Bethesda make the weirdest RPGs, the enemy AI is reasonably sucky, the loading times are appalling, the facial models make me never want to sleep again and there are bugs galore, and yet I think I love every one of them since Morrowind. Long live Bethesda and their lame, limping but somehow amazing games...
Fallout New Vegas almost best game ever?

I played it on xbox so I didn't get many bugs.
I didn't think it was the greatest game. I liked it, but it's not in my top 10.

I haven't got very far into it yet so it's too early to say, but speaking as a long time fan of the RPG and Lovecraft's books I will say the atmosphere is nicely done and the visualisation of Innsmouth is (allowing for the older graphics and tech) pretty much spot on.glowbug3 said:
Only issue I've had with it is a scorpion in the ground, which is pretty common.
My only other complaint is some of the weapons look a little phoned in, or like toys. They blatnatly didn't add detail to some of the gens, and that look really irks me when I play it.
New Vegas was a pretty good game- the bugs when it launched was enough to turn a lot of people off, but they're alot better now.
I would have to agree, its one of my favorite games, and beats out Fallout 3 on my list. It was very well made (besides, ya know, all the fucking bugs), it was entertaining, engaging, and funny.

Not by a long shot, although I will admit I enjoyed it a lot (although it hasn't much alleviated my opinion of Obsidian). I was lucky enough to not hit any bugs beyond a couple of crashes in around 40 hours of play.
Apart from the one where your frame rate gets killed with too many characters on screen though. That was weird.

It also doesn't deserve a lot of gameplay praise either, considering most of it is copy pasted from Fallout 3. Also, none of the settlements actually feel like inhabited areas, they seem more like a bunch of derelict buildings with a few NPCs standing outside of them.mad825 said:
So in other words, no, I don't think it's the best game ever either.
No it isn't its an ok game. Not even because of the bugs, just because its not that amazing. It does just about every pretty well but nothing really spectacularly.
i enjoy Fallout 3 much more then i did New Vegas, whether it was cause the hype of New Vegas being awesome but was extremely lacking once you got there, or the outragious amount of glitches. then there was the dog tag quest that i couldnt finish. finding shit tons of radscropions in the ground, Old Lady Gibson, all her dogs, and a few mole rats coming out of a random building on the other side of the map trying to attack me or that my game would freeze when i tried to open a barrack to turn in a quest.
All i can say is that i dont remember Fallout 3 had WAY less glitches then this.

I like it, but in my humble opinion, Fallout 3 is closer to perfection than any game I have played.
I never really had problems with bugs in NV, there were just a lot of things that pissed me off.

seriously? you lucky bastard. i have it on ps3, and its just crashed completely several times. the bugs made the game scary because i just didn't know when it would crash and lose all my progress. VATS takes a good couple of seconds to load every time which really breaks the mood for me.SgtFoley said:
i am just amazed you encountered no bugs on ps3.
Played it when it came out, but never finished it because of the many-many bugs. I have heard that they have fixed most of them on pc but owners of console versions are still shit out of luck on that department. Probably going to buy it again when goty or something with all the dlc comes out. But even without the bugs it's probably not the best game ever, because a game that turns playable after six or so months is not "the best game ever" material in my books.
The radio kept playing that Heartache by the Number song so I re-wrote the lyrics while waiting for things to load. I also started working on lyrics for a song called "Johnny Retard." I sometimes heard that song play twice in a row.Unborn023 said:
I've encountered very little in the way of bugs.
I have, however, encountered what I call broken game-play mechanics. Like, for example, having a morality system and a faction system, neither of which seemed to work. Why is it that ordering somebody to be crucified rather than opting for an honorable dual doesn't give me negative karma? Why does deciding to assist a group of escaped thieves and murderers only result in their captors hating me, and not everybody else in the world hating me too? Why does each major faction offer me a chance to renew favor with them for literally NO COST at a certain point, despite me murdering every single person in their faction that I have ever met? How is it that I killed everybody and stole everything on my way to New Vegas, and arrived with the morality class Paladin?
The game-play itself was solid, as all Bethesda games are, but they added some ridiculous things to the game that were either unneeded or fundamentally broken (either through bad implementation, just un-immersive, or roleplay breaking.) These things made it impossible for me to enjoy it. As such, no. In my opinion, New Vegas is nowhere near the best game ever. In my opinion, it doesn't even rank.
Of course, that doesn't discredit your opinion, but that's my 2 cents.
