I like this game but it is so buggy and has lead to so many rage quits. First off the good bits. It looks good, plays nicely, good story, lots of stuff to do, is somehow not boring to wander around a desert.

Now we get onto the problems with the game. Firstly it's buggy. I saw a dog wandering around. Not too bad, except it was 2 metres in the air! I've also seen an enemy fly into a rock and get trapped inside. In fact I also got trapped inside a rock and had to fast travel out. I've also had buttons stop working so I couldn't shoot at all, and it wasn't the weapon jamming.

The next problem is that it pretends to be an open sandbox world when it it's lying. It was bad enough when the change from Morrowind to Oblivion left cities as seperate worlds when there was no real need for that but New Vegas keeps that and goes even further. New Vegas has weird builders who apparently specialise in invisible walls. You can climb a cliff to a certain point and then suddenly you are blocked by an invisible force that prevents you going higher. If a fence is blocking your way and you try jump over it you find that it extends infinitely skywards! It's just ridiculous. Don't lie to me about the world being open and then doing cheap tricks like that.

Finally there is a balance issue with the strength of enemies. Some of them are over powered! Nightkin are killers and use pieces of rubble as weapons but you expect that since they're huge (The fact that they are invisible is a bit much but they aren't impossible to kill). Worse are the Cazadores, little flies that can kill you with just two or three hits. Shooting them is hard enough because they are small targets, unreasonably fast and dart in all random directions. I try to shoot off their wings and find they are apparently made of plates of some bullet resistant substance. Even when I do blow their wings off I still die because they travel in groups of three! They are not a fair enemy.

Havign a real love/hate relationship with that game right now.
