Fallout New Vegas almost best game ever?

[qazcake]

You're not very lucky it seems, my last playthrough was pestilence free. Apart from a few graphical glitches. And that one faceless guy in the Mormon Fort who kept trying to kill me.

I guess not, my game likes to freeze on me regularly. A lot of times when moving from one area to next right before an autosave <.< and every now and then in the middle of combat right after one of those "zoom in" kills.

Could it be a 360 thing? Or maybe the game just doesn't like the perks I've picked.

Its not trust me its not a 360 thing but its also a ps3 thing where the thing crashes offten and has broken a quest completly (whats worse was it was raul's side quest thing). i am still am not bold enough to try the thorn or whatever that place is called due to i have heard it has the most gilitches in the game. its a good game but it also so buggy.

Bethesda make the weirdest RPGs, the enemy AI is reasonably sucky, the loading times are appalling, the facial models make me never want to sleep again and there are bugs galore, and yet I think I love every one of them since Morrowind. Long live Bethesda and their lame, limping but somehow amazing games...

No, the plot is still somewhat poor and suffers from a few game design flaws like the use of the invisible walls, which has a big impact on it being a open world game.

Yea, and I miss the random encounters too.
It's too bad, I thought that big patch they released six months after the game launched was supposed to fix most of the problems. I guess not.

Glitches by the Number,
Bugs by the score,
every day I play it less,
'cause each day it crashes more,
Glitches by the number,
It's a game I can't win,
'Caus the quests I do stop counting,
and the game picks when to end.

Heartache number one was when they left me
I never knew companions go away
And then at vault twenty two
Was when I found them again
Got them back but couldn't make them stay

Yes, I've got

Endless Loading Screen
was what would halt me
And one side of those Vegas gates I stay
With cowboy hat
I waited for what's beyond the door
I waited but could not go on my way

Lmao can't believe u just typed a poem about it
Pretty damn accurate and good for something on the fly though

So I picked up the game pretty late (got it for like $15) and I've played through most the main story and just got my first piece of DLC last night.
I'm really tempted to say that this is one of the greatest games I've ever played..... too bad theres a bug around every goddamn corner. I see why the critics were so pissed off by it. The bugs not only forced me to replay things numerous times but they even F***ed up some of my missions (characters not being where they were supposed to/not letting me speak to them)
It really is a shame that this game came so close to being immortalized in my game collection (which it still might be) but just knowing how many bugs I'm going to run into on my next playthrough makes me just a bit annoyed. Anybody else got the New Vegas Blues?

Really? I haven't come across many bugs in my several playthroughs.
Some people are just unlucky.

I've just started Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth and for once the weird, staring eyes, rictus smiles and unnatural movements feel... right. If Bethesda played to their strengths they'd make Fallout: Innsmouth.

Uh, Bethesda only published New Vegas.
Obsidian developed it.

I've been trying to pick that game up for ages now (I play the pen and paper RPG), and I've always wondered how much it inspired the Fallout series. Is it as beautifully flawed as their later efforts?

 

[blaqknoise]

I played it on xbox so I didn't get many bugs.

I didn't think it was the greatest game. I liked it, but it's not in my top 10.

I haven't got very far into it yet so it's too early to say, but speaking as a long time fan of the RPG and Lovecraft's books I will say the atmosphere is nicely done and the visualisation of Innsmouth is (allowing for the older graphics and tech) pretty much spot on.

Only issue I've had with it is a scorpion in the ground, which is pretty common.

My only other complaint is some of the weapons look a little phoned in, or like toys. They blatnatly didn't add detail to some of the gens, and that look really irks me when I play it.

New Vegas was a pretty good game- the bugs when it launched was enough to turn a lot of people off, but they're alot better now.

I would have to agree, its one of my favorite games, and beats out Fallout 3 on my list. It was very well made (besides, ya know, all the fucking bugs), it was entertaining, engaging, and funny.

 

[Woodsey]

Not by a long shot, although I will admit I enjoyed it a lot (although it hasn't much alleviated my opinion of Obsidian). I was lucky enough to not hit any bugs beyond a couple of crashes in around 40 hours of play.

Apart from the one where your frame rate gets killed with too many characters on screen though. That was weird.

 

[metal mustache]

I would have liked it more if one of the bugs hadn't mutated into a virus and killed my ps3

No, the plot is still somewhat poor and suffers from a few game design flaws like the use of the invisible walls, which has a big impact on it being a open world game.

It also doesn't deserve a lot of gameplay praise either, considering most of it is copy pasted from Fallout 3. Also, none of the settlements actually feel like inhabited areas, they seem more like a bunch of derelict buildings with a few NPCs standing outside of them.
So in other words, no, I don't think it's the best game ever either.

 

[Zacharious-khan]

No it isn't its an ok game. Not even because of the bugs, just because its not that amazing. It does just about every pretty well but nothing really spectacularly.

 

[caush123]

i enjoy Fallout 3 much more then i did New Vegas, whether it was cause the hype of New Vegas being awesome but was extremely lacking once you got there, or the outragious amount of glitches. then there was the dog tag quest that i couldnt finish. finding shit tons of radscropions in the ground, Old Lady Gibson, all her dogs, and a few mole rats coming out of a random building on the other side of the map trying to attack me or that my game would freeze when i tried to open a barrack to turn in a quest.
All i can say is that i dont remember Fallout 3 had WAY less glitches then this.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

I like it, but in my humble opinion, Fallout 3 is closer to perfection than any game I have played.

I never really had problems with bugs in NV, there were just a lot of things that pissed me off.

 

[Xealeon]

Meh, I thought Fallout 3 was much better as a game and didn't have quite as many bugs.
