    Graphics feels dated but other than that this game is still amazing today. Has 4 endings that feel very different and will make you want to replay the game again and again. Your connect with the companions also go far deeper than most modern games and takes multiple playthrough to complete all companion quests. In my top 3 of all time.

The mostly open world is interesting and finding new locations is great but there is not much variety in environment since most of the map is just a wasteland. This overall immersion of this game is lessened by a few bugs, invisible walls and the game crashing every so often as well. Also although the side quests were mostly amazing with a interesting pathways, sometimes when you discover a location or kill an important character other characters do not react- like when I found the Brotherhood of steel location there was not option to inform the NCR in the dialogue section.

    Brilliant game with amazing build variety. A vast world packed full of interesting stories and hidden locations. Narrative flexibility that is nearly unheard of and involved reputation systems. Fun and unique loot to find and interesting moral or political questions. The game is pretty ugly nowadays but its content holds up. Game is also pretty buggy and exploitable.

    Fallout: New Vegas stands as a testament to the power of immersive gameplay, gripping storytelling, and unparalleled player choice. From the moment you step foot into the vast and post-apocalyptic Mojave Wasteland, you'll be captivated by the ingenious gameplay mechanics and the meticulously crafted world.

    Let's start with the gameplay mechanics and open-world exploration. It's clear    Fallout: New Vegas stands as a testament to the power of immersive gameplay, gripping storytelling, and unparalleled player choice. From the moment you step foot into the vast and post-apocalyptic Mojave Wasteland, you'll be captivated by the ingenious gameplay mechanics and the meticulously crafted world.

    Let's start with the gameplay mechanics and open-world exploration. It's clear that the developers poured their heart and soul into creating a gameplay experience that is both ingenious and addicting. The combat system strikes a balance between skill and strategy, providing engaging encounters with a variety of weapons and tactics. The RPG elements, such as the S.P.E.C.I.A.L. system and the many various perks, allow for character customisation and playstyle diversity. Furthermore, the open world itself is a labor of love, brimming with character, detail, and a sense of history. Every location, from the sprawling New Vegas Strip to the desolate outskirts, feels meticulously handcrafted, inviting you to uncover its secrets and immerse yourself in its rich lore.

    Moving on to the storyline and quest design, Fallout: New Vegas shines brightly. The game presents an exceptionally crafted narrative, where your choices and actions shape the outcome of the world around you. The main storyline, filled with political intrigue and moral dilemmas, keeps you engaged and invested from start to finish. Additionally, the side quests are a true highlight, offering memorable characters, complex branching paths, and surprising twists. The level of freedom provided to the player is unparalleled, allowing you to forge alliances, manipulate factions, and determine the fate of the Mojave Wasteland.

    Characters and companion interactions in Fallout: New Vegas are nothing short of exceptional. The wasteland is populated with a diverse cast of memorable and fully fleshed-out characters, each with their own motivations, backstories, and agendas. The depth of the writing and voice acting brings them to life, making you genuinely care about their well-being and forging strong connections. The companions, in particular, add another layer of depth to the game, as their loyalty and interactions with the player character create dynamic and impactful relationships.

    Visually, Fallout: New Vegas effectively captures the gritty and desolate atmosphere of a post-apocalyptic world. While the graphics may not be cutting-edge by today's standards, the visual design succeeds in creating an immersive and believable world. The attention to detail in environmental design, from the dilapidated buildings to the irradiated landscapes, adds a sense of realism and depth to the experience.

    Role-playing and player choice are where Fallout: New Vegas truly excels. The game grants you an unparalleled level of agency, allowing you to shape your character's path and influence the world around you. The choices you make carry weight and consequence, affecting not only your personal story but also the fate of various factions and settlements. The branching storylines and multiple endings give the game immense replay value, as each playthrough offers a unique experience based on your decisions and playstyle.

    Sound design and music in Fallout: New Vegas are nothing short of phenomenal. The soundtrack, featuring a blend of iconic retro tunes and atmospheric compositions, sets the tone for the game perfectly. The ambient sounds of the wasteland, from the howling winds to the distant gunfire, create a sense of immersion and contribute to the overall atmosphere.

    In terms of overall enjoyment and replay value, Fallout: New Vegas delivers on every front. The ingenious gameplay mechanics, exceptional storyline and quest design, immersive atmosphere, and unforgettable characters make it an absolute masterpiece. The game grants players an unprecedented level of freedom and choice, ensuring that each playthrough offers a fresh and rewarding experience.    … Expand

    Probably my favourite game and the best Fallout game there is. Lots of weapons, clothes, quests, endings, epic and detailed faction, improved companion mechanics (those in Fallout 3 were horrible) and better animations that actually make sense. Plus the DLCs are extremely fun too. Badass weapons and armors aswell.

    Open World - The open world is just, old town, old town, and more old towns. The Nevada desert is boring. It’s all rocks and old roads. Kinda like in real life but still. The best place in the game is New Vegas that takes you half the game to get to it.

    Combat - If person has better stuff than you then you lose. At least make it so if you’re good at the game you can beat them.

    Conclusion- The game is overrated but I would recommend anyone who likes RPG’s and old 360 Xbox games to try Fallout New Vegas out and ignore my opinion.    … Expand

    Absolute amazing game. I never really got into Fallout 4, i purchased New Vegas after hearing people talk about how amazing it was comparing it to fallout 4 (around the time Fallout 4 released). I did not know how far into the game I would get but it turns out I fell in love with it. The love I had for this game transferred to the whole Fallout franchise I would recommend this game to anyone.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Had this on Xbox 360 back in the day but never finished it as hit a roadblock on the DLC where I had no ammo and could not escape and no saves to backtrack enough.
    Now playing again on my Steam Deck and hoping between this and FO3 and FO4.

    Many people prefer this to Fallout 3 in terms of the story and action improvements but I prefer Fallout 3 just slightly.

    Trying to play to all fractions can be very difficult and despite my best efforts to middle road it as long as possible I am now vilified by 2 fractions and basically forced me to kill Caesar and close off a significant part of the story on this play through.
    I'll keep going for now but I have a save from earlier that I will probably go back to once I have completed this playthrough and see how it develops because this didn't happen on my Xbox 360 playthrough and can be significantly different.

    It's a world of endless possibilities and storylines all over the place.

    Obsidians magnum opus falls just short of pure perfection because of Bethesda's intervention.

    Fallout New Vegas, set in the Mojave wastes is a game that both improves and builds upon what Bethesda did with Fallout 3, and while it's still held back by technical limitations and time constraints, New Vegas is nothing short of a masterpiece. Obsidians work here is amazing, there are so many moving parts all working in tandem to create a world that feels far more alive than Washington, or even the Commonwealth or Virginia in its successors. It's truly something that needs to be experienced first hand to truly understand.

    The main factions in the game consist of The New California Republic, Caesars Legion and Mr. House, all of which feel fleshed out and real. The NCR are the closest thing in the wasteland to an old world government, trying to bring everybody together to create a new world like the old one, however they're struggling, they're spread too thin and can't keep the peace, many people in the Mojave don't agree with their tax laws and government, but maybe you could turn that around, or if taxes aren't your thing, there's always Caesars Legion, a Neo Roman empire built off the ideals of Rome, they want to unite the wasteland under a single banner, to become one, no matter how many people they have to butcher, crucify, enslave or torture to get there. They're inarguably the most "evil" faction, but if you like 300, and crucifixion, do I have a faction for you! Thirdly is House, definitely the smartest of all the faction leaders, smart enough to make his army out of subservient robots rather than people, and smart enough that he's the only one with a real plan, but his plan only includes the New Vegas Strip, the rest of the wasteland is left to fend for itself while House builds his personal empire. Finally there's... You, the final faction is you, and a very nice Robot called Yes Man, together you can help free the Mojave of the NCR, the Legion and House, creating an independent wasteland.

    The reason I've spent so long describing each faction, is because this is where I feel New Vegas shines the brightest, each faction is painted in varying degrees of grey, nobody is necessarily good, it's all about who's the least bad, which is a question still generating discussion even today, nearly 11 years later. In short, this is why I think Fallout New Vegas is such a special game, the only reason I haven't scored it a straight 10, is because... well it's kinda broken beyond belief.

    See Obsidian weren't exactly given all the time in the world to create New Vegas, so while I still believe it's a masterpiece, it's very much an unpolished masterpiece. Enemies warping through the floor, body parts disappearing, entire questlines bugging out and becoming unfinishable, all here and accounted for, I sure hope you like spending over 20 hours one game only for your desired Faction to randomly become inaccessible because an essential NPC refuses to talk to you, because that's happened to me, and it's not fun. This is something that can be fixed on PC with mods, but unfortunately for us console peasants, these are potentially game breaking, and because of that I can only ever recommend you play Fallout New Vegas on PC, the Console experience is just too unstable.

    Overall, New Vegas is a masterclass of the RPG genre, it's the best Fallout post-Bethesda buyout and likely will be forever, a game I can go back to endlessly and talk about even more.    … Expand

    The game is full of bugs, after 10 years. But most of these bugs are just annoying nuisances. The story is, well it's as good as any of the bethesda games'. The lore is brilliant and the characters are well written. The atmosphere is one of the best. All in all it could have been the greatness in rpg history, but the rishing made it fall short of that

    Ah... Good old Fallout New Vegas!
    After playing Outer Worlds, I've decided to go back and replay New Vegas. Although I did have an excellent time with the game (again), some issues prevented it from being as good as its predecessors (again).
    New Vegas is familiar to anyone who played Fallout 3. It's basically a glorified expansion of that game, with a few twitches here and there. But    Ah... Good old Fallout New Vegas!

    New Vegas is familiar to anyone who played Fallout 3. It's basically a glorified expansion of that game, with a few twitches here and there. But that's not to say that this is a bad game!
    In the Mojave Wasteland you'll meet great characters, amazing new factions to connect with (or not), fine companions, interesting quests, crazy guns, mysterious areas, plenty of secrets and a VAST open world location to explore. And I'd like to reiterate: A HUGE world of possibilities!
    When it comes to gameplay, the combat may not shine, but I do believe that the V.A.T.S. system compensates for this. If you have played previous Fallout games, you probably know that this game is about talking your way through a problem instead of shooting your way out of it. But the greatest thing is that, if you want to shoot anything and anyone, well... Go ahead! The sheer freedom of choice in this game is insane. I don't think the story is as great as other games of the franchise, but the overwhelming amount of options and independence is astounding. Especially how they tackle the main quest. This, the personal sense of progression and the scale of things you can discover in New Vegas, make up for a great time.

    The problem with New Vegas is the fact that none of previous mistakes were fixed here. In fact, some of them got worse. This game is not polished at all! It's rough around ALL of its edges and it just gets more and more dated.
    It crashed CONSTANTLY, there were glitches EVERYWHERE, game breaking bugs around the corner of every decision/movement your character takes, maze-like dungeon design, annoying unnecessary filler fetch quests, slow combat system, cluttered UI, confusing quest objectives and a karma system that doesn't work properly. These are just a few of the problems you will encounter on your playthroughs, but I could go on...
    Also, although dialogues are well-written here, YOUR character's dialogue choices are very vague. Back in the day, that didn't bother me so much, but after games like Mass Effect 2, Witcher 3 and Outer Worlds, the lack of persona in your character is highly noticeable and quite awkward.
    And to think that this game came 2 years after Fallout 3... Things could have been better optimized, at least.

    Despite its jarring shortcomings and its overwhelming nature, Fallout New Vegas can still be a great experience. Not as good as the other games in the series, but I definitely recommend it, in case you want to scratch the Fallout itch or just play a bleak, but sprawling RPG.    … Expand

    The game history is your best part, the gameplay is like Fallout 3, the only thing that I don't like it it's the graphics, but still good 9/10

    Positives: The story is immaculate. The possibility of creating a truest deep character story with meaningful alliances creates a believable narrative with interesting side missions and side characters. Arguably has the best DLC of all time (Dead Money). Gameplay is fun and versatile. Highly replay value.

    Negatives: Glitches do taint some the game a little, but not by much.

И читая слёзно-сопливо-благодарственные отзывы фанатов первой и второй частей, решил высказать своё мнение о Vegase. Которое разительно отличается от оценок "игра года" или "шедевр".

По этому следующей игрой этой вселенной для меня стал, естественно, New Vegas. И читая слёзно-сопливо-благодарственные отзывы фанатов первой и второй частей, решил высказать своё мнение о Vegase. Которое разительно отличается от оценок "игра года" или "шедевр".
    И так сюжет. Меня он огорчил больше всего. Короче Obsidian, зачем то сделали разделение сюжета. Если в третьей части сюжет был, скажем так, стволом с ответвляющимися от него доп. заданиями, в New Vegasе в середине игры тебя заставляют делать выбор, на чьей ты стороне. После чего ты можешь отыграть квесты только выбранной стороны, теряя связь с другими (я насчитал три ветви) фракциями, так как они автоматом становятся враждебными тебе. То есть пройти игру на 100% с первого раза не возможно!
    Теперь сами фракции. Они стали, какими то не серьёзными. Если в трёшке были "Анклав" или "Братство стали", здесь какие то "Легион Цезаря" и ещё эти Секьюритроны, хорошо их из четвертой части выкинули.
    Ролевая система была, как то урезана. Перки теперь выдаются только за четный уровень. Почему? Зачем? Хз.
    Так же локализация меня не порадовала. Вместо озвучки оставили только субтитры, а это для меня сильно снизило погружение, что для рпг крайне важно!
    И самое главное атмосфера. В New Vegasе, лично для меня, она куда-то улетучилась. Вместо столичной пустоши нас помещают в пустыню, в которой э.... как то пусто. Если в трешке я бродил по довольно узнаваемым руинам, заглядывая за каждую дверь и думая кого я там встречу: мутантов, гулей или вампиров. То в Vegasе я большую часть времени проводил в обустроенных городках либо в э...... пустыне, в которой пусто. Короче было не интересно.
    К тому же если считать количество изначальных багов, некоторые, из которых делали игру не проходимой, вывод напрашивается сам собой.
    А вообще ни визуально, ни геймплейно игра не показала мне ничего нового. Ну, если не считать систему выживания, которую можно отключить в меню и возможность сменить цвет интерфейса.
    Для меня Fallout New Vegasе игра проходняк. Жаль только, что Bethesda пошла по этому пути и в четвертой части сделала этот чертов разделяющийся сюжет, не дающий пройти игру полностью. Например, работая на одних и шпионя под прикрытием для других. Жаль.    … Expand

    This game is truly a blast. Yes, it was a very buggy release and of course that is not acceptable, Obsidian was only given 18 months to make a massive game and story and they killed in most aspects. I really wish Obsidian got that stupid 85 score on metacritic in order to earn their bonus. I certainly feel they earned it.

This is an explorer's game, always lavishing new and interesting quests on you and giving you a lot of flexibility in how you approach many of them.

    fallout new Vegas is a fantastic game for fans of the rpg video games
    for starters i feel this game was more challenging to play then fallout 3 since you only got a perk once every second level instead of every level you also got given less skill points and on top of all that the enemies overall where more difficult to kill then they where in fallout 3 for me this was great since the    fallout new Vegas is a fantastic game for fans of the rpg video games

    this was a fantastic change for me i can,t say the same thing for everyone though but if you do find this game getting a bit to hard for you there,s always the option to lower the difficulty setting
    hardcore mode is another thing you can turn on for a more immersive experience in this mode you gotta manage your characters hunger thirst and sleep ammunition takes up carry weight and healing items take time to take effect combined with the very hard difficulty setting you got a really challenging game
    however one complaint i do have is that i feel like the ammunition for energy weapons are to heavy to use for hardcore mode in terms of practicality
    in turns of graphics theirs not much to talk about since this game uses the same game engine as fallout 3 with the same quality graphics while it,s not much off a problem for me it,s worth noting none the less
    their are quite a few new weapons and armor to use in this game along with some weapons and armor that where also in fallout 3
    more ways to repair your armor and weapons now with the introduction of the weapon repair kit you can earn these as quest rewards in game and you can also craft them from commonly found materials however you can,t repair your armor with them and theirs no armor version of one the only way you can repair your armor is either paying an npc to do it for you which is very expensive or find the same version of the armor and repair your armor using that piece of armor as spear parts if you get the jury rigging perk though this is much easier to manage
    combat for the most part is the same as it was in fallout 3
    the story was fascinating and overall i found it was an improvement to fallout 3 great story
    skills other then speech do matter more in this game then fallout 3 when talking to npcs though dialog speech still is a big part of it though
    now i talk about the down sides
    unfortunately i found this game crashed more often then fallout 3 did i had 10+ crashes during my play through so make sure to save your progress regularly theirs also more bugs and glitches then i expected to see as well certainly more bugs in this game then in fallout 3 its only because of these problems that i just could not give this game a 10 out of 10 rating but regardless still a fantastic game go pick it up    … Expand

I do not like the endings not so much from a writing perspective, but much because you cannot continue you on where Broken Steel did if so clumsily. Add to that the faction system and your map is now segmented into territories where you feel like a true loner and outcast to everyone. As a teen playing this and coming off of the outstanding breadth of Fallout's 3 content I was very disappointed. As an adult with a more critical eye to the gaming world I love, I have a new outlook of Fallout New Vegas; it's pretty fantastic.

    Fallout New Vegas really tests your abilities constantly and the decisions you make in the game can actually have a more powerful effect on the overall story than 3 could ever hope. If you like stories and writing in games and you had to choose between Fallout 3 or New Vegas, then New Vegas would be picked near instantly for me. What 3 does better I think is exploration, but that's not to say New Vegas lacks this: there is alot to explore and find in New Vegas, it's just the feel and freedom of 3 made it more adventurous.

    The expansions (as I score this based on the game and all expansions together) are very good to even amazing. There really is a quality in writing that makes the characters in those expansions so memorable and interesting. Really, the expansions can easily rival 3's and even surpass them in some areas (such as Dead Money to Operation Anchorage). If you love Fallout 3, you should play New Vegas if you haven't despite it being almost 7 years old. It's a game that can really up the ante on survival and deliver good moments that gamers can feel awesome for.    … Expand

    Pros:
    - The world feels alive and connected; each location has meaning, every action you take often affects NPCs in their attitudes or actions towards you
    - Excellent character building; play exactly how you want to play. Sneak up on people and drop grenades in their pants? Go ahead. Pop a super mutant's dome from a mile away? Give it your best shot. Almost any play style (even often non violent) is supported.
    - Hardcore mode is an excellent addition; though keeping yourself hydrated and fed isn't challenging, it lends to a more immersive world view. It removes many of the 'gamey' elements of Fallout 3 and replaces them with more realistic alternatives
    - Interesting and engaging story line and factions, giving the player actual motivation to care about their actions, outside of a karma meter. Reputation matters
    - The freedom; never have I felt so in control of the direction of a game. Though there is one path I was upset that I couldn't follow near the end of the game, overall I felt as though I could do whatever I wanted and change the world around me
    - Crafting has been opened up immensely

    Cons:
    - Crashing. Constantly. Every fast travel or room change - any loading screen whatsoever - is a chance for the game to crash. I lost count after a while, but I ended far too many play sessions on a frozen loading screen. At least two dozen times.
    - Corrupted save files. Tied to the last, 3 times my autosave file was corrupted. Thankfully I keep multiple saves (and you should too) or else I would have lost my game 50+ hours in.
    - Smaller bugs throughout; characters not having the dialogue options you need to continue a quest, characters not being where they are supposed to be, enemies spawning in under the environments - just a huge load of small bugs
    - Far too few character models and voice actors - seems like they settled on about a half dozen of each

    Mixed bag:
    - NPCs are occasionally brilliant and interesting, but just as many are boring and utterly generic and forgettable.
    - The music tracks selected for the radio stations are excellent in tone and quality, but stations themselves seem to repeat on a fifteen minute loop, meaning hearing the same songs over and over. A bigger selection would have been welcome

    Fallout: New Vegas is a brilliantly designed game that is the epitome of what a player is after in a role playing game. I felt truly immersed in the deep and living world, although I often was pulled out and plunged into frustration when the game crashed yet again on me. Though a good heap of patience will be required to overcome the bugs, beneath the glitchy exterior lies one of the best open world games ever created.    … Expand

    I'm sure the whole 1950s style but in the future thing was cute for the first game, but its a pretty tired idea. The background music is truly, deeply, awful and not even in a quirky retro way, it almost made me switch it off and give up (thank you independent volume settings). The plot is pretty vague in the game too, and the world as constructed just doesn't make sense.

How do you buy into a world which 200 years after the apocalypse still hasn't managed to repair a single building or road, plant a field or apply a lick of paint to a single wall? Its not convincing. And that pippy armband thing that is the menu interface is like using windows 3.1. This lack of attention to detail turns what could have been a great game with a few flaws (Skyrim, GTA, etc.) into just another adequate game that could have been more.… Expand

    Fallout: New Vegas is an amazing and exhilarating RPG. To start off, the atmosphere and setting are truly breathtaking. The game takes place in Nevada that has places like Las Vegas (New Vegas) and the Hoover Dam. Besides there being major landmarks, there are tons, and I mean tons of places to explore that are all equally worth exploring. The story is also great.

Besides there being major landmarks, there are tons, and I mean tons of places to explore that are all equally worth exploring. The story is also great. The main quests are fun and interesting, and there are choices that the player needs to make that'll affect the main questline and ending so choose wisely. There are tons of side quests to do in this game too, which are all great in there own way. The only complaint I have about some quests is that they conflict with each other; if I complete one quest, then I may not be allowed to do another, or I complete a quest and I automatically fail a quest I never even knew about. The gameplay itself is absolutely fantastic. There are tons of guns and armor to use, the leveling system is really good and there's hardcore mode. In this mode, the player needs to actually drink water, eat food, sleep to survive, and be more cautious of the environment overall, it's an incredible feature that adds to the game. The biggest complaint I have about this game is the bugs and glitches. V.A.T.S. (combat system that freezes time to allow you to attack your enemy) doesn't always work and my character stands there and does nothing, enemies spawn out of nowhere, and objects disappear and fall through the floor. Also, my game will frequently crash and saves become corrupt, which is really frustrating. Another minor thing is that the graphics aren't improved at all compared to Fallout 3. It's been two years, so I would think the developers would improve the graphics. Fallout: New Vegas is an amazing RPG, but its technical flaws make it frustrating to play at times.… Expand

    Ah this game is pretty crap. I've just started playing fallout 3 again and it just shown how crap nv is. The graphics r nowhere near as good. Just lacks the detail of F3.

Another big dissapointed is the lack of indoor locations it's mostly buildings you can even explore. It's also buggy as hell with one having you raise your gun in this weird movement which happens all the time. Wish Bethesda would take this and do it properly cos parts of the story are ok. Although the lack of ghouls n mutants n all the numerous factions are rubbish. When compared to the amazing 10/10 Fallout 3 this is a poor 5 at BEST.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok, I love Fallout 3. I'm addicted to it, but after playing the tutorial 4 times and having someone in the first city clip through the ground there is no hope for this game at all. Everytime said person catches me stealing when no one is around and I end up having to kill the quest givers. Game is highly unplayable due to glitches… Expand

    Several years after it has been released, I found the game to still have some bug issues, but nothing game breaking to keep you from playing it. I didn't get into Fallout 3 because the game was so boring as it was not on the interactive level of Bethesda's TES, nor was it on that level of graphics and artstyle. Fallout New Vegas is just the same as Fallout 3 in these regards.

Fallout New Vegas is just the same as Fallout 3 in these regards. And unlike, TES series, you don't level up in this game as you spend more time doing certain attributes. You have to wait until you get enough XP and then put points into those skills. Also, it's not an easily traverseable area to roam in. This sandbox seems to be more restrictive in roaming as you find yourself having to traverse a U shaped map with small corridors along the sides. I just couldn't get excited about playing this game as it takes forever to level up and, just like Fallout 3, I felt like the loneliest person in the world. Ho hum, guess I'll be heading back out collecting bottle caps and ashtrays. Maybe kill a stray mutant, or two along the way.… Expand

    this game is the perfect example of how quality content outweighs any problems with bugs/graphics. Yes the game is very buggy but being regular on the saving is an easy way past this problem but those bugs can be easily overlooked when you see the imagination that has gone into this game, it is a must play of the generation.

Now a lot of people rate this game higher than it's predecessor and I do feel the characters have had the most attention but I feel the restriction at the start of the game (not being able to head north) makes the game feel a bit linear (reason it misses out on game of the year) and although side quests and locations are dotted along the path to New Vegas the game just doesn't have the sense of freedom that Fallout 3 had. All this being said it is still a top notch videogame and all the other stuff you loved from Fallout 3 is still here (like the crazy huge and imaginative arsenal available). I believe New Vegas should be mentioned among the elite of this generation.… Expand

    I can remember my excitement when I was in 8th grade and saw the first trailer. I probably didn't shut up about the game for three days. The second it went up for pre-order I had my mom rush me to the nearest Gamestop to reserve the collectors edition.

The game released three days before my birthday which i share with the anniversary of the nuclear war. As being the huge fan boy i am I had to own it along with my fallout 3 collectors edition (which im proud to be a owner of). Now its been years since it released, but i need to give my truthful opinion. When i first played I was obsessed playing nothing different for a month straight. Now my love has turned bitter as i begin to resent this game. BETHESDA WHAT DID YOU DO! First of all karma is pointless, just forget it exist it has ZERO impact on the game it;s just there to say hey you haven't stole anything. I heard zero comments from people about how i was a messiah. It's replaced by faction which was kinda cool i guess. The second thing that annoys me the brother hood of steel is a second faction. Why i love them and they always play the major role, but not this time. You can either choose the Caeser Legion, NCR, Mr. House, or yourself. Caeser Legion, are based of the Roman empire, they are made of conquered tribes and are evil and enslave people. I don't like them, i prefer to be a hero. NCR or the New California Republic are an attempt to recreate the old world. They may seem perfect, but they have their skeletons in the closet (but so does the U.S. government). And Mr. house, he just wants to protect the strip from the invading factions and stay independent. Finally work for yourself, no one bosses you around you choose who lives and who dies. In the end this game doesn't live up to it's old counter parts it's not awful, neither is it perfect. I would say pick it up it is cheap and i wont lie i have over 1000 hours in it (i love this series too much).… Expand

    Firstly if your expecting a fps, this is not it, but a RPG that is pretty stellar.

    Pros: Choices. They matter, want to kill the deuchebag main character? You can, want to kill strippers for some reason, you can. Heaps of factions to choose from all with interesting back stories. Different endings that are summed up well. Level tree. Diverse and you max out everything skill by the end.

    Animations. Out dated, bad facial animations, awkward time stopping conversations.    … Expand

    Until Fallout: New Vegas gets a major patch that fixes the problems, it can only be recommended to gamers who have a high threshold for frustration.

    If you didn't enjoy Fallout 3 or are not a fan of RPGs in general, then you'll probably disagree with me. Everyone else should seriously consider taking a road trip to New Vegas.

    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.
