Still a 7? Just curious, what made it fun for you? What were the expectations? Legit curious, as finding a good comment about the game that doesnt sound salty af is far in between.

I found skyrim fun for 60ish hours and than got extremely bored. Never touched it again. Starfield looked like that but barren as hell, which is not what it is sold as. Those are my personal reasons for not touching it though!

well, i thought of it as fallout 4 in space before playing. it has a couple core gameplay changes i liked and a couple i didn't. it is the slowest paced bethesda game for sure, which is why i think most people call it boring. if you didnt replay skyrim i doubt you would replay this game. i give it a 7/10 for people of my taste and i would consider myself the intended audience. i have played bethesda games since oblivion and average about 200 hours per bethesda game, usually 3 playthroughs seperated by about a year or 2. for reference here are my top bethesda games:

  1. Fallout: New Vegas - 9/10(obsidian for a major win)
  2. Fallout 3 - 9/10
  3. Oblivion - 9/10
  4. Skyrim - 8/10
  5. Fallout 4 - 8/10
  6. Starfield - 7/10
  7. Fallout 76 - 3/10 - i wish i could enjoy this game

these scores reflect how much i enjoyed each game. but if New Vegas had no technical issues it would be 10/10 for me.

Ye, that makes perfect sense, thanks! From your other scoring, i can see the game isnt that bad, but just average. Even compared to the others, which are rated a lot higher. From this i can also assume id enjoy the game for like 30sh hours, because this isnt 100% my jam. For me that wouldnt be worth the full price, but i can understand for somebody that would put 200h in np it would be worth it :)

Yeah it's not a bad game by any standards, but it's not mind-blowingly great either. It has some cool and interesting concepts.

It's on game pass if you want a (potentially) cheaper way to try it.

[-] DacoTaco@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

No thanks. Im personally against gsme pass. I dont like their model snd prefer to own things

[-] devbo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

yeah pretty much. i wouldnt recommend it to anybody that doesn't love bethesda's other games.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

New Vegas has no technical issues if you mod it properly these days!

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

Can I mod new Vegas to make it look or perform better on an Xbox? The graphics really break my immersion.

[-] deranger@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The Xbox version sucks ass, easily the buggiest version. Play it on PC, anything can run it now.

New Vegas

Mirrors from a tower plant magically turning into solar panels when installed on an airbase? 0/10 unplayable.

[-] Aermis@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Not op but I too give it 6 or 7. I liked the story. I liked shooting things. I liked the dialogue. I liked the base building. Liked the graphics, it was super quick for me on my 4900 xt. But everything was liked. Not loved. It was mediocre in everything. The POI were fun, but there are like 10 that get recycled. I like the planets but they're also recycled. I like the cities but they're all the size of a tiny town. It's fun but it was sold as something grand which undersold it's promises. First colony outside of earth, biggest civilization, has like a population of 100 if that. They should have sold the entire story as worlds on the rim. Not the hub of humanity.

yeah i would agree with you for the most part. i guess im lucky i ignored the hype after the announcement. i have seen the hype train derail too many times.
