Time Drain

Fallout New Vegas man Fallout New Vegas

All my spare time has been going to this game, unlike Fallout 3 it doesn't break my focus by crashing every 5 minutes making me realize how much time has gone by. I find the game pretty damn awesome, wondering the Nevada wastes, taking out large groups of fiends, blowing all your caps at the casinos. The whole game just feels more refined then FO3, while I find that the graphics are nearly identical it seems like they fixed a lot of the "under the hood" stuff. Much less crashing (Not a single crash yet!), runs smoother, better companion management, V.A.T.S seems to be more responsive, the reputation system. One thing I did notice it had less "Post-Apocalyptic" feel to it then FO3, but it seems to fit the spirit of the area if that makes any sense. I haven't been playing on hardcore mode so I cant really comment on it. Music wise I liked FO3 much more, but again it seems appropriate for that Vegas theme. I would love to see FO3 updated with all the under the hood and game play tweaks implemented in New Vegas.

So yea I am still around, not good at reviews, and if you liked FO3 you will probably like New Vegas.
