First Fallout: New Vegas Review

4/5 from Giantbomb.

Not to much surprising..

The game is even buggier than FO3 apparently, but given Obsidians track record I am not surprised.

I'm ok with that.

Sounds like everything I was hoping and expecting.

They said the writing and story was superb and Im sure it is, but seriously obsidian needs better support.

im just gonna wait for the goty edition to come out, hopefully they will patch alot of the bugs and everything else by then.

Buggy again and timed exclusive (already partially completed) DLC? Really Bethesda? A second time..?

I mean, my copy's already bought and all. But holy crap man.

Hopefully I won't see the same fate as fall of 2008..

So I guess we'll partake in "list New Vegas problems" threads similar to what Fallout 3 was when it launched.

Different people had different bugs. I guess I was lucky that time as Jefferson Memorial wasn't a game killzone for me..

According to joystiq:

"If I were looking atFallout: New Vegasas a product, I'd say it'sshockingthat it's being released to the public in this state"

They gave it a 3.5/5 because as an experience, it's wonderful. He actually called it paradoxical because it is so ridiculously buggy but it was so much fun.

I don't know about you guys, but I don't plan on buying this just on principle. I loved Fallout 1/2 (even tactics...). I bought Fallout 3 and returned it immediately, and it doesn't look like I'm going to be buying New Vegas. These people need to step their game up.

Fallout 3 is my favorite game this gen so I'll be getting this one today but I don't think I care much for the setting.

Wow, I swear if this game is that glitchy I will be pissed. I was fine with Fallout 3, but New Vegas is using the same engine, how could they possibly have alot of glitches like F3?

I understand it's a big game, but common man, cut me some slack. I will still be purchasing it and I wont mind the bugs, but im still mad that yet again, Bethesda let's another buggy game loose (I know it's obsidian, im taking my anger out on Bethesda).

I'll post this

"Everything we loved about Fallout 3, and much more. New Vegas improves on the original in almost every way" 5 stars

"Fallout: New Vegas somehow manages to have even more technical problems than Fallout 3 did, but its great characters and setting still shine through."

"Have you played Fallout 3? If so, then you've played Fallout: New Vegas"

Shame on you obsidian, bringing such a technical mess on the market.
FOR SHAME !

Blame the company that cut's corners and gives Obsidian 2 years to produce a game.

The cheap and always undependable Bethesda.

Buggier than Fallout 3 = I'll definitely be waiting for it to hit the bargain bin. And that Giant Bomb review is of the 360 version; I don't even want to think what the PS3 version is probably like. :roll:

This time I think I'll wait for the GOTY edition. Besides, I still have yet to finish Fallout 3, I'm at the end of the game but I still have a couple optional missions to do and stuffs. Oh and I haven't even touched the DLC yet

I've yet to purchase the game, but even despite its buggy-ness (questionable) this game if far better than the rubbish out there.

im just gonna wait for the goty edition to come out, hopefully they will patch alot of the bugs and everything else by then.

Wasn't the GOTY worse than the regular edition for Fallout 3?

This is what worries me as well. I plan on waiting for the GotY edition, but if the original version of New Vegas is worst than the GotY FO3, what kind of mess would GotY New Vegas be like? Bethesda should just focus on TES V with ZeniMax, and forget the Fallout series for awhile.

You know, I feel exactly the same, I love the Fallout Series, and even though I am reading all the reviews, checking out all the complaints, and I cannot help but wonder why they would release something that would actually be so buggy.... and then it hits me, they release buggy games like this cos guys like you and me, knowing full well how the game will anger and frustrate due to the lack of polish and consideration and yet, dude - guys like you and me WILL buy it anyway! The perfect consumer.

Ha, so we know its gonna upset us, we know it is broken, heck we already crying for patches to be released, right?

So ANGRY!!!!!!!

but, I'll be getting it first thing friday..... that'ill teach em

Not bad
