>>4798880Fallout new vegas has such terrible awe inspiringly bad gameplay that it just hurts to play it
if it'd been top down or had an engine that didn't chug dicks then it'd be almost as good as fallout 1 or 2 maybe, but it was built in a year with a shit engine and it fucking shows
i found the plot and all that pretty good, enjoyable writing, interesting characters etc
but when in a first person shooter, you cant rely on the basic mechanic of actually shooting someone, it just takes me right out of the experience and there's 0 immersion for me
fallout 4's entire shtick is not to have good story or plot or anything like that
it's a loot and shoot with exploration in
the shooting is fun, the core gameplay loop is engaging and bumping the difficulty up to find legendary weapons is incredibly satisfying.
i felt happier using my newly found explosive bullets auto-shotty than i did in any other moment of falllout new vegas
falllout 4 wasnt trying to be immersive, it was barely even trying to be an rpg. it did well at what it was trying to do.
fallout new vegas was held down by dick pinchingly bad gameplay and an engine that should've died 4 years before nv was even released
