Fallout: New Vegas is an almost perfect RPG/FPS held back by also being completely broken at times. Obsidian are masters of writing and storytelling but are also masters of releasing buggy/broken games. I highly suggest that they hire better programmers but keep the writing staff. What makes New Vegas great is its open ended nature. There are many different ways to play this game and all are as valid as the other. In terms of gameplay New Vegas is a direct copy of Fallout 3 but with slight improvements, this isn't a bad thing although shooting and inventory management aren't what make this game great.

    There is so much to do in this game that it well justifies the price, There are many different ways to act out the main story and there are heaps of side quests as well to do, or you could just turn go wandering in the wasteland and see what you can find. Player involvement and immersion in this game are rivalled by few.

    Final Thoughts: I love this game and you will too if you give it a chance.    … Expand

    It kills me to say this it really does... I love this game! I love it! My genre that has always provided me with the most amazing gameplay is open world RPGs like Fallout.

I love this game! I love it! My genre that has always provided me with the most amazing gameplay is open world RPGs like Fallout. Bio-Ware and Bethesda are my go to open world RPG games. While hesitant to try out Fallout due to the fact that it has guns and I thought it was a typical FPS, the world of Fallout 3 and everything about it just hit home in a place where other games failed. There is a reason Fallout 3 is so high on the list of the greatest games of all time, it deserves to be there. Considering the footsteps New Vegas had to follow, I'd say its not a bad game. But I can't help but hate this game because I love it, don't worry I'll explain... I love this game! But the game won't let me play it! I haven't beat it yet, its 11/3/2013 and I haven't beaten it yet! First character completely corrupted save file, second character stuck at a part where every time I go through a certain door the game froze (going back to old saves didn't work cause its part of the story and this was the ONLY door in the room), now my last attempt my 3rd character and I can't load it. I don't know why, I am stuck in the infinite loop of loading screens. No matter what save file, no matter how many times I clear cache or delete the patch, INFINITE loading screen! For all saves!

    I love this game, I do! In some aspects it doesn't live up to Fallout 3 but in other aspects it excels where Fallout 3 didn't. It is a proper sequel with a great story, fun missions, plenty of places to explore, interesting characters, no hand holding, customizable guns gear skills and a highly detailed fully interactive world (detailed as in what is in it not the graphics). I always looked at Crysis 3 and CoD and said... you don't need graphics for a great game all you need a great game and Fallout 3 was my proof. I wish New Vegas could be added in there too.

    My only problem with this game are the bugs and glitches. Had they been funny or random stupid glitches that don't really mess up anything than it would be different. But bugs and glitches that destroy the game, crash constantly erasing progress, cause major save file corruption, break immersion and forces players to stop playing is really bad.

    Again... I love this game. I do, I would say its a great game.... if I could beat it finally. I am writing this right now staring at the infinite loading screen again cause I want to keep playing. But its hard to do that when the game won't let me.    … Expand

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).

    Pros: This game is very open ended and has tons of replay value.

    Cons: The story just isn't quite as good as Fallout 3. There are a few weird glitches too.

    Overall, this is a really fun game that is definitely worth playing (at least once).

    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

    Fallout: New Vegas is one of the best games I own. It has a beautiful wasteland full of treasure and danger. Powerful factions with varying ideals, advanced weaponry and armor, wacky and vicious enemies, and a few funny moments for some comic relief. What else could you want? Sadly, there are a few flaws. People don't really seem to express their emotions in their face the same way their voice does. Even after several years, there are still a few glitches and bugs that can be frustrating at times. But there are improvements over Fallout 3. You can have more control over your companions and they won't die. Your actions truly have an impact on the wasteland, and your choices affect how factions see you. For example, killing the leader of a faction will definitely anger them, and giving supplies to another faction will make them like you. Also, factions don't seem to be clearly "good" or "evil" and karma is not as significant. While I have not played the DLC, I have looked them up and they are a lot more closely tied to the main storyline. And Hardcore mode adds a new survival aspect where companions can die, and you need food, water, and sleep, and ammo has weight. If you are a true Fallout fan, or can tolerate an occasional glitch, then I highly recommend this.    … Expand

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

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

    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

    Sure, the game may be very glitchy, and has a BUNCH of bugs, but other than that, not only is it my favorite game, it's my favorite game of the series. And the DLC's are pretty good, but they could defiantly do better than what they chose the DLC's as. I also think they should have added some more references to other Fallout games.

    Fallout New Vegas is the game we need....but not the one we deserve. The story, open world, weapons, choices you can make, music, characters, and stuff you can find.

    At launch, Fallout New Vegas was a mess: constant bugs, crashes, corruptions and damning moments that made it for the longest time hard for me to see why people love it even until to this day.

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.

I like how there is different factions and depending on how you interact with one faction it influences the other factions view of you. I love how if you wear one factions armor the others faction will act differently depending on the faction armor. My one complaint is that the ending is not open ended which there is no reason why it shouldn't but it is overshadowed by the good. It's a blast to play so add it to your collection.… Expand

    It's ok. Gameplay mostly lets this game down. What I mean by gameplay is mostly the healing system. It introduces a new regeneration healing system and this makes eating and using health items very confusing. Of course (as in any Fallout), the map and story is amazing.

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    Truly one of the best RPGs of all time. I am personally not crazy into Fallout as Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 both bored me, but New Vegas is just something else. A must play.

    Jogo excelente consegue separar facilmente o Fallout 3... mas ambos muitos bons... mas este se supera.

    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.
    Get yourself down the New Vegas Strip asap.    … 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.

    One of the best RPG's I have ever played. So many choices and decisions you can make and so many ways you can play this game. Amazing weapon and armour variety and the overall gunplay is good (but not amazing). 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.

Amazing weapon and armour variety and the overall gunplay is good (but not amazing). 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. Overall an amazing RPG with so many things to do in it.… Expand

    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.

    Simplesmente o melhor fallout o mundo é extremamente rico em história e cada centímetro é rico em gameplay e história, tudo nele combina para um jogo espetacular que me fez acumular 24h de gameplay e concerta vai fazer eu acumular muito mais até meu Xbox 360 quebrar

    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.

    Absolutely fantastic. I replayed it over and over and over, for obvious reasons. The story is one of the best in any game ive played.

    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.
