Fallout New Vegas Review | Game Informer

Game Informer: "Maybe Obsidian’s lack of familiarity with Bethesda’s technology resulted in New Vegas’ plateau. Maybe Bethesda barked orders to make it identical to Fallout 3. In any case, gamers should expect more of the same from this follow-up. If Fallout 3 holds a place among your top 10 games of this generation like it does for me, another rewarding 200-plus hours of survival awaits you."

Game crashing glitches incoming~

[4Sh0w]

yep, I'm getting this puppy.

[vhero]

Not getting thanks to PS3 version constant crashing just like F3 as it says in this review http://www.thesixthaxis.com...
Canned my pre-order why as gamers should we have to put up with half assed games?? Everybody who buys is supporting devs right to release buggy games and I really hate that. We should wait until they fixed all problems before we buy.

[Kurt Russell]

Get it on PC or xbox instead... Or would that go against everything you've been brainwashed to be?

[Danniel1]

why should he have to buy it on another platform, if he only owns a PS3 then he certainly shouldnt have to buy another platform

[vhero]

The PC version of fallout 3 always crashed too or I would get this on PC so its nothing to do with the PS3 version its the games ENGINE which is used on all consoles.

[Kurt Russell]

I personally never experienced crashing on F3... I did experience mad glitches, but no game breakers. I logged way over 200+ hours, so I would have expected something if it were a real problem. It was the best game I played at the time, and expect this to be more of the same (no bad thing).

I have that sneaking feeling you never had it pre-ordered in the first place and thought you would have a little stab of trolling.

[WildArmed]

F3 never crashed on my PC.
You might need to look @ ur drivers and such.

Or maybe upgrade?

Either way, I'm getting F3 4 PC.
I only get my MP/online games on console so I can play w/ my friends.. since most of my friends don't have a gaming PC.

Plus I can always save a few bucks when i buy games 4 PC.
Usually get em for 30-40 bucks :D
Just need to look around

[Darkfocus]

they where all buggy ps3 was just supposed to be the worst of them.

[djfullshred]

I am sticking to my guns vhero, and not buying this game either, even though I want to play it. There are plenty of games to play, so I just can't bring myself to pay for sh*t that I know in advance doesn't work very good.

[tacosRcool]

Sounds like a good game. Too bad for all the glitches it has just like Fallout 3

[SonyPS360]

Constant complaining about glitches. I played for 100s of hours and none of the glitches were ever game breaking.

[Darkfocus]

I played for around 60 and encountered 3 game breaking glitches... luckily my first play through had nothing gamebreaking...(unless you consider skipping 90% of the story a gamebreaking glitch...found my dad right away by accident....)though it did freeze a couple times

[djfullshred]

LOL, my PS3 hard froze on me countless times, especially with the additional content in FO3. I renamed Point Lookout to "Point Lockup".

Before anyone gives me the knee jerk reaction that it was just my console, I will let you all know it was only FO3 that I had this level of extreme problems with. The Bethesda message board was flooded with angry consumers complaining about the same thing whenever I checked it for an update if a patch was going to come out (it never did)

[CrIpPeN]

I think I will get this for PC, because it's more fun, mods, and if the game glitches you have a chance to fix it by commands.

Mouse + keyboard.

To bad they couldn't fix the targeting thing outside V.A.T.S mode.
Is it because of the engine or because they didn't have time to mess around with it?

[Faztkiller]

Great score defiantly picking this up later today

[JoySticksFTW]

"I'm picking this up and there's absolutely NOTHING you can do to stop me!!!!" :)

[thematrix1298]

how about a 20 disagree on your statement? will that change your mind?

[JoySticksFTW]

how about a 20 sense of humor on your statement? will that change your mind?

:)

[StarScream4Ever]

Great score, just as I expected it to received. :D

Time to hit New Vegas baby!

[Kakihara]

Oh tank chroist, I was very very worried about this game. I had a bad feeling it was gonna be a disaster but if it's just like more Fallout 3 I'm more than happy.

[clintos59]

I had my mind set ever since we heard of this. All I know is this game has 200+ hours of fun that will keep me busy for many months. Cant wait to start playing this, I havent been excited like this since uncharted 2. This game will be awesome.

[Kal853]

I totally agree.

[BkaY]

kenpachi.... ftmfw....

ontopic.. i am huge anime fan... even i am skippin naruto uns 2 for this game....

peace

[Kal853]

"In just the missions and story, New Vegas offers a nearly unprecedented level of depth. When you throw in the weapon modifications, companion recruitment, and attribute sculpting for your character, it delivers a true sense of ownership over the experience and gives you thousands of reasons why you should come back and play it again and again." - Just what I wanted to hear. I can't wait to sink a couple hundred hours into it. That'll do Obsidian, that'll do.

[UNLOADED]

Who's the stealth disagreer. This Game is awesome, why disagree.

[SonyPS360]

Because N4G comment bombers are retards.

"I'm going to buy this one" will get disagrees. How can you disagree with someone saying that they're going to buy it? It's so stupid.

[djfullshred]

no stealth here. I disagree that FO is awesome.

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

i'm just glad they didn't f**k it up.playing fallout 3 in vegas is a good thing.it's got what i want out of fall out so it sounds like a great purchise to me.obsidian is known for making sub-par sequals kotor2, neverwinter knight2 and alpha portocal was a abomination.so them playing it safe and giving me what i want more of,is great news.

[cmacdonald]

8.5 is too high for that many bugs.

[xXxSeTTriPxXx]

atleast they didn't slap a 9 or a ten, just because it's fallout.i believe in the accuracy of this review 8.5 sonds just about right.and i'm sold from what i've read, looks like another 200+ hr adventure in the fallout universe for me.

[Call_me_Ishmael]

isnt the just the same gameplay,i played fallout 3 a little and it was awesome
so might be picking this up

[mobijoker]

Obsidian delivered.

[kaos_fish II]

Glitches and crashes galore across all 3 platforms according to the users on the Bethesda Forums - some real angry people this morning!

[Beahmscream]

To bad most companies now a days don't polish their ******* game before release...
I think I'll hold out on this one for a while until we see some patches/mods. :sadvaultboy:

[Moragami]

Fallout 3 was such a pleasant surprise. I didn't have much interest in it initially, but when Steam busted it out at 50% off, I was tempted enough to give it a try. I was so glad I did, I had a LOT of fun, and will eventually have to go back for a second playthrough (look out Megaton, I'm not feeling so charitable this time).

That will pass the time until this is also on sale for $25. I'm guessing the Steam Holiday sale will offer it up for a deal. Plus, the game should be sufficiently patched by that time, so no bugs to make me mad.

[artsaber]

I will rent it probably. I think the PS3 version requires a 5GB install. I guess the coding gets flaky @ some point? Who knows. - Patches Incoming.
