    The best 3D Fallout for my opinion. Everything is good in this game, except Oblivion's engine (that causes many bugs and thing like bad shooting mechanics) and unfilled
    huge wastelands between interesting places.

    Начнем с того,что я играл во все Фоллычи(даже в Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel и Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel) и я считаю,что эта часть одна из лучших в серии и вот почему:Лучший сюжет в серии,крутые доп квесты,крутые персонажи,но и в бочке меда есть ложка дегтя в виде:Пустого открытого мира.Всем пис!Начнем с того,что я играл во все Фоллычи(даже в Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel и Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel) и я считаю,что эта часть одна из лучших в серии и вот почему:Лучший сюжет в серии,крутые доп квесты,крутые персонажи,но и в бочке меда есть ложка дегтя в виде:Пустого открытого мира.Всем пис!

    A true rpg.
    Huge variety of different factions with their own agendas makes the world immersive.

    New Vegas is a true successor to a Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 games. Fallout 3 is worthless in terms of RPG elements and storytelling. Play this instead and forget about F3 even existed.

    it is Fallout 3 but better in every way possible.
    Story is better, Gun play is better, graphics look slightly better.
    there are still a bunch of bugs but this is a Bethesda game so that will always be there

    A great rpg with many alternative paths to follow. With mods, it's easily the best game but it feels dated now.

    The story was rigged from the start just like Bennie said,the game mechanic just like Fallout 3 but with different like iron sights, Reloading bench, expanded workbench,new perk system and others.
    The RPG elements was very strong you can decide whatever story will go.
    I give 9 because the bug and glitch but if you want bug fixed try to download mod to fix it.

    I have over 2000 hours in this game, and I have to say that it is my favorite game of all time. The base game is a high 8. Add the DLC it's an easy 9. Start moding it and its definitely a 10.

    With many improvements over the prior game, particularly in the game mechanics, Fallout New Vegas should deserve a higher score than its predecessor, however the plot and locale did not gel with me until my second or third playthrough and it just doesn't have that special place in my heart that Fallout 3 has. Still, an incredible game and one of my all time favourites.

    The only real Fallout in 3D. New Vegas is not an arena shooting range with auto-generated quests. The authors (Obsidian) are not afraid to dose the content and do not try to shove the maximum amount of content into us in one go. Any minor quest in the wastelands of the former state of Nevada is done with soul and resourcefulness, and the significance of the decisions made is really felt.The only real Fallout in 3D. New Vegas is not an arena shooting range with auto-generated quests. The authors (Obsidian) are not afraid to dose the content and do not try to shove the maximum amount of content into us in one go. Any minor quest in the wastelands of the former state of Nevada is done with soul and resourcefulness, and the significance of the decisions made is really felt. Fallout New Vegas goes all-in and puts on a role-based approach even where it’s not customary to bother now. Almost any situation (if desired) can be resolved without the use of weapons and violence, and the role system fundamentally affects the gameplay. Nevertheless, there are players who say something like: "I don’t understand why so much noise and attention around this Vegas, a bunch of boring dialogs and filler scenes. Boredom!" This is a blatant injustice. If you share this opinion, it means that you were either dramatically mistaken in the genre, or you didn’t even try to take advantage of the charms of an authentic RPG and create an authentic character. 2008 was generous with the sequels, and if you look closely, you can see that more than others succeeded those who were extremely careful about their own canons and heritage. In the case of Fallout, New Vegas became such a continuation, but by the time of release it was overtaken by the fate typical of Obsidian releases. The nuclear potential was drowned in technical problems and bugs, but today and now, when these complaints have long been exhausted, we have the peremptorily best Fallout of the 21st century and one of the best RPGs of all time. If someone considers himself a fan of first-class RPGs, but to this day has not passed New Vegas, rather make up for this unforgivable omission.… Expand

    Interesting story, great soundtrack, the game feels very real. And the dialogs - oh my God! Compared to Fallout 3 and especially F4 feels like whole another level.

    The only thing that is not good - the engine, and therefore, the shooting mechanic. That's the only negative thing I can think of. If not that - game would be the greatest of them all.

    This game is legendary in its storytelling and variety of choices and endings. Easily one of my all time favorites. The exploration is one of its best elements. Voice acting is in the next level. The only downside is it is a little buggy.

    Fallout new vegas is a game where you can pursue what ever you want, want to be a Brotherhood of Steel member and walk around in their armor? Get on their good side, as it's up to you with what you do, if you get the game on PC make sure to mod it if you dont want to encounter alot of bugs and with the DLC, it's a smorgasbord of goodness

    But truth is... the game was rigged from the start.
    Fallout: NV is a incredible game made by Obsidian. In term of storywise the game is awesome.
    Only minus I can find is that rusty Bethesda engine.

    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.
