All these so called journos are whining. One won't stop bitching about the loadscreens, another is hung-up on npc navigation, yet another complaining about the pipboy being the same model, and how the compass doesn't tell you explicitly where to go every inch of the way, as if it wasn't already holding their hand in the first place. I'm telling you, these same jokers who were handing out endless 10's and to fo3 just two years ago, are already lining up to tear new vegas down for the all the shortcomings they gave a free pass on.
I guess they just aren't getting enough ad revenue/blood/virgins this time, since this one is getting a smaller push.
