        Yes. I love New Vegas. Fantastic storylines. I started off with 2 and I’d say that New Vegas is the title I remember with the most fondness. The Fallout franchise is in my top 3. Just a joy to play.

        Have I tried unsuccessfully to revist it several times over the years? Also yes.

        IMO it depends on the system, and they are buggier in different ways. I’ve never not been able to play 76, but New Vegas would just shut down, or freeze, and you’d lose a bunch of stuff. Even 3 I still have never played the alien mothership DLC because it just wouldn’t let me. I’d get to the beam me up part, and it would freeze every time. I’ve also only played it on playstation, I’ve heard less issues with other systems.

      the only bugs i remenber are related to running it on newer tech.

      but the story and characters are awesome and it actually captures the fallout spirit, unlike f3/4/76.

          I guess you never played 1 and 2. And 76 has obviously no other connection to fallout than the name, some words and assets. It is like the anti-fallout.

            so for fallout to feel like fallout it needs dated cringy 90s related humor? despite the fact the game takes place hundreds of years after the 90s? cause that’s fallout 2

            and im guessing you never played 76

              og fallout humor is timeless…

              to my utmost shame I have to admit that I preordered it. it was not only a slap in the face for all fallout fans but also all gamers. bethesda put zero effort into this cashgrab.

                theres no way you can see the detailed world and say thats zero effort. its like the best world bethesda has ever crafted. its huge, vaired, and interesting. regardless of the games own failings, its definitely not a zero effort release, otherwise they would have given up on it years ago

                  Oh no, there’s absolutely effort put into the graphics. It’s just everything else that’s missing.

                  The overall writing and direction in Bethesda’s games is piss poor as they haven’t prioritized it in some time. Even TES suffers from this. But I guess that’s more about the crowd they’re trying to appeal to.

                  It’s all cool if you like Bethesdas version of the Fallout world. But not everyone else subscribes to it.

                  And for reasons that are quite valid. As Beth’ has deviated far from the roots of the franchise.
