The look of the game is FPS. Don't care if it is rpg or action game - it is First Person Shooter Look, thus an FPS in that sense.
All the review and playthrough videos on the net shows NV's fights last 5-10 seconds, the enemy being melee rnage after the third second. End of story. Gimme a minigun or forget it. Also the aim happens as far as it was shown in real time eaxtly like FPS: if you aim right on the thing you'll hit it, if not you're screwed, and the fastness of the creatures is like Quake what I hated.
I don't care how you can sort your equipment. If there is a carrying capacity, then the items (as this is a fuckin' game where you can sell literally everything at all shops, start from scretch, buying things are very expensive) must come in reasonable volume.
Take the other fallouts (1,2,T), or the Diablo series: all things can be stored and sold the best time without problem, and have reasonably good price, and you know their value just by looking at them.
In Fallout NV you get zounds of items, no idea on the use of them, and crap on values.

Why would you take them all? You don't carry around 16 leather armors, 8 guns and 2000 rounds of ammunition do you? Diablo is a loot fest action rpg, your comparison is flawed. Just because you can be a cleptomaniac in any Beth game doesn't mean you have to be. And why would a piece of 3-day-old meat have a price tag on it after you rob it off the body of a scavenger? Not to mention that store prices adjust to your appraisal skill (as they should). Want lower prices? Jack up appraisal or merchant or whatever. Also the game does not endorse hoarding. You use armor and weapons you find that are identical to repair your own, because shop repairs are expensive.
And fights.. if the enemy has a baseball bat, what should it do? Sit at rifle range for you to kill and not attack back? Ranged enemies don't get close, they shoot at you from optimal range. Yes there is an iron sight and yes you can use the normal aiming if you run out of action points, but as mentioned, accurancy is still based on skill. And every friggin time you press 'v' you enter V.A.T.S. where time stops, and you can target bodyparts just like in the old Fallouts. After that, time resumes.
Also I just noticed.. what do you mean from the videos you've seen? You wrote a "review" without playing the game at all?
