Fallout New Vegas

Ok so i do'nt own nor have i played Fallout New Vegas yet, so i cant be too critical. But today i was watching a friend of mine play and it seemed to have some serious drawbacks. One of the biggest things i noticed was that the loading screens took at least five minutes to load. Every time he would walk into a store or building it would literally take 5-6 minutes to load. Maybe i'm exaggerating a little but that's certainly what it felt like. Another draw back are the graphics, i know that that's how fallout is supposed to look and that the world of Fallout: New Vegas is supposed to be huge but in making that huge world they had to do some serious cut backs on the aesthetics of the game to make room for that giant world. Ive also read a few reviews and most say that the game isnt without its bugs either. I cant say much about the gameplay but these are just a few of the drawbacks i saw.
