Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I've played through (Skyrim and Oblivion) before even finishing the main quest line. The combat was excellent in my opinion, and I (seem to be in the minority of people who) really liked the story. The choices it forces you to make sometimes really had me feeling emotional at times. I also played it with some minor mods installed, just some custom outfits and real world guns for immersion. Nothing to break the story or anything, though there are a few DLC sized mods I'm eyeing up to play in the future. Overall I seriously enjoyed this game, I've noticed online it seems to be regarded as one of the least popular mainline games but I think it's become my favourite Bethesda game I've tried so far honestly. Seriously recommend anyone who hasn't played this yet to at least give it a try. It really pulled me in.

Edit: Since I'm done with F4, got New Vegas running with some nice mods to add gritty aesthetics and real world weapons. Giving it another try 6 years after I initially tried it and so far I'm way more into it!

I’ve noticed online it seems to be regarded as one of the least popular mainline games

Where have you been looking in order to find that? It's regarded as the best fallout by almost everyone as far as I'm aware.

Or are you confusing Fallout New Vegas with Fallout 4? They are two different games

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What? I've never seen people say that, FNV is widely regarded as the best 3D Fallout game.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. He is playing New Vegas. He got confused and called it 4 because it's the game after 3.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure they're playing Fallout 4, considering they explicitly said they tried FNV before...

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Read his edit.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes, their edit states they are now trying FNV again. Their post, containing the part you quoted, was neither part of the edit nor referencing FNV. Please, just read it again.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Well aware, he gave up to lost interest.

He's not referencing anything apart from title and edit, he talks about the mods and writes his edit like a tldr referencing the mod again.

But sure. If you say so

Their whole post is talking about Fallout 4. What is more likely:

they are talking about Fallout 4
they are confusing Fallout 4 with Fallout New Vegas, a game they played previously and just said they'd try again after having played Fallout 4, having freshly installed and modded it, still not noticing that they already played through the game just before, while also confusing the online coverage for a totally different game

Please, just think for a moment.

I've talked to lots of people who confused fallout 4 and new Vegas thinking 4 was just another name for it.

It's a common misconception.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Sure, but there's no reason to expect this when somebody explicitly mentions having previously played FNV. In doing so, you're assuming OP to be a giant idiot.

[–] Atomic@sh.itjust.works 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not at all. You can stop being so hostile and angry. I don't assume OP is an idiot. Or anyone making the mistake thinking NV and 4 are the two names for the same game.

Quite a logical mistake to make seeing as the previous game is called 3.

I do however think you're an angry little man

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Again: they stated they already played FNV before Fallout 4. You're assuming they are confusing the game they are currently playing for one they played previously. Had OP not previously stated they'd already played FNV you'd have a point. As-is, you're assuming they are too stupid to remember that the game they are playing right now is one they've already played previously and remember under a different name.

Played fallout 4, now I'm back to trying new Vegas again
