Don't forget about Fallout 1+2. They're about as janky as Planescape: Torment, but still great games.

Don't forget [two perfect masterpieces]. They're about as janky as [another perfect masterpiece].
I... guess I agree?
I gotta be honest. I love New Vegas and FO1 but I gave up on 2 somewhere around Vault City. I'm sure the game has it's good moments, but the total whiplash of all the proto "so Random XD" humor got to me. I don't mind some random wackyness in FO, it just has to actually be funny.
That's a hot take I 100% agree with. Fallout 1 nailed the vibe and was perfect from start to finish. While 2 has a ton of great moments (Frank Horrigan is amazing), it isn't as totally consistent.
New Vegas married the two quite nicely.
I'm a simple man. I see Fisto, I upvote Fisto.
For anyone thinking about playing New Vegas again, check out Viva New Vegas! Fixes the gunplay, bugs, lighting, crashes, balance, and adds new important features like expanded consequences for your actions, cut content, a post-game where you can see the consequences of your choices, and better visuals!
Crazy that everybody had serious bug issues with FNV except me(i had more bug issues with fallout 4 than FNV)
Even if you didn't notice them, they're there! For example, the iron sights are almost all misaligned, but this mod pack fixes that.
I've heard it's mostly due to either low strength, weapon skill or in the case of the Hunting Rifle and Survivalist's Rifle, faults in the model itself.
That's how weapon sway usually works, alongside innate weapon spread, but there are legitimately misaligned iron sights at 0 spread and perfect stats, unintentionally from the devs. Other fun bugs include increased aim shaking when further from the center of the worldspace, micro stutters, an inability to play beyond 60FPS without destroying physics, weapon lighting assuming light sources are not where they actually are, and more!
All of these are fixed, and result in a New Vegas as you remember it, not as it actually exists. Absolutely worth playing with VNV.
To bad that even years after the release it was so bugged that i couldn't play it through.
Except for some crashs i found the reason, i never had serious bugs
Did you mod your game? Modded should have no crashes anymore.
Only 4gb patcher
That fixes the vast majority of crashes, but you also need other mods to manage memory, as it's bugged in Vanilla.
I prefer 4 and 3 to NV ngl
Fallout 3 i can understand but Fallout 4 god no. Every great things in FNV were removed in Fallout 4
I have some opinions about 4, but nothing like the vitriol you feel towards it lol. Could I get an example of some things they removed in your opinion?
My complaints mostly boil down to how mediocre the story, world, and characters are. But I can't think of anything they removed necessarily, just poorly implemented
They removed traits, a proper SPECIAL system, skills, proper skill checks, the reputation system, etc.
The complete oversimplification/destruction of dialogue trees still makes no sense to me.
You forgot weapons/outfits durability
Fallout 4 is good, but not as good as Fallout 3 and FNV
Why?
I love the atmosphere in 3, it was my introduction to Fallout. And with 4 I have just so much fun with the world, the characters and modding it.
That's fair, have you played around with modding New Vegas? The mod scene is incredible lately.
I have no Intention of modding NV tbh
Why not?
I think that's fairly common to be more in love with the first thing you tried. IME, I had played Fallout 1 and 2 as they released. Was exited for 3 when it came out, and while I thought it was a great game, it didn't feel like Fallout. New Vegas feels like the Fallout I know. 4 even feels like a good representation, though not as deep.
But I might feel as you do if I first played 3. Then all the other Fallout games would feel weird. lol
