    Howdy from New Vegas! 0

    If there’s one thing to be said about Fallout: New Vegas, it’s that the game has a panache all its own. That’s incredibly impressive, given New Vegas’ pedigree. New Vegas’ bloodline needs little introduction: Bethesda’s Fallout 3, Black Isle’s Fallout and Fallout 2, not to mention spin-offs like Fallout: Tactics and another that shan’t be named. It’d be easy to link dozens of elements in those games with Fallout: New Vegas, but New Vegas has defied the odds by having a distinct personality all...

    Better written, and better characterised than Fallout 3. 0

    The post-apocalypse is such a contradiction in terms. The very idea of there being a post-apocalypse should be nonsense, since the apocalypse it meant to be “the end of things”. However, over the past few decades a rich seem of post-apocalyptic fiction has grown and matured, and the Fallout series has been leading the way in terms of video games in this field. In 2008, Fallout 3 brought the much-loved role-playing franchise into the new world, updating the classic gameplay to suit a ...

    Openworld bethesda sytle 0

    not a huge fan of the openworld games but I gave New Vegas a chance with more than 12 hours into the game it still fails to pull me in and convince me to finish the story. the game is just not compelling.  the shooting is fine. the quests are ok. but following a point on a map for 15 min to do a quest gets boring so fast. ...

    Great game marred by bugs and glitches. 0

    I finally got around to playing FO:NV after having sit in my Steam games list for months. I was hesitant to even start FO:NV because, having played many open world RPGs (and just RPGs in general) before, I knew that any gaming session I had would require a minimum amount of time. With these types of games, it's difficult to just sit down and play for 5 minutes. Those 5 minutes become 30 and then 60 and then before you know it, it's 3 am. It turns out, I was exactly right. FO:NV is addictive and ...

    What happens in Vegas... 0

    ForewordLet us get one thing straight here: I never played Fallout 1 or 2, although I've been told that this game is connected to them. While not getting alot of the references I probably missed due to this, I'm still enjoying New Vegas a great amount. Fallout: New Vegas is a Post-Apocalyptic RPG developed by Obsidian Entertainment (of Alpha Protocol fame) which is set in the mid-22nd century, with an alternate history where technology, politics and culture all followed different paths.We find...

    New Vegas carries the Fallout title pretty well. 0

    I wasn’t so sure about what to expect, it didn’t seem like a new full-fledged game at all but somehow felt like it was a completely new turn on how Fallout was handled in its third installment. Knowing the developer’s fame I knew I could expect a somewhat more text-heavy experience rather than all-in exploration. Fallout 3 a little less Elder Scrolls if you will.Now I realize that the game mechanics are identical to that of Fallout 3, in the beginning it feels like the third e...

    Amazon delivery boy gets shot by spoilt rich kid whilst trying to deliver new bitcoin to walt disney. Great RPG experience with improved combat from fallout 3, excellent mods which make the game better than most fallout games. Fun DLC which add unique weapons and armour. Worth buying the ultimate edition....

    Broken but engrossing 0

    If you liked Fallout 3 you will like this game. If you are like me you will not like it as much as Fallout 3 though.  Compared to Fallout 3 this game is severely lacking in athmosphere and interesting locations and buildings. The main story is not as engaging or well written as the one in Fallout 3 with a few exceptions. But the worst thing about this game must be the developers total disregard for giving the customer a game that works. Yes, this game is broken in helluvalot ways and continues t...

    If you don't like Dead Money. You ain't doin' it right. 0

    Fallout is intended to be about scrounging, scrapping, stealing, lying, playing dirty, whatever it takes to survive. Dead money takes this idea and cranks it up to 11.I would not recommend playing Dead Money [DM] on a low (under 20) level character unless you have your skills focused very well, a jack of all trades and a master of none would probably not have much fun in DM. As a side note New Vegas [NV] in general is much harder on character development than Fallout 3 [F3] and the challenges in...

    It's OK, Let's just Say That. 0

    I played through the whole game and though it was interesting, I was really hoping for upgraded graphics, especially along the line of the character models. Hardcore mode is cool and the ability to make different weapons, ammos and medicines, etc is really nice. But, it was just no that engaging, unlike Fallout 3 which took the series to a new high, this just basically lowered it for me. Very buggy, lots of freezing, even with the update, fallout 3 wasn't near this bad. I don't appreciate the fa...

    my game because "the game save is corrupt and cannot be loaded"  Since this happened in a few hours of play time  During which I experienced many battles where I fired on an enemy for them to receive zero damage.    .....Seeing over a dozen enemies freeze into the environment.  I give this 5 stars....

    Fallout New Vegas the new rpg addiction 0

    Fallout New Vegas is now released and i was really wondering if it was going to be brilliant as fallout 3 , since they use the same graphics and engine .But the game is indeed a masterpiece since i wanted to play "fallout 3" but in a different location with different weapons perks and some other great surprises that you will find in the game . The feeling when i started New Vegas was the same when i started playing fallout 3 , a world that i really want to explore and it seems to be another huge...

    Hope you have some free time... 0

    The announcement and hype leading up to its release made Fallout: New Vegas kind of a strange beast. Despite being one of Fall's biggest games, there was one thing that people couldn't get past: Obsidian's the developer. So far, they're known primarily for being almost like a hired gun, the team somebody hires to get things done when somebody else can't do it and the results have been rather mixed. Their sequel to Knights of the Old Republic was made incredibly quickly after the success of the f...

    Was it worth 36 hours of playing? 0

    Fallout New Vegas is Obsidians return to the Fallout Series since Bethesda Software took over and created Fallout 3.   It’s been two years since Fallout 3 was released and I was very excited to get my hands onto New Vegas.   You play a courier in the Mojave wasteland that is trying to deliver a package but gets ambushed.   You soon find out that the package contained a platinum chip and is stolen from you just before you get shot in the head and buried in a shallow grave.   You soon wake up an...

    Good, but 3 was Better 0

    Off the heels of one of my favorite games this console generation, Obsidian is holding court with Fallout New Vegas. Obsidian is an interesting company. They are basically remnants of Black Isle and have traditionally been asked to make sequels of beloved RPG titles. Its worked out well once (Neverwinter Nights 2) and less good in others (KOTOR 2). They are now taking a stab at Fallout after a less-than-stellar debut of original IP in Alpha Protocol. Fallout New Vegas is a sequel...actually,...

    Again.... 2

    I have been a huge Fallout fan from the very first. So I am sad to say that the new Fallout is anything but new. I enjoyed 3 quite a bit, but to but not enough to accept it again with just a new wrapper. That's what I feel this is, just with a few doodads added. That plus the many bugs ( the game save bug should have stalled its release) make this just a rehash of the last game, to me it feels like the developers were just lazy. Even if it pains and disappoints me....

    Alot of bugs? 0

    Well I would like to start by saying this game has a lot of bugs, from the minor texture and odd lip syncing where they will move their lips without talking to the major missing npcs? to at some occasions my game froze or my companions just disappear. This game has a lot of problems, but I can't put it down and I might not be able to for at least another month or 2! Fallout New vegas Made a better looking, better playing, and More innovated game. I was so excited from my first play through to no...
