to me new vegas was a huge dissapointment, and i think i speak for lots of people, i don't believe you're really finding it that great still after all these months, the story plays the same every time, and the map area never changes, i don't beleive you play it over and over and over just to see a different set of end game slides, and ratings and awards do mean something, bethesda games are award winners with high ratings, that speaks to the quality of their games and the widespread popularity, something you think doesn't mean anything, all you do is trash bethesda.
Yeah thats being pretty arrogant. I play it alot and I still enjoy it. Based on the people on this forum, people love both games and even taken it upon themselves to play the originals and they like them as well. People on other forums that deal only in fallout also love New Vegas. You are the only one arrogant enough to call the original fallout crap and New Vegas bad. You don't speak for "Bethesda fans" so get over yourself. New Vegas also won alot of awards so what the hell is your point in brining up "Fallout 3 won awards"? You bring up ratings, and based on peoples posts many don't care about ratings. You sticking to that just tells me you are completely incapable of determining what is good or bad on your own.
The story has four main faction endings, you can effect several smaller factions. Many unmarked quests that are moral grey. Fallout 3 is just black and white and only two endings good or bad and it plays the same every time. And I have played Fallout 3 countless times, if I hated it as much as you hate New Vegas and the Originals I would not have wasted my time playing it.
i have pointed out in detail the major problems with new vegas, its a broken game in many ways, i don't just say oh its boring and leave it that, i have pointed out its huge shortcomings and so have many others, honestly most people are so done with the game they don't even bother coming to the forums anymore, the new vegas forums are pretty slow, for a game that just came out thats speaks for itself, FO3 had tons of people for a long time after it came out, its not that way with new vegas, so that right there speaks volumes, the game came out less than 6 months ago and its already dropped off bigtime, so you're in denial about the game.
People have pointed out how New Vegas is alot like the Orignals and therefore true to the series as a whole and how Fallout 3 is not. Yet you just complain that the Originals don't count and are not importaint. That Fallout should be like TES because Bethesda makes good TES games. You only care about Fallout 3 not the whole of Fallout. Its a wonder anyone even bothers to read your posts.
Alot of people come to the forum and its still very active. People I know have taken a break from the forum simply because they are sick of the New Vegas vs Fallout 3 threads.
