    Лучшая игра в серии. Она собрала все лучше из фалаут 1/2 и фалаут3. И все это при том, что создавалась игра небольшой студией на устаревшем движке в короткие сроки. Это стало причиной сотен багов и как следствие низких оценок критиков, хотя в окончательной версии багов минимум. Культовая игра, которую должны попробовать всеЛучшая игра в серии.

    The game is a true rpg experience, modern role-playing games just don't compare to the immersive story and choices fallout new vegas has to offer, lets hope we get a sequel to this spin off one day.

    By far the best 1st person RPG i've played. Only the bugs are a minus. The characters, setting, quests, factions, dlcs, are so brilliantly made and written.

    I never played Fallout series before, then, this is my first introduction to the Fallout franchise. Though, i heard Fallout New Vegas was so good because the story and the setting of the game. Maybe this is the main reason it's being the best Fallout series that I have heard.

Other than that, it's looks a bit dated for this days but it's fine because it was released in 2010 or if you aren't satisfied with the quality of the game though, you can install mods to change it whatever you like, e.g, Texture overhaul, Face rework of the characters. But at all, this 3D Falllout game can run on low spec devices though. If you looking for good survival and story driven game that only require so low specs and my Intel core I3 8th gen, 4 GB ram could run it. It's so well made. And can keep you busy to pass the time for many hours if you want to. I have spent 72 hours in this game and so far I liked it. Though with the grapich set to low, but i still enjoyed it this far.… Expand

    Easily one of the best games ever, great RPG (10 years have passed and nothing can beat it), maybe not the best shooter ever but all game mechanics fit the post-apo setting.

    People tend to blame the bugs among other things for not liking the game, but most of those problems stem from Bethesdas' engine, and not really the fault of Obsidian.    … Expand

    This game was a great follow up to Fallout 3 - Only Flaws I felt this game really had were; This game is BUG CITY and not the funny ones, the game breaking ones. The map was short, turning a 80+hour story line into a 20+hour game.

    Weapons were fun

    IMO should've just been a DLC to F3

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

    This was my first entry with the fallout series and it was amazing , it is one of my all time favourites games first thing you wanna know about this game that it is not a first person shooter , you resolve things with words and occasionaly with bullets , and if your not prepared to read hundreds of dialouges , its not a game for you. that isnt saying that there are no guns or encountersThis was my first entry with the fallout series and it was amazing , it is one of my all time favourites games first thing you wanna know about this game that it is not a first person shooter , you resolve things with words and occasionaly with bullets , and if your not prepared to read hundreds of dialouges , its not a game for you. that isnt saying that there are no guns or encounters in this game , but if you want a game like farcry from this , its not that. now with that out of a way , this game has one of the best writing of any game out there , the amount of choice is astounding , and its without a doubt the best part of the game. for example the first quest in the game is preparing a small village for an ambush of thugs , you have the choice of helping the village , by convincing its members to join you or you can join the thugs and get considerable loot from the village , or you can just dont care at all and wonder off to the wastland . the game is filled with that kind of quest , but much more complex the further you are in the game , i havent encounter a single one boring quest that is in other games with structure of "there is an item somewhere. bring it to me" or something like that. this is really refreshing after new AAA games with boring quest with no choice , and a story you dont care about. one vault in this game (vault 11 if anyone cares) has a more compeling and intresting story , told just with notes and terminals , than the entirety of far cry 5 , and its tucked away in a middle of some desert somewhere where you can completly miss it. The world is also absolutly amazing , everywhere you go you will find something interisting , novac has a giant dinasour , primm has a rollercouster new vagas shines like a beacon in the wasteland , i could go any direction and there was eaither an intersitng quest or just a nice view.
    now on to the bad stuff that made it a 9 instead of 10

    -there are lots of bugs in this game ,not as much as in fallout 76 or cyberpunk but there are still noticable sometimes a dialouge option didnt appear , so i couldnt complete a quest, sometimes my companion would get stuck in a rock and i had to fast travel to get him out , when i alt tab from the game sometimes i would be in the menu and the whole game would stop , but i could still move around . But worst of all , around 50% of the time when i tried to start up the game , it would completely freeze at the loading screen and the only option would be to restart the PC , one time i couldnt start the game for 20 min or so .
    -the graphics are dated and everything in the world is either rock or sand , but i didnt mind it , i still play half life 1 from time ti time and that game didnt age well.
    -the shooting is a little stiff and not that good , but the amount of guns customisation and ammo makes up for it

    and thats about it , this game has lots of great stuff that i didnt metion but i dont want this review to be 5000 characters long , so ill just quickly go over some stuff

    - the character creation is amaizing,
    -the 3 factions all have intresting believes in the world , so it isnt a "you wanna be a good guy , or a bad guy?" choice .
    -the game is fairly difficult ( i think its a plus , super easy games bore me real fast).
    -game has hardcore mode if youre into that .

    in conclusion , this game is f*cking awesome , and you should play it , its 10 dollars on steam , cmon    … Expand

    This was one of my first PC games I ever completed so I have kind of relationship with this game. I really loved the story and how you have choices in this game and getting cool armors and getting better at combat feels satisfying. And by the way if you want to 100 % this game be prepared to play for at least 200 hours, yup. This game is looong! Have fun!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really liked the game, first of all, for the interesting plot that has 4 endings, and even these endings can be different depending on the player's actions, also interesting quests, for example, a quest that hardly anyone missed the quest begins, you just need to clean the room from ghouls ends with the launch of ghouls to the moon, and then this quest is variable, and I have not yet mentioned the quest food for gourmets, atomic tango and so on, the world itself is also remembered just exploring the world you will have fun also this game was liked by fans of the original parts of Fallout why? The reason is that this is practically the same Fallout, only in isometric the game can be praised for a long time, but there are also disadvantages, probably the most important disadvantage is the bugs, they are not critical, but still somehow upset and sometimes interfere with the passage, and so there were no more disadvantages for me. I liked the game not only because of the interesting plot and quests, but also because of the open world, I can say one of the best games… Expand

    the game has really interesting RPG elements. The quest writing is quite good, the character editing is a bit bland and didn't age well. If you like the action rpg genre you must play this game, because it still enjoyable even to this day, the AI is better than cyberpunk. The game however has a great mod community

    Fallout new vegas is just a great game overall. The story is amazing, the combat feels for the most part good, most characters have, well, character and overall it is so far my favorite fallout game. The only reason I'm not giving it a 10 is because of how many bugs this game has but all my problems with this game are on a technical level.

    The main story of “Fallout New Vegas” wasn’t as interesting as the side quests, the decisions that you make really changes the further story. The reputation system in the game is amazing, you always need to track your reputation with every faction in the game.

    Repeatability of the game is pretty good. There are a few choices: you can play on hardmode where you will need to keep track on more stats, enemies do more damage to you etc. etc. You can also play different playstyles like sniper, hitman, trader, cowboy, politician etc.

    The fps mechanics of the game are quite good they’re not as good as in “Fallout 4”, but the roleplay of “Fallout New Vegas” definitely complements the shooting mechanics, the skill and perk system has a lot of choices and you can create any kind of character that you would want.

    In conclusion the game is amazing, I would definitely recommend to at least try the game for yourself. I have completed the game a few times and I still have ideas how I could complete the game in other ways.    … Expand

    This game is not without its issue because this thing is running on the Gamebryo. The story and character development in this game very well done. Of course, Bethesda didn't give Obsidian another chance coz they know they are gonna knock it out of the park because the game didn't get the score BGS set for. Obsidian, I am waiting for a new Fallout game from you guys.

The story, music, exploration, world design and building, characters, side quests and other optional activities, RPG element decisions, etcetera are all aspects that shine with its masterful game design. Even the gameplay is really good, and is only enhanced further by the story, exploration, and constant dread you feel throughout the game. Dread is a good word for this game in general, plus the Fallout games before it. They are honestly very scary - sometimes passively by the player never knowing what danger may lay around the corner, able to severely damage them or kill them, and most importantly the sheer trepidation and horror created by the atmosphere, scenery depicting a future of a world in ruins after nuclear destruction, and so on; and other times aggressively with sudden movements, obviously contributing to the frequent trepidation that moves up your spine.

    Playing this game for the first time is one of the greatest experiences, I have ever been able to have.    … 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.
