|The most overrated game of all time|

Without mods it is unplayable with a literal orange colour filter over the whole game it looks disgusting.

inputs are clunky which are very annoying but meh its an old game.

I have experienced allot of bugs and lots of little annoyances especially with the audio whenever it plays some background music or I use the radio the audio jitters and crackles every ~250ms, that itself makes it hard to play (I have tried everything to fix this).

The movement in the game is extremely slow I even have a perk for movement speed when crouching and even when I was 2x faster crouching than I was running it still felt like I was barely moving or maybe it is just because the desert is so vast, having a game based in a desert is a terrible idea, in most open world games you have cool scenery to look at whilst travelling or the locations are not that far away from each other, in New Vegas you have A LITERAL DESERT??? it is painful to travel anywhere in this game because it will take 10 minutes of STARING AT SAND for you to get there it is MIND-NUMBING its worse than watching paint dry, I would rather watch paint dry.

The Story starts off good with a revenge based intro to the game where you get shot in the head its not as strong as Fallout 4s having your wife killed in front of you and your child kidnaped after meeting them and building a background on yourself and your family New Vegas does not build a background on you apart from that you are a courier the rest is for you to decide but its still an alright hook, the start of the game is alright but as you progress to Benny it turns out its not the end game goal that you think it is and there is no build up at all then its just sort of a meaningless moment and it pushes you onto another story line which is barely connected to Benny and which I have no idea about because I didn't research for 10 hours about the background lore of all 500 factions, its like starting a whole new game, absolutely terrible storyline it would have been 10x better if they just made it end at Benny or just removed Benny all together and made you start as a member of the NCR or something, and it gets to a point where there is too much dialogue and too many choices and quests and information to the point that it just gets boring and there is no gameplay and you are just fast traveling about and talking to people especially once you get to the strip and the robot gives you like 10 quests it just gets to the point where it is annoying to play, or throughout the game characters will just talk about absolute garbage that I could not care less about its like each character wants to tell you their whole life story when you ask them a simple question I COULD NOT CARE LESS IM TRYING TO KILL BENNY, allot of it can be shown through environmental storytelling but instead they create a dialogue slop just packing as much information they can into it, its like reading a book its just boring I'm trying to play a game, you might as well play a visual novel with the amount of dialogue in this game or just remove the gameplay all together. In short Dialogue hell, bad main story.

With all of these issues stacked up at a certain point I just wanted the game to end but it kept dragging on to the point where I had to quit.
