ive gotten really bored... : Fallout: New Vegas

i agree, it is a waste of good companions, i liked veronica, but these few people who hate bethesda and defend NV so much, they're in denial, its a boring gameworld environment for the most part, there's a few bright spots but most of the map is just empty and the environment svcks, no good places do to battle, fighting ncr or ceasers legion around tents is lame,with no good cover or structures, obsidian just took the easy approach, oh lets make the game in a desert, put up some one room shacks, lets just make the ceasers legion bases and outposts all tents, its the most uniteresting environment in any game i have ever played, anyone trying to say its full of interesting locations and action and adventure to me is pretty funny.

I've accepted that fact that some people truly like FONV and are not bored with it. People have different tastes. :shrug:

Lot's of people prefer intricate story lines and plenty of dialog and that can keep them going. They like being able to walk from here to there without encountering any hostiles. I guess they like the desert and its emptiness.

Me. I prefer lots of places to explore...subways, caves, vaults, buildings, etc...the more complex the better. I like finding those interesting little places with a little side story attached to them while exploring I like shooting things, so I like random encounters. I don't need my Fallout game to be realistic, just fun and action packed. I do prefer the different voices for the NPCs and the better writing and dialog options.

Personally, I agree that the FONV environment is uninteresting. I also find the gambling aspect uninteresting. I'm also really really bored with all the stuff. I spend more time trying to figure out what to do with all the stuff, yet I can't bring myself to leave it behind. :hehe: I am rolling in bottle caps in my second FONV game. Over 50,000!

I'm looking forward to a combination of FO3 and FONV in the next Fallout game. I hope that is what we get. Even then, not everyone will be happy with it.

I don't see a lot that claim hatred ~though I have seen it in the past. What is liked about Fallout New Vegas is... That its a lot closer to how the Fallout series is supposed to be. (Not close enough at all IMO, but closer); It is Fallout 3 that was the deviation, and those that prefer Fallout 3 do seem to often prefer what was wrong with it (from a series perspective).

Based on its own merit I thought it was great; its just a poor Fallout game in my opinion.
*Not counting the art design ~that was spot on except for a few established antiques that did not appear as they did in the previous games.

there is a big anti bethesda crowd on here, but i'm not defending FO3's faults here at all, it had faults too, i'm saying the new vegas environment is boring as hell, the city area is ok, its workable, there's a few nice areas on the map, but its a big map and at 90% of it is pretty darn empty, whether it be interesting terrain, some structures, more towns, even if they're ghost towns with a rader faction in em, random encounters and events, the map needed significantly more work, to just leave it empty and use the excuse, oh its a desert what do you expect, i expected some more artistic license implemented, thats like making a game on the moon and going, well its just the moon what to do you expect we wanted it realistic. for me the game was fun for the first month, i think for a newbie the game prob has a lot to offer, but for a person who likes playing a game more than once, i think its a weak game for that.

Denial?!?!?!?

I think you are getting Call of Duty and Fallout mixed up. You like explosions, we like complex storylines.

How did they take the easy way? They FILLED the map with quests and characters and lore. Every single major place has many quests and a fill backstory.

BTW, I love the Elder Scrolls series, but Fallout is NOT the Elder Scrolls.

i'm not a big FPS player, there's a bit too much action for me in most fps, i don't need big explosions etc, but i do want the feeling of being in a world with lots to explore, a lot of detail, and not story detail, not tons and tons of dialogue which is ok, i want environmental detail, not tents and shacks, its easy to just put up tents and one room shacks, thats not hard to do, for something to be great it takes work, you can't just throw up tents, cactus and tumbleweeds and a few shacks and go, well most of the map is done its just a desert, and expect the game to be a blockbuster hit, thats why new vegas isn't a smash hit, it was good, average, ok to play for a while but it doens't have any wow factor.

West, you have reached a new level or absurdity in your posts, nobody here claims to hate Bethesda, only what they have done to Fallout, and you are a good object example of what Bethesda has introduced to the fanbase.

for this many people are in denial(original Fallout players) they claim that FNV is a whole lot better than Fo3 because it closer to the originals therefore they refuse to point out that NV is dull and boring.

Agreed, unfortunately this thread went to hell pretty quickly. Any mods around here?

Fallout New Vegas is not dull and boring, that is my opinion, your opinion is opposite, neither of us can prove we have the majority, because the majority of players dont use the forums, so we may never know.

You and west are being ridiculous. No one is in denial, nor is anyone wrong, many people just happen to have different tastes than you do.

What if I said I am a level 35 played Dead Money and afterward now have over 97,000 caps. What if I also stated that I have for over 127 locations found and having completed almost all the side quests along with the main campaign. What should I do? Play more Cod ( I'm bored of ) or get a new game. ( Dead Space 2 ) or ( BulletStorm. )

The answer is simple, buy a new game

That said, it's past 200 posts so it's time to lock this.
