Fallout: New Vegas is one of my favorite, if not my number one favorite, game of the last generation. There's a lot I love about the game, from the writing to the quest design, to the narrative freedom you're given. Unfortunately, its "game feel" is horrid. I hate the way movement and engaging the world comes together -- every animation feels stilted and off, the movement speed doesn't match up right with the animation or even the sound effects very well and aiming/shooting itself is such a chore as to be a pain in of itself. As much as I love NV, I love it in spite of the engine it was borne on. For this reason, I can't go back to Fallout 3. Its content does not justify playing something that has such a high barrier to enjoyment and flow.
I really need to search for a mod that tunes up the way the game plays in the movement and aiming department. Anyone hear of such a thing?
All that aside, I'm frothing at that mouth to try Splatoon. I just need to get the game. And a Wii U. And Bayonetta 2.
