List of Everthing wrong with NV

Post » Tue Jun 08, 2010 7:40 am

All I can complain about is that stuff with the radio lacking songs and being boring (although I like Tabitha on Black Mountain radio) along with the various in-game glitches and bugs and the fact that the game wasn't finished. And I hate the repair system. Other then all of that I love this game and I must say it is fanastically awesome!

A lot of the OPs comments are opinions, but for me the main issues are freezes and a lot of lag. The load times are hurting quite a bit. I have to go through 4 load screens to talk to someone just to get my reward. It takes a long time to get there since each load time can be a minute long. I also get random crashes throughout. The entire system just freezes. I'm on the 360. I hope the DLCs are delayed to focus on these issues. I'm very close to just stopping for a patch. It really is close to the unplayable point.

I'm not here to bash obsidian or Bethesda but this is what I've been experiencing. it's very hard to make these games and we should them the opportunity to fix these issues. So many issues in these games.

I haven't met any other companions besides
Spoiler
Boone
, but if everyone is as strong as him then I'll have to add to the list that companions are overpowered. If I didn't want him to carry my gear I'd tell him to leave me alone; he steals all my kills and ruins the combat which is a lot more fun this time around than it was in FO3.

My issues with New Vegas:
Some bugs can be annoying. I experience generally the same amount as Fallout 3 though, and I really can't fault them when they were only given 1 year.
Some quests are broken, but given there's so many more quests, I can forgive this. Fallout 3 had less broken quests, still a few, but there were so few quests Thankfully those broken quests have ways to make them work, but it kinda svcks because so much fun with the quests is completing them in multiple ways.

Then there's dialog, an issue that was in fallout 3, where dialog options exist that don't make sense. An example from Fallout 3 would be as soon as you walk into megaton you have an option to ask Simms "Hey, about that bomb..." even if you never saw the bomb. The game assumes you've seen or heard certain things, but it's possible to miss, say if you're out of earshot of a conversation that adds an option. There's really no easy solution to this one, and it happens a lot in New Vegas because the dialog is so complex and there's much more.

Basically, my only gripes with this game are legacy issues from Fallout 3, and it's difficult to fix them given the gamebryo engine.
I forgive them in light of all the other improvements that New Vegas brought.

I can deal with the bugs and crashes, but.... but Cass's subtitles at the outpost... when she's talking about ghost... "I guess you don't see her 'till your dead."

I mean.... I mean I registered an account and signed up on these forums just to relay my boiling blood when I saw that grammatical error. "YOUR?"

Want to work at Bethesda? Sure. What do you want to do? Write? Cool. What've you written? Tweets, youtube comments, and English papers throughout your pre-college years, none of which you learned anything from. Cool, you'll fit right in. You know the rule that every respectable writer knows about "your" vs. "you're?" No? No big deal.

There is one thing wrong with this game and one thing only. LISTEN UP BETHESDA / OBSIDIAN! STEAM. Having to deal with Steam makes me literally sh!t bricks, and this is the last time I will buy a game that requires Steam. It screws up my computer and I've already decided to no longer buy Relic games after finding out that though I paid $80 dollars for DoWII and its expansion, the game files weren't on the disks, and had to spend two days downloading it off of Steam despite buying the bloody box. I can live without a Fallout IV if it requires Steam.

Anyways...

1.) This game has more vanilla content than Fallout 3 in terms of quests... I haven't really encountered any stories within the stories though (like the Dunwich Building from FO3 and the audio recordings in it).
2.) I've only encountered one bug, it was a save I couldn't delete... and they fixed that two days later.
3.) Overall story is great... however a lot of the side quests are tedious. I just resorted to using /movetoqt in some cases (Like the Elvis wannabe's questlines).
4.) People would like the game more if it didn't svck until you get to Nipton... (slow and boring) which is a couple hours for your first playthrough.
5.) The game isn't to easy, than again I wear clothing and not armor (butterflies can kill me in the time it takes to reload if I am being stupid - and I usually am).
6.) I like that I don't feel the need to use VATS in this one.

I don't know why people miss FOIII so much, it wasn't that good. I really don't think people would play Bethesda games which generally have inherently broken game systems if 1.) there wasn't a strong mod community and 2.) they didn't have a monopoly on this kind of game, no one else makes them. With Steam already giving mod users and creators problems, this game could have a very short life indeed though Obsidian did improve the vanilla game with New Vegas in many ways.

PS. Walking into Ceaser's headquarters and killing him in front of his peers and than fighting my way out was the most epic thing I've ever done in a Bethesda game.
PSS. Steam blows balls.
