Pretty evident the review is screwed up, even if that isn't really Obsidian posting in the comments section. (And really, you can type any name you want to use to post a comment on the site.)
First, in the comments section, the reviewer says he got the game Friday night.
Review went live at 3:26 AM this morning. 1 day. He only had the game for 1 day. That makes everything he says a little suspect, as even if he did play the game, he rushed through it.
Second, he contradicts himself. He loves that they didn't change what worked in FO3, and he hates that they didn't change the game more.
"The differences are so small between Fallout 3 and New Vegas aside from the setting of course, that it's hard to really appreciate any changes to the structure of the title because they are fairly minuscule."
That was listed as one of the reasons he liked the game. Then later:
"Alongside the dated graphics the overall controls and feel for the game feel dated as well. This game feels like Oblivion with guns, which was not a completely bad thing but with such an awesome premise and huge following you would think that a little more investment would be made in bringing a new and improved experience. "
As a reason he hated the game. And he says he loves FO3. So if the above quote is true for New Vegas, shouldn't it be true for FO3 that he loved?
He just really sounds butt-hurt that the game isn't using the Crysis or Rage engine and rocking DX11.
