NEW VEGAS!

[Corsair]

Just beat the game as an Independent Vegas after slaughtering the NCR and Legion. Got my army of Mk. II Securitrons under Yes Man, and now I'm playing again, this time a different combat style, going to bring Vegas under NCR control.

Now, Hardcore mode. DON'T. FRIGGING. BOTHER. If it's on, turn it off. The "Special Reward"? An achievement. Yep. I had thought it would be something cool, like a New Game Plus sort of thing. But nope.

Also, Karma = Damn useless in this game. I finished as a Very Good last time, and I had not once seen a Karma-related conversation option or perk. I downloaded a mod to get perks every level, because every other level is just frustrating.

The music. They used Fallout 2 music. Yeah, from about 20 years ago. How's that for laziness? I didn't get into gambling, and the textures are as boorish as ever. Aesthetically, it's alright, since there's so much there, but it's missing on the little details. Audibly, I had to turn it off and use the in-Steam browser to listen to my Pandora account. Radio is absolutely TERRIBLE. There's about 4 songs total that play on the radio. On all four radio stations. The same four songs for the four different radio stations in the game. WUT.

So if you can deal with irritating textures, a slightly confusing story, and horribad music, New Vegas is a lot of fun.
