Why does it seem more difficult to really get into Fallout:NV

bigjimmyauk · 4 Dec 2010 at 12:22

I'm really having trouble getting into this, i'm 9 hours in and just not having much fun at all, i can hardly remember any of the characters i've met, i have have no idea who is a good guy and who is a bad guy.

Any tips on really getting into this again i feel kind of lost

I'm the same to tbe honest. I think it may be because I went straight from Fallout 3 to this, and starting "from the beginning again" just seems too much at the moment. I'm going to give it a few weeks and then get back to it.

I felt the same with fallout 3, never even got out of the vault lol

I'm having the same prob. dutifully played it till I was in NV, killed the bloke we were looking for and haven't played it since. Feel I should complete it but not looking forward to it.

I thought fallout 3 was good but hated the intro bit. It reminds me of the beginning dungeon of baldurs gate 2 pointless crap you have to get through to get to the good stuff.

Funnily enough I'm quite the opposite, I'm 33 hours in and I can see another 10 at least.

Using a X360 if that makes a difference :confused:

Bar the random CTD every few hours another very good FPS RPG from Obsidian Entertainment.

Aren't the first couple of hours of RPGs required to be attritional. I don't think I ever felt like NV was fun, interesting sure fun not so much.

You're railroaded a lot more in NV because you're surrounded on 3 sides by mobs that will own you if you go near them. You literally have to go south towards Primm. The environment somehow feel smaller as well.

That said I've had great fun playing it.

new vegas was really boring . the game doesnt compare to fo3 imo

I agree with the sentiments, NV hasn't grabbed me at all.

Its just not compelling. It feels like a spaced out point outlook without the banjo.

I to,o after putting 65 hours into FO3, find NV boring and confusing. I seem to have about 15 missions open at once and no clear path through the main story. I just dont have any desire to play it further after putting in 9 hours or so. I dont want to be totally lead by a game, but equally I want to be able to see some sort of path through it. NV seems to offer missions that become irrelevent depending on the results of others and things just dont seem to hang together in a coherent order.

Quite simply FNV is inferior to Fallout3 & also very boring & dated. Bethesda only greenlight it in Dec 2009 tells you how long they had to make it :eek:

Charging full price is a joke its DLC at best :rolleyes:

Just completed it this morning. I feel that the world is much more fleshed out that the fallout 3 one, and that you have a more personal sense of what you do affects things.

I liked it

9hrs in, I was bored out of my skull. Some 21hrs in, I was on the verge of wanting to go on a killing spree. Despite reaching NV, I just cba to return to it as it is so dull. Yet I utterly loved Fallout 3 to bits thanks to it's environments. NV just seemed stale in every way with bugs all over the place.

The engine doesn't help either, and is showing it's age horribly now.
