NV is a great game, but it has major flaws in terms of crashes and stability and some story related issues.
I have played all Fallout games, since the very first and i can say FNV is the most fun and buggiest Fallout game ever.
I have 170+ hours played and i can tell you i had to restart the game, due to crashes, pretty much that same number of times, if not more. Quite sad because this game is quite fun.
Just my opinion on the subject
BTW, Hi i'm new here, nice to meet you all
sorry timperary mental breakdown, wont happen agane
We make these games great!!!
well most of us!!!
It's not about being a better game it's about being a better role playing game (note the bold parts).
From a role playing point of view FNV is better than ME2 and better than FO3.
its the best game of the year
i dont get it almost everything is exactly the same
as in fallout3 down to the frikkin rocks
the people are the same too
this game isnt as epic as everyone believes it is
i play it because of the iron sights
and the fact that fallout3 random ctd problems
ruined my s#*! cause it crashes the game about avery fifteen seconds
I concur.
Anyway, it seems IGN also appreciates Fallout: New Vegas.

For me, an open world and the freedom to explore, wander, change and pick a different ending always beats the focused/guided cinematic experience (interspersed with bouts of FPS combat) played out in a series of relatively small worldspaces surrounded by invisible walls that Mass Effect, DA:O and the likes have to offer. Don't get me wrong, they are excellent games in their own genre but if I had just enough money to buy a single game I would pick a sandbox game instead of these action FPS/RPG hybrids.
So... congratulations, Obsidian!
But a better game? That's arguable.
Add mods and it's a hell yes! no matter how you look at it. A sandbox rich RPG experience with good story that you can customize to your liking? It beats the living crap out of anything.
Reason why I think Skyrim will be, from my point of view, infinitely better than ME3 (yes, I said 3) because it will most certainly keep true to Beth's design philosophy and also be customizable.
Just my opinion on the matter...
Anyway, congrats to Obsidian for it and to the modders for being mentioned and praised. They (we?) deserve it.
Can't argue with that. Obsidian can't be faulted for the many failings of the game engine.
A feeling that lasts until you finish the game two (or three) different ways. I avoid the Dam war like the plague at this point, though.
