    Easily one of, if not the, greatest RPGs of all time, hands down. Everything from the realistic lived-in world to the sandbox approach to combat(literally due to the location in the Mojave Desert) feels fleshed out and in-depth, allowing for an overall great storytelling experience that I have had trouble topping in the years since I first played this game.

Everything from the realistic lived-in world to the sandbox approach to combat(literally due to the location in the Mojave Desert) feels fleshed out and in-depth, allowing for an overall great storytelling experience that I have had trouble topping in the years since I first played this game. 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

    An RPG where almost every action has consecuences, great dialogues, great attention to detail, the small things like the chess boards, types of drinks, mechanical pieces and other items around the characters makes it easy to fill the gaps and imagine an alive world.

    13 years after release, it's still nothing short of a masterpiece. It hits all the right things, it has an interesting and engaging plot, colourful characters, focus on genuine player choices, great dialogue, great humour, great setting... it's an actual RPG. The game is quite buggy, but all my favourite games were, and many still are, buggy af.

    If a simple single-purpose on-rails game such as Call of Duty had this many bugs, I would give it a bad rating. But Fallout is not that kind of game, there's a lot to it, so a lot that can go wrong. Luckily the modding community are doing a great job keeping this game alive, functional, pretty, dense with content and replayable.
    You know a game has a soul when the fans are working on it years later (I'm looking at you, V:tM-Bloodlines, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls series, M&B)    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    The best fallout game ever created, the only thing that sucks is that after you finish the game you cant continue playing it (later in 4 you can) also the best RPG ever created. Good job Obsidian!
    also you cant run, that sucks too

    This game has game breaking bugs, outdated visuals (since it's a 2010 game) and a combat system that can be greatly improved.

    Even with all of that, I'm still rating this game a perfect 10, this game is a masterpiece and tells one of the most fantastic stories ever told in video game history (at least in my opinion).

    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.
