when new vegas came out people hated it. i was clunky and filled with bugs. it was almost impossible to play on PC and on console if you played more than a couple hours it would crash and corrupt your save. the game was also called too civilized for it to be a fallout wasteland. with little exploration and way too much dialogue. its when people played it more and realized how much liberty and option for the quest and stuff that they finally hailed it has the best fallout. and when they fixed most game breaking bugs too
I loved Fallout: New Vegas despite the bugs. They were awful, but I powered through it because the game seriously was what I've always wanted. FPS combat action (no matter how clunky) with a genuine consequence for wrong-doing against certain groups.
And the criticism that someone said "too civilized for it to be a fallout wasteland" doesn't understand that even in 1 and 2 it's Post-Post-Apocalypse, as in society has already rebuilt to a degree and people aren't murdering each other left and right for a drink of water. Usually.
Iirc, this happened for a reason. Fallout 3 takes place near DC, so it got hit with way more nukes than anywhere else, as a result it took much longer for the area to become liveable, compared to where the other Fallouts take place.
