I'd be enjoying it right now but it caused my PC to freeze, then other games started freezing and now I gotta wait to find out what it is :< Probably GPU fan or something.
I am playing this and enjoying it just as I did Fallout 3! It is another wasteland at my disposal to rummage through, except this time I can gamble?! Oh the hours ahead!! Also, there are tons of small improvements...all across the board I think. I have run into the gun not firing bug in my playing already...and a freeze.
:thumbup::thumbup:
Odium, I just noticed that is the same place where my gun went crazy! I ended running away, saving and rebooting to fix it. hrm...
Oh its terrible in spots, even worse than Fallout 3 if you can imagine... But Fallout 3 at least had a rock solid game behind it. So far, FNV isn't impressing me at all, its just... Well... Boring? The main grip is that they made everything huge, with nothing inbetween. Its not like Fallout 3 where everything was near to each other with little things between. Here, you can walk for a good 10/15 minutes without seeing ANYTHING or ANYBODY... Thats just not fun.
It seems like the bugs are only on the console version? I'm like 8hrs into it and I haven't seen a single bug (Steam version). I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Though, I do wish there was some form of transportation, like the horse in Oblivion.

I'm playing on Steam
To be fair, my mates playing it on Steam as well, and he hasn't ran into a single issue... Yet I seem to be finding stuff every 10 minutes?
I have yet to run into any bugs (steam version, 15+ hours in), and I find this game to be superior to Fallout 3 in every way. Or rather, I consider Fallout: New Vegas to be that actual fallout 3. You can't become the superman who can max out all of this skills, tactically your choices are much greater (you can disguise yourself as certain factions to gain access to areas, pretend to be friendly until you put a butcher knife in their backs), the writing is better, you finally have ironsights, you're in an actual wasteland, and overall it's much more in the spirit of the original two games.
Bugs will be patched, and honestly do you expect an 80 hour game to be bug free?
All I can really say is that I'm having a blast with this one, even if everyone's faces still look like plastic beaten with the ugly stick.
Its a scientific fact, in a post apocalyptic future with that much radiation,
shadows just disappear from time and space.
or gamebryo...
Haha yup. Gamebryo sucks balls. AFAIK its capable of AO and definitely shadows but it just chugs real bad. I hope Beth are working on at least a modified version of Unreal for the next Oblivion ...
Gamebryo can support fully dynamic soft shadows. They were in Oblivion before they went "lol consoles can't run this, let's remove it entirely from the engine instead of leaving it in as a option for PC's since they can be upgraded and such and such" and then they just re-used that gimped version of gamebryo for everything else ever. AND IT SHOWS.
Restarted the game 5 times now ( I tend to make that many characters in games like this before I settle on a proper one <.<) and it's been great. It's much much MUCH better than Fallout 3 both story and gameplay wise, so far at least. Can't wait for the modders to get cranking on fixing up some things. Still wish I could see parts of this game rendered in Cryengine 2.. The Oblivion one looked jawdropping.
Currently playing this on xbox 360, it's the first Fallout for me and I'm finding it very impressive, infact I'm hopelessly addicted:poly142: FPS roleplay enables ass kicking with more interesting developments compared to your standard shooter, I love this genre so hats off to the dev team!
Yeah, aside from the bugs, New Vegas really does improve on F3's gameplay. I think I logged about fifty hours by the time I finished it, loved every second of it (especially once I got the black ranger armor coupled with the Desperado cowboy hat and authority glasses - the most badass outfit) and I think I'll be playing through again very soon to reassess my loyalties.
Anyone else play it on Hardcore mode? It added so much to the role-playing element for me, and after going back to F3 without it, the game seems way too easy, even on hard. Shame you need a mod to enable those kind of features in F3.
gawwwd I bought this and its sucked me right in like 3 did but much worse.. wife and kids went away to see relatives for 4 days and I did nothing but play this and order pizza omg.... 16 hours on one of the days... been playing it on hardmode first time around the first 10 levels were kinda hard running out of ammo and scrouging for food everything.. it was fantastic.. all games should make you feel hardship of somesort.. makes the payoff that much better.

Is it any good? Or, put another way, are you likely to enjoy it if you liked Fallout 3?

Is that just going down the house route?
I was able to 'make peace' with the brotherhood (NCR route)
The only way to make peace that I found was with Veronica, I could give more info I just dont want to spoil anything
