You should get it. It is rly buggy but it's no worst then fallout 3 was, I bought the regular fallout 3 game then got the goty edition thinking that version would have most of the bugs worked out and it was still just as buggy so I doubt it'll get a ton better. They put a patch out that made things a bit more smoother and for the most part even with the bugs you'll find a lot of things to do in it that'll still suck you in unless your playing for the simple point of focusing on everything wrong with it. My main vent with the game is the shitty 1perk/2lv they did ; ; I miss my perks every lv!
For a good while I was against buying New Vegas. It just didn't seem like it made any significant changes from 3. ... I caved in and bought it today. It's just as fun as 3 was.
No bugs on the computer release as far as I've experienced, though the framerate seems to have a few issues. Regardless I think you will enjoy the game if you enjoyed the third, its largely the same, yes. But since the main fun in Fallout was exploration and dismemeberment, you should be able to enjoy both in New Vegas. There's also the modding and shit which might be interesting, though I still haven't reached it in my game. (I'm enjoying it, but I find I need plenty of breaks inbetween, I'm more a fan of wondering round killing people than finding my way through dark coridors and laboratories)McFox said:
I am currently playin git on the 360 and have yet to run into any major bugs. The bugs for the most part seem to come from PC users with all of their different specs but back to the point. It is a lot like Fallout 3 but it also has its own flare. The New Vegas section is great and the scenery at least changes from dreary green to dreary brown. But a question I have is do you play sequels to any series? If so chances are that those games were like the original but with tweaks which is basically what New Vegas is.
I typically do; however, I did have bad experiences with both the Resident Evil Series ( The fith game was lame) and Gears of War (Extremely disappointed in the multiplayer from the second). I just hope that I won't be spending money on a game that I'll eventually become disappointed in. More than likely, I'll be renting it first before I actually do purchase it.deonte9109 said:
Yes it is worth it. There may be one or two bugs for some people but apart from the occasional game crash my copy has worked fine.

You should get it, eventually. I have yet to have a bug in my 20 or so hours of game play on the PC, but I need luck somewhere in my life.
Actually, the only bug I did see was when a dog was sitting on a chair and trying to walk up a person sitting next to it (on another chair). However, that is normal considering the engine that is running it.

Although it shares some of the same core gameplay with Fallout 3, the feel and experience of it are more in line with the original Fallout games. Being that Obsidian includes members of the original Fallout's development team, that doesn't really come as a surprise, but it's a welcome change of pace from Fallout 3. They've made several minor additions to Fallout 3's formula that altogether make it a better game; new weapons, upgraded crafting system, hardcore mode, some actual humor / pop culture references, the faction element that makes decisions far less about good/bad and much more about ambiguous choices, improvements to skills, additional perks/traits, excessive content, enemies returning from Fallout 2, etc.
My understanding with the bugs is that, while prevalent across all platforms, some of the stranger bugs are largely on the PC version; on 360, I've personally had 3 freezes in 30 hours of play time, about five or six situations where enemies clipped through the ground, and the occasional quest take a turn for the strange; if you can accept bugs once in a while and remember to save often, the game is an improvement on Fallout 3 in nearly every sense of the word otherwise. Having found Fallout 3 to be lacking compared to the rest of the franchise, the depth and style of New Vegas are a nice change of pace.

Haha I don't feel it's enough like Fallout 3. Bring back the perks every level and bobble heads. I would have liked to run in one or two people from Fallout 3. Also the crafting seems like a bit much. It sorta reminds me of fallout 1 and 2, especially with all the references.
Either way it a great game you should buy it.

Go for it. Nearly all of the bugs are already fixed and the remaining minor ones can be easily fixed with mods.
New Vegas blows Fallout 3 out of radioactive water. As much as I enjoyed 3, NV does "Fallout" far better and there is no going back to the Capital Wasteland now.

Most definitely yes. New Vegas is actually less buggy than FO3 (with the unofficial DirectX fix and day 1+2 patches). The game is far better than FO3 in so many ways. The quests are a lot more complex, the dialogue and text is more humorous, the immersion is better, the world is more detailed, shooting mechanics are improved, and there is more variety in everything (weapons, armors, things to do, monsters). The only downside that I could see in this game, aside from the bugs you may encounter, is the crappy engine. If you can tolerate that, you should get New Vegas.
Can you tolerate major bugs? Did you like Fallout 2 and wish it could be recreated on a modern game engine? Are you willing to accept that Fallout 3 was way too easy and Obsidian has made efforts to correct the problem that will likely frustrate the fuck out of you until you get your head around the idea that "this is NOT Fallout 3 no matter how much it looks and plays like it"?
Then get New Vegas. Legitimate Game of the Year candidate even with the bugs.

if you loved fallout 3 and you are willing to give endless hours to unlocking every single thing in the game so thats like 100 hours minimum, then yes, go and buy this right now, lock yourself in your room and dont come out until your eyes are bleeding from the awesome. also, dont forget to patch it because it is quite buggy
