Review: Fallout: New Vegas

After a nuclear war, there is a man, with a hat (presumably an awesome hat), who tried to survive a nuclear blast in a fridge. Blatant nod to Indy, methinks. Complete with realistic interpretation of your actual survival chance in a refrigerator...SpiderJerusalem said:
Not sure on this one... I'm torn between this, Black Ops, and Dead Rising 2. I have a flat-mate who'll definitely get New Vegas and Black Ops though, so I'll be able to try before I buy.
awesome, but OH NO BUGS
oh god i hope the game won't just die after a while like fallout 3.
sure the ps3 version was the buggiest and froze a lot, but now i can't play a straight 15 minutes without some sort of freezing going on. god i hope that doesn't happen again.

Sounds good to me. A bit more keen to p;ick this up now. Plus, seeing that everyone is making a comment on the Indiana Jones reference, I may as well through my tuppence in. That's a neat little reference. I shall forgive it the fact that it gives people another chance to say they didn't like the film, or bizarrely call it a "rip-off", a statement which seemingly has no basis in logic or even the slightest bit of commen sense whatsoever.
Yes, I actually enjoyed Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and thought it was a good film, if you're wondering.
Anyway, New Vegas.....

Hardcore mode sounds a whole lot like what I've been doing for years playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl. Interesting...
It looks awesome though. I'll get it for PC if I can run it, which probably won't happen.
EDIT: I just checked system requirements and hot damn off to the stores!

I can remember some of those bugs in Fallout 3. There was one instance before I even met Reiley's Rangers that I found one of them in the north-east corner of the map being attacked by super mutants. Of course by the time I was in range they had already blown the guys head off. So later when I actually did the Reily's Rangers quest he wasn't there.
On the plus side, it got me the ranger armor (what I consider the best armor in the game) that much earlier.

I've been playing New Vegas all day today (re-installing because of some funk with my save games. :/), but from what i've seen I agree with what you have said here. Its Fallout 3 with a lighter tone and some cool locations while still afflicted by a few little issues that were in that previous game.
Unfortunately, the game play in the review doesn't do the game too much justice. I like the look of it though, especially with Hardcore mode which the originals never had anyway.
Shame they still use/forced to use the Oblivion engine, which really does not work too well.

Some folks just need to understand that when you sleep outside in the wide open world of fallout...you'll wake up with bugs in your undies...
I'm really hesitant to play with hardcore enabled. I don't know why, I just... think it'll ruin the experience for me.
I should get my game on Friday *fingers crossed*

I do find it funny how almost every reviewer gave Bethesda room to have a glitch-filled game, but if Obsidian does it...
What? Dark humour? I can't wait to throw some dynomite down a outhouse.
I'm just liking it if it doesn't force me to start in some boring vault with choices with very little impact whatsoever and the endless metro tunnels of crap, 9000 supermutants to kill and only raiders are the other 1000 enemies. Oh and a story not revolving around being daddies little confused retard kid.
Also more weapons and hopefully a better damage system, i wish they would have mentioned something about the new damage system that was implemented.
