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

    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.

The game is set in a dull but immersive WastelandFallout: 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.

    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.

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

    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.

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.

    Ambitious ideas with flaws in gameplay.

    Fallout is known for its open world, and massive branching story arcs. New Vegas is no different. The landscape is quite massive. Dialogue options are plentiful. The amount of perks and abilities is staggering. The amount of things you can loot and acquire is overwhelming. All these should point to a very deep and rich game experience, but there are problems.

    With so much information, there needs to be a way for it to be organized in a way that doesn't make it a jumbled mess. And that's exactly where New Vegas falls short. After I progressed a good few hours into the game, my bag was full of goodies and random stuff. The weapon section alone was a jumbled mess. The chaotic amount of ammo and weapons are all mixed in the same category, making browsing to the weapon I want a very difficult task. There are no shortcuts whatsoever. Having to pull p the pip boy every 20 seconds breaks the pace of the game way too much. This adds onto the numerous times you need to pull it up to see quest objectives, and double check marker location, cause besides a marker on the main screen, there's absolutely no indication of how far away you are from the destination.

    There were times when I wasn't sure if I should be approaching a certain area because there may be too many enemies, enemies who are way higher level than me, or random proximity mines on the ground. These all cause cheap deaths, which break the pace of the game. For this very reason, I found myself having to quick save constantly, which in itself was annoying.

    There's no explanation for a lot of the effects that happen to you throughout the game. I'm getting radiation...ok, so what? What does radiation do to me? Oh, I'm losing good karma...ok, how does karma affect me? So many questions, but no answers, until I google it.

    The game gives you all these perk choices at the very start of the game, but you have no idea what you need. How much charisma do I need? Will there be a lot of dialogue choices which takes advantage of that? How important is combat? Will there be situations which screw me over because I assigned only 1 point to strength? How important is perception? Will there be a lot of enemies in the hub world that I can't get past unless I have some perception? You have to guess all these things before you even set foot out the door. The most logical choice is to assign the points evenly, cause you no knowledge whatsoever of what to expect. You start to get an idea of what to expect after getting out of the first town, but you perks are already locked in at this point. Oops, you want to be a charismatic person and pass speech checks, but you only assigned 3 to speech? Too bad, slowly grind your way there.

    Not knowing what was a main quest and what was a side quest was really annoying as well. I want to know who shot me in the f***ing head, but I could be following false leads because this guy promised me information, if I help him get this guy, but the guy I'm trying to get will tell me, if I help him with this. It's just quest-ception, on and on. But the final part of that mission, might not give me what I want to know, case the entire branch was a side quest. By the end of it, I'm scared to take on another mission, cause it might be a quest-ception of side quests. After 3 long branches of side quests, I'm so drained, I don't even care about who shot me in the head anymore, and just want to stop playing, or want the credits to roll.

    I do love the freedom, and the story branches the game offers. It's truly remarkable how many ways you can play through this game. But all that is largely hindered by the lack of knowledge, and organization. Overall, the experience felt like a jumbled mess for the most part, but when things worked, it was amazing...which unfortunately was far and few in between.

    Fallout New Vegas is a game I am drawn many years after release. American RPG's aren't very enjoyable to me, usually with mediocre consequences and lackluster non-choices. Fallout New Vegas is different, and deserved a higher metacritic for more than one reason.

    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.

    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

    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

    definitely one of my favourite games. the only reason i gave it a 9 and not a 10 is because of some annoying glitches which can mostly be put down to the short amount of time Obsidian had to develop the game. the game's story is amazingly crafted, building on the fallout world and making it feel even more nuanced. also, the feeling the game creates is a perfect way to translate the lonedefinitely one of my favourite games. the only reason i gave it a 9 and not a 10 is because of some annoying glitches which can mostly be put down to the short amount of time Obsidian had to develop the game. the game's story is amazingly crafted, building on the fallout world and making it feel even more nuanced. also, the feeling the game creates is a perfect way to translate the lone wanderer aesthetic of the first fallout into 3d. great game.

    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.

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.

    Fallout: New Vegas is not the best game ever made, but it is my favorite game of all time. The settings are superior compared to Fallout 3 imo, the dialogues are god-tier, lot of unique side quests and interesting characters, more challenging than Fallout 3, etc. I'm a bit upset tho about the Metascore, I think it should be able to surpass Fallout 3's score.

    This might be my favourite game of all time.

Obsidian has really outdone Bethesda by creating an open world game that lets you go anywhere, but cleverly coerces you to find weapons, interesting quests, better armour, and without you even knowing it, you've gone from rags to riches just by playing the game and getting to know these amazing wastes. The brilliant thing about this game is it doesn't force you to do quests, or not let you go in any areas, but it subtly recommends it. By the time you are about to fight in the second battle of hoover dam, you feel like you earned all this. You feel like you know this place like the back of your hand. There is always so much to do, and even revisiting areas lets you find stuff you didn't find before, pick locks you couldn't pick before, and kill enemies you couldn't kill before. The sheer storytelling and happiness this game brings you makes it the best RPG- heck, the best game I have ever played. Obsidian really took fallout 3 and just made it a million times better. There is so much more stuff I could applaud this game for, like the optional hardcore mode, interesting lore, 4 completely different endings, how ALL of your choices effect the environment in some way, the absolute freedom the game gives you, but I don't have enough space and time to say it all. Thank you so much Obsidian, and Bethesda you're dicks for not giving them that bonus. Expand

There is no excuse for not taking that into consideration if your review is below a 9.

    I love Fallout NV. It's my personal favorite Fallout game. It's really surprising how it took around 18 months to make yet has a better story line and has better game play then the game before it (Fallout 3). Sure It has many glitches here and there (And I may have used some for an advantage), but is pretty good otherwise.

In my opinion, Fallout New Vegas has some of the best-written characters in any video game I have ever played. The obvious ones are Mr. House and Ceasar. There is a lot of room for roleplaying. There are so many different characters you can be and there is a lot of variety in the ways you can approach the game. You can go through the game without killing a single NPC. There is also not a single NPC that you cannot kill and the game always finds a way to progress the main story no matter what characters are dead.
