"A very vocal minority like NV and only NV and will give no other version of Fallout any credence because it is not a 2G Platformer that was out of date when it was made.
If you are so sure that NV is so much more popular than either F3 or F4, prove it. Either of those games have outsold NV multiple times over. Bethesda is still in business and going gangbusters with whatever the release. Obsidian is so pathetic that even Disney won't hire them to support one of it's minor gaming efforts and they have to use kick-starter to get funding for a game that turned out to suck anyway.
Don't get me wrong. I love NV. I still play NV. But it is not a Fallout Game (regardless of it's closeness to F1 & F2 in narrative, but, obviously not in design or execution). It is simply an RP game. That's it. The story makes no sense and is completely non-motivational. The DLC's were, on the whole, while entertaining in most cases, pointless, short and meaningless int he context of the main game and the mechanics were needlessly convoluted, complicated and difficult to use.
NV is nothing more than an opportunity for anyone to go in to a game and live a life. That's it. It's No Man's Sky set in the desert, only you're not building anything except useless bullets, or collecting anything that has any use anywhere in the game except to sell. Oh, and let's not forget the endless frustrations of never being able to do anything w/out the correct "perks". Example: Don't even think about trying to make sure that the town doesn't get overrun and taken over by feral prisoners/gangs, if your explosive skills aren't high enough to convince some old coot to contribute or your speech/charisma isn't high enough to convince somebody who's going to die if they don't help their fellow citizens, or fixing some dumb-f*** radio because your repair is high enough in order to convince some dumb bimbo to help... Oh! And you can't do all of them (or combo of them) if you still want to be able to wield you gun or make your useless ammo or hit something appropriately or repair your items or be able to heal yourself or... And it goes on and on and on and that's only in the first hour of the game!
And it just goes on and on and on with moron NPCs and factions that immediately want to destroy you because you didn't want to assist them murdering someone else or that you (and, apparently you alone) are only capable of killing some giant ants to clear a road despite the fact that you are helping a military faction that has better guns, ammo and armor than you.
Stupid, just stupid."
"Yes. NV is like No Man's Sky as it has no point and is simply about the micromanaging of resources and skills sets. That is it.
And NV IS NOT A FALLOUT GAME in any sense of the word. It has nothing to do with anything in CURRENT Fallout. I did say that it was fine if compared to antiquated F1 or F2 games and had a similar feel, but, as a Fallout it game it failed miserably.
I do not understand why you NVers insist that it is perfectly fine to have a game with no point that is all about the micro-managing of skills and skill-sets yet complain endlessly about having to do the same thing in F4 and it's settlement building.
If you love NV then fine, but do not try to confuse an RP opportunity with a lousy story, boring DLCs and endless "skill-checks" and micro-managed skills-sets, boring NPCs and rehashes of just the same old s*** that has and will be explored over and over and over again made by a failure of a company that has never had a unique or creative idea, that specializes in remaking (poorly) other peoples games, only to fail repeatedly, who has been ostracized by so much of the game producing community because of their failures and who have to rely on the financing of suckers that contribute to their campaigns for games that are doomed to failure.
FALLOUT : NEW VEGAS is over. Obsidian will NEVER make another Fallout game. Obsidian will never make a successful game that is not based on somebody else's ideas. Obsidian does not even have most of the people who worked on NV working for them anymore.
Go play your game and stop comparing the betters to the trash put out to satisfy the shallow desires of shallow gamers who can't move in to a new century, generation and methodology of gaming."[/spoiler]
