I must agree, it does look shit. I'm downloading it try it out first, I know I'll quit within the first 20 minutes and never buy it, but I'm open to it proving me wrong. I liked the first F3 for a while, so more F3 is like why the fuck bother, I'm already bored of F3, I don't want more of the same!

How can a sequel be a ripoff?
The OP is wrong in my opinion but even I understood that he meant rip off it terms of waste of money not rip off that it's stealing stuff from FO3.

Just started playing and already hell no, it's worth every dollar and more.

Not exactly a bug, but I did find it funny that...

When I took a mission from Barton Thorn to save his girlfriend from geckos, he had just laid down to go to sleep even though it was urgent that the girl be saved. Guess he wasn't THAT concerned.

EDIT: Finished the side mission, now I know why :p

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
Dude... Seriously.

The map is about the same size.
Yes the bugs are back BUT THEY CAN AND WILL BE FIXED
There are no mods because the game was released yesterday and it's not even out in Europe yet!
And how needs Liberty when we have a giant dinosaur?

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was basically GTA 3, only they fixed a lot of the problems.
Clearly, it should've been only an expansion pack.

^This^

It's called fallout for a reason, of course it is gonna have some things similar to it. If it didn't than it shouldn't have had fallout in front of it silly bo billy.

The biggest issue I have with it is that you can't carry on after you complete the main quest.
They fixed this with Broken Steel in Fallout 3. But why did they have to make the same mistake twice? -_-
This is the idea that the game has an absolute ending. To me, Broken Steel annoyed me almost as much as the teleporter bugs in Zeta because of the fact that the main questline after Project Purity was all good karma.

The 'evil karma' choices, while fun, are not really wholly in everyone's character. Surely the truely evil option would be to help the Enclave defeat the Brotherhood? Have a parallel mission where you have to fight into the carrier alongside Enclave troops (after they lost it to the Brotherhood assualt) so you can launch the nukes at the Citidal with some sort of purpose rather than 'Whoops, wrong button' evil logic.

Besides that, you see little change in the wasteland after you return from the dead. If you poisoned the water, what do you get? A message that effectively says 'Don't drink too much in one go', a message from Three Dog on the radio every now and again (presuming you haven't killed him) saying that people have died, and the odd beggar you can poison. That's it? Rivet city and Megaton aren't dead wrecks, littered with corpses? No-one suspects its you? You were put into a coma, even if you were outside the chamber, and your dog survives unharmed? And the Enclave never bothered to use this massive silo of ordanance they had stored? Sure, save some in case of a secrect weapon, but why wasn't the Cidatel already nuked or attacked?

The level cap raise and the extra enemies makes broken steel interesting, but in many ways I feel it was just trying too hard, but didn't do enough. No real changes are seen after you come back, and everything was more or less resolved before, which asks the question 'Why didn't they use any of this massive arsenal of technology, nuclear weapons and deathclaws they had before?' Because the designers needed something useful for the flamer fuel.

Fallout New Vegas is very, very different from FO3. FO3 is easy mode compared to the difficulties imposed on character creation, perk selection, and skill checks in NV. Personally, I think they went a little far "De-noobing" FO3. When they make the next game, some balance between the these two games would be ideal. Definitely a fun game so far though.

Oh god your spelling DX

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

If you don't like it sell it or deal with it.

Also it was just released so of course there are bugs and no mods out, mods TAKE TIME!!!
...I thought you got banned...
or maybe that was the illusion of reality altering to screw with my head again...
OT: actually yes I agree with this person I am quoting...

No, this game feels far more like Fallout than Fallout 3 did. As to the lack of mods, those are player made and take at least a few days to get anything rolling (and the early mods are usually crap and nude skins any way.)

Member Since: 25 Mar 2010. - You have 31000 quotes.

What the fuck? Have you posted in about 50% of all threads since then?
Edit: Er. That's 10 months. I thought it was like 5. Gay :( Still, wow. Any feedback?

OT: I don't care if it is a rip-off, Fallout 3 is great. I'd gladly play it again with a different story and a few more features.

The map of new vegas is actually bigger than the capitol wastland.
"We took about the same amount of space that was in 3, plus we added a little to the north and a little down south. On top of that we have more total locations then were in fallout 3"
Maybe it feels smaller because the game just came out and u obviously didnt do everything yet.

Sounds like it has at least as much content as Fallout 3, with more variation as far as scenery goes. Yes, the engine has long ago lost it's freshness. Yes, it has bugs. But keep some things in mind:
- they don't even market this game as Fallout 4. That title is reserved for a future Bethesda-developed installment. You shouldn't expect a new engine or even a much altered version of the engine.
- Compare most games in a series with the game that immediately preceded it. Are there changes? Yes. Does it look completely different? Rarely. And when it does look completely different, there has usually been more then 2 years in between the releases.

This topic just comes across as amateur trolling.
