Imo New Vegas is neat but it’s just too dated for my tastes, especially with no mods. It’d might as well be a point and click shooter with how slow the player crawls back and forth and how the guns don’t even feel like guns
zoomer take, just because it's dated doesn't mean that it didn't do all of the things starfield does but a long time ago. the point we're making is that the fact that the only thing starfield has going for it is that it's more recent is really telling
to an extent I can understand that if you're just approaching it from the modern gameplay experience perspective but to say that the game is too dated is a bit ignorant because it was basically revolutionary in the gaming industry at the time. Obviously games that come out after and improve the experience even more are going to "feel" better.
If you want to get that modern experience out of the older fallout games you could mod them I guess, but they had a lot of charm during they hay day
I’d love to mod them but they don’t have official support. Once I finish paying for college, a high end PC is on my list so that I can experience Bethesda’s older titles in all their glory though
I’ve seen mods for NV and such that actually makes it look more modern or enjoyable, so I’m looking forward to finally getting to the story without the older gameplay
And also- I’m not trying to say the games are bad, my point was that although they were revolutionary, you can’t exactly just say “Stop playing Starfield and just hop on NV” simply because of how different and aged the game is.
Ironically though, I appreciated the slight amount of mature themes that’s only present in older RPG’s like NV. Stuff like the hookers sitting around at the strip or Benny hitting on me really makes it feel like a bit more of a lived in post apoc city with real people as opposed to Starfield’s more sterile, flawed utopia vibe with zero feminine outfits and not even having a perk that specifically targets the opposite sex, like in every Fallout game.

Starfield > New Vegas us probably the most braindead take i've ever seen on this sub.
Starfield doesn't do anything better than New Vegas. Hell, Starfield barely does anything better than FO4.
