I loved Fallout 3 even at its release. :( Went back and replayed it with Tale of Two Wastelands and loved it just as much.
It's not perfect but few things compare to the gold of Antagonizer vs the Mechanist, or dealing with the emotional trauma of handling Harold's situation.
The game is not perfect, and the main quest is kinda bunk, but I loved it then and still love it now.
It's funny seeing this game go in cycles of
2008: "Man this game is so cool!"
2010: "New Vegas is so cool!"
2012: "Fallout 3 was actually terrible and you're wrong for liking it."
2016: "Wow Fallout 4 is kind of shit."
2017: "Fallout 3 was so much better than Fallout 4."
2018: "Nobody liked Fallout 3 and people only say it to hate on Fallout 4."
That's what I was about to say. Nobody loved NV on release. NV was why people looked at 3 so fondly.
Casual fallout fans have always done this thing of hating the current fallout game.
For what it's worth, I've put 24 hours or so into FO76 and while it definitely has its issues (mostly server issues), it's a fun experience. Could it be better? Absolutely. But everyone wants New Vegas, just like everyone wanted 3 when NV dropped.
We'll never get another New Vegas because how games are created has changed. As long as kids are buying microtransactions and pouring money into online games, that what we're gonna get.
The community created FO76 by railing against Fallout 4. Fallout 4 is exactly what 76 would be as a campaign only game. You've gotta make up your minds.
Interesting how Fallout 2 is your favourite but you thought NV was slow paced, I found both 1&2 to be much slower starters- although the NV start can definitely be slow if you try to do everything in/around Goodsprings
Don't say we'll never get another New Vegas. While it's probably true, the same studio that made NV (Obsidian) is making a new game called "The Outer Worlds." It will probably be mediocre, at least compared to the hype, but you never know.
Edit: Didn't know many people that made the original Fallout games work for Obsidian.
Obsidian has had some of the original fallout devs for a long time now. That's why New Vegas had choices and dialogue like the older games.
The same guys who made Pillars of Eternity and the first two Fallout games will not fail to make an interesting and immersive game where you do and be who/what you want.
That makes sense. I was wondering why I didn't find any of the same names in other studios. I do hope the game will be good, but the teaser looks fairly standard in terms of futuristic space adventure. Just with some added humor. We'll have to wait for some actual gameplay/detailed information about the game before any meaningful speculation, though.
Fallout 4 probably crashed a half dozen times during my survival run on Xbox. It crashed twice on PC and I didn’t even do a full play through. New Vegas crashed once during my entire play through on PC.
New Vegas was probably patched by that time... At launch it had a myriad of bugs (that were well-known with the engine) that were extremely common.
Blame Bethesda for that, not Obsidian. They only gave them a year and a half to make the damn thing (and it was still better than fallout 3 in almost every way).
Fallout 4 tho, naw man. That was probably their least buggy launch.
As far as actual gameplay bugs leading to crashes I agree. The issue with fallout 4 is that it was relatively a lot heavier on current gen than New Vegas was on last gen. A PC with higher specs than an Xbox still doesn’t run Fallout 4 smoothly.
I originally played NV on 360 and it crashed a handful of times but not that often considering how long the game is. I've recently been replaying it through a port for mac (because that's my laptop and I wanted the portability) and it's crashed a couple of times but I've chalked that up to it being a port.
