It's called fallout for a reason, of course it is gonna have some things similar to it. If it didn't than it shouldn't have had fallout in front of it silly bo billy.

This is the idea that the game has an absolute ending. To me, Broken Steel annoyed me almost as much as the teleporter bugs in Zeta because of the fact that the main questline after Project Purity was all good karma.Get_A_Grip_ said:
The 'evil karma' choices, while fun, are not really wholly in everyone's character. Surely the truely evil option would be to help the Enclave defeat the Brotherhood? Have a parallel mission where you have to fight into the carrier alongside Enclave troops (after they lost it to the Brotherhood assualt) so you can launch the nukes at the Citidal with some sort of purpose rather than 'Whoops, wrong button' evil logic.
Besides that, you see little change in the wasteland after you return from the dead. If you poisoned the water, what do you get? A message that effectively says 'Don't drink too much in one go', a message from Three Dog on the radio every now and again (presuming you haven't killed him) saying that people have died, and the odd beggar you can poison. That's it? Rivet city and Megaton aren't dead wrecks, littered with corpses? No-one suspects its you? You were put into a coma, even if you were outside the chamber, and your dog survives unharmed? And the Enclave never bothered to use this massive silo of ordanance they had stored? Sure, save some in case of a secrect weapon, but why wasn't the Cidatel already nuked or attacked?
The level cap raise and the extra enemies makes broken steel interesting, but in many ways I feel it was just trying too hard, but didn't do enough. No real changes are seen after you come back, and everything was more or less resolved before, which asks the question 'Why didn't they use any of this massive arsenal of technology, nuclear weapons and deathclaws they had before?' Because the designers needed something useful for the flamer fuel.
Fallout New Vegas is very, very different from FO3. FO3 is easy mode compared to the difficulties imposed on character creation, perk selection, and skill checks in NV. Personally, I think they went a little far "De-noobing" FO3. When they make the next game, some balance between the these two games would be ideal. Definitely a fun game so far though.

What the fuck? Have you posted in about 50% of all threads since then?
Edit: Er. That's 10 months. I thought it was like 5. Gay
Still, wow. Any feedback?OT: I don't care if it is a rip-off, Fallout 3 is great. I'd gladly play it again with a different story and a few more features.
The map of new vegas is actually bigger than the capitol wastland.darkkan2125 said:
"We took about the same amount of space that was in 3, plus we added a little to the north and a little down south. On top of that we have more total locations then were in fallout 3"
Maybe it feels smaller because the game just came out and u obviously didnt do everything yet.
Sounds like it has at least as much content as Fallout 3, with more variation as far as scenery goes. Yes, the engine has long ago lost it's freshness. Yes, it has bugs. But keep some things in mind:
- they don't even market this game as Fallout 4. That title is reserved for a future Bethesda-developed installment. You shouldn't expect a new engine or even a much altered version of the engine.
- Compare most games in a series with the game that immediately preceded it. Are there changes? Yes. Does it look completely different? Rarely. And when it does look completely different, there has usually been more then 2 years in between the releases.
This topic just comes across as amateur trolling.

I was a little upset that the engine was the same when I first found out.
It wasn't that I expected them to upgrade the old one, but maybe make a spin off for PC with classic Fallout isometric view.
Yeah, I know. Nonsensical nostalgia wishes.

To anyone who said yes, ಠ_ಠ
The game is a sequel, it just happens to have a smaller map etc. There is plenty of new content, a new plot, new things to do and new places to explore, that's what makes it a sequel. We are getting a new game, stop being greedy and overly expectant.

Yes, it could have been DLC. But then again you could also have released Halo ODST as DLC, together with L4D2 and some other sequels I couldn't be bothered thinking of right now. And let's face it: Who's got the space to fit all that on their 360 hard drives? I know PCs can manage, but my Xbox sure can't.
That being said it would still cost the same, with the development taking the same amount of time, and the vast amount of content rivaling a 'true stand-alone game'.
So I guess my question to you would be, apart from having to buy a shiny new disc, what's your point?

Despite all the bugs, it's a fairly meaty game. Easily something I'd rather pay $60 for than, say, Halo Reach.
Those kinds of games are always excellent deals if you get a lot of fun out of them.

hmmm 188 say no 21 say yes..... i think you have your answer. personally i feel that new vegas is superior to fallout 3 in every way possible. i havent even experienced any glitches in my 6 hours in so far. my only regret about the whole thing is that i have a fucking job and cant sit at home playing it all day like i did with fallout 3 when i was unemployed
