Time to bring Fallout New Vegas back up, while everyone speculates about GT5's release date.
I finally finished the game last night, after playing about 30+ hours. The game definitely starts very slow, but overall I think its better than FO3. The factions are much more interesting and the non-playable characters are more well written. Though, I would say that the setting and environment in FO3 is better, the characters and factions generally are not. FNV also brings back much of the original humor. FO3 made some attempts at the same sense of humor, but overall the atmosphere was more maudlin and not as dynamic. The only major strike against FNV is that the ending is a little anti-climactic. FO3 did a better job at creating an epic ending and FNV didn't come close to matching it.
Overall, I did enjoy FO3 and I played through to the end twice (including a few other characters that didn't make it very far). And to that end, FNV feels more like a proper sequel to FO1/2 than FO3 ever did.
Its hard for me to argue that you should spend more time with it (6 hours should be plenty for most games, but this one needs about 8-10), but I just wanted to add some more thoughts after finishing the game. New Vegas is probably my game of the year. I'll definitely be playing more of it soon.
