    why wouldn't you like it

    I know a lot of people are going on about the bugs and the glitches to fallout new Vegas, but what most people seem to forget is the absolute freedom the game gives you throughout, i mean think back to  the unbearably drawn out beginning to fallout 3, with fallout new Vegas its wake up, sort attributes and hit the road if you want, and then for new people to the fallout world there are beginning quests to get acquainted but for the veterans of fallout it makes the whole getting on your feet and savaging for new things and finding new places a lot easier. 
     the new game world is refreshing and as every bit dangerous and interesting as fallout 3 and the other fallout games and the weapons are just as awesome and some times as brutal as any fallout games, but what fallout new vegas weapons have over fallout 3 is the ability to use the iron sights, let face it using an iron sight and being able to shoot in a completely different way to fallout 3 is so much better than a slightly closer perspective 
    . sometimes it does get a little repetitive that there is an ever growing rivalry between the NRC and legion but a quick side quest away from that soon gets you back into the swing of saving the waste land one bullet at a time. 
    the clothing on this game gives you a chance to fool you enemies and to gain an advantage by being able to dress as any of the factions that have influence over the Mojave, and much like the quests if you don't want to bother with it you don't have to by simply not using the clothing the factions use. 
    another awesome challenge for veteran fallout fans is the hardcore mode where you have to sleep eat and drink and even ammo weighs something, this gives the game an all new twist to it and makes it that little bit more challenging.
    Admittedly there are a few bugs here and there and the golden rule is to save lots and save often so you never loose any progress but there have been a few updates that have made the game run a lot smoother.  
    For any person wanting to loose them self in a post apocalyptic world and just relax and game this is the game for them, this is a game i will be going back to again and again and most certainly recommend it :D

      Fallout: New Vegas is published by the company that developed Fallout 3 in 2008 which was Bethesda, but this time around New Vegas is developed by Obsidian entertainment. Obsidian is fairly well known for making flawed but fantastic games. Sort of like they give you your cake and never let you eat it too…at least not until a year and “X” amount of patches later. It usually takes Obsidian awhile after one of their game’s launches to get it up to where it should be, but afterwards their games are ...

      Fallout: New Vegas shines through all the muck. 0

        Just like the great, but flawed, Fallout 3 and Oblivion before it New Vegas has a wide array of technical issues. But that is by no means a valid reason to not play this game. It can freeze out of nowhere and leave you holding the bag on a chunk of the game that you had forgotten to save, making you replay it. It also has a tendency to glitch in the same manner as its predecessors and when too much is going on it will slow down the frame-rate and make you feel like you're back to playing Morr...
