The casual use of nukes just shows you how completely not Fallout this is. Even in FO3, the whole Fat Man thing and the web commercials still, at the very edges, had a smidgeon of "wink, jingoism is bad!" But there's none of that here. We've gone full Starship Troopers with any satire or deeper...

Sometimes I'm amazed Fallout: New Vegas even got made. In a world where the Deus Ex franchise is murdered by intentionally chopping up the story, where Ubisoft/EA are successful companies, where games like Sleeping Dogs are considered failures -- how did we even get a quality Fallout post FO3...

Yup. A front page post on r/fallout/ right now is that screenshot of the skeleton on the rollercoaster with its hands still held up as if it's going down the coaster. Where do you even begin: If the nukes killed this guy instantly, they would have been in range to destroy the theme park or...

It's just surreal to me that after this gets released, we're back to the long, quiet lull of wondering if anything worth a damn will come in the future. Until then, yeah. Still playing New Vegas. And hoping the new Deus Ex won't be a terrible, hollowed out self-parody. God, I'm so tired of...

I really hope there's an option to just murder the raiders you come across and skip all the Raider-involved quests and settlement-building. You know, like actual choices in games, like killing Joshua Graham at the start of Honest Hearts, etc. It'll be hilarious if Bethesda forces you to become...

Honestly, at some point the options become too overwhelming due to the upfront time required to make a respectable looking settlement. If an average player sees this trailer or some of the reddit falleoutsettlements submissions, they're going to immediately know -- "It's going to take me 40...

I can't underestimate how much this pissed me off as an NV Gun Runner's Arsenal player. If you get an AMR and a boatload of caps, you can buy some expensive-ass exploding .50 caliber rounds. I think they're like 25 caps per shot or something like that; with the rest of GRA, they provide a great...

There's just nothing to do once you get burned out on the settlement system, and somehow, there's even less replayability than FO3. This comes from someone who's had 6 full playthroughs of NV (3 with DLC, and 2 of those being full-blown junker runs collecting every item in sight). Just wanted...

But they can't even do that right. I found the treasure of Jamaica Plains and then accidentally scrapped it to shreds trying to build a settlement early on in the game (yes, it was quite tough fighting there, but I wanted to do that treasure quest early thinking it'd be something of value, like...

Ugh, I knew I was forgetting something. But I kept googling FO2, trying to remember if that had a teleporter in it, haha.

Yeah, seriously. I wanted to scream when I found out that coursers are teleported around. Fallout doesn't try to obey scientific rules, but teleportation is so fucking incredibly far out and not only difficult in the real world, but utterly insane in the tube-electronic world of Fallout (yes, I...

For me, it was repair. That one stat dominated most of my New Vegas playthroughs and roleplaying. Pouring points into repair, scavenging repair items, taking the jury-rigging perk, smithing my own ammunition (ESPECIALLY this), selling repaired scavenged weapons for caps, and being able to dump...

Posting here, since there's probably fewer people in the New Vegas forum who've played Fallout 4. In my original playthrough of New Vegas, I admittedly chose Mr. House. For all the threat of autocracy, at the core, Mr. House was still human, and not insusceptible to the wealth and trappings of...

God, I miss New Vegas. I've played it so much, and aside from a couple story mods I'm waiting to get into, there's just nothing left for me to do in it. Fallout 4 feels like an empty world space in comparison, and even with weapon mods, New Vegas daresay had better weapon/armor variety and...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Elvis-Presley-Jacket-from-the-Viva-Las-Vegas-Dance-Scene-with-Lot-85-/271939104525 Don't know if it's newsworthy, but thought it was cool. Someone tell the King.

so brave Maybe you should wonder why getting to play as a female has to be such a big fucking deal in the first place. Oh, that's right -- because you couldn't do it for fucking ages and still can't on most games, and because white-male protagonists are dramatically over-represented in an...

Echoing some other comments: The Bad * Airship? Really? * Yes, that intact city is totally unbelievable * Looks like way too much intact urbanization in general * The Courier was such a refreshing change from vault dwellers, but no, here we go again * "War never changes," neither does this...

Funny to see our concerns vs. mainstream gamers'. The hottest issue seems to be whether Three Dog will be returning. I feel like I would have liked Three Dog more if Bethesda hadn't given him that painfully, mind-numbingly stupid conversation when you meet him ("SO YOU FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT...

Don't forget that utterly meaningless "war never changes" bullshit. Taking bets on how soon that pops up in the teaser with Ron Perlman. It was so satisfying when Lonesome Road bucked that silly line in its ending narrative.

Finally seeing this for real made my heart sink, as I have zero hopes that anything will top New Vegas (yes, yes, let alone the originals, but I guess I'm speaking in terms of fully 3D western RPGs). For its flaws, New Vegas is probably one of, if not my favorite video game, and a big part of...
