    I'm still not sure why this game is receiving such low scores. I see Fallout New Vegas as a vastly improved Fallout 3.

I really hate having my PS3 crash because of a game, and Fallout New Vegas has crashed my system twice now, but it isn't nearly as bad as Fallout 3 as far as stability. If it weren't for the occasional crashes and glitches, i'd give this game a 10... but all things considered, I think a 9 would be reasonable. Again, this game is better in every way than Fallout 3.… Expand

    I've liked the story of New Vegas far better than that of Fallout 3. It's much less depressing, or confusing for that matter.

It has the best post-Apocalyptic feeling in a game to date! To be honest, this game doesn't need a review. So please take my word and Buy it, then love it! And once you have finished the game, you still have the most awesome DLC's there is out there! So this game have value for money! It also have great replay value! Take my word for it. Buy it.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. New Vegas is, in some ways, the "new Fallout" that a lot of fans wanted. I remain more attached personally to Fallout 3, although I must admit that New Vegas was a masterpiece.

    New Vegas' storyline is interesting. The setting in the western United States, a return to origins, is certainly fascinating. I must say that the beginning and first hours of the game are a bit strange and dispersive. But the story of the Courier and the Platinum Chip gave a reason to go on: it's very nice, retrace the events backwards, searching for clues, to find out the facts and the responsables who have tried to kill him and the reason why. This narrative device, among other things, is a concept almost identical to that used for the Van Buren project, or "Fallout 3 that has never been"; and it is right that it has been reproposed here. Regarding the thematics of the plot, New Vegas, definitely doesn't shine, even if they are very good. An eternal political and social struggle: NCR's liberal-conservative democratic but corrupt government, opposed to the strict, but efficient, military dictatorship of Caesar's Legion. Then there is authoritarian and economic pseudo-capitalistic power of Mr. House. And obviously there is the current that rejects the others: anarchy and self-management, to leave the city of New Vegas literally with "no gods, no masters". The whole plot is a political and social battle based on whole 20th century's history, as said. A plot and thematics certainly well structured.

    New Vegas' gameplay is certainly not new to those who have already experienced Fallout 3. There are in fact all the components that made the third chapter excellent, but with additions. Here some elements were reprocessed: the way to walk of the character is very much improved, weapons now allow to "aim down sight" with most of them. Firearm modifications are not many, but a good thing. Objects such as Workbench or Reloading bench are very useful. The karma system also has been rewritten: I can't tell if it actually is better or not but, in New Vegas, character's reputation, the karma in fact, varies according to different factions and the relationship the character has with them. No doubt it is a much more structured and complex system. The advancing of skill is the same, but some additions like the "Wild Wasteland" perk, are really original and give the game something more. New Vegas' map is quite extensive and there are many interesting places to explore. "Hard Core" mode is a great addition, and a good challenge for those who want more. The different endings and choices have been well studied, and every game path you choose has its own pros and cons that inevitably, and rightly, sooner or later come into conflict. It's a rather improved gameplay, that's pretty obvious.

    The graphics component of New Vegas, is good. Sure, compared to Fallout 3, it has aged, but still knows how doing its job. New Vegas' typical "western" art style is great, although a little excessive in some cases. The soundtrack is full of new songs, and once again it is good to listen and rediscover the classics of old music.

    Fallout: New Vegas is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It is fun to play, has a nice plot, and it's nice to be seen and listened. So why it's not better than Fallout 3, despite many improvements? Simple: because Fallout 3...is Fallout 3. Those who want to understand, will understand it.    … Expand

    I like open world games, I like RPGs and I like westerns. So this game is a dream come true. I am the biggest fallout fan that I know and I bow down to Bethesda and Interplay for creating a fantastic series. I've played all of the fallout games,even Brotherhood of Steel on PS2. So I mean it when I say that Fallout: New Vegas is, in ranking, the 4th worst and the 4th best. Don't get meI like open world games, I like RPGs and I like westerns.

I've played all of the fallout games,even Brotherhood of Steel on PS2. So I mean it when I say that Fallout: New Vegas is, in ranking, the 4th worst and the 4th best. Don't get me wrong it's still a very good game but it has issues.

    Gameplay in New Vegas is a bit similar to Fallout 3's gameplay but with a few added features. You can play from either a 3rd or 1st person perspective and explore this huge open world that is the Mojave Wasteland. You will find tons of stuff to do in the wasteland and it's probbly the 2nd biggest Fallout game, considering content (behind Fallout 2.) It adds a hardcore mode which turns the game into a surrvival game where you need to drik, eat, limbsdon't heal automatically but instead heal over time, doctor's bags are the only things that can heal limbs. I really like the addition of the hardcore mode and I find it a shame that they cut it out of fallout 4. So aside from that change the gameplay is the same as Fallout 3 however it crashed more than Fallout did and it has more glitches than Fallout 3 did and this happened on a regular basis around once an hour which is probably my biggest complaint about the game. Bethesda please patch this.

    The story in New Vegas is that you're a courier who was delivering a package only for a guy to come over,shoot you in the head and leave you for dead. But, you're patched up by a doctor of a local settlement and you then set out to find the guy wh shot you and take back your package. Yes, this story has been done quite a few times but the story changes partway through and feels like one of the most epic stuff I've ever done. I'm not going to spile anything though, all I'm ging to say is it changes about 5 quests in. So the opening plot isn't good but the second plot is amazing. Also, like other Fallout games, you can meander off and do side quests but I tend to not do that as I prefer to get the main quest out of the way so there's nothing to get in my way.

    Grahics are good but could easily be better. It deffinately looks like a wasteland and everything looks like what it's meant to be but all I'm going to say is thank god the modders stepped in. Sound is amazing. If you're wandering around the wasteland in the evening, you can hear crickets and wildlife and in the morning you can hear crows, people socialising and all sorts.

    There isn't much need for replay value as you won't be able to start again due to you still being busy discovering new things in the wasteland. For example, this game has been out since 2010 and I just discovered 3 weeks ago, a deathclaw camp which I never knew abou before and wsas on for a solid 40 minutes fighting them with my 2 followers (Boone and ED-E.) You will easily sink over 200 hours into this (I played this on PS3 before that's why there isn't as much hours on my account)

    I highly reccomend Fallout New Vegas even if you've touched a video game. It's a great western, a great open world game and a great RPG and an OK survival game (in hardcore mode.)    … Expand

    First of all, this review is based on my experience playing this game. I will base this on three categories, Story, Game play, and Graphics. They will be rated on a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Depending on the overall quality and how it affects the enjoyment of the game. When it came to Fallout 3, it was groundbreaking, intuitive and overall a huge step up from other fallout games.First of all, this review is based on my experience playing this game. I will base this on three categories, Story, Game play, and Graphics. They will be rated on a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Depending on the overall quality and how it affects the enjoyment of the game. When it came to Fallout 3, it was groundbreaking, intuitive and overall a huge step up from other fallout games. Bethesda did a really good job. But now the adventure goes to the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout New Vegas. Will the sequel to the popular RPG stand up on it's own feet, or does it flop?

    STORY: For those who don't know, Fallout New Vegas is a shooter role playing game with an apocalyptic feel to it all. The whole history is there. In 2077, mankind blew up the whole world with nuclear warfare. (Yes, this game is in the future) Amidst all this carnage, mankind was able to persevere and start rebuilding life in a nuclear hellhole. You are a courier, someone who delivers packages from point a to point b. Your job was to deliver a package to New Vegas, a city completely unharmed from the nuclear fire. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. You are attacked on the way there. A man named Benny, and a group of un-friendlies stole your package, and shot you in the forehead. And that's how your story BEGINS. (Not the greatest way to begin a story, but it's original, i'll give it that much.) Now you are fully recovered and out for revenge; to kill Benny and deliver the package. The story was very well done, with twists in the plots that weren't predictable. It really contributed to the game to me. Thumbs Up. Game play: Remember the game play mechanics from Fallout 3? You will certainly recognize them in New Vegas. All of your mechanics from Fallout 3 are in this game from weapon/armor conditions and repairs, to how you get around using the fast-travel system. The biggest change? Hardcore mode. This really puts a spin on survival. Hardcore mode adds a few extra perks to the game play, the biggest of which is the Hydration, Food and sleep bars. you need to stay hydrated, eat food and sleep, or else you'll gain penalties and overall perish. Ammo has weight (Which kills me more than lack of water), and you can't fast travel if you don't have enough water and food to get there. Oh yeah, and stimpacks no longer heal instantly, so you have to be sure you're ready to fight and not depend on needles. It adds a great perk to this game. Unfortunately, Fallout New Vegas has problems too. While i played the game, i came across multiple times when it would freeze to finish loading a new part of the world, and even more times when the game just... froze. Just stopped working in general, which is a total pain in the neck when you are traveling. Also, the sound effects can be delayed for a second or two from time to time. Hardcore mode was a definite plus to this game, but the number of bugs in this game is so substantial, that it really takes away from the game. If only they took more time to fix them. I would happily wait another month for a more polished game. Thumbs Down.

    Graphics: Guess what. Fallout New Vegas has the exact same graphics as Fallout 3. I'm not saying that's not really a bad thing. The graphics in Fallout 3 were just fine, so i'm not complaining that the graphics are bad. I'm just pointing out the fact that after a year and a half, it makes no sense not to upgrade the graphics. The hard ware was there. And the characters? They are better, which is a nice change from Fallout 3. I gotta admit, even though the graphics are outdated, it didn't hurt the overall feel of the game. So it doesn't affect my rating. Thumbs up. OVERALL: Fallout New Vegas is a great sequel that stands up on it's own feet. Although the game has many bugs, it's nothing the developer team can't fix with an update or two. When it comes down to the overall look and feel of the game, why fix what isn't broken?

    Some people call Fallout New Vegas an add-on to Fallout 3 in a box, some call it a broken beta. and to those people i ask this question. Why are you complaining about a sequel that plays like the original, or has some bugs? It's still a great game that is worth the money.    … Expand

    I fell in love with Fallout 3 and had high hopes and expectations for this newest journey into the atomic wastelands, so I hope you won't fault this fan for docking a point after four days of gameplay with a few frustrations.

    I love the familiar feel and play that I experienced in Fallout 3, but I agree with my fellow reviewers and critics and am hoping that you will work feverishly to make some second half adjustments to some seemingly minor irritations and bugs.

    First, we spend a lot of time hauling ass over the Wastelands. Is it too much to ask for some radio variety? Just sayin'. Second, there have been some very odd bugs and freezes (I'm on the PS3 version). I had one game freeze where I had to reboot the entire system. Thankfully the ingame save system does a decent job and I wasn't too far away from where it froze.

    I LOVE the new creatures (damn you, geckos!) and the characters I've met so far are interesting and engaging. The Nightkins freaked me out pretty good. Nice.

    All this said, I haven't even reached The Strip yet, so I'm still pretty excited about the possibilities.

    Will you be fixing some things? Will there be patches? Sincerely,

The inclusion of factions is a revelation, the new combat system (iron sights in particular) is great, hardcore mode is unforgiving, and the overall depth of the storyline/world as a whole is amazing. Forget all the talk about glitches and outdated graphics, in a world of 10-hour single player games fallout new vegas is more than just a game, it is an incredible, immersive experience, a world of unexpected twists and turns in which the minor 'glitches' fade into oblvivion in the face of what is a truly great achievment in gaming.

    In spite of being rather familiar, Fallout New Vegas provides steady improvements that make an experience that whilst unreasonably buggy at times-manages to retain all the love that fallout 3 had carried. This isn't up to Fallout 3's standars but provides enough reason for any fan who wants to break the ban in all the casinos that new vegas offers.

    You have to like Fallout 3 to enjoy New Vegas. It is VERY similar with no BIG changes. Its a great game, it just needed some polishing in regards to bugs, glitches and lag. Hopefully an update comes out to smooth out the wrinkles and calm everyone down. Its just such a big world with so much going on. This is one of the best games out for your money.

    First of all, screw all the the users that take the bugs and use them as a reason for such a low score. If any of you understand how difficult it is to code and design such a massive game as fallout and still have everything work at the end of the day, then you know this game deserves rave reviews. Old engine: check, slightly glitchy: check, rather incredible in terms of fun + humor + wellFirst of all, screw all the the users that take the bugs and use them as a reason for such a low score.

Straight up, the glitches are the only thing holding out my 10, too bag they didn't get a little more time to work them out before the game went gold. Buy it and enjoy the near endless hours of badassery.… Expand

    A wild ride, and worth the price of admission, but you've been on this one before. [December 2010 p71]

    The technology of the newest part of the fallout series is over aged and besides the hardcore mode and the reputation-system, the new features of New Vegas are manageable. But altogether, New Vegas is a successful new part and not just an add-on, with more than 100 hours of gaming, an interesting story and a new setting to explore.
