Fallout: New Vegas - 2 Wastelands, 2,000,000 Problems

Game Podunk DubiousCow writes, "I'm just going to come out and say it: playing New Vegas is a chore for me. Whether it's the massive amount of running around on the same roads from Fallout 3 or one of the fetch quests I've already done (right now I'm on a fetch quest within a fetch quest), it's just monotonous and repetitive. I'm just 6 or so hours in and I already want to quit playing. Maybe I have A.D.D., or maybe the game is just bad..."

its time to let go of that piece of shit engine

Dramscus4956d ago

Agreed. Characters have been weird from the get go, they never look like their part of the world, it's like their super imposed ontop. weirdness.
Also they should use motion capture like the other top notch devs are doing.

Reibooi4956d ago

Yeah they really need to start using either a totally new engine or just use Id Tech 5 engine since Id is part of the company now. Either way will make the fallout and elder scrolls series WAY better.

I really hope the rumors that the next Elder scrolls is using the same engine aren't true.

tacosRcool4956d ago

Its time to make these games less buggy at launch.

I want to see ELDER SCROLLS V!!!!!!!!!!!

zeddy4956d ago

even though oblivions engine was bad(ps3)it was a beautiful game to look at especially at night when the stars come out, not to mention it was a joy to play compared to heap of crap fallout 3.

KingKiff4956d ago (Edited 4956d ago )

I bought the Fallout 3 GOTY ed, from steam on sale for $5-USD... And I loved it, but that's just me.

I never encountered any bugs in the game and I've put over 40 odd hours into so far. What have you guys come across?

EDIT @ Piros

That makes sense lol. Glad I waited for a bargain. Single players are not worth day 1 prices.

PirosThe4th4956d ago

When it first came out all versions were full of bugs...
xD
That steam version you got its likely patched to hell with the latest patches anyways...

Mista T4956d ago

Fallout 4 is being made with iD's engine, you heard it here first :P

Der_Kommandant4956d ago

Its time to stop supporting those developers

I really dont see the big deal? I haven't had one crash. Sure the frame rate is a little shoddy, but its far from a game breaker, the graphics are freakin sweet still, and most of all the game is really fun. More fun than most at that. Go take your complaints and your vocal minority with you scrubs.

Hellsvacancy4956d ago (Edited 4956d ago )

Good 4 u buddy tell it how it is (i even bubbled u up)

AuToFiRE4956d ago

it is a fun game but i can see what hes on about, i noticed a lot of the textures are the same, the map looks like no attention was even put in it, same with the quests

WetN00dle694956d ago

Yeah thats true BUT the game is fun.
And to me thats all that matters!

Beahmscream4956d ago

The engine was good... 3 years ago.
I agree, time to move on.

R_aVe_N4956d ago

I got an idea lets cry some more.... Another new game and another site trying to get hits really sad... Who really runs around once you have map locations you can just warp around the map? What do you think an open world game is really every open world game made you do a lot of running, quests, and back tracking. If you don't like it stfu and go to another genre.

WOMBLE624956d ago (Edited 4956d ago )

The game has crashed for me once and the frame rate isn't great but I'm enjoying it nonetheless. I've put about 10 hours in so far and haven't got much to complain about.

Edit: Also lets remember it is an RPG, it was never meant to be a quick play through linear style game, it does require a hell of a lot of work to 100% it. If that isn't your style of game then move on to something else.

lucifon4956d ago (Edited 4956d ago )

10 hours and 1 crash isn't major which is good to hear. I'll have my copy tomorrow. Glad they're fixing the issues pretty quick though it seems. Obsidian always have buggy releases, it was a given.

My friend told me today he headshotted a guy who then flew up in the air and landed back down on him - killing him in the process. I found that to be a pretty awesome bug haha ;)

WOMBLE624956d ago

Yeah that's the cool thing, most of the bugs I have seen have been funny like a Ghoul getting its head stuck in the ceiling while still trying to run, and the bugs aren't common enough to be a major issue. Also the music adds to the overall hilarity of the game, blowing mutants heads off to some 50's country and western makes possibly one of the most entertaining experiences I've had on a game since Vice City.

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
