"It took about 5 years" for Fallout: New Vegas to win over fans, former lead says, and "a few years more" for the devs to believe they "actually liked the design choices we had made"

Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas lead Josh Sawyer says fans took a while to come around on the RPG, despite its current status as one of the best games in the series.

Speaking to Game Informer, Sawyer acknowledges, "New Vegas was not particularly well-received when it launched. It was quite buggy and both players and critics commented on how much we had reused from Fallout 3." In fact, New Vegas still currently sits at a score of 84 on Metacritic – lower than all of the other mainline entries, with Fallout 3 sitting 9 points ahead, at 93.
