New Vegas appreciation thread

I AM GETTING SICK AND TIRED OF THIS SHIT!!!!

Look, obviously it's a 6 year old game so it's gonna be lacking in many areas compared to more modern titles but that doesn't mean the game is complete garbage whatsoever - you're basically a NEWFAG gamer if you can't appreciate it.

Yes the combat isn't the best, yes I understand there's no settlements, customisation of weapons, armour etc. that you find in FO4 but it's still a very worthy release for 2010.

I'm also not buying this "the map just looks like a brown/grey doughnut and there's no variation in different locations" - so what, I liked the map and I'm sure many others did!

Also how about this haters: casino and ammo customisation, what have you got to say to that??

Obviously it's not as good as FO4 but given it was on a much smaller budget and timescale, it deserves some respect!

Rant over....

Caravan was fun

Wish it was in 4

All i can think about

Any game that explains Hegelian Dialectics is worth the price of admission

NV > FO3

>Blue hud

Apparently Obsidiots haven't had enough of shitting on better games so now retards like OP resort to contradicting their actual opinion on the game in the hopes other likeminded NVfaggots will hype the game up more.

I reinstalled it the other day, but to my dismay it wouldn't pick up my keyboard or mouse.
I tried a bunch of fixes and nothing.
So RIP I guess...

How do I git gud at caravan?

I think I understand it but never win it.

Very possibly, personally I prefer FO3. Both pale in comparison to FO4 of course though

FO4 is shit you fucking pleb

literally no reason to play FO3 when TTW exists

>Obviously it's not as good as FO4

>Obviously it's not as good as FO4

>Hegelian Dialectics
It feels like this is always mentioned in FNV threads but I still can't recall hearing it in the game nor do I know what it is being the pleb that I am.

>he doesn't use amber HUD

Unplug the controller

>Obviously it's not as good as FO4

I already did that.
There wasn't one plugged in at all before or after I installed the game.

NV is better than FO4, FO4 is even shittier than FO3.

It's from Caesar's route.

>but that doesn't mean the game is complete garbage whatsoever

Majority of Sup Forums likes New Vegas. I see it all the time in 3x3s.

>you're basically a NEWFAG gamer if you can't appreciate it.

Or you just don't care for Obsidian's narratives...that's what most people play it for. The combat is lacking, the engine is flawed and dated (even for its time). The character building and RPG elements are fun (but flawed as hell) and there aren't really a lot of games that fill the same niche that the FPS Fallouts sit inside. Stalker scratches part of that itch, but it has a different appeal.

>I liked the map and I'm sure many others did!

Not a meaningful, interesting or valid argument.

>casino and ammo customisation, what have you got to say to that??

Both of those mechanics were pretty uninteresting imo. Combat is shit already, and the Casino can be fun for some I guess, but gambling has been done way better in other WRPGs.

New Vegas was pretty decent, better than 3 definitely. Fallout 4 was definitely a step up though, shooting is so much better, story is so much more memorable, atmosphere, setting, challenge etc. There's just much more to do as well, which for a sandbox game is important to have a lot of quality content

That kinda explains it. I haven't even done a proper pro-Legion playthrough. Just House (favourite), Yesman and NCR.

I agree with this user, personally didn't enjoy NV whatsoever but probably because I've played a lot of RPGs and not just a small handful of the mainstream ones.

Caesar uses it to explain his grand plot. The thesis is the NCR and in a broader sense, democracy. The antithesis is the Legion, and it's imperialistic, totalitarian autocracy.

Not true OP, NV was shit and you know it was. It's garbage compared to FO4

>Rant over....

you need to go back.

NV is shit.

Obsidian is the developer of choice for pseudo-intellectual fucktards who think "grey morality" = intellectualism. It's no wonder Sup Forums loves it.

I think NV gets way more hate than deserved, it wasn't the best fallout or RPG/sandbox game by any stretch but doesn't deserve the criticism it gets at all

I don't understand how you weren't motivated to put on football padding and run directly towards automatic weaponry while wielding nothing but a spear, while also swearing off all chems and medicine, and being REQUIRED to treat your wife like a slave on pain of death so that the bed would never feel warm between you, while worshiping a man who had a tumor, knowing the civilization you were fighting for was going to collapse once its aging leader died.

I'm playing through it right now. Already at level 32, and I've barely touched the main quest. I've done virtually every sidequest I could find. At what point do I have to choose a faction to side with?

user you're replying to - I enjoyed it, but at the end of the day that's because of Obsidian's writing and not much else.

Hello, Todd.

>falseflag shitposter

we've all been in agreement for a while here that this game blows 3 and 4 out of the water

>Obviously it's not as good as FO4
It's better than FO4 desu. NV is an actual fallout game. 3 and 4 are just skyrim with guns. They have no world building, limited dialog options, boring characters (with a few exceptions). This would all be acceptable if the games were fun, but nobody plays fallout for the gunplay, that has never been what the series is about yet 3 and 4 build their entire world around action and shooting rather than freedom and choice.

Well I for one disagree with that, New Vegas was a decent game at the time but has aged terribly, couldn't touch it now after experiencing FO4, I'd feel like I had nothing to do.

> all

Bullshit, I rate FO4>FO3/FO2 > New Vegas

Not a bad game but way off the mark of others in the series.

3 > nv
get over it faggots

This

sup todd

if youre going to shitpost with a meme atleast do it right

Agree

What are some good ENB mods. I love new vegas but i wish it looked better

>want to listen to a LP whilst playing something
>start up FNV
>half an hour in turn off LP so I can hear the radio better

This sounds like a Reddit post

It's better than "the good choice" and "the bad choice" and in some cases "the best choice" or "worst choice" I think.

...

GET OUT MR HOWARD

Didn't like NV at all, thank fuck Bethesda did 4

The one you like user, the one you want. There is no obligatory choice for faction, I did Yesman on my first playthrough and I wasn't expecting exactly what I got.

I'm a house man myself, but. . .
>I don't understand how you weren't motivated to put on football padding and run directly towards automatic weaponry while wielding nothing but a spear
The legion uses guns. The lowest ranks are merely required to prove themselves in close quarters first.
> while also swearing off all chems and medicine
This one is indeed a big weakness of the legion.
>and being REQUIRED to treat your wife like a slave on pain of death so that the bed would never feel warm between you
Are you really required to do so? I didn't encounter that in the game ever, and I've done a legion playthrough.
>while worshiping a man who had a tumor, knowing the civilization you were fighting for was going to collapse once its aging leader died.
Curing him of his tumor is a quest.

I like all the fallouts and theres nothing you can do to stop me.

what is ttw

Fucking kids

this game was so bad it forced me to fast travel..in a bethesda style open world game, and even then the locations were bad. absolute fucking trash

I've played the beginning of new vegas so many times I just can't play the game anymore.

I like new vegas but it's shit. It's like you take dark souls 2 out of the souls series and make a SHITTIER prequel and a SHITTIER sequel. how is that even possible you ask me because dark souls 2 is the worst souls game, but is still fun as heck. Just like new vegas.

Rant over...

fucking old people

It loads all of f03 in new vegas's engine updates.

You can travel between the two games.

>Giving valuable weaponry to grunts, who would just lose them anyway
>Letting your people get hooked on chems instead of learning to live without them and being able to thrive in the most primitive conditions.
>Not just getting three more slave girls to warm the bed up if you're cold

Caesar is best. Death to Legate Lanius, Monster of the East. Long Live Legate Courier, Son of Mercury.

I'm not sure if I got burnt out with FO3, but I didn't enjoy NV as much as 3.

> Mod game
> Play as Snake
> Wander NV in box
> This will be fun

This actually. Not the gunplay, just the replayability. So much quicker with NV, and the perks have actual combat ramifications. The fallout 4 perks are pretty much pay to play. Only real creativity in FO4 is the settlements

Perks, and the way the combat actually flow when you hit your enemies. Mods make a big difference but skyrim, FO3, and FO4 play like shit. I hate the combat. Bullet sponges everywhere

Same here. Played through 3 at least twice, couldn't finish NV.
I don't know if I got burnt out, or didn't enjoy the new setting or something.
Then, I couldn't get into other newer Bethesda games either, so it's probably my general aversion to their RPG formula.

Better feel for gunplay. Amd better hitboxes no matter what NVfags say. But I enjoy the ability to actually one shot an enemy with a sniper rifle outside of VATS and the added benefit of being able to hurt an enemy who is in power armor or is a Sentry bot

Now you understand how HL2 fans feel.

Its the gameplay I enjoyed. Legion is more retarded than any faction outside of then atom followers. But the game is so much more fun
