Am I the only one losing interest in FNV?

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 3:30 am

for people into puzzlesolving i'm sure it was fun, i like the challenge of a complex dungeon or building to explore and sneak around in, or having to use tactics to deal with enemies, i don't mind some minor puzzlesolving but it was really heavy on puzzlesolving and puzzles just aren't my thing, but the holorifle was cool.


Don't all dungeons have puzzles some way or another?

Because that's basically what Dead Money is, just way more fun and without stupid brick labyrinths.

i can see the fun in the dlc for some people, the posion gas was a big annoyance and the beeping collar was annoying, dungeons generally you can take your time and sneak around, go slow, to me dead money i felt rushed.

Not Bethesda dungeons, unless you consider finding a key or a switch to open a particular locked door a puzzle. Frankly, I don't think anything in Dead Money really qualifies as a puzzle either. Avoiding toxic gas and running past or shooting speakers is more arcade-like than puzzle-like; a puzzle would be something that forces you to stop and think for a bit like the Tower of Hanoi puzzle in Knights of the Old Republic.

im not losing interest, im just getting bored, im level 35, with nothing to do, bethesda is making a HUGE mistake taking this long to release dlcs, cuz now every1 is getting bored, but u all know as soon as the dlc comes out well be all over it, and they should release another 1 as soon as were done with the next one. and well all be all over it especially if they raise the lever cap to 40 :D (i mean if u already have dead money)


Personally I think it would be an even bigger mistake if they rushed out the additional content whether it's DLC or expansion so fast that it was bug ridden and poorly designed. Need I remind people of the debauchle of Fallout 3's DLCs when they were released with The Pitt being one big mess of missing texture symbols when it first came out, Operagtion Anchorage when released for the PC was a broken Alpha build of it.

Would you rather get DLC/Expansion that the Devs had taken the time to ensure were as complete and bug free as they could or that they rush them out half done full of bugs because the instant gratification crowd were demanding them yesterday.

Indeed, the Fallout 3 DLC was one disaster after another. I still remember how the initial release of the Pitt was completely unplayable for many people (myself included) because of a glitch that always caused a CTD when you approached the train tunnel.

Regardless, if someone is bored the best thing to do is move onto another game until the DLC comes out. Seriously, New Vegas isn't going anywhere and spending some time away from it may actually help make playing the DLC more enjoyable when it does come out.

But it's SUPPOSED to be puzzle solving. Dead Money isn't meant to be a shooter with a linear route as you kill anything that moves. It's meant to be hell, because it's providing, whether you are willing to admit it or not, a challenge. See, the problem is, people say 'I WANT CHALLENGE' but when faced with that challenge, people are mad because they aren't used to using their brain to survive a game. Dead Money makes you appreciate everything you find. When you play New Vegas, you go, 'Oh, a stim, radaway, whatever item' But in Dead Money, you'll likely go 'YES! I FOUND A STIM!' or any other healing item. Dead Money makes you appreciate what is over abundant in the regular world.


It's his right to feel that way, and you don't have to feel the need to jump in and "correct him."
Oddly enough, what you described sounded an awful lot like FO3..

Nope, not really.

I go 'Oh look, another stim in a pile of 100.' when I get a stimpack in FO3.

People nowadays simply dont want to use their minds to think and their just want to pick a gun and shoot to kill if a game dont have that, then it svcks on sight

Dead Money suceeded with the purposes, dont liking and bad reviews are just subjective to every person

So? The point of a video game shouldnt be mindless yawp, it should be about expanding your horizons. You may not be good at puzzles, but whether you realize it or not, you've expanded your world of expertise, even if by only 1%


Love that :celebration:

That's exactly what it amounts to.

Enjoy it while it last because in my opinion it's going to get old fast, then your going to have to put up with people saying just play the DLC or better yet, don't play it that much put away don't play it to death like it going to get better over time like a fine wine. :rofl: Because I know I have played Fallout 3 to death and beyond and guess what I still play it, same for all my other favorite games hell im still stuck on my game cube playing Eternal Darkness.

56 says its boring now and 43 aren't bored yet, could almost 60% be wrong? and thats on the new vegas forum, i would think most people on this forum would still be having a blast with new vegas, its looking like obsidian ignored what most people really wanted in a fallout game, which is mainly exploration and an interesting environment, they ignored those important elements of the game, most people don't want a empty environment with next to nothing in it. thats doens't give you much to do and the story doesn't come close to making up for the lack of things to do in the game, lets all hope a big lesson was learned here by obsidian.

Ok, lemme voice my displeasure at Wests last post.

1. Where did you get the "Most" from? If you get a poll on this site saying "What is the best Fallout game," Fallout 1 is sure to win big time. FNV sold many more copies than FO3.

2. "Mainly exploration?" What the [censored]? Excuse my salty speech, but what the hell? Most people as I said before like FO1 on this forum, so they clearly want many great quests.

3. How is FO3's world interesting? I live in D.C, and Bethesda totally failed at it. It was a copy pasted mess.

4. How is there a lack of things to do? The entire [censored] map is filled to the brim with great quests, hell, many more quests than FO3. There is no lack of stuff to do.

5. Lets hope Bethesda learned a HUGE lesson from FNV, people want Fallout to be the way it was!

And where, of representive of all people, did people vote that they wanted exploration and combat in it?

Exactly.

When it's a [censored] opinion there is no right or wrong, I am "wrong" to like New Vegas because aparently you believe in Mob Rule?

and thats on the new vegas forum, i would think most people on this forum would still be having a blast with new vegas,


Well you hate NV yet still prowl the Nv forums looking for oppertuinities.
