*I already bought it in a retail store for $49 hug*

Besides, when we had the sales over December/into early January, New Vegas dropped to the low, low price of $67.

*Almost half price is almost half price hug*

It's a pretty fun game from what I've played, although I liked the exploration more in Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was, "I wonder what's over there? A bunch of raiders and some mirelurks? Hmmm, I can take them so long as I don't do anything stupid" whereas New Vegas is like, "An unexplored location on my compass? I think I'll head towar- oh yay, a pack of feral ghouls/a deathclaw. Why even bother letting me explore at the start if you're just going to fill the whole area with enemies that make it extremely annoying to do anything but the main storyline quests?"

I've encountered more freaking deathclaws and feral ghouls than fucking raiders so far.

*Then its not a good game hug*

Thats the very problem right there. If the game is going to punish you for being an open world game to level you up a certain way, then the game is done wrong, and isn't fun. I know that I wandered around a very long time in 3 so far, and I have been able to take care of myself in just about every situation that comes up. If I ran into a deathclaw right off the beaten path in the beginning, thats just bad game design, and frustrating.

So yeah, like I said, not worth the price vs enjoyment factor.

*Oh, it's still a very fun game hug*

Everything else has been improved, it's just that exploration is a little more limited at the start because things like giant radscorpions, feral ghoul reavers and deathclaws are near a large number of the locations just off the beaten track. Some of what New Vegas does is better, whilst some of what Fallout 3 does is better, but they're both fun games.
