FileFront: Fallout: New Vegas Review

FileFront writes: "Fallout. The very name conjures to mind images of an irradiated wasteland rife with mutants, profiteers, slavers, and refugees. Bethesda received both praise and scorn for their take on the universe in Fallout 3, and I have faith that things will be much the same for Obsidian’s entry into the series, Fallout: New Vegas. So, is New Vegas a worthy successor to Bethesda’s epic tale?"

Pros:

* Outstanding overall game experience
* Multiple companions
* Solid narrative and story
* Wild Wasteland Perk
* New perks are fun and useful

Cons:

* Dated graphics
* Pathing and collision issues
* Horrific loading times

So they highly recommend the perk but say DO NOT use it if you're a serious Fallout player? Little bit of a contradiction.

ECM0NEY4981d ago

Thats weird. What does it do? I read it but what is all the wacky stuff?

Cyrus3654981d ago

Horrific Load times, they must be playing with the PS3 version! ;) Kidding

SilverSlug4981d ago

but the PS3 version does have a 5gb install. FFFFFFFFFFFF...

I would HOPE for approve load times.

Perjoss4981d ago

I thought the load times for dead rising 2 were terrible (fully installed) but it didn't stop me having fun.

NickX4981d ago

Someone on Neogaf did say the load times on his 360 version were bad. Up to 20 seconds at a time while you are playing. But that's not a issue for me, I can put up with that for such a wide open game.

Cyrus3654981d ago

So the game had horrifc load time, game crashing bugs, yet it gets a 91?

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.

Vits36d ago (Edited 36d 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.

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.

Kaii36d ago

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

anast35d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM35d 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.

gunnerforlife35d 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.

S2Killinit35d ago

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

gunnerforlife35d 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.

-Foxtrot57d ago

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

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0756d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH55d ago

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

Friendlygamer55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

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

saint_seya55d ago
