61. Fallout: New Vegas (2010) - PC

I didn't beat this. I played it for around 4 or 5 hours and quit because playing it made me feel so bad. The story and characters were barely there, and even the quests seemed lame. I did get up to a quest that was a bit more interesting (the one with the ghouls fighting the demons), but navigating that area was too much of a pain. It reminds me of why I often like 2D games so much better than 3D games: it's way easier to navigate a 2D area than a 3D area, unless you have a real good map and signposting. New Vegas has neither. The bad area design is the worst part of the game, but honestly, I disliked everything else about it too. The combat is awful, with the VATS system being a stupid halfway between turn-based combat and real-time FPS (Outer Worlds combat was much more fun, despite mostly being a basic FPS where you can freeze time). The "running" speed is absurdly slow, and though I mostly fixed that with mods, it was kinda too late. The world's super empty - there's no need for the game to be so big. And it's a very ugly game. Not just in terms of fidelity - everything's shades of brown and grey. More color would make it way easier to navigate, I think. Kinda feels like a game they could make a great remake out of - put this in the Outer Worlds engine and I'd be way more willing to play through it. As it is, it's the worst game I've played in over a year.
