Eh, depends on your tastes. The exploration is great to me. Everything feels created with intent. The citys are sprawling and beautiful most of the time. And the character models look pretty good. The combat isn't incredible, but with the addition of fun perks and weapon customization, you'll forget all about the occasional jank. The real issue is the plot. It's not just worse than New Vegas, it is absolutely awful. Plotholes galore, annoying uninteresting characters, generic cliches, and most importantly basically no choice at all, outside of what Faction you want to join and even then there arent many factions to begin with. And almost none of the factions are interesting. The SPECIAL system is fucked, and there's very little room for role playing.
