    Oyunu bitirdim ama sadece ana görevlerden giderek. Normalde bu tarz açık dünya oyunlarında her yere gider en dandik yan görevleri bile yaparım.

Normalde bu tarz açık dünya oyunlarında her yere gider en dandik yan görevleri bile yaparım. Ancak bu oyun teknik, animasyon ve görsellik (modlara rağmen)olarak o kadar eski ki içinde çok vakit geçirmek istemedim. Keşke zamanında oynasaymışım. Oyun teknik özellikleri dışında ise harika bir rpg. Hem karakterinizi kişilik olarak çok çeşitli şekilde geliştirebiliyorsunuz hem de bu geliştimelerin karşılığını oynanışta görebiliyorsunuz. Örneğin ben full hitabet ve ticaret kastım ve çoğu görevi hiç çatışmaya girmeden sadece konuşarak çözdüm. Son boss dahil. Ayrıca aldığınız kararların yan görevlerden ana görevlere kadar birçok şeyi etkilediğini görebiliyorsunuz. Seçtiğiniz taraflardan, görev içinde yaptığınız seçimlik küçük bir şeye kadar... Şu oyundaki onlara davranışınıza göre çetelerin veya şehirlerin size düşman veya dost olması, çetelere özel görevlerin olması olayı cyberpunk'ta hiç yok mesela. Olsa efsane olurdu zaten.… Expand

    As late as this is its because i always comeback to it i love the faction system and how the story changes every playthrough and guns aren't always the way to solve problems

    At end of the day you pick up a game to play it.
    When you get into this game you will play and play and play and complete then play again cos what the **** wouldve happened if I did that. I'm certain when I say this is the best game ever made it has bugs but I've left and came back to this game for years on end.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fallout New Vegas is by far the best Fallout game ever made. The story is perfect; set in the Mojave Wasteland you are a courier with the Mojave express on a mission to deliver a special package to the city of New Vegas but are killed by a mysterious person, but you survive and go out into the wasteland to track your killer. At the same time the New California Republic and the Ceasar's Legion are preparing for a final battle to se how will have control of the Mojave Wasteland, and Mr. House the overlord of New Vegas is preparing something in the background in order to keep New Vegas and the Mojave under his control. The gun play is pretty much the same as in other Fallout games. All in all it is a perfect Fallout game.… Expand

    Tremendamente aburrido, un mundo vacío, hasta feo, sin gracia, no me ha interesado nada. He jugado al Fallout 3 previamente. Lo dejé la primera vez a la mitad y la segunda vez, cuando decidí darle una oportunidad después de un tiempo, lo he dejado a las puertas de acabarlo, sin haber encontrado lo que le da tan buenas críticas. No es para mí.

    You know a game is good when, despite all the technical faults, it has a devoted fan base, and is able to unite a fan base split between stubborn (older is better new sucks ) interplay fans and (if it has better graphics it must be good) Bethesda fans. I like both,

    Fallout: New Vegas is a game with an extremely short development cycle of only 18 months the game was outsourced from Bethesda to obsidian to follow from the success of the game in the series prior Fallout 3.

Fallout: New Vegas follows the story of the courier who has been shot and robbed for the package he was delivering a Platinum chip. The game is set in a dull but immersive Wasteland of Vegas called the Mojave Wasteland where every building and wanderer you witness has a story you can visualise and the dull environment lets the centre of the Mojave wasteland shine. The New Vegas Strip you can see the Strip from everywhere in the Wasteland its bright shining lights add so much to the environment seeing the contrast from the dull colour to a bright shining oasis of the Lucky 38. The games dialogue is what really makes it shine the game features over 65,000 unique lines of dialogue a world record to this day and the freedom the game gives you makes your character essentially feel like it is a different version of yourself you can choose from any of the factions to side with and the addition of a fame stat for all of the different factions which has massive impact on if you can complete quests for the faction or if the faction will shoot you on sight. The gameplay leaves a little to be desired the games combat would be lost without the V.A.T.S option this allows you to go slow motion and target a certain part of the body while in V.A.T.S nobody can hit you and you get a percentage chance of hitting a certain part of the body. The game works through a XP and the aforementioned system of fame this allows the game to have an extra feeling of completion and that what you are doing matters. Another part of the game I feel adds another level of enjoyment is the weapon selection if you want to kill someone with a Nuka Cola sign you can the game had lots of amazing unique weapons that all have some sort of reference to pop culture or history. The games extensive Levelling system allows the player to make their character an expert in whatever they want but does not allow them to be an expert in everything a character could be good at talking with 100 Speech and 100 Barter but be terrible at Sneaking you have to pick and choose what you want and with the trait and perk option the game allows you to gain additional bonus’s like the wild wasteland trait which makes strange things happen adding a lot of Easter eggs into the game and the Sneering Imperialist perk which gives you added damage against tribe members. The last thing I am going to highlight is the biggest problem with the game which in no way is the Developers fault as they were forced to release the game early by Bethesda the amount of the glitches this game has impacts the game very negatively there are many quest glitches which make the game impossible to finish personally I have ran into 2 game ending glitches which has set me back multiple hours but despite these I keep on playing the game no matter what it’s just that good.… Expand

    This is the good old Fallout (1 & 2, not the Bethesda's crap) in a new jumpsuit, new vegas jumpsuit... and it suites it well.
    One of the top modern RPGs.
    Obsidian proves that they can still rock&roll.. BIG TIME!

    Fallout: New Vegas is Hands down the best rpg-game ive ever played. No other game gave me so much choices and freedom than this game.
    The modding community did an amazing Job by making mods that improve the gameplay-experience and Fixing Bugs. Because the base game unfortunately has Major technical issues.
    I would give FNV a 9 out of 10 but considering mods its a 10 from me.

    Im gonna start with bugs, i somehow haven't encountered them but there are crashes. Luckily Nexus Community made a mod that tries to fix crashes and i think it worked since i stopped encountering them. The game is good and i love it. I spent 159 hours and on it. and i still play it!

Unfortunately the exploration suffers from the short development time (thanks Bethesda) but the locations themselves especially the vaults are very fun to explore and learn about, there's also some great visual storytelling like the entrance to vault eleven. Although the gameplay is a little dated it still holds up due to the great perk and skill system which makes you feel like your making real progress and also effects the story. I shouldn't not mention the fantastic modding community which has made the game so much better but that's not really there because of the developers its there because of the community so i will not include in the games rating. Regardless i still think this is one of the best games of all time and the best game in the fallout series.… Expand

    Though it's a good game with a good story it's just unplayable for me. The graphics are just not great at all and honestly hurts my eyes. I want to like it and play it. but this singular instance where the graphic get in the way of gameplay just can't be ignored.

    I am a massive Fallout fan, previously enjoying the orginal fallout titles as well as FO3.

    New Vegas is one of my favorite RPGs that I have played so far. It has an awesome amount of lore, weapons, and different options and choices to go down and explore. If you are a fan of RPGs and post-apocalyptic games i strongly suggest you pick this game up. It really sucks you in and takes a hold of you

    It's the only game in this series I played but I enoyed it very much. The typical bugs and quirks of Bethesda where of course present but mods helped me smooth some of it out. Even today I remember some of the stories that played out in the Vaults, so writing at times was very good.

    Very good game with amazing replayability. The game is still (after 10 years) a bit buggy at times but its charm overshadows its shortcomings.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Holy moly what a game this is. Where do I start off, ah yes, yes yes, the story and lore. The writing and the story is spectacular in this game. What can I stay, the story pulled me in. Hmm, next we shall talk about the characters and the quest, ah yes, nearly perfect. It's really cool that FNV is set in a desert setting because it really shows that the world got hit by a nuclear catastrophe. Also, did I mention that this game has multiple endings? You start from surviving a bullet to the head, to making an independent New Vegas while kicking the NCR and Caesar's Legion out of Hoover Dam and the city itself - that's bad-ass. However, it won't get a 10 from me because of the bugs and glitches... ouch...… Expand

    Fallout new vegas manages to pack an absolutely insane amount of content and replayability in it's package. EVERY SINGLE quest hits it out of the park with divergent paths and interesting premises. The character creation is the best ever made. However it suffers from a BAD case of bethesda jank that no amount of mods and patches can fix, often times ripping you out of the experience.

    I got into Fallout with 4, and eventually made my way to New Vegas. It is by far the most fun I have had in gaming ever. The story and characters are impeccable, and you feel like your choices matter. Although the graphics are a bit bleak for today's standards, I still find the game amazing.

    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.

    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.
