I was trashing this game earlier when I started seeing gameplay and how similar it looked to Fallout 3. I really loved Fallout 3 but got tired of it after a while. That's probably why I hated on New Vegas. But recently I started messing around of Fallout 3 again and fell back in love with it. Now I kind of want New Vegas. But I've heard of how buggy the game was and I think I'm going to hold off for a while. I'll wait a year for the GOTY edition with all of the DLC and when the game will have a ton of patches to download.


EDIT: Also I was considering getting it for PS3. I have FO3 on 360. Can anyone clarify if the PS3 version uses L1 and R1 to aim and shoot? Because I hate shooting with those triggers on the PS3 controller.

New Vegas is only similar to Fallout 3 in superficial ways. In every way that's important (gameplay, writing, quest structure, dialog) it is absolutely superior and more in-line with Fallout 1 and 2.

You really should consider picking it up.

Unless you have anything better to buy then I'd suggest you buy it.

Waiting for about a month or so until the game gets another patch or two and the first decent mods start coming out it's probably not a bad idea but I wouldn't wait for a whole year.

so wait you ranted on here and you didn't even play the game

Is the DLC going to be 360 "exclusive" again? Also, Assassins Creed Brotherhood comes out next month! Wooz

EDIT: If someone can give me an incredibly good reason to get the game (something I have to experience or see that I couldn't see in FO3 ). I'll get it ASAP.

This.

I had my rants BEFORE the game came out. It is hard to develop a convincing argument aganist something you haven't had any actual experience playing.

But if you have the patience to wait, waiting for all the DLC's is a great idea.

I got the game on the release date in Europe, where the first patch was already released. I haven't run into any bugs yet.
Of course there's much more things to do in NV compared to FO3, with the whole casino thing. More weapons and so on. I will definitely recommend it to you

Good for you, why make a thread about it. jeeez

Good for you. Why respond to it? jeeez

I wish I had waited a lot longer before buying the game :sadvaultboy:

Thank god. I've been waiting to see if you would buy this game or not before I made my decision. Good to finally know.
Ok... No it's not. I don't care. Should I list all the products I'm not buying?

FO3 was pretty mediocre, and well tbh.. Not very good.

Oblivion was a far better game, FO3 was just extremely over-hyped. FONV runs about the same, much more and better content. Is also a heck of alot more fun.

I also didn't get all those bugs others were getting, Oblivion v1 had alot more bugs.. And so did Fallout 3 v1. Crashing in this was the least frequent game from Bethesda since.. Well Daggerfall.
