It is very logical to assume that the creators of this and other games alike, have no sense of whimsy and finalization.
But if I get here three years late and tell you that New Vegas is good, I will be betraying my whole idea of what a gamer is about. After 30 hours of gameplay I got Vegas uninstalled. My character was just thrown in a weird over-encumbered bug which affects every save game I have, making him static and frozen and that's unacceptable.
And so within the forums, people were extremely thick, I was told, (with vulgar -so called normal- language), which is normal for big games to have "some" bugs and glitches, just as Skyrim did back on 2012. Only those who really have a deep perspective, can accidentally find thousands and thousands of bugs. Don't blame me, blame the broken gameplay.
Bugs are everywhere, on every mission on every quest and corners. Patches, don't really does a thing. Bethesda... I know them from a long, long time, and it is always was like that. It was like that on Skyrim, and it will be that on Fallout 4. When you take one of their games, you just should expect this kind of problem. If you are open minded like that, you will love all of their games. Indeed the gameplay mechanics are very fun... but it is worth the trouble? No it isn't.
I come from consoles, when i come to play on my PC I use my Xbox Control ... if you do use yours, forget it. The mouse will give more accurate precision for you because some terrible controller glitches awaits you. How is that possible? No one will ever know. You will not have a good experience, just go with the keyboard and maybe ou can play it.
And an angry user again came to tell me that PC gamers never uses a controller ... they seem to have some kind of crazy war or hate stuff going on forums about that... all of them are very young like 16 yold, to waste such time. They should'nt not even be able to play mature games but anyway... You will find yourself in deep trouble using the keyboard since Vegas, - and Fallout itself has, a lot of weapons and itens and commands to do. The keys are too far away from each others, you can assign them for yourself but it never trully works pratical. Your hands will be lost quickly while a mutated monster comes toward you while you try to hit him with a spoon.
I never find myself playing such horrible game like New Vegas before, but at least I did not paid much to have it. Why it is so bad? Easy to answer in few short lines;
- Vegas causes a immersion and takes you into the game! Good.
Suddenly a bug breaks out of nowhere and this feeling at the best moment is brutally removed, and you end up frustrated. -Load your game.
-During the creation of this game, (and all the others Beths) they thought it would be a good idea to make him a mod-friendly so they could easily escape from the finalization procedures. Excessive mods never really fulfill that, and it can cause numerous disastrous situations.
- Everything seems to have been done halfway. Mainly the graphics. It's almost like some Beths has said,''Let it go because it is not important, they will mod it all anyway.''
- Excessive numerical details about the character's abilities make a joke of armed combat. 3 shotgun shots in the head of your enemy will not disintegrate his skull, as you should expect in any crazy reality, if you do not have a particular point, perk or a super numbered gun - which deteriorates ridiculously fast, you will simple not harm a scratch on him.
- The Fallout main design is suposed to be a parody of the 40s or/and 50s but instead, you get just another excuse to crush the graphics designs by assigning it to odd formations, suposed to be caricatured, like stones and landscapes included. It doesn't ressemble a steam-punk like in any way. I don't even know if that was their intention.
- A rescue mission done for that NCR outside of a building, was simple a ''inside zone'' of Fallout's engine, but with a blue rooftop and a sun to pretend you are outside. They didn't even bother to adjust the contrast level for that mission. Weird? Dont mention it. Who I'm to judge such professionalism?
- Absurdly bad done character's animations, makes you wonder why you have the third person view as an option from Beths!? Also, Bethesda only had to do 3 full big games in 7 years to correct that on Skyrim, (and it not really fixed yet.)
- Shepard was killed on the beggining of the Mass Effect 2. So was the same with your character on Fallout New Vegas. Coincidence? Hell no. Bethesda has one of the best marketing strategies out there specially on 2010 so don't go thinking you know it all. It is all about business.
On '11 they have made thousands of Skyrim fans when the game had not even being released. We can call that a nice pulse bomb on everybody's electronic brain. A very questionable mind conditioning, too weird to speak on a review.
Really, if I could at least play New Vegas at least for one entire hour without being stucked on a stone or doing curvy shots to a target when I'm aiming other one, i could at least give this crap a 6.0.
Sorry if the truth is too hard, at least Vegas doesn't have a dragon flying backwards or something. Sorry if I'm too late.
