Significantly worse than 3 or 4. How it's regarded as a masterpiece is beyond me. Uglier than 3 with worse controls. The locations feel dead, for an example megaton in 3 is a busier place than new vegas and has more atmosphere . Beyond the first task of getting the chip back and getting your revenge on benny the story offers you zero motivation for any of the things it wants you do after that. I got ceaser asking for help when at that point I've had no interaction with anyone from his faction, NCR same barely seen or heard them so "no" not helping you either. So keep the chip and take over or give it back to its owner (which is the mission to start with, why get it back if not intending to deliver it?) So give the chip back, then he wants more help but you're never given any real motivation as to why you would do this or even care about new vegas or what happens to it. So no house you can sort your own shit out. I'll turn off and play a good game thsnks. I've tried to get past this point several times and each time it's just nothing but apathy to the story, the people, the location. How people praise this games writing and story is an absolute mystery, they both fail to engage and provide motivation for what comes next. Also playing high luck practically breaks the game the second you walk into a casino you just win and win and win. Exploring is basically a waste of time and the game discourages you from doing it.

Wonderful skill game. The level of control you have over the bike with 3 buttons and a stick is incredible and gives the player practically endless possibilities, given the unbelievable number of different routes down each trail. People will get ridiculously good at this game and always feel like they can still get better. Crucially for a game like this every time I crash, you will crash a lot especially early on, it feels like it's my fault. I did it wrong, I went to fast or turned to hard. The game has never done it with bad collision detection or similar issues. It always feels fair. The first few minutes will frustrate but once the controls click with you you'll be fall in love pretty quickly. As far as I'm concerned it's a game without flaws. Perfect.
