Excellent game

I bought the game at launch expecting something great, however I was disappointed. At launch the game ran bad even at low settings ( I have a gtx 1070). Barely hit 30 fps. Barely was using my CPU either. I had to mod the exe for the game to actually use the rest of my cpu. However the recent patches fixed those issues somewhat. There's still quite a few immersion breaking bugs and even game breaking bugs. Sometimes my character wouldn't be able to equip a weapon during combat. Sometimes V would just get stuck in place and I'd have to reload. Item overlays sometimes stay even when I picked up the item. The cars in the distance especially in the badlands are just 2d sprites that continue to cycle. If you stop your car in the middle of the streets cars just stop and traffic builds up. The NPC AI could use some more work. If I fire a gun in the sky they all cower rather than running. If I'm doing a gig and I have to fight people, the npcs outside of the building are just cowered in place after I leave the mission area. If I start a car and an NPC is too close they just jump like I was trying to hit them. The wanted system in the game makes police instantly spawn where you're at. You could be doing an assault side mission and accidentally hit a civilian in the crossfire, suddenly a cop appears out of nowhere and starts shooting you, not the perps who were going to kill the person anyway. You could walk by the police the wrong way and suddenly they're after you. The phone calls feel intrusive at times. I could be doing an interesting side quest then suddenly a fixer calls while I'm already in dialogue. The side quests get stale after a while. Also, why does buying a car have to be a side quest? Most of the major side quests and character arcs center around revenge. I don't mind a revenge story but when it's with every character it gets boring. I don't mind a revenge story but when it's with every character it gets boring. . The rpg elements are alright but not as good as it was made out to be. New vegas still does the roleplaying side of things way better than most modern rpg games. The main story feels short but i liked it. I still found myself attached to certain characters in the main story because their writing was well done. Your lifepaths dont mean much other than special dialogue options. And your dialogue options also don't have a huge impact on the game. Silverhand's side quests were among one of my favorites to play through. The cyberpsycho gigs were also fun. I enjoy this game quite a bit and honestly wish it would have been better. Some areas feel unfinished as well. Me as the consumer shouldn't have to modify game files to fix the game and its issues. The game feels like an early access title at times.
Currently the devs are planning on releasing more major patches to the game in the coming months. But I feel like the game should have been finished from the start, even if it meant delays. Shame on me for giving the game a shot I guess. I don't recommend anyone buy it just yet. Give it a few more months before shelling out 60$.

In my opinion NV was the best game in the fallout series. fo3 was good but new vegas improved everything good about fo3, its well worth the time and effort
