    A good followup to Fallout 3, developed by Obsidian (not Bethesda) using the Fallout 3 engine. Feels just like Fallout 3 but with some new weapons/items/characters and in a new environment.

Feels just like Fallout 3 but with some new weapons/items/characters and in a new environment. The game was quite buggy (good thing I saved independent save states almost constantly), but for the most part I enjoyed the gameplay and the story. That being the said, the ending left me feeling disappointed and unsatisfied. Fallout 3 had a great ending directly influenced by player choice. Fallout NV had a zillion different ending options, which is a great concept revived from the original Fallout games, however NONE of the endings are fully satisfying for a player who truly wants to be a hero of the wastes. I did everything I could to have positive karma and to choose the most morally upright option, but every major quest path at the end of the game requires you to commit an act or two which gives you negative karma and leaves you feeling like your hands are dirty. There's a reason folks like stories with happy endings where good triumphs over evil. I'm disappointed that there was no undeniably "good" quest path option for the character to take. There's merely a variety of greater and lesser evils, different shades of grey from which the player must choose to aid. I chose the least of the evils, and felt slimed at my pathetic ending as the narration reminded me that the least evil option was still evil enough to ruin the fate of a couple of factions. I was merely a pawn thrown into the immovable cog that is the Mojave's depressing fate. I enjoyed the gameplay and the journey to the end, but was ultimately disappointed by the ending.… Expand

    This Game is Good Don't Get Me Wrong, But I Just Think That This One So Far Is The Worst, Like The World And It's Side Quests But The Main Story is Hard And Complicated.

    One of the best games I have played in my life, a very good story, a large number and variety of missions, weapons, characters, dialogues and the almost infinite possibility to do whatever you want

    Negatives-Horrible glitches,graphics are too faded,most of NPCs just walking around or sit,most of things are unexplained so that many people miss dialogues and chooses in gameplay,last battle is not epic as its should be,I know the FO series is mainly walk game but no driveable vehicles is just dissapointing because you see many of them even bikes parked close to tavern in first city and just walking dont fit mood,some factions dont even leave the location where is their HQ,some chooses dont affect gameplay nor the story and some factions are poorly written,only 30 skill levels,corridor like walking because highly dangerous enemies are everywhere and in high numbers,characters are like they exist and they goes and like some mentioned the guns feels outdated.
    Things depends highly on your opinion are main story and Wild West like mood. Both feels more like more like gangster Tarantino movie than a Fallout world but I dont count this into my points. Some good hours I have with this but nah its not great game. Not by a story and not by a open world terms.    … Expand

    A truly great game by Obsidian, which was taken im a different direction than Fallout 3. It brings more options for factions, which was a refreshing change. However, while it brings enhanced gameplay, the exploration and atmosphere don't quite match that of Fallout 3.

    The problem with New Vegas is that It's so buggy. Too buggy to be a finished product. Also the fighting mechanics make the game pretty slow paced at times - shooting someone right in the noggin with a hunting rifle should floor em.

    Without mods, this game would be terrible. It should only be DLC, not a full game as they try to push it off as. Bethesda is like the rest of the gaming industry - lazy and rushing half - finished games out the door and then wondering why their sales are so lackluster.

One addition I like is the factions system, but its horribly balanced in that choosing one factions gives ALOT of quests and stuff to do, choosing the other has like 5 quests and nothing else, so for the sake of FUN you choose the one faction.

Each of the primary factions are omnipresent, hanging on your(and only your) every move. The game derailed for me early on when none of the factions really seemed to have any idea what they wanted, excepting the violent and corrupt Caesar. Each of the main factions had ulterior motives, corruption unending, and spies in every corner, watching your every move. I finally had to uninstall when accepting(but not completing, or making any moves regarding) the quest with Yes Man caused all of Caesar's troops to go KOS to me. The game essentially forces you to choose almost unerringly choose a side, and none of the sides were particularly appealing. Additionally, none of the side quests were particularly appealing or rewarding. On the technical side, numerous glitches forced me to neurotically keep a bank of saves throughout the game. An early one caused me to restart, as I was glitched into a piece of terrain with no option for fast travel. An act as simple as opening a door would turn an entire faction KOS to me(though I suspect this may be working "as intended", I am optimistically listing it as a bug). I only had a few handfuls of crashing issues, but they were at critical moments, ofttimes. I was really prepared to give Obsidian the benefit of the doubt, after what they did with KotOR 2, but they have disappointed once again.

I could go on and on and on with this but let me break it down for you, when I first bought Fallout 3, I played it for well over 100's of hours in total and was never bored of it. With New Vegas, I played it for about one week and was bored of it. The designers of the game obviously didn't care at all about the game or the buyers of the game because they know that the fanboys with just eat it up and not give a **** about its flaws.

Even with heavy fixing (mods, patches, bugfixes to "fix" the crashing and freezing, looping issues) it still randomly crashes every half hour or so. Its really irritating.

    Things I've done to help fix some bugs:
    -Applied NVAC - New Vegas Anti Crash fix
    -Applied YUP (Yukichigai Unofficial Patch)
    -Turned off all autosave functions
    -Ran game as Admin (Win7)

    After doing all above, the game STILL constantly freezes, loops and crashes randomly.

    Load a save file directly from the "Load Game" in Main menu causes it to loop the loading screen indefinitely. The solution to it is to start a New game then load a save file from there.

    New Vegas is really fun, Trust me, but the stability issues are so severe and its keeping me from loving the game.

    Ambitious ideas with flaws in gameplay.

    Fallout is known for its open world, and massive branching story arcs. New Vegas is no different. The landscape is quite massive. Dialogue options are plentiful. The amount of perks and abilities is staggering. The amount of things you can loot and acquire is overwhelming. All these should point to a very deep and rich game experience, but there are problems.

    With so much information, there needs to be a way for it to be organized in a way that doesn't make it a jumbled mess. And that's exactly where New Vegas falls short. After I progressed a good few hours into the game, my bag was full of goodies and random stuff. The weapon section alone was a jumbled mess. The chaotic amount of ammo and weapons are all mixed in the same category, making browsing to the weapon I want a very difficult task. There are no shortcuts whatsoever. Having to pull p the pip boy every 20 seconds breaks the pace of the game way too much. This adds onto the numerous times you need to pull it up to see quest objectives, and double check marker location, cause besides a marker on the main screen, there's absolutely no indication of how far away you are from the destination.

    There were times when I wasn't sure if I should be approaching a certain area because there may be too many enemies, enemies who are way higher level than me, or random proximity mines on the ground. These all cause cheap deaths, which break the pace of the game. For this very reason, I found myself having to quick save constantly, which in itself was annoying.

    There's no explanation for a lot of the effects that happen to you throughout the game. I'm getting radiation...ok, so what? What does radiation do to me? Oh, I'm losing good karma...ok, how does karma affect me? So many questions, but no answers, until I google it.

    The game gives you all these perk choices at the very start of the game, but you have no idea what you need. How much charisma do I need? Will there be a lot of dialogue choices which takes advantage of that? How important is combat? Will there be situations which screw me over because I assigned only 1 point to strength? How important is perception? Will there be a lot of enemies in the hub world that I can't get past unless I have some perception? You have to guess all these things before you even set foot out the door. The most logical choice is to assign the points evenly, cause you no knowledge whatsoever of what to expect. You start to get an idea of what to expect after getting out of the first town, but you perks are already locked in at this point. Oops, you want to be a charismatic person and pass speech checks, but you only assigned 3 to speech? Too bad, slowly grind your way there.

    Not knowing what was a main quest and what was a side quest was really annoying as well. I want to know who shot me in the f***ing head, but I could be following false leads because this guy promised me information, if I help him get this guy, but the guy I'm trying to get will tell me, if I help him with this. It's just quest-ception, on and on. But the final part of that mission, might not give me what I want to know, case the entire branch was a side quest. By the end of it, I'm scared to take on another mission, cause it might be a quest-ception of side quests. After 3 long branches of side quests, I'm so drained, I don't even care about who shot me in the head anymore, and just want to stop playing, or want the credits to roll.

    I do love the freedom, and the story branches the game offers. It's truly remarkable how many ways you can play through this game. But all that is largely hindered by the lack of knowledge, and organization. Overall, the experience felt like a jumbled mess for the most part, but when things worked, it was amazing...which unfortunately was far and few in between.    … Expand

Так это ещё пол беды: ограничение fps, постоянные фризы и никуда без вылетов каждые 20 минут игры.

    Но я всё же дал шанс игре, может даже эти ограничения показались бы мне мелочью, если игра действительно хорошая. Но всё напрасно: наиграл я 35 часов с постоянными вылетами и исчезаниями текстур и забросил игру, так и не пройдя. Позже, через два года, я решил дать New Vegas ещё один шанс. Покапавшись в общем часов 6 или даже больше, я попробовал исправить техническую сторону игры: установил моды на текстуры окружения, оружия, расширенный интерфейс, мод на бег, кучу патчей. И, наконец, с кучей патчей игра практически перестала вылетать и фризить.

    Так теперь о самой игре: я, честно, не знаю чем здесь, собственно, выделяются квесты от четвёрки, да у меня чуть ли не в десять раз больше вариантов развития диалога, но, во-первых, эти бесконечные диалоги утомляют, что под конец игры хотелость начать их скипать, а, во-вторых, это не отменяет типичные "принеси-подай-убей-иди н@хýi-не мешай" квесты, коих в обеих играх предостаточно, только отличие в том, что в четвёрке все удобно и интуитивно понятно. Отсутствует какое-либо описание задания, что в четвёртой части присутствует даже с небольшой анимацией, мелочь, а приятно. Те же навыки special в четвёртой части все наглядно помещены в удобную таблицу: всё стоит там, где надо; а не как в Нью Вегасе - всё в один столбик. Силовая броня не имеет никаких преимуществ от обычной, в отличие от четвёрки, где значительно увеличивается порог урона персонажа, сопротивление радиации, скорость перемещения, переносимый вес, добавляется налобный фонарь, и падения с высоты не наносят урона. А что там в Нью Вегасе: обычная броня, которая одевается как обычные тряпки, никаких преимуществ, и даже на 50 уровне в силовой броне с максимальной прокачкой способности "стойкость", с полным здоровьем, на нормальном уровне сложности меня коготь смерти с двух ударов выносит. Система прокачки оружия, брони, силовой брони, даже строительство присутствует в Fallout 4, что сильно разнообразит игру. А что там в New Vegas: присутствует только модернизация оружия, только с помощью найденных или купленных за огромные суммы модификаций(по 5-20 тысяч крышек за одну на 100 уровня бартера!).

    Из плюсов New Vegas могу отметить огромный перечень вариантов развития диалога на любителя, и возможность убить кого угодно. С учётом DLC, которые заметно лучше и интереснее основной игры, я ставлю 5/10.    … Expand

I always thought it would be fun to have a 1st person perspective while playing Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics, but Bethesda simply does a poor job of it.

I always thought it would be fun to have a 1st person perspective while playing Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics, but Bethesda simply does a poor job of it. New Vegas was rushed to market before it was ready much like Fallout 3. Wait for the bargain bin on this one.

    Positives: Obsidian does a MUCH better job of writing story lines and quests than Bethesda did. Good voice acting. New environment and (slight) movement forward in terms of the Fallout canon. Negatives: Its still Oblivion (LOLblivion) with guns. As others have posted, you think they would've improved the game engine and graphics by now! The VATS system makes the game laughably easy and you can kite any enemy in the game. If you play the game without VATS, the NPCs dodge and weave like a weasel on crack all while maintaining pinpoint accuracy. Although the stories for each quest is better, the execution is still murky at best as one wrong dialogue choice cuts off entire quests. Certain quests are only offered under poorly designed circumstances with NPCs not reacting to successful completions or acting as if you DIDN"T just save their whole city from bad guys. Final analysis: Rushed out to market before true completion in a manner typical of Bethesda. This is essentially DLC for Fallout 3 that they tried (and failed) to pass off as a stand alone game. Although the fan boys, "independent reviewers" and paid Bethesda employees will seek to skew these rating sites, the proof is in the lackluster sales and general negative, poor opinion of Bethesda.    … Expand

    I loved fallout 3, but new vegas just seems old, dated, slow and boring. It is pretty much the same game just worse, or maybes fallout 3 wasn't really that good after all and when i was playing it i had nothing better to do. I don't know, all I know is this game is boring, I played it for a week then had no desire to play again. Such a shame.

    The Nexus is thankfully filled with a LOT of helpful people, who not only improve the visuals (with mods such as Fellout, and one that gives streetlights light!). Another good mod is Real Time Settler, although it is buggy at the moment, this was a great mod for FO3 that let you create your own little village which you had to be with CONSTANTLY otherwise it would fail!.

    It felt very dated, and there were too many immersion breaking flaws and bugs. In terms of graphics, level design, and animations, this feels like a game from 2005 (to a lesser extent also true for TES:Oblivion, but it certainly bothered me less there).
    The main quest offers good freedom of choice, but otherwise quests are mostly quantity over quality – a hallmark of Bethesda. Some of the characters were entertaining though, and voice acting is fairly good. Character leveling and perks are also quite well done.
    The interface looks cool but is a total pain to use. There are no keyboard hotkeys, which means switching weapons or healing requires browsing through the full menu each time!
    Combat feels unbalanced (Oblivion and Skyrim were slightly better here) ranging from ok to frustratingly tedious or difficult. The difficulty of various foes often does not match with the expectations the game lore may give you. Enemies run around without any movement inertia making them frustratingly difficult to aim at. Hitbox detection is not great, and your bullets are often blocked by invisible walls if they pass near geometry. I also had lots of enemies get stuck behind geometry, with only legs clipping through the wall. Worst of all, at one point, my gun would not fire bullets – I would hear and see the gun fire, and the ammo counter would work, but no bullets – I got eaten alive, both ingame and in terms of frustration.
    The mod experience was bad: I could not get most mods to work despite following all instructions etc. The mod scene may be vibrant, but it is still a total mess. It lacks curatorial refinement and there are no “1-click install” total-overhaul supermods (like the “complete” mod series for the Stalker games).

    Buried underneath all the flaws is a good game, and you might find it, but I gave up after days of digging.    … Expand

They can see that this is the shell of a great game. But that is the big problem. It’s just a shell, hollow inside when you look inside.

    New Vegas is a complete developmental screwup. Everything that is important to the primary/important content, the factions and New Vegas and the plot, was stupidly deprioritized in favor of stuffing the game with frivolous irrelevant sidequests. It’s hard to process just how bad the content prioritization and presentation is. The making of easily cut content like the Boomers, Thorn, Jacobstown, rocket ghouls, etc, came at the cost of desperately needed faction quests and fleshing out. The entire main questline is padded with these sidequests to stretch it out, only ending up emphasizing how little you connect or get involved with the character and the factions. The Faction “system” is really just deciding which questgiver you want to receive your nearly identical selection of mandatory sidequests from. The reputation system is basically pointless, rarely amounting to anything other then NPC banter.

    People claim the writing is great, I found it dull and uninspired. The dialogue options are bland and soulless, clearly designed for a blank slate character and not one with actual personality. NPC quality varys greatly but tend to suffer from directionless voice acting. I’ve heard characters talk about their squadmates being raped in the same tone they use to complain about patrolling the Mojave. Not even kidding. The writing in the DLCs is pretty weak to boot, with Old World Blues actually being surprisingly involving and funny to boot while Lonesome Road may have the most incompetent, full of crap, and definitionally pretentious writing I’ve even seen in a RPG, outside of a Mass Effect sequel. Pains me to think one of Planescape:Torment’s writers was involved in that dreck.

    The world map is awfully designed, offering no incentive to explore what is ultimately a linear doughnut dotted with invisible walls, uninteresting and unrewarding locations, NO random encounters, and amateurly placed blatant progression Many things that worked fine in the previous game, like the radio and VATS, were and still are broken and glitchy. While I liked how there were more skill/stat checks, most of the other added features like ammo types (which were bugged at launch. Pretty sure they were bugged in the first two Fallouts too. How do you not learn how to program that in twenty years?) are easily forgotten. And I don’t think I need to bring out how buggy it is. Suffice to say the public had made it clear that it is utter unacceptable to ship a game with this amount of game-breaking and save-wiping glitches.

    The sad thing is that it’s clear that this game could have been good, even great, if it had been developed properly. And it’s even sadder that people feel the need to overrate it based on the standard of games this developer made twenty years ago, or worse based on what the game COULD have been like rather then what it IS. It doesn’t hold up to other RPGs. It doesn’t even hold up to other Obsidian games. New Vegas is, sadly, a weak unfulfilling game and a weak unfulfilling RPG.    … Expand

    But somehow Fallout new Vegas managed to feel so dry and empty like beeing stranded in a desert. You will encounter so few gunfights, that you'll wish you could just raid camps and all the enemy stations.
    But you can't.
    I was asking myself all the time:
    "Why the hell am I scavenging all that ammunition and bottlecaps when there are so few enemies you can pump full of led?"

    After 10 hours of time-consuming navigation I caught myself trying to rush through the story, only for the hope of some big scale battles. But after at least 25 Hours arriving and leaving Vegas I gave up.

    Prepare to spent more time walking, and walking and walking instead of meeting interesting places or people.

    Don't get me wrong: You CAN find at least 3 interesting places. They will suck you in with a dark and spooky atmosphere. I won't spoil it, but New Vegas isn't one of them.
    Neither is it a surprise you'll arrive there nor is it a really spectacular place.
    Most People there will tell you some generic gibberish and the quests in there are so ... meaningless.

    Most of the Quests are annoying chores that let you scout empty places for hours only to find out that at least one skill is insufficient to complete it (mostly your speech-skill!).

    Then there are so many illogical design-flaws that pop up randomly and destroy all imersion.
    -Many doors that are just painted textures and can't be opened.
    -The flaw in stealing from bad guys (why does the game randomly punish my karma when I rob the psycho bad guys?!).
    - you meet some high-ranked guys for the faction you work, but they don't have any quest to give you!
    - You don't have any impact on the lazy written "War" of the different factions!
    Noone will say any word to you beside their random gibberish!
    - doors and gates that are closed until you progress the main"story", or more: Keep yourself squeezing the path the game has chosen for you.

    This game only left wasted 40 hours and a sore forehead from all the facepalming.

    This may be an overused sentence in rating games, but this feels really like an overpriced DLC or even mod for Fallout 3.
    Don't buy it and wait for Fallout 4!    … Expand

    Bugs en las misiones que impiden continuarlas, bugs que te atascan contra el escenario, bugs en el VATS, bugs en las físicas... la lista no tiene fin.

    El menú se controla como si estuvieras borracho, gracias a la maravillosa aceleración del ratón que el juego te fuerza a adoptar, y que solo se puede desactivar con mods o peleándose directamente con los .ini en la carpeta del juego.

    Aparto la vista de todas esas cosas, y me encuentro con un juego que me presenta decisiones morales que podrían ser interesantes, pero que no me aporta ninguna información, y pretende que me decante por una opción o por la otra prácticamente a ciegas.
    Además, parece que los líderes de todas las facciones del juego son gilipollas, con lo que nunca podré estar enteramente de parte de una u otra, simplemente escogeré quién me parece menos subnormal y le ayudaré a él.

    Busco ayuda sobre una misión bugeada y resulta que esa misión puede bugearse de varias formas distintas, así que simplemente buscar en google "Fallout New Vegas [Nombre_misión] bug" no es suficiente para encontrar lo que busco, ya que me encontraré con sabe dios cuántos posibles bugs. Además, la presencia de bugs es algo tan aceptado en la comunidad que parece ser recomendable ponerse a meter comandos por consola para cambiar la posición de un NPC o el comportamiento del mismo hacia el jugador.

    Me niego a bajar mods, cambiar archivos del juego, meter comandos ingame en consola que pueden estropear todavía más el juego y a hacer todas esas ♥♥♥♥♥♥s para jugar a un juego que no destaca ni en lo jugable ni en lo argumental. Esto es un completo estropicio, esperé 6 años para a ver si lo terminaban y aún así la presentación del juego es propia de una beta.

    Y lo he cogido con buena cara, creedme, un youtuber que parecía entender los fallos del Fallout 3 me recomendó darle una oportunidad a esta entrega, y efectivamente parece que ha corregido ciertos errores, pero madre mía, sigo sin poder digerir esto en su estado actual.

    Nota final: He intentado desde el primer momento no comparar esto en ningún sentido con los Fallouts originales (1 y 2), lo he jugado y posteriormente juzgado como juegos completamente distintos.
    En ningún momento de esta reseñita he hecho ninguna comparación con los originales, porque creedme, si empiezo a hablar de cómo estos títulos recientes no están a la altura de los originales, no termino en la vida. Simplemente entiendo que ya no era justo compararlos desde el minuto 0, y he evitado siempre trazar paralelismos entre ellos.    … Expand

For a sandbox game, it is boring to explore and there are a small amount of unmemorable scripted encounters. NPCS are touted as having so much better dialogue and writing than other entries. However, many repeat the same information as the last person you spoke to and it feels like you're getting constant exposition dumps thrown at you. If you don't like the humor then you're going to have a bad time. As per usual, there are the familiar charming little bugs that come with the games in this engine.

    Being newer than Fallout 3, there are some small improvements such as crafting, hardcore mode and the companion wheel. My favourite thing about this game is how the companions have personal quests and a variety of ending slides. You cannot however play past these slides. The reputation system is also a nice touch and ensures that some of the towns will remember your actions: good or bad.

    There are many factions to enhance the worldspace and the ability to disguise as a member of them is a really fun mechanic. Unfortunately, they are not all fully fleshed out and it can feel limiting to play siding with them. The DLC also adds backstory to your character in the middle of the game! I do not feel that this makes it a good roleplaying experience as you may have to rewrite everything to fit these events. You are also still limited to being a courier, which I do not mind. It is not the entirely open character for you to create though. Oh and J.Sawyer says you're not allowed to have amnesia so don't go roleplaying like that as you may have wanted to. Your courier has the option to ask things that they should definitely know given the events of Lonesome Road. I prefer the other protagonists where you get at least a little snippet of their life to build upon in unique ways.

    The introduction is very weak. It needed more than just a cutscene and does not establish the setting well to players new to the series. Whilst Goodsprings does introduce you to elements of the game such as combat and choices, it feels disconnected to the main plot. Many of the main quests feel like side quests and are poorly designed. Come Fly With Me is one of the worst offenders with so much backtracking! It is the only time i have ever felt the need to enter "movetoqt" into the console.

    Ultimately, I do not feel like this game works well with the sandbox that it was put in. Despite having a short development time and unfamiliar tools, it doesn't really justify the quality of the game as it was hardly made from scratch with existing assets and story from the cancelled Fallout: Van Buren. For example, Dragon Age 2 had miles better writing in it's short development time.

    Whilst a vocal few fans state that this is the best in the series, I'd only rate it above Fallout 76 and BOS as a fan of over 10 years. It is a poor introduction to the series and has put many friends and family off of the series entirely. Which is really a shame! The original Fallout 1 is a much better one to play. If it is too old for your liking, Fallout 3 and 4 are incredibly fun to play and still have excellent moral choices and roleplaying options with strong exploration to weave into your characterisation.    … Expand

Their motivations are straightforward at best, cliche at worst. The story is boring and fails to get your attention. It is a story you can easily tell was made by people who did not care about what they were making akin to the Minions movie or the Emoji movie. People who needed a story and undoubtedly wrote it in an afternoon. The studio needed a story rather than someone having a story to tell.

    So if not for the story, what reason is there to play? That’s a question I sought to answer and failed. The fighting is bland and unserviceable. The enemies rarely respond to their environment instead opting to either stand as idle sims with their rifles or run to you shooting you until either you or them run out of health.

    So if not for the gunplay or the story what’s the reason to play? Well considering those are the only things in the game that were given any attention, there’s really nothing to do. This game is easily the greatest disappointment in gaming. I genuinely had a better time with fallout 76 and Tactics. Do yourself a favor and just read the story summary on Wikipedia.

The best bits still comprise wasteland-wandering, and the hardcore mode is a curious addition. However, the Gamebryo engine is beginning to feel dated; It usually looks fine, but loading screens between doorways, the limited NPC population and the lack of views to underpin context add to a collective impression of unreality. Since NV uses the same graphics as FO3, it surprised me that NV shuns years of modding and DLC content by making this a 'new game', when it should have been implemented as a full expansion; Our FO3 character could easily have been asked to courier the Chip from, say, Rivet City to New Vegas and found ourselves confronted with Benny, allowing for a seamless merge. For those of us who have tweaked FO3 to our liking since '08, being dragged back to a 'Vanilla' world is a stark reminder of the flaws that mods have fixed (unless you are a console-gamer). I could have excused the game for occasional crashes and glitches, and I understand that the emphasis is now on the console-market, but the trigger that turned my mind from "give it a chance" to "this is dull" was the awful immersion. This was achieved by the inane AI, the primitive patchwork world, the poorly/lazily constructed story & narration, and the implausible architecture. My zero score is for balance. My true score would be 3, for its efforts to add 'Hardcore', improve the implementation of skills when dealing with NPC's, and some other beneficial but superficial improvments. NV's increased linearity irks me slightly as well. I hope ID Software graces Bethesda with a better 3D engine for TES V:Skyrim.… Expand

    Bethesda is now infamous for its laggy, buggy, and glitchy games. Fallout: New Vegas is no exception and continues in the proud tradition of making a mockery of customers by charging $60 for a broken piece of plastic garbage.

    Now, is it fun? I suppose it is some fun in the traditional fallout sense. Admittedly most bugs, glitches, and lags aren't quite game-breakers.

    Now, is it fun? I suppose it is some fun in the traditional fallout sense.

    Admittedly most bugs, glitches, and lags aren't quite game-breakers. However, the save-game file sizes and the constant need to turn the PS3 on and off just isn't worth the hassle.

    Will Bethesda ever patch up the thing, though? I doubt it. One needs only take a look at Bethesda's record of shoddy patching.

    Bethesda's quality control borders on the criminal.

    Now, I know people vary wildly in personal opinion and expectations of the game, but the fact that this piece of garbage got 7.9 is nothing less than a conspiracy on the part of critics and if not, Bethesda lied to EVERYONE.    … Expand

    Honestly, it deserves a 0. It's not playable. We preordered the game and picked it up that day. Brought it home and what happens? Can't even play it. Fallout 3 was buggy. Yes, very buggy.

    Probably most boring game ever. If we put aside graphics from around 1997. this game is still boring. To play that you don't need any shooting skills at all. If you want a lot of playing hours just to walk and talk around you buy this game.

    Low violence version = low score review

    The game wasn't even in danger of being censored or anything, it was just pure laziness on Bethesda's part to avoid the German violence rating process.

    A broken and crappy console port. The game's UI is especially designed for console, with no shortcut key to quickly access various info. panel and weapon switching. Player have to do a lot of navigation before they can either use item, repair equipment, check map and the quest logs.

    Also, the game is extremely buggy. Calling out the map too frequently may result in a black screen of crash. Loading to a new map can also cause random crash. The scripted events are the worse I have seen in the life, a crash can even occur when a NPC is supposed to leave the building by script.

    This game is indeed an elder scroll with fallout theme, with an extremely large map including lots of waste land, which serves no value to either plot or adventure. The game is made just like a survival game rather than the good old epic classic RPG game, completely deviating from the ideas of Fallout.

    Simply copying the VATS from a tactical game to a FPS game won't work. It is just plain boring when using that ability in FPS, slowing down the pace too much.

    At last, some more polishing should be done to the UI. No one wants to watch an inventory item menu flooded with words only, even Fallout 1 and 2 have icons associated with the items. What a great mess and disaster to look at the menu when you have lots of items.    … Expand

    I played this game in 2020. I am a longtime fallout fan and i can say the game is great! It has a very solid story, certainly more compelling and detailed than even fallout 4. Gameplay is great, shoutout to the sound design and the choice of weapons (so glad they included the M1 Garand).

    There are a ton of choices to make that certainly feel difficult and have an impact later in the game. In general the flow of the game felt great.

    The downside is that the game is riddled with glitches. Expect to load autosaves often as some quests will break and you will suddenly be stuck in between pixels or in a wall. It was especially annoying to see the last quest of the game glitch, when the tension was high and I was expecting a climax.

    Graphics dont hold out fort this generation but that is to be expected. Even though the mojave desert is immersive, it lacks cool, outstanding places to visit.

    Had a great time playing it!    … Expand

    What a game guys, and I can honestly say that in an incredibly negative way. I had a terrible time in this asset flipped screed of a game.

I had a terrible time in this asset flipped screed of a game. For anyone not inclined to read further (and I know that unlike me, Vodd Lowhard, many aren't brave enough to take a view like this), Fallout New Vegas sucks. It takes everything good about Fallout 3 (and I might have said Fallout 4, Fallout 76 and Skyrim, which is worth buying on the Nintendo 3DS when it comes out in Q3 2020, if Fallout New Vegas hadn't come out before them). Herein outlines why:

    1) The engine is terrible. When Bethesda, run by the genius Todd Howard (who is not me, Rod Saward) came up with the engine for their games in 1467, they had a purpose in mind. A goal. A vision. Something that was achieved, and then iterated upon again and again, to utter perfection. However, we, and by we, I mean us the public, and definitely not Todd Howard and his epic team of great people who are all the best at programming, realised the fact that it wouldn't last, so we updated it. The team that developed Fallout New Vegas and that awful looking new "Spouter Morlds" game (I think it's called that?) apparently didn't get the memo, and didn't update the engine or even bother to write a new engine from scratch. Pathetic. However, there is still value in older games, such as Skyrim, coming to PS Vita Q2 2021.

    2) The story. I'm sorry, but if I was invested in the confusingly boring type of story that Fallout New Vegas has decided to tell, I would go and read an intellectually heavyweight book like Charlie and the chocolate factory. Unfortunately, they've decided to jam something of that length into a game where it really doesn't belong, and you can really feel it with how jarring the number of dialogue options is in the conversations. A good example of dialogue in a game would be Skyrim (which I hear is coming to Stadia Q4 2024) or Fallout 4. A simple 4 options. Easy to understand. Perfect to play, so what if it "lacks complexity" or "is for babies". If I were Todd Howard, (and I am not, for I am Codd Mallard) I would be deeply upset by such a misunderstanding of my games. Good on him for being such a trooper and good developer

    3) The variety of weapons. There was absolutely no need for the 8 million and 4 available weapons in game (I counted them all myself). Why have different things when you could have a great system like in fallout 4, where everything follows a theme and looks lovely and in place. Why couldn't they have done that? Or Skyrim for another example. If Skyrim had had the insane number of weapons as New Vegas- the sheer bonkers number, we would not have been able to fit it into a UMD disc, exclusively for the PSP E1000 street model 2037 Q2.

    In summary. It's just not great. I couldn't give it higher than a 0, not without compromising my integrity as a fan of good, fun, enjoyable games. Play it if you want, but honestly, you'd be better off with Skyrim, which I've heard is coming to Blackberry OS devices Q1 2021, or better yet, Fallout 76.    … Expand

    This is simply an unfinished game.
    Graphically and aesthetics in general are poor at best. Storyline and choices system is lacking. Gameplay is meh.

    ты например можешь переспасть с тем кто тебя убил и во сне его-же убить. или ты можешь в самом первом квесте не защитить Гудспрингс ,а наоборот подорвать его.

    Fallout: New Vegas looks like an Add On to Fallout 3, but that should not mean, that it's a copy of its forerunner. It scores with an great atmosphere, nice story and all the typical and awesome Fallout features.
