Poll: Is New Vegas a rip off?

[BENZOOKA]

"And now! At Last! Another game completely different from some of the other games which aren't quite the same as this one is."

A half of an Internets cookie for reference.

I bought it on steam and can start playing it in a day or so. Silly thread is silly.

I've been playing New Vegas for a while now and i think it just should of been an expansion at a lower price not a full priced game.

New Vegas is just basically Fallout 3

cept

the map is smaller

the bugs are back

mod arent out for it

and there no liberty prime ...yet

That's cause you bought the wrong game, obviously the real fallout sequel is FFXIII, they changed so much you'll notice its almost an entirely new game. Infact, they even went ahead and changed the name.

Good luck, hope this helps. =]

I'd hope you aren't being serious. FFXIII is as linear as Final Fantasy games come, and has no character customization. Not even close to a decent Fallout game.

Not even in the slightest, I'm just somewhat frustrated with this thread, probably because it reminds me of the people who bitched that Starcraft 2 was more of an expansion than a sequel.

I actually hadn't planned on buying FO:NV due to a combination of general disappointment with FO3's story and Obsidian's track record of woefully broken games. I ended up receiving the collector's edition as a gift, though, and am I ever glad I did!

New Vegas actually has heart and complexity in ways I didn't dare hope. The simplistic good/evil karma has been replaced by regional reputation. The combat is more engaging than FO3's thanks to aim-down-sights and differing armor/ammo combinations. Skills other than combat are actually useful on a regular basis (even speech). The story is morally ambiguous and engaging rather than resembling something a sixth grader could write. I could go on and on...

OP:

-I'm not sure if you're trolling or what, but the game map is actually larger than FO3's. Further, the main storyline takes longer to complete than FO3's, and the side-quests are actually more story driven.

-The game engine is the same, yes, but that's not particularly uncommon for a sequel. Mods will be made, I assure you. I'm not sure how the lack thereof at this juncture is relevant.

-There are quite a few little bugs in the game, such as clipping issues and funky AI pathing, but I haven't encountered anything game-breaking yet. It's really in the nature of free-roam games to have buggy starts, and patches will come.

-Liberty Prime may not be in the game, but in my opinion it was just a poor deus ex machina to cap off an utterly laughable storyline. New Vegas has some pretty epic moments as well, anyway.

No. Just no. Nothing is a rip off of anything.

The map is smaller, big whoop, I bet it isn't noticeable.

Of course, it's a Bethesda engine they are using, I believe. And Obsidian have the reputation for making buggy games as well. It would also explain why it feels like it's basically F3

It's only just come out, give them a bloody chance.

And Liberty Prime was a load of shit in Fallout 3 in my eyes. [footnote]*Hides in Vault*[/footnote]

Also you could say that for any sequel:
Hurr durr Bioshock 2 should have been a DLC

And also that. Nearly every sequel is an expansion pack to me.

Fallout New Vegas is a ripoff of Fallout 3?

Kinda like Bad Company 2 being a ripoff of Bad Comapny 1?

There is a specific name for this kind of rip off:

SEQUEL

In other news:

Majora's Mask a rip off of Ocarina of Time?

OH MY GOD THEY'RE THE SAME GAME EXACTLY! HOW DID I NOT NOTICE TILL NOW! HOW CREATIVELY BANKRUPT AND LAZY!

For serious though, I think the premise of this thread deserves a nice round of /facepalm.

-m

It's a sequel. Isn't it supposed to be somewhat similar?

It is not a ripoff. It is made from the same company for the same series. You don't even deserve the title of fan if you go around insulting a Fallout game. And in case you didn't realize, the map is a very similar size to its predecessor. You honestly didn't even try to put of a valid argument. Next time you want to complain about something, get a real reason.

If it were a rip-off then the story and characters would be similar and it'd be set in a similar location.

All characters are new.
The location is entirely different.
The story is entirely different.

Oh, and the map size is the same as Fallout 3's, we were told that before it was even released.

Nothing is a rip off in Fallout 3, except you can say Fallout 3 ripped off of Fallout 2 cause they are totally different games, but use the same idea.

Majora's Mask a rip off of Ocarina of Time?

I only scanned the first page but already all of you don't get the point

The op is asking if [strong]buying the game for 60 bucks is a rip-off not if the game is a rip off of fallout3[/strong]

I.E. theirs not enough new content to warrant 60 bucks

use your brains people...

Doesn't he mean a rip off as in not worth buying for the price?

yes

Are you nine? Your spelling and grammar is horrible.

OT: Just because the map is smaller doesn't mean it's a rip off. That's just blatant nit-picking. Also, Liberty Prime isn't in New Vegas.

 

[darkman80723]

I like it. Seems a true sequel from Fallout 3, love the 9mm pistol, fan-freaking-tasticly better intro sequence then F3 (that first like 20mins was torture), and Im really digging the reputation system....

But I have one complaint, almost a deal breaker in my book...close anyway. Im pining for some THREE DOG and gnr, loved that dj and his music. cant stand the crap on this game. Personally since it is Vegas there should have been a crooner station (one they have comes close, but not close enough for me) and the other should be a 60s-early 70s hippie station with a dj named Raoul....just my opinion anyway

"It's exactly the same except for all that new stuff".

This is a great quote.

 

[olendvcook]

]If he was truly asking this, why would he make a list of negatives?
He's posting this for attention, the question is loaded and it's just an excuse to get his opinion out. Fine, except his opinion is meaningless if this thread is the only thing he has ever created.

Why does he make a list of negatives? because those are the reasons why he feels it is not worth 60 bucks, you don't have to agree with his reasons but the question remains. Hell even i think he gives bad reasons.

I've been playing New Vegas for a while now and i think it just should of been an expansion at a lower price not a full priced game.

Translation: Is all the new content worth the 60 dollar price tag?

Fine, except his opinion is meaningless if this thread is the only thing he has ever created.

I'm not even going over how ignorant that sentence is...

 

[MoeTheMonk]

I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet, but I think he meant "rip-off" to refer to the price of the game, not to New Vegas "ripping off" Fallout 3.

 

[Stuntcrab]

the map is smaller - Just wait for dlc

the bugs are back - All games will have bugs nothing is perfect

mod arent out for it - It was JUST released, grow some patience

and there no liberty prime ...yet - .....

 

[NeedAUserName]

You can't ripoff your own product...

 

[Daden]

I'm not sure if anyone has said this yet, but I think he meant "rip-off" to refer to the price of the game, not to New Vegas "ripping off" Fallout 3.

Either way he is wrong, so the poll results should remain unchanged.

That implies that New Vegas is a rip off of Fallout 3.
Use your brain.

Wow, I didn't realize there were so many ninjas here...
I haven't gotten New Vegas yet simply because I haven't had time, and I'm not allowed to play any games right now. I've seen some gameplay, and while I agree it looks very similar and has bugs, that isn't very much of a problem. There are a ton of new features and the incredible similarity will just add to the nostalgia.
