:ugh: Don't feed the troll
OT: can someone explain what so fun about the VATS system ? From the videos I seen it looks like OP insta win feature, you just pause your game to clear any enemy that might cause trouble.
(I haven't played any Fallout game yet, I'm just not a fan of Sci-Fi games.. I tried to play FA:New Vegas, but I couldn't handle the graphics, so I gave up.)
basically, the VATS system is a sort of a light "fighting system per turn", you have a number of AP (ability points), that allow you to do a certain amount of actions (shooting, throwing a grenade...etc) and targetting specific parts of the enemy's body '(head, hand,...etc)
now regarding new vegas, i know the graphics are far from being stellar, but it's really an excellent game, it just takes time to get used to it.
furthermore, there are graphics mods that overhaul the visuals and improove them tromendously (way better textures, better character models, lightning system tweaks...etc).
it's probably the best fallout in years since Fallout 2, in terms of deph, choices and consequences and very detailled world states. plus it barely cost anything now, so get it. you won't regret it.
