    One problem I had with Fallout 3 was that it felt like a grayscale painting, the environment and atmosphere were both dull, looks pretty repetitive, plain boring. Of course that's what you'll expect to see when your world gets nuked.

Of course that's what you'll expect to see when your world gets nuked. Anyway, New Vegas tries to deviate from the central theme of post-war survival and instead, centres its storyline around the politics of New Vegas and Hoover Dam. The gameplay is more or less the same, but the idea is, you'll be given a choice to work with whichever faction you wish, whether that's based on the faction's goals and objectives, or simply for your personal gains. There is a reputation system, if you help one group out, they'll like you better but this may cause adverse impact on other groups' perception of you. So choose wisely. The world is huge and there are tons to do and explore. Seeing that this is Vegas, you'll be able to gamble too. New Vegas is vibrant and is definitely a relief from the dull wasteland. Anyway, the story is not great but alright. If you loved Fallout 3, there's no reason to skip this one. Now, to the bad part... There's no real graphical/gameplay improvement from Fallout 3 but I'll try to understand that. The character creation mechanics remains primitive.But most of all, this game may win the most bugs (including game-breaking ones) in a PS3 game award. And the game always crashes!! Patches after patches the game still has them. All the time!! Argh! But despite so many bugs and crashes, I went back to my save file and play through all that again.... Why?!! Because it is Fallout, people!! If you'll be spending so much time on this huge open-world, what's an extra hour of replay? That said, I close by saying this game is highly addictive and offers much replay value. And I'm sure most of you will try to look pass the bugs and crashes because you'll be getting so much more out of New Vegas. Because war..... war never changes.… Expand

    Fallout 3 was amazing. Fallout New Vegas is a simple re-hash which was too buggy to enjoy at times.

    I believe the phrase that has been thrown around '60 dollar expansion pack' is pretty accurate (or at least the time the game was that much money).

    If you liked Fallout 3, I would generally recommend this game because it's just more of it. My favorite addition is the ability to gamble, as it serves as a great pastime between murdering crowds of Ghouls and Fiends. Also, with a great variety of DLC, Fallout: New Vegas is a trip worth taking.

    Better then Fallout 3 in terms of choses and story. Somehow the world felt a bit less interesting though.
    The worst problem however is the glitches and freezes and bugs. It was still playable but I never had any problems with Fallout 3.

I realised that there are massive amounts of bugs and crashes, the quests, locations are bland and all the same, the enemies are mediocre, the loading screens are too many and long, and travelling through the Mojave is tiring. Fallout 3 is a LOT better than New Vegas. Thanks a lot, Bethesda! :|… Expand

Overall they keep up the quality that FO3 had and surpass it in some areas, but like FO3 some of the quests are just boring. Now, the killer is the technical issues, I bought FO3 after much patching so I never had too many glitches besides crashing, but the technical errors are worse in NV, specifically the freezing becomes extremely frequent and annoying problems like companions getting stuck(fixed now-too bad it was months after ED-E got stuck in a wall and I'd given up and started a new character since I couldn't even start the DLC without having my companions dismissed) and companions guns dropping in casinos so you have to give them your own gun and ammo. This would all be fine on the PC version, but on the PS3 this stuff is so annoying. Some people don't like the feel, and I agree that Washington was an all around cooler place with more landmarks and the Enclave and Brotherhood were bigger in 3, but NV keeps them in and adds in more factions. Quests, guns, gunplay, companions, and existing skills are all improved upon, and everything else is at about the same quality as 3 or better, even in terms of unique guns, armor, and easter eggs NV surpasses 3. However 3 had a better setup with you starting in Vault 101, and a few more major characters like Three Dog and President Eden. Other than that NV wins hands down, I'm giving this a 9 because this lasted over 100 hours for me, and while it has it's problems it's still given me a ton of enjoyable playtime… Expand

    While not as good and atmospheric as Fallout 3, it still delivers a lot of great content to keep you playing for hours. The main story is pretty weak, but the combat and companion system have been tweaked. Worth checking out if you loved Fallout 3, but don't expect too much change in gameplay and graphics.

    I can understand that the numerous bugs and crashes that plagued this game was a huge turn off for many people. A couple of years have passed, most bugs (but not all) are solved, and the ultimate edition is great. If you like open world RPG's this is a must buy. I liked it more than Fallout 3.

    The game itself I felt was fine. It didn't have the depth of FO3, but still enjoyable. Some parts feel like more of the same. It almost could be a large DLC, versus a new game. Why I can only give this a 5 is because of all the bugs and most annoying, the frozen loading screen when changing areas. This made the game incredibly frustrating and ultimately I stopped playing before I finished. It was too annoying to have to constantly save. A major blemish in what would have been otherwise a fine game. FO3 had bugs too, but not game breaking ones like the PS3 version of FO:NV has.

    From what I understand, this is only a problem on PS3. It is very unfortunate. I've thought about buying the x360 version and call it a day, but the experience I had on PS3 ruined the game for me.    … Expand

    With a very different atmosphere than Fallout 3, FNV explores other exciting facets of the wastes and delivers hours of colourful game-play. However, the sheer amount of bugs and technical issues is hard to ignore and limits the game from reaching its true potential.

    Oh and the dog becomes AMAZING. you can evenm change his brain. the dr says pick a brain. And there's a handful of dogs in the game that each have different stats. But the DOG became too good and the balancing was off.. He was killing ALL the baddies..
    ---This game has two ABSOLUTELY AMAZING DLC's..Honest Hearts goes into the ebst story of the game and That's Cesaers former #1 lieutenant The Burning Man, and its set in a Arizona state park with beautiful red mountains and camping grounds. awesome. And the best weapon in the game is his awesome jacked up 45 automatic pistol..
    -The other awesome DLC was OLD WORLD BLUES. I found myself had stopped forwarding the plot in OLD WORLD BLUES and everynight I would do a coupl laps around the whole map Sniping and hunting for loot and repeat. It was set up soo perfect,,and the best sniper rifle in the game is in OWB--Christinas sniper its called. Its silenced and powerful. not .50 cal powewrful, but kills most in 1 shot, and every head shot is a kill, I say that basede on the higher level baddies, not a helmetless human, who every headshot is a kill...
    ---I went to buy The Force Unleashed2 that LUCKY DAY, and the clerk the store said he played Fallout Vegas all week and its addictive and he'll be playing it for another month atleast,,,but he made a great fact/point about TFU2, how fast I was gonna beats it and put it down. so true,. I bought Vegas and played it for 6 months STR8. The longest run ive had in my gaming history all the way back to the original Legend of Zelda and Metroid coming home from middle school...
    ----FACT-ANYONE who loved fallout 3 and has ANY ISSUES WITH VEGAS is nuts. the only thing better about Fallout 3 was the DJ Three-Dog and well the story was original. but it was pretty cool to go to Vegas as well..
    ---The Next Fallout game needs to leave the west coast totally and maybe goto Europe or Georgia or Texas.
    ---FACT BTW- VEGAS SURVIVED THE NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IN Fallout Vegas. I wont spoil HOW or why,, but the whole city is beautiful but dirty because theres no cleaners or window washing,,but all the hotels and casino's survived..
    --Plenty of abandoned Vaults to exlore with SUPER AWESOME STORIES of tragedy,humor, and success,.Th eone wheres the president/overseer is sacrificed after 1 year in office was soooo interesting and clever and funny.

    It's a really great game, despite its many flaws. It kept me playing for hundreds of hours over multiple playthroughs even though it feels half-assed at times.

    Cons:

    - This game has a very slow start that is probably off-putting to impatient players but trust me, it gets better.

    - The world isn't exactly "open." The lower part of the map loops around some mountains and you're basically forced to go in one direction at the beginning, and then the world opens up after a certain point, but it's filled with invisible walls and again, freakin' mountains (visible walls heh). HOWEVER this map structure is important for setting up the story.

    - I'm all for "gameplay > graphics" but cmon. How can a 2008 game (FO3) THAT USES THE SAME ENGINE have better graphics than a 2010 game. How. The environments are really dull, too. Oh, and the animations are terrible.

    - Ending could've been executed better.

    - Many things feel unfinished (like certain questlines, Legion comes to mind) and useless (like the survival skill, even on hardcore mode).

    - Speaking of which, hardcore mode would've worked much better if the game had the same survival aspect as FO3, and better companion AI. Instead you're gonna end up babysitting/leaving your companions to prevent them from dying and you won't ever starve to death unless you make it your personal agenda to ignore food.

    Now the good stuff:

    - Factions and reputation. I don't know any other game that does these things so well.

    - Branching storylines and multiple solutions for every quest (even side quests). Meaningful choices.

    - Every. NPC. Is. Killable. Well except one.

    - Same Fallout 3 gameplay, with the same awesome gore and even better weapons, and this time you can live without VATs, as there are iron sights.

    - Companions actually have personalities and sometimes comment on what happens in the game, and they all have their own storylines.

    - As a Fallout fan, the fact that this adds a lot to the amazing Fallout lore makes it even better.

    In terms of bugs, etc... I couldn't finish one quest and the game crashes every 3 hours or so (with the DLC installed, otherwise it runs fine for me). The DLC aren't included in this review btw.

    Being a fan of Fallout 3 doesn't mean you'll like New Vegas though. They might look the same but they're actually completely different games.

    I recommend this game to any RPG fan, specially fans of the original Fallouts, considering you can overlook the bad graphics and in some cases, bugs. It's fun, deep, and cracks you up from time to time.

I reloaded 10+ time at one single quest cause stuff kept going wrong (at some point the guy i was escorting got stuck halfway into a wall...). That being said, I still loved it even if it made me want to throw my PS3 out of the window a few times.… Expand

This game actually makes you interested in learning about the politics of the world, which has a lot to do with the story of the game. your decisions made an impact in the game but not quite enough to make you regret anything really. scavenging for food and weapons is a lot of fun and is part of what makes this game unique. most of the quests are fun but some are boring and don't feel worth doing. basicly, this is a great game that suffers from many minor issues that aren't big enough to make the game frustrating but could have definitely resulted in a better experience without them… 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.
