been playing new vegas for a couple of hours already, so here what i think so far. cause im not very far in the game, i'll still keep spoilers at minimum.(at the rocket factory)
i'm a HUGE fan of fallout 3, i've played the game 3 times already and still i get something new everytime.
but new vegas was kind of a disappointment for me, why ?
first off, the game drops you off right from the beginning, no build up, just create your character and start the game, compared the fallout 3 where the first hour you were stuck in the vault, many thought that was too long and boring, but it helped build up the whole vault guy out in the wasteland tone, the image of exiting the vault and seeing the wasteland will be forever stuck in my brain. New vegas on the other hand just doesnt have that "WOW, OMFG what should i do now" feeling.
#2. in fallout 3, quest were clear, factions (although just 2 major ones) motives were clearly identified, you knew the brotherhood was the good guys, the enclaves were the bad guys. Here, you get thrown into soo many different factions, NCR, Legion, Powder ganger..etc...and you only get a brief idea of whats going on, and nothings really explained unless you go dig for it or read the terminal notes.........sigh...
#3. Items and bullets, i understand you can break down bullets and create new stuff but it's wayyyy too complicated.....i get soo many bullet cases, boxes and so on and i dont even know wtf am i suppose to do with them, i've got sufficient ammo just by killing and looting, unless i have to make hollow points or armor piercing(which i dont see the point, cause the damage isn't that much of a difference)
#4. sooo much loot, i'm over encumbered !!! AGAIN !!! dont know why but it seems when ever i kill someone they have tons of stuff to loot and they all carry some junk with them( i'm NOT playing hardcore mode atm)
#5. bad voice acting....just talk with Sunny Smiles..nuff said.
#6. Radio, i've found 3 radio signal so far, and they alll play the fricking same songs over and over........ I LOVED GNR, that's what got me into the good old classic, i can listen to those tracks over and over again, the nexus "more from where that came from" mod even took me further into the genre, ink spots, billie holidays....good times...
but new vegas radio songs are unbearable ....i'll say there are a few good songs on the list.but damn......
#7. shit graphics...bugs arent that a big deal for me, but on the pc, the graphic is like playing oblivion....
just to sum up, the game is a mess, feels alot like a big community mod and an actual retail game.....new stuffs in the game like laser sight, surpressors, extra ammo clips were already made by nexus as a mod for fallout 3 last year...
6/10 for me
