There's been so much moaning about this game on forums everywhere that I have to add my tuppenceworth.  - 
- I have never been so addicted to a game ever...I got this last Fri and have played over 50hours already, this is whilst doing a full time job.
I loved F3 but this is something else........ 
That Is All.

I agree.

Yeah,  I think the dialogue is pretty good in this one. The game has crashed on me a few times and I've seen some minor graphical bugs here and there, but overall it's an awesome game.

Yes, it's a very good game. I've been fortunate to only crash once in 15 hours of gameplay so far, and only a few graphical glitches, so none of that buginess has hampered my experience with the game. I only mildly enjoyed Fallout 3, but I think I am starting to love this game. Also, hardcore mode is the way to go!

 I also enjoy this game. It's quite good.

Looking at the map I must have only covered 20%i think. I haven't even got to Vegas yet and its takien 50hours - its just pure joy. I guess i'm lucky with the lack of problems - I think installing to the HD is the way to go. 
It is also really impressive the way there is an interesting story in every location - anyone been to Vault 11 yet -  hilarious.

I think this may be a case where people are so expectant of a high quality game or get used to the high quality components of the game when playing it, the issues with it stand out all the more, at least that's my theory on what's caused the forum uproars over New Vegas. While I think the bugginess of the game is a legitimate criticism and raises some important questions about quality control, overall New Vegas sounds like a great game.

I think the moaning about this game is more due to the problems than the game itself. 
 
I have just platinumed this and spent well over 60 hours doing so. I'm not done playing but the constant bugs really wear on me. I am currently typing this while waiting for the game to boot back up after yet another freeze. I stopped counting at 30. Jeff's review seemed right on when he mentioned it gets worse the longer you play. Bugs aside, my only real complaint with this game is the huge amount of quests that require you to go to objective, go back to quest giver, repeat 10 times. This combined with the amount of loading points needlessly slows down the game.  But you're correct OP this game is still awesome. 

Think I'm about 25 hours in, haven't done alot of quests, been experimenting with mods alot and just exploring the world and picking up quests
 
EDIT: To clarify, I meant PC mods

Vault 11 was awesome. I was genuinely excited when I sat down on that chair, I had no idea what would happen next. 
 
I love this game, it's everything Fallout 3 was and more!
 
I did make it through my first 15 hour hardcore playthrough without any crashes, which was nice. I hope they'll keep patching it because I don't enjoy the random crashes and bugs I now experience from time to time =(

I have the PC version, but haven't touched it yet. 
 
 
If the game is as good as it is without any community content, then it's going to be mindblowing with community patches and mods.

" the only real issues i have are ATI ones.. grey screens of death some times. But whatever.. "

" @Venatio How do mod weapons? I have crafted but moding weapons I have yet to do... "

Also echoing vault 11 that pushed New vegas to Goty for myself. Once you go down that hall and sit down on that chair , I started to freak out a bit. Now that's good video gaming.

ahhhh! these addictive comments I see here remind me of my grand addiction as well when I was playing Fallout 2 back in 1998. Sadly New Vegas has not yet released for the PC in my country yet for some reason since thats the version I plan to get and not for my PS3. Good to see that the guys in Obsidian still retained their writing skills, and maintained the spirit that made the Fallout franchise such a great game. Can't wait to get my hands on this. :D
