I am voicing some facts and some opinion. The opinions I voice are explained through certain critical standards.

New Vegas was a good attempt but the story is nothing more than flat
How do you describe flat here?

and lets not forget they promised a definitive end to the game not just some slide shows for an ending. They gave us a shit bunch of slid shows that had all the bad voice actors read the script instead of Ron Perlman, the story never goes anywhere and its a shit premise.
But there was a definitive ending to the game. The lands that had been warred over by the different factions were brought peace by one of the factions defeating the others definitively with the player's help. That's certainly more definitive than Fallout 3's "the maguffin has been used - end of game."
And let's not forget that Fallout 3 had slides at the end as well, it's just the slides in Fallout 3 were pointless and only changed depending on two factors, your karma level and your final choice (sacrifice yourself or your companion).
The slides in New Vegas told you how your actions had influenced almost every single prominent NPC, faction and sub-faction within the game. To say the story didn't go anywhere is completely untrue.
And like I said to the other guy, the "death of the post apocalyptic old west" is a more nuanced and complicated premise than "things are bad, use Liam Neeson's magical artifact to fix them."
If you think that makes it shit that's your business.

Nothing you do matters as you dont get to experience the choices made.
If by "you don't get to experience" you mean you don't get to keep playing after the credits then yeah. But bear in mind you don't get to experience the choices made in Fallout 3 because even if you can keep playing after the end, they literally don't have an effect (bear in mind also that you have to pay for the privilege to keep playing after the end). What you do does matter because even though you don't get to experience the effects first hand you are informed of the consequences of your actions.
No consequences to your actions is not superior to there being consequences that you are informed of second hand.

At least the tried in 3 with broken steel and had some success but could of done it better. This is my OPINION with some real facts about the fake promise about the ending, look it up.
If by "fake promise" you mean this

Then they absolutely did deliver.
