a different game with each different build, player choice is king in FONV, so if your bored it is really your fault not the games. I am sorry to be blunt, but i have PC gamed for over 15 years, longer if you count my TRS 80 time in the early 80s, and have seen very few games that offered so much detail and such a rich environment. I will admit i got burned out having blown through the first 4 plays in a row, succumbing to the feeling "i have to see how it plays out" rushing through the game just to get the 4 story points done that i forgot to enjoy the experience. Characters number 5 and currently number 6 were/are the new and improved approach. I took the time to explore, to smell and pick the flowers, having not a concern or care if it took me weeks to finish the play as character number 5 was almost 3 weeks in play at about 2 to 4 hours a day. Overturning rocks looking for legion scum to shoot, leveling big to do DM making sure i had the skill, perks and implants i wanted. Crawling through caves, ruins, abandonded buildings looking for that next gimmick or much needed crafting item.

Seriously there is just so much to do that to be bored and i mean no offense but if your bored with one play of FONV all i can suspect is that your off your ADD meds or need an adjustment. I in order to keep what i want to do straight have to make notes on a pad almost like a shopping list of places to go, people to shoot, stuff to grab, things to craft, odd ball quests to complete. A list of how to spend the points earned on level in order to satisfy a check i want to pass for a quest i have never done before, or to resolve it differently this time. A list of modded items and thier locations so they can be collected, tried out and kept or discarded as i choose. Dude seriously finish the story go play something else for a few days like i did and when you see just how limited every other game actually is, you will come running back to FONV just like i did because seriously, there are alot of hyped games out there that are all hard to differentiate from each other. One Halo clone is the same as any CoD clone because in the end the game is a linear path from point A to B to C to done. FONV is as far from that as one can get and still be a game as opposed to a RL simulator, at least with FONV i can go A to S to B to D skipping C entirely for no other reason than i want to.

Maybe there is too much to do in FONV, that can be overwhelming, i know it was for me the first time i played a Fallout game which was FO3. I was used to the WoW hand holding approach to questing, you know the go HERE with a map marker showing the exact location, to kill X number of (insert name here) grinding for hours to get a single (insert quest drop here), only to return with said quest drop and be sent back out the the exact same area by the same NPC, killing the exact same mobs AGAIN, BUT for something completely different this time. All the while wondering why when i was out here originally the NPC could not have given me the quest for (insert quest item name here) along with the previous (insert quest item here). Sorry sport, that IS boring, FONV is so different from that that, really so different from alot of the mainstream stuff, maybe that is the issue, and not so much boredom? Something to ponder.

I've had the game since Oct. of last year so sometimes, yeah, I'm bored with it. I don't play it much anymore & can go days or weeks w/out touching it at all. But I still like to fire it up now and then & fool around. I start new characters occasionally but rarely get very far, and that's ok. And I still like to come to the forums sometimes. :)

If you're bored, play something else a while. Nothing wrong with that. If you feel like playing it again, you will.

So I have ADD because I got bored with something? Actually starcraft 2 came out thats the real reason I stopped playing... Now I'm bored with starcraft 2 so I got back into New Vegas. New Vegas isn't a boring game, I just get bored playing the same game for hours on end I like variety its not A.D.D. I have good concentration eesh...

When I get bored of an RPG I go play a FPS, when I get bored with FPS I go play an RTS game, when I get bored with an RTS game I go back to playing an RPG. WHen I get bored playing video games I go watch a movie when I get bored watching a movie I go play video games... When I get bored watching movies and playing video games I go out and party and flirt with ladies... actually that never gets boring...

I work in computer/I.T. field so the last thing I want to do is sit in front of a computer for more hours playing a computer game another reason why I get bored NOT BECAUSE OF ADD...

First off i never stated that your bored because of ADD, if you will take the time ro re-read my post you would see, never mind here it is and i quote myself here "Seriously there is just so much to do that to be bored and i mean no offense but if your bored with one play of FONV all i can suspect is that your off your ADD meds or need an adjustment. . The inclusion of the term suspect makes the statement theory as opposed to fact. I was merely theorizing, speculating, as to what may be the cause of your boredom and in no way was i saying that this is THE reason your bored. Although all the reasons you provided as to why it is not ADD do not rule out ADD as a potential cause when you consider the facts you have provided. On the contrary it is still possible it is ADD, and that the circumstances of your life have the potential to excerbate the condition.

I could be considered an [censored] for my opinion, true enough, and with the facts i have provided could lead an individual to that assumption, but opinions and assumptions do not make facts, they do how ever sometimes make [censored]s. But you see the terminology utalized by this traveler is of a nature meant to inspire debate is it ADD and am i an [censored]? Let the debate begin :whistling: :thumbsup: :biggrin: .

In all seriousness lets not turn this into a flamewar. I was only kidding. Point I was trying to make was that just because somebody gets bored of a video game does not mean they have ADD. I prefer to play a variety of video games is what I was getting at.... I'm just going to stop while I'm ahead debating this isn't going to get anywhere and its getting off topic and on a verge of a nuclear flame war. The fact of the matter is I don't have ADD its been proven I don't have ADD. I was actually trying too hard at being funny when I wrote that post. I usualy end up making an ass out myself especially after having a few beers in me which is the case.
