Read the full review: www.gamespot.com/ps3/rpg/fallo... Major technical problems blemish this enjoyable and sophisticated adventure through the western wastes.
This game is a HUGE step up from Fallout 3, and if you want to play this game to its maximum potential, play it on the PC.

dapoculos13 I often wondered that - hey dap how many 'unofficial' bug patches are out for New Vegas and how good are they are AND how is the game now on PC cause it's still pretty crap on PS3 ... A long time ago I was a PC gamer was at fork in the road and chose to get a PS3 instead of upgrading .... fuck my life ...

I don't know EXACTLY how many there are because there are just SOO many fansites and forums dedicated to Fallout, but there are optimization mods that can remove stuttering and increase your framerate. You can google it for yourself if you like.

I've been playing Fallout New Vegas for a couple weeks now on my windows 7 laptop and it hasn't crashed once! I played Fallout 3 to near-completion (discovering all the locations,doing all the quests, finding all unique weapons,etc.) and the game would crash at least once every twenty minutes or so, or when I was fighting enemies up close in small rooms.I bought both games on Steam, and if any of you have tried to download fallout 3 onto your windows 7 computer, you will know how annoying it is to install. Regardless of all the crashes, Fallout 3 is easily one of my favorite games of all time, which makes Fallout New Vegas, with its little-to-no crashes, more content, and overall cooler weapons and factions, a better game. That's just my opinion though, so if any of you want to take a nice ol' dump on it, be my guest!

@Exvzz The problem is that there is very little replay value in Fallout 3. You play through the linear storylines once or twice, and you've seen the whole thing. New Vegas was not linear, they were interconnected (sign of a well-designed storyline with divergent paths and side-quests). If you do a sidequest here and there, it will change how you progress through the rest of the game. You didn't get that in Fallout 3. You could miss/skip a great number of locations and you'd never notice.

This review is all wrong but so is every review that comes from GameSpot. The story is way better than Fallout 3 which mostly consisted of you trying to find your father. The side missions are so well done in this game that some are even better than the main story mission in Fallout 3. The reputation system is also a welcome addition because it allows you to craft your own story based on who you decide to side with. Also the game is way more balanced than Fallout 3. You don't get to choose a perk every level and also have traits that have pluses and minuses. Lastly, weapon mods! Weapon mods really add more depth to the gun play by allowing you to alter your weapons damage output, magazine size, and firerate. All these things are what make New Vegas better game than Fallout 3 and my favorite game of all time.

@Exvzz New Vegas doesn't require you to pay attention to the main quest either. The difference again, is that you had an actual choice and your decisions do affect the outcome, even if you're not on the main quest. No matter what you did in Fallout 3, you had to follow a linear path with only a very minor variation (whether to poison the Purifier or not, and even then, that effect is hardly seen in Broken Steel). Nothing else you did had any bearing.

@Exvzz As for New Vegas, I love it. To put that into perspective, I have had Fallout 3 for 2 years and change, bought all the DLC, beat all the quests, and did so in maybe only 160 hours of total play time over two years. It just doesn't have replay value, even trying to do things differently, there just isn't as much, and it's all old hat. On the other hand, I've pretty much been playing New Vegas over and over again. I've already put in over 240 hours of play time since November.

I've played both and I've found New Vegas to be much more interesting to explore. Not to mention New Vegas pays details to minor things, which add to its greatness. For example, in F3 people scavenge Super Markets to get food (Megaton for example). But tell me, how are there so many supplies to feed them all? Yes, there are also traders but that's not enough either. Now let's look at Goodsprings. How do they feed? There's a shitton of farms all over the place.

I'm playing this now on the Xbox 360. I'm not entirely sure if I'm playing the same version as van Ord. 1) I never really got into Fallout 3, didn't understand all the complicated abbreviations and rules, exploration thing, any of it for that matter. Fallout New Vegas gave an excellent tutorial and roster of beginner missions so that got you used to the system. 2) I do believe that most of the bugs, speaking in 2014 have been wiped out. I've not experienced anything that broke the game apart from a few graphical glitches that, really, just added to my enjoyment. 3) I play RPGs BECAUSE of the quests, not because of the storyline, and there are some truly wonderful moments I've experienced thus far in New Vegas. Also, I like the fact that the quest structure basically burrows you deep in over-arcing storylines of your own devising. Mr House is literally a canvas over which everything is painted. In short, it's great, and this review gave the bug thing waaaay too much focus. Admittedly, it probably gave Obsidian a kick up the backside and made them patch it up, so I'm probably talking out of my arse.

The game crashes, files get corrupted, the new patch sometimes causes files to be unable to load, sometimes the game can't detect the hard drive, there are some quests that you simply can't complete. The game is buggy, just because you played it once and didn't run into any bugs doesn't mean they don't exist.
