Great Game, I could not stop playing.
The Game-play is great, The Last Appeal is even better since you can do so many different things into the game it's different with each time it's played.
It's A must Have.

The Truth About FONV

PostedNovember 4, 2010

I purchased FONV (FallOut New Vegas) about 4 days ago and i have not been able to put it down. There is so much stuff to do that i am playing it again! And it is my 3rd time!!! Nothing is the same, And with the similar (Better but similar) Character customization as far as Skills and S.P.E.C.I.A.L goes it is easy to understand how to play. The things that make it better than the rest is the amount of Quests, Weapons, Apparrel, Ammo, Perks and just in general, Everything. You can gamble (Blackjack, Roulette, And Slots. As well as Caravan a unique game made just for New Vegas, But Caravan is about skill, Not luck.) You can even have Companions to follow you around. Inside of Freeside (The main town in FONV) you can have Five Companions at a time (Max) But in the rest of the map you can have 2 Companions to follow you around (One Robot and a Human/Ghoul/Super Mutant). Your companions add special perks to your allready existing ones. For example: Boon, A sniper you can ask to follow you around gives you a perk that whenever you aim all hostile targets glow red. Allowing you to easily pick out who to kill in a gun fight. Alot easier then looking at the lower left compass. All in all the game is EPIC to say the least. There is a Hardcore mode that makes it Ultra realistic. In Hardcore you have to keep yourself hydrated with water, Sleep reguarly, And even choose what to carry around carefully (Because even Ammo weighs). But i think im going to try Hardcore after i beat the entire game on Medium diffaculty first. If i had to predict the number of times it would take to beat this game 100% just so you can complete every quest, I would have to say around 10 times. 5 good and 5 bad. Oh man, And 5 neutral... Sooo... 15 times. And even then there is no way you could make your characters good at every single skill so if you where to max out every save game differently (Thief, Melle, etc.) It would take way more then 15 play throughs. This is the most epic game ever. And tons of fun. The aiming style from FallOut 3 has been thrown away and now we have iron sites. Allowing for a more realistic game play as well as making it easier to survive in a gun fight. Even V.A.T.S mode has good and bad qualities. Your Critical Hits chance increases but your more likely to get hit yourself in V.A.T.S. On a down side there is not any more cheating because the previous bugs for cheating have been patched so you need to be prepared to work for every single Cap (Bottle caps in FONV are currency, As well as NCR Money, Legion Coins and a few others) So there is more cash types as well. There is many familys or factions you can join, Get to follow your decisions, Hate you or even blow up in flames of anger. So let me sum this up... FallOut New Vegas is the BEST game i have ever played and i would recommend it to die hard RPG enthusiasts. Oh yeah! Your gonna need to get a InterCooler for your PS3 and a laptop fan to stick under it cause this game will be impossible to cut off. The main downside of the game is that cutting it off while the HDD indicater is flashing will definetly corrupt the game play, And there are a few bugs/Glitches in the game but they make it fun. People will do the moon walk (although there not supposed to), They will float 4 feet above the ground and they will even be trapped in a stone floor like quicksand. I dont know why it is so bugged still but it makes the game play funny to me and doesnt really affect the game play. It just makes you look twice and say "What the....?"

Disappointment.

PostedNovember 2, 2010

I was a fallout 3 person and it was great. New vegas takes what fallout 3 was and makes it better. However it is the glitchiest game i have ever bought. I can not continue with the story because when i try to enter certain areas the game freezes. There is no fix to it and beth soft is ignoring all forums that have complaints on it. Dont buy this game until it is atleast 50% fixed from what it is now.
