FYC: Fallout New Vegas Countdown – Day 5: First Impressions

Feed Your Console Says:

Ok OK – I’ve been asked for some thoughts on the game so far. Here we go.

I’m still very early into the game (only about 12hrs – I’ve accomplished NOTHING!) but I’m back in Wasteland bliss. The enviroments still look as bleak, gritty and dirty as always (especially taking place in the Mojave Desert) yet still beautiful. I really don’t want to say too much to anyone but I will say that as of this moment, the player assumes the role of a Courier who gets shot and left for dead for one reason or another and you set out to find out who shot you and why.

Slap a score on this and it would become more valid than the AOTF review.

Philoctetes4960d ago

This article still contained exactly zero information that we didn't already know. I could have written this article, and I don't have the game yet.

lastdual4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

The article is actually light on impressions, and mostly just tells about features that we already know of, like hardcore mode and the existence of different factions.

He's clearly having a good time, but he also jumps the gun, immediately assuming things like:

"For anyone wondering if this game is as big as Fallout 3, I can say with 100% certainty that it is"

How, after playing for 12 hours, would he know if there is as much content as Fallout 3? How would he have played enough to say that there were an equal or greater number of quests, for example?

Personally, I don't doubt that the quantity of content is on par, but to assume that this impression is more valid just because it is gushingly positive strikes me as immature.

Hey man - thanks for the constructive criticism. A vast majority of my time was spent wandering the wastes for an idea of the size all while talking to other NPCs and seeing what was out there. During that time, I never even made it into Vegas so you can see where the comment came from.

Your comments were great and true to a degree. I do this for hobby and in no way am I a pro at this. I'll try to make a more concerted effort to explain in greater detail next time. Thx again. Your comments will no doubt help me do better.

In fallout, 12 hours is not enough to make a review, maybe that's why he didn't put any score in it.
Unlike other games where it only takes 5 or so... :p

Hellsvacancy4960d ago

I completed Kane & Lynvh 2 in five hours, OUCH

Crazay4960d ago

That's right guys. It's really just a first impression review. I haven't had enough time with it so far to post a complete review of the title. I expect that come Tuesday, I will have since I have most of tonight and all day tomorrow.

SexyPrawns4960d ago

Well, keep us updated. You're the only legitimately coherent reviewer we've had so far.

CrzyFooL4960d ago

How come this asshat got an early copy!? Glad he likes it at least!!

Dave13514960d ago

Marylin4960d ago (Edited 4960d ago )

Some other people got it early as well. So jelly. >.<

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7213d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii13d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast13d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM13d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife12d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit12d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife12d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot34d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0733d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH33d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya32d ago
