    It was good, just not as good as Fall Out 3. Graphics are decent, gameplay mechanics are good, FPS RPG, just felt like an expansion to Fall Out 3. Which, by no means is a terrible thing, just felt lacking in substance at times, but overall a good experience.

    I love this game. While it may not be the best game in the world it is one of my favorites.

    This game was a blast for me because of all the mini games and the side plots, some of which I must admit were a bit twisted (that's why I loved it!) The game also has a companion feature that lets you to find and recruit companions to help you in tight situations.

    I also enjoyed the different feel that the story line had from fallout 3. Instead of the feeling of a society fresh from the ashes of a nuclear holocaust you get that freshness of a society that is finally strong and headed on the fast track to reaching "old world glory".    … Expand

    First off, I'll state my bias: I love Bethesda games. Oblivion, FO3, Skyrim, I loved the hell out of them. FONV is no different in my book, and I don't feel I need to go into what Bethesda does so well. Instead I'll say 2 things. The first is about Obsidian, the designers of this FO installment.

They are a studio that, imo, has had a bit of a bum rap over their history. But I think FONV gives us a hint of just how great Obsidian really is. The writing is everything it needs, characters with personality and backstory, humour, tension, politics, twists. All the writing is just so rich. I'd even go as far to say that they overshadow Bethesda slightly. The second thing I would say is a comment about the infamous bugs. Ok, Bethesda games are buggy. But I think I can forgive them that for the sheer amount of content in the game. Is it really possible to develop a game that lasts 10 times more hours than a game of similar budget and not expect a little lack of polish? I tend to not think so, and I appreciate the level of polish they pull off nonetheless. If you like sandbox rpgs, you'll love Fallout New Vegas.… Expand

    That being said, the game still has some great features. the iron sights are a welcome change, the new weapons and weapon upgrades are very nice and the conflict of the story really make the game very interesting, this game is still a fallout game in my eyes and true fans to the series will defiantly want to play it, I'm just hoping they make the next fallout game more like fallout 3    … Expand

One of the greatest features is the updated karma system, where stealing, killing, breaking and entering affect how a certain group of people like you. Killing someone in one clan raises infamy with them, while helping them awards you with fame. New Vegas has it's bugs, but nothing major. Sometimes small enemies (mainly bugs for some reason) will fall through the floor or run away when you shoot them, instead of becoming hostile. It's not going to win many awards, yet is still a fantastic game.… Expand

    A worthy descendant to the original two Fallout games by Interplay. If you liked the Fallout 3 game engine, but missed the southern sandy atmosphere of Fallout 1 & 2 this is your game. It even features parts of the original Mark Morgan soundtrack of the first two games.

New Vegas, built with the engine of Fallout 3 and recycling a massive amount of themes and elements from all the previous games (almost all the music from Fallout 1 and 2 are reused) and almost every significant faction makes a reappearance. The amount of content is simply staggering; since the game salvages the cancelled Van Buren's (what was to be the original Fallout 3 prior to Bethesda's involvement) ideas and elements.

    The gameplay is extremely similar to Fallout 3 due to technical reasons, but the game has been improved and changed in several ways: VATS has been greatly reduced in efficiency (it's harder to hit opponents with it and the 90% damage reduction is now 25%) and many quests grant alternate solutions to those with the correct skills. Even though speech is still the most important skill for easier quest completion, other skills are also factored in, unlike with Fallout 3.

    One excellent addition to the Fallout 3 formula is the fact that you must choose a side. You are allowed to defect and betray factions, but in the end, you must pick a side. This gives the game replay value, something that was lacking in Fallout 3 as every quest pretty much had the same goal regardless of your playstyle; only the means to reach the end changed.

    But, the negative. The horridly poor animation that plagues all of Bethesda's releases haunts even this Obsidian release. Characters are lifeless robots, animals move in awkward ways and your 3rd person character still cannot strafe - he or she begins a sort of reverse moonwalk if you want to strafe.

    I really would want to grade this game a 7 or 9, because all the elements are there. But I can't, and no one should by any means rate this game above 8 for a singular good reason: it is one of the buggiest games in existence. Missing textures, quest glitches, music playing when it shouldn't, sounds missing, constant crashing, rampant save game corruption and so on. Fallout 3 was not a perfect game but at least you could play it (post-patch) without fear of losing your progress forever. Fallout: New Vegas remains in a permanent alpha-state and is a horrifying testament of Obsidian's technical inadequacies. Fallout fans will love New Vegas even with its flaws. As for the rest... better just buy Fallout 3, because it is nearly as good, and without all that ugliness that the rampaging horde of bugs bring along to the party.    … Expand

    The voice acting and dialogue scripts are so hideous they will make you want to exit the game.

    The Quests are quite well done, especially the DLC content which breathes some fresh life into the stale game.

    The atmosphere is well done and you can tell that there was a good effort made at trying to immerse the player in the game world.

    What I really want to say though, is that this game is quite unspectacular for a Fallout title. What does Fallout mean? It means witty dialogue, Role playing elements, with just the right sprinkle of FPS gameplay that so many of our Asperger's suffering Call of Duty brothers need so badly. However, in Fallout 3 and New Vegas, the RPG, atmospheric, and witty dialogue elements have been completely eliminated. Stale voiceovers from people that you can tell don't give a damn about their roles ruin the sense of immersion. One of the most touted new features, the gun mods, really add nothing to the overall grand scheme of things, except allowing the younger audience to feel cool somehow. I mean... really? Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter? Come on now, what is this kind of dialogue? It gets so stale so very fast.

    Moving on, the quests are actually well done, giving your character CHOICE for the first time since Fallout 2. It was a BADLY NEEDED element from previous games and left a smile on my face. I loved the quests even if they were very watered down because of the three pathways you could take in the game. This is probably as politically incorrect as American companies will ever get in this generation of sterile mass gaming, so its nice to see a slaver faction like Ceasar's Legion. I liked the Old World Blues setting as well, with clever dialogue and good quests overall. I feel like the DLC's had better quality quests than the main game.

    The graphics are unfortunately hideous. This is sadly due to the fact that XBOX 360 graphics are quite old and the system can not handle many characters on the screen at the same time along with so many textures. They really did have to strip down so many areas to make the game Xbox compatible. Freeside had to be divided into two areas, which is pathetic. I mean, Vegas itself had to be divided into two areas, which is even more disturbing. There is an inexplicable fence that completely and utterly breaks all immersion once you see it. Another thing which irked me so much was this focus on the city of New Vegas itself. I mean, you've got this itch to go and see the place that everyone touts as the last untouched city on earth, and you can see it from a long distance as well. It shines in the night time and it is very alluring to wary travelers in the Mojave. However, once you do get to the city, words can not describe how underwhelming it is. The architecture is very bland, there are limited characters and NPC's. It feels so rushed and it is very disapointing. I would describe it kind of like how the Imperial City felt when I was playing Oblivion so many years ago, but I digress.

    The guns, as expected, are really well done and with the help of the modding community this game has a larger arsenal than any of the biggest FPS titles out there, rivaled only by battlefield 3, which really doesn't mean anything at all for a so called Role Playing Game. This doesn't mean that there are no RPG elements here, there are many many more than in Fallout 3 and the system I do appreciate. I mean, they really did a good job integrating perks and traits to make your character feel more unique than the generic Caucasian male that most folks will be playing as. Overall, I would give this game a fair 7.0 on the scale. I wish I could give it more because it is a Fallout title, and I know that Obsidian gave it their all to produce something that is interesting on such a terrible gaming engine and for such a terrible piece of hardware like the 360, but you still cannot be excused because it is what it is. This is a good game that gets rather stale, feels stale compared to Fallout 3 (You will not notice many graphical differences, even the useless clutter items are mostly the same), but has many of the beloved classical rpg elements like traits, perks, gun mods (if they are rpg traits), CHOICE in which side to take on many matters, which enemies to make, which friends to make. But again and again, the horrific dialogue will have you turning the volume down and looking around to make sure no one is watching you listen to such cheesy dialogue as this game has. It is that shamefully written.

    Overall, once again, a 7.0 worth checking out for one play through.    … Expand

    1. The ability to modify your weapons
    2. A far wider array of factions

First of all, New Vegas in NOT made my Bethesda, but was developed by Obsidian. From a FI perspective the game isn't much to write home about; the gameplay is virtually unchanged save for new weapons and iron sight aiming and the quests are as fun as ever. The most significant difference is the reputation system which dictates how different factions and settlements will react to you. For example, doing favours for someone will increase your reputation with that settlement or doing vice versa will degrade your reputation. The system does produce interesting scenarios from a role-playing perspective but it means little to me as I'm more interested in the world and the quests. The game has a more distinct vibe to it than Fallout 3 despite the main story being uninteresting in comparison, the colourful Vegas looks quite spectacular from a distance. So from a first-impressions viewpoint, I like New Vegas. It still has plenty of interesting quests and I'll no doubt enjoy what the reputation system can offer but for some reason I can't get that interested in the setting.… Expand

    It had great potential, it really did. But, if you don't like grey, cold vaults and an endless dusty Nevada - this game is not for you. The quests get boring after a while, it mainly seems like the same thing. Had nothing that The Elder Scrolls series had. I'll be honest, The Elder Scrolls: Arena (1994) was a better game than this.

    The best open world rpg. I have not seen any other open world rpg where the quest give the freedom to decide and the world is opened for player. there is really freedom. Guess you get ctd too many times but unfortunately Obsidian didnt get enough time to finish this work. And yes the story is great really great. So summary thanks Obsidian!!!

    3+/5 (Kinda good) So, you've played Fallout 3 with all its DLCs, and now you try Fallout: New Vegas. You notice there is nothing "really" new about it, except it's kinda different. It's good, but the game feels like a big DLC for Fallout 3, so it's KINDA good.

    Despite Obsidian's fan-service, Fallout: New Vegas is a heaping pile of bugs.

    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.
