Redacted: I am sorry but I was wrong. ( In reference to the November 2010 post, 'What happens in the SWS, stays in the SWS.'

Premature ejaculation.

That's what I am going to blame this on. I just finished playing all four of the endings for Fallout: New Vegas and would like to redact the previous, looking forward review INU score I had given it, 4.25. This game is not a 4.25. More like 3.50.

I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed son...

This had everything going for it, a new/old developers, its previous successor, while also a mess, ran better than this, the original story from Fallout 1&2, this really being Fallout 3 that never was. So many new game play elements compared to Fallout 3, such glory and splendor with the bright lights of New Vegas. Then it goes and pisses down its leg.

It is aggravatingly broken, it has been out for months now and has now released two DLCs and is still fucking broken. Sorry for the language. But it is! True, they have released updates to fix this broken POS, but it seems one fix, breaks another. Characters still glitch through walls, some random scripted events don't happen, the game crashes, frequently,  and some of the saves don't save. First companion I joined was a hovering robot named ED-E, an Enclave robot, well anyways it had been a constant companion until the bastard game decided he would glitch into the scenery. Where he is useless and useless. I can't dismiss him to get other companions, or to go into areas where he can't go and now I hear the new DLC doesn't automatically dismiss your companions,...well shit.

Fallout 3, you could walk out the door of your Megaton home and pick a direction and usually find something new and different that you hadn't seen before even after hours of game play. Fallout: New Vegas didn't have that magic, this is the desert I guess. The story line ended abruptly in Fallout 3 which many scoffed at (Ranvier) but it had a sense of urgency for the need of the greater good and they did add DLC to finish that story. Money money money. Fallout: New Vegas story lines didn't have that feeling, it was more about greed, in my opinion and it wasn't all that engrossing.

I bitch. I still will buy the eventual DLC when it comes out keeping my fingers crossed that they fix the broken shit and the game can go on. No way I am going to pay full price like I did before, I learned my lesson. Man, I love Fallout. Fallout 4 will be better. Oh well, Skyrim is coming out in November, trade one evil for another?
