I have little in the way of expectations when it comes to my games. For the most part I either like a game or I don't. That's easy. My feelings for Fallout New Vegas are not easy. I really like the story. The graphics are what I was expecting. The weapons are really cool and they have loads of sweet mods. There's more companions. The way people think of you has a greater effect than in Fallout 3 and I like that a lot. I mean really just name something you liked in Fallout 3 and they probably improved on it for this installment. superb. great. glad you came. awesome. It's that little present the developers gave us that we didn't ask for that makes me want to have a fit like I'm five years old. I'm talking about throwing my remote in the garbage and not playing video games all night because I'm that frustrated. It's the glitching and the freezing and the glitching some more. Imagine you're playing for 7hrs straight, no breaks, no cigarettes, no bathroom breaks, no eating.... you've forgotten how to do all these things because you're way to involved in a battle over 73 bottle caps, a baseball bat, some sensor modules, and a laser pistol. You realize that your bed is on the horizon meaning that when the dreaded sun comes up you have to put the game away and go to bed because being awake when the sun rises is lame. Everyone knows this. It's one of lifes facts. In the game you've just rounded a corner and you spot an enemy. That enemy is practically begging you for a machete in the neck and want to hook them up with some gore and quick trip to hell where they can visit their whore mother. Just 17 milliseconds before you can click into your VATS the game glitches, it happens often, this is just a normal glitch you tell yourself, it'll unfreeze in a second and then you can dull your blade on this dude's skull. The glitch is taking too long. The game isn't unfreezing like it should. The game is frozen. No buttons work. You're pissed off now especially since your last save was 25 minutes ago. At this point are you really going to physically get up off the couch, walk over to the console, turn it off, turn it on, load the game, load your save, and get back to that point in the game? Hell no you're not because you don't appreciate being treated like dirt. Now that the game has quite effectively removed you from your bubble of amazingness you're going to go to bed. Unhappy. Unsatisfied. Your girl went to bed 4hrs ago and now there's no chance for any spooning action. You're going to bed pissed off and alone and it's all Fallout New Vegas' fault.

Why oh why does Bethesda torture us like this? Is it part of their strategy? A peculiar, offhand, bizarre, illogical means of establishing a skewed imprimatur on the minds of top-level gamers? I don't get it. I reall... Read Full Review
