yeah

'cause if there's one thing Skyrim needs more of

is ugly dust-brown

...everywhere

I kid. I like New Vegas, but it has its share of problems.

Plus the animations are INCREDIBLY unsightly. Skyrim is the only Bethesda or Fallout or TES game I've played where the animations don't look like the people are running in place on a treadmill in the most robotic and unsettling way possible

i admire skyrim trying to give some variety to the locales

but

given the choice i would gladly play new vegas (despite the bugs) (and yeah the animations are pretty shit)

New Vegas is superior to Fallout 3 IMO simply because it's more balanced and refined.

It's more of the same, but better.

Sans a... less interesting setting than the ruins of D.C.

LOTS of guns. Lots of new melee weapons, lots of energy weapons, so much variety.

And for once... good guns are rare. Like... actually good, non-broke guns.

The first guns you find for a while are just garbage. But when you get the decent guns... it really feels nice. Compare that to Fallout 3 where it's the same couple of boring guns over and over without much care in where they are.

Oh, and the guns actually use proper accurate ammunition this time. Yaaay.

.... I would have liked an HMG in new vegas, that about my only complaint....

By that I mean a M-2 styled one that fires .50mg rounds..... they seem to have forgotten what the MG stands for.

Wouldn't that be a bit over the to-

Oh wait

miniature nuke launcher

never-mind

Also, those things are typically mounted on vehicles

and uhhh

are heavy

extremely heavy

Not to mention that the game already has an anti-materiel rifle that fires the same ammunition

not to mention i enjoy the writing a lot and find it nice to have some moderate control over the story and different ways of dealing with things other than

"FIX PROJECT PURITY AND MAYBE PUT POISON IN WATER?"

and the dlc settings are fun

giant crater full of scientific misadventures, ruins full of toxic red cloud and freaks in hazmat suits, zion valley, recently nuked hellhole full of skinless looking men and monsters that casually kill deathclaws

Also, the deathclaws feel even deadlier in New Vegas

'cause they have armor thresholds now

as if they couldn't be any scarier

see

first time i messed with a deathclaw

i got slaughtered

second time i waited

got good guns

did all of my business before going to the quarry

killed them with the holorifle from dead money, bam, done

so when i eventually pick up fallout 3 again for old times sake, i'm complacent

i try fucking with a deathclaw

nope, dead in two hits

at the time

i was exploring around

and recently got out of a nasty scuffle with a whole bunch of raiders and used up all of my stimpanks

so i'm at half health

but i figured that's fine

and my i had dumped all of my points into melee weapons because i had a chinese officer's sword i liked

and then a deathclaw

i try slashing at it

bam, knocked back and on death's door

thankfully, this was right next to vault 92

so i try running away and into the vault

it catches me and i'm dead

hahaha melee was garbage in F3

so was about everything other than just plain shooty guns

New Vegas actually helped balance it a bit more

I used energy weapons in fallout 3 for good effect.

Once you have broken steel, and operation anchorage, they become fucking OP due to the gauss rifle, or worse.... the tesla cannon.

I just realized in metroid prime

at the beginning you don't feel invincible, you could fail

that kinda goes away in the middle of the game and doesn't show up again til near the end

Imca, I have random question: what armored core games have you played besides 4A? I was a bit surprised to run into someone else that plays it.

So it turns out that the Magic 2015 prerelease started at 12:00 instead of 1:00, so I missed it. Ah well.
