    Best game ever. I do not even now how much I spent into this game. The best if you want to start Fallout series.

Lots of different characters. And finally, a cool and interesting boss, as well as an epic finale.
    This game definitely deserves praise.    … Expand

    In the broadest strokes possible, New Vegas is set in a battleground between the 3 different economic modes and their different forms of social organisation formed after the Great War. There's the NCR, an early capitalist republic based around its water caravans; Caesar's Legion, a vast slaver army; and the ancient, tight-knit tribes of the Wasteland, "families of families". Each of theseIn the broadest strokes possible, New Vegas is set in a battleground between the 3 different economic modes and their different forms of social organisation formed after the Great War. There's the NCR, an early capitalist republic based around its water caravans; Caesar's Legion, a vast slaver army; and the ancient, tight-knit tribes of the Wasteland, "families of families". Each of these societies interact and exist independently of the Courier. The few tribes who end up classed as raiders (mainly the Vipers) have complicated histories, cultures, and interactions. Only in a few scattered settlements are left out of the loop.

    Fallout 4 has none of that. There are no states. There are no tribes. There are cities, which don't do anything, and exist solely so you can fast travel in, sell all your junk, and leave. Raider-tribals are replaced with nameless, identical "raiders", who are all insane and stupid, and respawn in the same places every 3 days to shoot at anyone who walks by for some reason (so they can put their heads on sticks and smell rotting human flesh all day I guess). Instead of forming tribes as they ventured out into the wastes, all the vault dwellers are either still cooped up in their vaults 2 centuries later (who knows how they're managing their populations) or dead for the SS to trample over on their way to the next terminal. Instead of mercs, there are Gunners (who despite supposedly being mercenaries are never actually seen being mercenaries), the most technologically advanced minor faction in the Commonwealth who should really be ruling the entire place by now, but instead spend their time doing insidious plots and shooting anyone they see for some reason. As soon as the story, which acts as a substitute for real worldbuilding, ends, so does any energy the cities of the Commonwealth ever had. I guess people have been too busy shooting at eachother for the last 200 years to do anything whatsoever.

    The factions themselves consist of Unexplained Evil Scientists, knights in shining power armour who moved in a massive military force after they found out the Unexplained Evil Scientists were there for some reason, a single man who makes you the general of an army just because you helped 4 people, and secret agents who free the Unexplained Evil Scientists' synth slaves. The only faction that has any actual connection to Commonwealth society is the Railroad, and they're the most absurdly underdeveloped (and that's saying something) of all of them.

    My favourite moment in FONV is when you enter the Strip for the first time, and you see NCR troopers stumbling around with Military Police trying to keep them walking in 1 direction. You've heard all the way to New Vegas about how troopers go to the strip to blow their pay on booze, slot machines and prostitutes, and here they are. These are real people, in a real army, in a real place, going to real institutions. They'll be stumbling around whether you're there or not.    … Expand

    Honestly it is a decent game, the characters and setting are amazing and it is an all round fun time. I found the DLC's a bit disappointing but the main game is great.

    I absolutely adore this game and believe it is one of my favourites. The story is interesting and enticing, the humour is on point and the side quests are prone from sounding boring at first before creating one of the most memorable side stories in the whole series (The quest 'Come fly with me' is a great example).

However, as anyone who has played anything related to Bethesda can tell you, the bugs are extremely prevalent and my game crashes 3/5 times when first loading up a save. Regardless, I would/have recommended it to everyone who'd listen to me and if you're like me and want to have more creativity with weapon customisation, I'd highly recommend cashing up 3 extra dollars for the gun runners arsenal dlc, which adds more weapon mods and ammo types.
    8/10 Would be 10 if not for the bugs!!    … Expand

    I've played a few RPGs in my life, being Fallout 3 one of my favourites, and Fallout New Vegas proved to be at the top with the all time greats.

I now know that if I ever want to play a game for its RPG elements, exploration and setting, I'll always have somewhere to turn to. I tried to ingest as much of the Wasteland as I could, without stagnating my mental sanity, and found a world full of life (not much life actually). It's an immersive and believable world that didn't leave me alone until I got tired of it (never did), possibly even hindering my studies.

    I will set out some ratings from 0 to 10 to facilitate the final verdict:

    Presentation: 8/10
    Writing: 9/10
    Gameplay: 6/10
    Sound/Music: 7/10
    Graphics: 8/10 (for a 2010 game)
    Content: 10/10
    Optimization: -/10 (for a 2010 game, can't really tell)

    The way this game is built makes for an unprecedented replayability. The possible endings and storylines with the various factions in the game makes the overall content sky high, deserving of a rating 10 on Content. Also positive note to the possible companions, everyone had a lot of dialogue and even missions of their own, something you don't see a lot of.

    This game deserves a lot of praise, especially considering its short production time. This being an RPG, I decided to prioritise the writing and not the gameplay, so it's a 9/10 in my opinion.    … Expand

    More than 10 years later game still holds up as one of the best first person action-rpg ever. After Obsidian being scammed for money because the game got 84 instead of 85 on metacritic, I doubt that anyone else would work with Bethesda, especially the creators of Vegas. And that's sad, considering Bethesda.

    Лучшая часть Фаллаут, да и вообще одна из лучших игр в истории. Да, в ней полно проблем, багов и прочего дерьма, но лучшей ролевой игры про постапокалипсис в 3D вы не найдёте.

    Por mucho el mejor Fallout diseñado hasta el momento, el trabajo de Obsidian fue magnifico en cada aspecto, siendo solo limitado por Bethesda.
    Obsidian debería diseñar todos los Fallout de ahora en adelante.

    Probably the best RPG game ever made. Story, quests, NPCs and atmosphere are great. Game doesn't look too god visually, but its not about visuals.
    If Obsididan worked on Fallout, that could have been a great game too.

    if you can see over the bugs due to a 18 month dev time then you got one of the best fallout and rpg experiences ever with aboslututely phenominal dialogue options and a soundtrack that is stuck in my brain and will forever remain in there

    This game is extremely immersive and compelling; it should be used as a guide for video game story telling. The RPG elements are nice, but the gameplay is a little boring. is just shoots your gun for you. The game breaking bug also keeps this game from becoming a masterpiece.

    Many improvements over Fallout 3
    *Better shooting
    *Better roleplaying
    *More content
    That being said id still argue that Fallout 3 has a better world design and atmosphere
    Nevertheless if you looking for an single player roleplaying game this is the game to go.

Understandably, a lot of people have issues with the bugs and dated graphics (even for when it released), but I have always held the opinion that if a game can't function very well, then the narrative must pick up the slack. Not only does Fallout: New Vegas pick up the slack, it gets a scissor lift and launches it into the stratosphere, made all the more impressive due to the fact that the game was developed in only 18 months. 10/10, would most definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great open world RPG with a unique aesthetic and an intriguing story.… Expand

    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.
