Fallout: NV Mega Wasteland Hype Thread-Gamespot-Consoles 7.5-PC 8.5

While I clearly think this game is better than a 7.5, I still say that a re-review would be completely unfair to many other titles that perhaps were not marketed and advertised as heavily. Anyway, maybe it is just a site error of some sort. I guess we will see eventually.

their whole fallout section is down I sure hope its not another jeff type case

lol flop am confirmed. damn so many massive flops this year

Kane and Lynch 2010 Redux.

Someone is gonna have to keep their secret in vegas. COMPLY OR DIE

I got a bit of a problem. I'm at Sloan and omw to New Vegas, but there are some Deathclaws I gotta kill. Problem is...I can't =\

Any tips on how to kill them? My strongest weapon is incinerator and 9mm submachine gun.

this might be the case. Or they will do a re-review after patches. But that isnt fair to other games.

Is Gamespot bending over again?tagyhag

When Bethesda says "bend over," GameSpot says "at what angle?"

*Ahem*

The whole site was going crazy slow. Anyone get that?

Also they've pulled the headline on the main page saying patches are being released.

Once you get a companion the games is basically put on cruise control. It makes it a lot easier.

I am on the UK side.

Try clicking on it. It comes up with a 404.

Ohhhh. I already mentioned that a few posts ago, so I assumed you meant they took the link down. Oops.

Fallout 3 deserved even less of a score. Never played Fallout 1 & 2, but the third and fourth were completely dull compared to TES games.

Glad they didn't ignore the bugs just because its a hyped game. *Cough* Mass Effect *cough*

I disagree with the GS score. I'm pretty sure I'm close to the end now, and I've hit alot less bugs than I did in Fallout 3. F3 crashed on me all the time. Vegas just feels alot more like an rpg than 3. And I haven't hit a single goddawful sewer maze yet. God I hated DC in 3.

Barter 45, Explosives 50, Guns 50, Repair 50, Medicine 50, Science 80, Speech 90. Don't wander where granny can't see you dear!

Good to hear. Oh, and you just reminded me of something. No subways in New Vegas... thank god.

So Vanquish>>>>>Fallout 3:NV. i guess the Vanquish haters are feeling pretty silly about now

Bigboi500

It all comes down to personal preference no doubt, but the amount of content and depth just really makes the games uncomparable.

Fallout: New Vegas is the kind of game you can really sink your teeth in to and enjoy for long periods of time and get lost in it, where Vanquish is great for short periods of time.I'd say playing Vanquish is like a roller coaster ride, it's thrilling and upbeat for a few moments but is over in the blink of an eye. Playing Fallout: New Vegas is like spending a whole week at your favorite vacation spot.

If its not MGS or Uncharted he doesn't care.

Funny how they complain about technical issues in the game on the front page, then you click the review and it's a 404 error......look who's talking.

That's not a tech issue. I think they're re-reviewing the game with the new patches.

Their not, every page has an error now.

And they only reviewed the console versions, which havent even been patched yet.

7.5 huh?

I'm enjoying it and the bugs arent horrific, its only froze up twice in the many hours I've played.

I'd probably rate it 8.0 to 8.5.

Now if you'll excuse me I have 250 T-rex toys to drop in someones home.

Problem with this is they give 5 minute fun games better scores than games with supreme ambition and scale.

I question the integrity of the reviewer and the process. The game deserves better than it got.

If they're going to re-rewiew this, then they're going to have an awfull backlog to re-review.carlisledavid79

They can start with the lamentable Final Fantasy XIII.

are you referring to downloadable arcade games that are scored differently from standard retail games?

Not entirely no, but as you've brought it up, that fact is never made clear.

Let's be clear here. Most of the criticisms aimed at FO NV are based on bugs. I can understand criticism based on this as games companies should not release unfinished products but today these things are often ironed out after the game was released.

Civilization V had more bugs than any game I've played in years. I got three quarters of the game through and found a bug that crashed it as soon as I took a move. All that effort was down the drain and I had to start again. But that review was much more positive because, as expected, there is a patch on the way fixing issues like these.

You gave a better score to wii party and vanquish. And the one thing that came across loudly in the review was bugs, which are in time going to be fixed across all platforms.

You also gave those games a better score than the recent Castlevania, a game I found far more satisfying than even God of War. There seems to be a big difference between your reviews and the common perception lately and this is not the first divergence.

Looks like the reviews are back up. I guess it hasn't been re-reviewed, then.

ok so i finally got around to picking up my copy of fonv and have had very little trouble so far.

some stuttery framerates and the gun not following me down right away in crouch has been it so far.

i see the complaints that people have with it being like a giant expansion pack and i don't really have a problem with that either. i have paid $20 for expansion packs so $60 for a giant one is not a big deal to me.

other than that what can you say? it's a big slow paced semi-action rpg shooter game that does everything kind of half assed and clunky.

y'know exactly like F3 was.

i'm liking it just like i did the last one, even if it had no bugs i would not score it past a 8 or maybe if i was generous an 8.5.
