Fallout New Vegas

[champagne supernova]

I still don't know if I like Fallout 3 or not. I liked Oblivion, so I should really like it. But I think I might dislike the V.A.T.S system. It is really odd that I've finished the game and still can't figure it out, but I really have mixed feelings about it.

Anyway, Bethesda games are massive. I don't know how large Mass Effect or Dragon's Age are, but I am going to go out on a limb and say I don't think they could be as big as Bethesda's last two games.

Anyway, New Vegas might suit me better because apparently it's not so barren as Fallout. But I'm way more excited for the PS3 port of Mass Effect tbh.

My feelings on the vats was that I only used it when I really needed to. then I wasn't just running up and blasting everything in the head with vats and enjoyed the battles much more

Then just don't use VATS .

Loved Fallout 3. Absolutely fantastic game.

Just started New Vegas and I found Indiana Jones in a fridge. I now wear his hat.

Enjoying it so far. Better writing, better voice acting, better quests, better mechanics, iron sights makes non-vats combat worth bothering with (And VATS is less overpowered too so)... still the ty Gamebryo engine but what are you gonna do, that's not Obsidian's fault.

I now have four types of cowboy hat in addition to my Indiana Jones hat. I think I will make a collection for whenever I get a house!

Machetin' and dynamitin' my way through the south-west right now.

I got cut off heading to the casinos so I hit up the South instead. Loving it so far.

One thing I don't like is the whole custom gun thing and the armor categories, with repare benches and ammo choices. I've never been a fan of weapon customisation though, I liked how Fallout 3 did it, with a unique weapon for most classes but that was it. I also don't like the making herbs thing, doubt I'll be using that much.

I do really like the rep system though. I thought I'd reward the town that took me in by beating down some bandits.

Psychotic, English Cowboy!

[NeoCracker]

Yeah, story and characters are way better then if FO3. That alone makes this game far superior.

Also, it has the King baby.

I'm running with Veronica as my ally, and dam. She's mean. That power gauntlet of hers just massacres guys.

Off course!!

Just met the Legion for the first time. Damn, they seem genuinely scary smurfers. Therefore I must somehow join this organisation and help them wreck .

I thought the crucifying was somewhat of a bad publicity, so I slaughtered them all.


...slowly.

...with FIRE.

[Shorty]

I'm super excited to play New Vegas. My boyfriend bought it the other day, but he's been hogging it. I'll probably start it this weekend.

also, VATS is the best. I could not get through Fallout 3 without it.

[escobert]

I hated using VATS so I'm glad to hear they powered it down. Also actually sights while not using VATS sounds awesome. I hated the way the aiming was in 3 but it was at least more fun then just clicking on things heads and letting the computer shoot for you.

[Psychotic]

I don't think VATS seems powered down at all tbh.

The bed in my motel room is now coated with hats

Really? It's still pretty potent, but it doesn't seem to be the unstoppable IWIN button it was in 3. Maybe it's less that VATS is weaker and more that regular shooting is actually doable thanks to iron sights?

Also, I'm here to do some business with the big iron on my hip
