Fallout: New Vegas Preview

Category: News ArchiveHits: 1996
I didn't get to see a chance of the famous Vegas Strip, but I did get a chance to run around the eerily accurate Mojave Desert. The one thing I will point out is that the world is enormous I probably was able to only see about an eighth of the world and I spent a good hour playing the game. My exploitations led me to a few firefights and here I used the games new crosshair shooting mode. The new viewing mode was needless to say not helpful, for me at least. Unless you're using a sniper rifle the rifles do not do enough damage for the crosshairs to aid you at all times. I started using the cowboy repeater and using the new updated VATS system. There is not much new to the actual system so why they call it new is weird to me. The animations for the VATS are still as gory as ever so no need to worry about that.
The raiders were shooting from everywhere and they were killing me fast, I had to do something. That's when I opened up the new menu and scrolled over to take a stimpack. While I was in the menu I thought I would just scroll around the weapons and armor section for a bit and that is when I fell in love with a weapon that was revealed to me in two simple words: Grenade Machinegun. I had to whip it out and teach those raiders who's boss!
