This Tyrant guy sure does a thorough test before not recommending.
now that's dedication!
As for Beth removing reviews. It is obvious they are in damage control mode, but removing stuff is kinda counter productive. Maybe they are panicking.

I did not know that Bethderp would use textures from the 90s. That or the texture itself rusted thoroughly during development into oblivion.
Uhh house robot can work for 200 years but power armor lasts 5 minutes?
Nevermind that FO 1+2 had established that power armor can last 100 years on a microfusion cell. Bethderp treats lore like a nympho treats faithfulness.

Guys, please don't judge me, but after reading this thread I decided to play Fallout... New Vegas, again.

Even forgetting lore rape, or even not taking in consideration the inconsistencies with the robot battery, a "micro-tank" that only works for a few hours would be useless in real warfare, and if it lasts minutes it'd be a sheer joke.
They wanted people to feel awesome from the beginning and then realized everything became too easy and "fixed it" by limiting usage, likely. Now, it was easy to solve. Give the player a "defective power armor" so you can justify the short usability and still keep in the game the goal to find a fully functional one. But I suppose that's not the case, right.

It's telling what he rambles on the most about. First the humour and then essentially "WTF did they just repackage our stuff and have enough balls to carve out their own unique corner of the world???"

Why would I judge you? Seeing as I did the same.
Dead Money is just as good as I remembered. And by the time I am done with New Vegas, Underrail should have come out.
Pathetic, should be 4ing-it-up like a reel gamer. wuts the matter? yo momma cant afford to buy new games? Sort that ho out and join the other kodexkoolkids.
Imagine going back to an un-VAed protag in 2015, it's like an episode of doctor who!

Medal of Honor: Fallout Beach
So far I am kinda having fun with it, honestly. I have to add Fallout 3 was my first Fallout and I first played FO1 2 years ago and yes, FO1 is of course better. Yet I just try to see the game as an FPS genremix that is not related to Fallout, so it's ok-ish. The Minecraft part tho is absolutely horrific and making me wanna scream, I really really hate it, it is so un-fun to run around in circles in your bases trying to scrap stuff. Also I have no idea how to connect generators to stuff that requires power because the game doesnt explain anything. Prolly through those laser wires but I cannot find stuff to build them.
Which leads me to my next point, the fact that you have to collect every single item ingame just to get the shit you need for building. I am an avid collector in games, quite addicted to collecting actually so I can make money, but this is taking it too far. I'm cramming up my inventory with ashtrays, baby bottles and used gas canisters so that I can extract resources from it and this is not fun at all. Jesus.
The slow-mo V.A.T.S. is also pretty bad, it's too fast and you often end up fumbling around while trying to aim for the head.
Yet exploration is ok, there are more handplaced items than in Fallout 3 and so far level scaling wasn't too bad. Dialogues are an utter joke tho, I already forgot half of what people told me because I cannot give a damn about them and the stupid dialogue wheel doesn't help.
Overall it's ok as your typical AAA game but you must not see it as anything Fallout-related. It just happens to bear the same name.
PS: Ignoring people who play the game, oh so edgy. If you are 12 years old

Unmodded FO:NV >> Failderp 3 and 4, even heavily modded.
Indeed. There would have been so many better solutions to this quest than giving the player god mode mk II.

Why would we judge you for playing the best Fallout game since Fallout?
And now you really understand the drama of your husband dying at the beginning...
That's the right way to look at it. As I don't like shooters, I'll skip.

So I just killed a raider who was using a set of T-60 armor (isn't this like the most advance non-enclave power armor according to bethesda's lore?)
Holy shit. I thought the entire 'raider with power armor' thing people were talking about was a joke.

Don’t heal Dogmeat
Yes, his whimpers are heart breaking and you’ll feel like a monster letting him limp around, but don’t waste a Stimpak on Dogmeat unless you really need him backing you up immediately. Stimpaks are a valuable and rare resource in the first few hours of the game, and you’ll need them way more than he does.
He can’t die, and will heal as soon as the fighting stops, so just leave him be and take revenge on the jerks who hurt him. Violent, brutal revenge.

Well, it does kinda make sense if they explain it by giving you an old, damaged and unmaintained Power Armor which you can later replace with one in working condition that doesn't have the limitation, but I guess Bethesda didn't do it like that, did they?

I found the guy at Lv. 20, so a few hours in. To be fair, he was wearing the exo-skeleton and it wasn't the full set. A helmet and a torso.
