You know what NV lacks? Bethesda Magicka.

Lol YES. they need to add a sprinkle of it.

exactly epic, i did like all the weapons, there were lots of factions, good skills and perk system, reputation system and better repair system, but sadly no interesting terrain, not many settlements, too many tents and shacks on the map, no cover anywhere for fighting or avoiding enemies, not one tree except near jacobstown, actually the deserts around new vegas have lots of trees up in the mountain areas so they should of have a couple more settlements like jacobstown instead of all those dry lake beds, one dry lake bed would of been enough, i've driven to las vegas a few times, i don't remember seeing a lot of dry lake beds there are areas like that but to make 1/4 of the map dry lake beds isn't very realistic, thats just a way of putting a huge area in the map then not have to spend much time doing anything with it, just make it flat, stick a few ants in it and BAM !, thats a 1/4 of the map done right there.

I was being snarkastic.

I must be on drugs, like SERIOUSLY I thought that I was in denial about how good New Vegas is, but some of the people on here jesus christ its like you think they prefer things to be less fun. Some people thought the WASTELAND was dull and like the Mojave? I am the type who cant stand missing a single building...and NV made me not even give a crap about exploring once I realized there was none....at least the fighting was fun in the F3 "dungeons" rather than in NV....go find some crappy shack and fight a group of flies who are nearly unbeatable without at least 20 stins....oh and they will kill your annoying companions within 2-3 hits...oh and theres no way to get your idiot companions away from there unless you...uh...dont use them in the first place.

Gotta love the "realism crowd" out there....because realism should come before having fun in a video game right? Who the f*** prefers walking around and finding NOTHING rather than finding "secret bases" here and there? Well I sure do, because when I play my games, I damn well better have no fun!!! I want it realistic...I wanna pay taxes and make mortage payments...If Fallout was supposed to be realistic...there would be no Fallout!!....The concept of Fallout is unrealistic...which is a great charm Fallout 3 had....FNV was just the same exact stuff, but way less interesting...and weapons that are almost never satisfying.

New Vegas is far too political for my liking and not enough fun. I'm halfway through fallout 2 and I've just

Yah i should get F2.

Yah i know because you hate/dislike bethesda.

fallout john wayne.

Get http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout; Play http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/fallout_2 after.

Or you can get F1,F2, and F tactics in a bundle for only 20 dollars. Does gamestop sell them because i aint much for buying things online.

Fallout isnt a dungeon crawler

It wasnt supposed to be a dungeon crawler

Personality? what?

Combat and dungeons =/= Personality

It's at Gamestop and Best Buy.

I'd say that if anything, dungeons detract from personality: there's nothing original or inspiring about them. NV's personality lies in its story and faction system.

And since when were there so many unique weapons? Not as many as Fallout 3 by a long shot.

obviously you don't like bethesda games, cause they always have dungeons, fantasy, combat and random events and encounters, all things missing from new vegas....you say its about the story and faction system? NV story wasn't great, FO3's story had lots of drama, suspense and action that was actually implemented in the quests themselves, like when the enclave show up at the purifier, or going to get the geck from vault 87 and getting kidnapped by the enclave, escaping form raven rock, following liberty prime to take back the purifer, the battle at adams air base, so FO3 story had all the elements of a good story incorporated into the game itself, not just end game slides, new vegas doesn't do that as much, the only drama, suspense and action happens at the dam at the very end, thats it, not throughout the entire game like in FO3, so your idea of a good story excludes drama, suspense and action until the very very very end when the game is basically over, probably the end game slides.

You must be the only person who actually thinks that FO3s story was better than New Vegas's.

He's not... from a purely technical point of view, as a story, it was carried better than NV. The protagonist (you) has an impetus to continue along the story line. You have the classic story structure... Act 1: Find your father, a triumph. Act 2. Father gets killed, sorrow. Act 3. Revenge.... :gun:

snip

NV, the story peters out after Act 1 (Chase Benny down). After that, where's the impetus to continue? What reason do I have for helping any of the factions? The only faction who doesn't seem to automatically think that I am going to help them is Yes Man. There's no cohesiveness to any of the stories after that... a few fairly trivial and disjointed side missions, and then onto Hoover Dam.
