How did a video game with complete shit gameplay end up becoming so highly regarded among the gaming communities?

Do any of you guys ever get tired of having the same arguments over and over with people who are likely either arguing in bad faith to begin with or so vitriolic and set on their position that they'll never concede any point to you regardless of what you say?

No because it is 6 million times better then any normalfag npc gathering zone with one sided excessive tranny jannys & bots steering the convo or astroturfing whatever current thing zog shat out

think you got enough buzzwords in there

This. It's an RPG first and a shooter, second. Unlike Bethesda Fallouts.

This.
You'll get a a brain tumor and suffer, fucktard.

>It's an RPG first and a shooter
There has to be something more to it. The choices and effect you had on the game just had more weight to it than any other rpg i've ever played.

The faction system had more depth than most RPGs, especially with respect to the Legion-NCR conflict. By the time you've reached Vegas, you've probably either helped the NCR out everywhere or allied with the Legion.

Seethe more retard you got the answer to your question

WRPGs aren't supposed to have good gameplay. The exception are japanese WRPGs like Fromsoft's games because they don't understand how WRPGs are made.

That's just not true. Almost no decision the player makes has any significant impact on anything in NV. You make lots of decisions which should matter, e.g. deciding who becomes sheriff of Primm, where does the power go from the power station, etc., etc. and they tell you that matters but then there's no actual noticeable changes to the world from any of this shit. And, as is so often noted, when you finish the main quest of Fallout 4 the game keeps going and whichever faction has won as a significantly increased presence in the game while the others are either diminished or gone completely. When you finish the main quest of NV the credits roll and the game is over. There is no weight to almost all decisions the player makes in NV and claims to the contrarian are complete horseshit.

That is the distinction between a bad RPG maker like Obsidian and a good RPG making like Bethesda. Obsidians just tells and never shows. Bethesda shows more than it tells and then idiots just make up decisions have no impact in Bethesda's games. Even just simple things that result from decisions the player makes in Bethesda's Fallout games like people you screw over coming after you for revenge or a relative of someone who died running into the player and asking if they've seen them already put Bethesda leaps and bounds ahead of Transidion.

interactive fully open world, lack of almoust any railroading and faction system
In other games you only decide how you go, but in new vegas you also have alot of choice in "Where" and "When"

Alchestbreach

do you actually belive this, pajeet?

Believe? I fucking KNOW it because I've actually played the games. Name one fucking decision apart from the final decisions of the main quest that has ANY fucking impact on the game beyond Mr. New Vegas on the radio saying a different line.
