Fallout: New Vegas

before i played this game i was lazy, suicidal, sad, and didnt do much aside from gooning. nothing has changed but game is good.

Possibly, one of the greatest RPG games ever to be created. You have a plethora of choices at every single conjuncture in the game. You can practically be whoever you want in the broken world of the Mojave Wasteland. The gameplay especially the shooting is nothing to ride home about having a lack of polish that's noticeable but it works fine enough for what it is, melee is what you would expect for a Bethesda title with it being super spammy and chaotic. This is one of those rare games that will create goosebumps in every single RPG fan and will be appreciated by a lot of gamers, right from the very start to the end. And, I don't think this is an understatement if I say that this is the best Fallout game in the whole series in terms of providing a legit RPG experience. If they would remaster this game I think I could die a happy man.

Love the part when Benny the main antagonist of hit game known as Fallout New Vegas developed by Obsidian Entertainment and Published by Bethesda Softworks said this in the game "Hope this interaction does not lead to any fallout between us, fallout new vegas"

★★★★★ 5/5 Fallout: New Vegas earns its reputation as the gold standard of the Fallout franchise. The Mojave Wasteland is packed with charismatic factions, unforgettable characters, awesome music and a story that doesn’t just wait to be told—it waits for you to shape it. Every choice matters, and every path leads somewhere meaningful. A must-play for any RPG fan.

The greatest game of all time. No long review because it would take too long but simply the greatest of all games. 10/10.

it's so cool they made a city based off this game, I give it a 9/10 *my playtime as of writing this was about 39 hours; majority of my time with the game was offline

one of the best experiences i've ever had. sad that i will never have the same feeling towards any other game again

Fallout: New Vegas is the bastard child of a philosophy major and a Mad Max fever dream—and I mean that in the most loving, nuclear-glowing way possible. This isn’t just a Fallout game. This is the Fallout game. The others are great, sure, but New Vegas walks into the bar wearing a duster, sipping whiskey through a straw made of moral ambiguity, and says, “Let’s talk about free will, baby.” You’re a courier. You’re not the Chosen One, you’re not a Vault Dweller, you’re not the secret child of anyone important. You’re just a mailman who got shot in the face, buried in a shallow grave, and said, “Nah, I’m not done yet.” And then you crawl back into the wasteland, fueled by revenge, questionable choices, and a steadily increasing addiction to Nuka-Cola and poor impulse control. And oh boy, the choices. This is Fallout at its peak RPG power. Want to side with the authoritarian bureaucrats of the NCR? Go for it. Feel like throwing in with Caesar’s Legion, who are essentially a bunch of Roman cosplayers with a slave economy and severe mommy issues? Sure. Want to say “screw all of you,” hijack the robot army, and become an immortal casino god with your own personal army of vending machines? Now we’re talking. This isn’t a game that hands you a morality meter and pats you on the head. This is a game that says, “Here are 37 ways to handle this situation. None of them are good. Pick one and live with the consequences, you absolute maniac.” The writing? Shakespeare meets Mad Max meets a conspiracy theorist yelling from a burned-out recliner. It’s dark. It’s funny. It’s smart. You’ll meet characters like a ghoul cowboy radio DJ, a talking brain in a jar that insults your intelligence, and an AI that just wants to be your best friend while it takes over the Mojave. The factions? Deep. Every group, from the Great Khans to the Brotherhood of Steel to the Strip’s Three Families, feels like they’ve got their own goals, history, and long-standing beef with half the wasteland. You can spend 100 hours just trying to keep everyone from killing each other—or you can blow them all up and dance on the ashes. The Mojave Wasteland? Ugly-beautiful. It’s not Fallout 4’s flashy ruins or Fallout 3’s green-tinted hellscape. It’s brown. It’s dry. It’s desolate. And it is absolutely packed with weird, meaningful, haunting little stories. Every random shack, every skeleton propped up against a jukebox, every half-buried terminal tells a story—and usually a depressing one. Companions? Actual people, not loot mules. They react to your decisions. They argue with you. They sometimes try to kill you. And they’re all tragic messes. Boone is hunting the people who destroyed his life. Cass is trying to drink hers away. Arcade is a sarcastic brainiac hiding his ties to a shadowy science cult. It’s like collecting emotionally damaged Pokémon, but with more whiskey and trauma bonding. Is it buggy? Yes. Of course it is. This game was duct-taped together with dreams and RAM limitations. The physics will break. The NPCs will T-pose. The dialogue might occasionally glitch into the void. But you’ll keep playing. You’ll have to. Because once New Vegas sinks its claws in, it doesn’t let go. Final verdict: Fallout: New Vegas is what happens when you give a brilliant writing team absolute creative freedom and a busted game engine and say, “Go nuts.” It’s chaotic. It’s deeply flawed. It’s full of soul. And it’s still, to this day, the best example of what Fallout can be when it's not just about nukes and loot, but about who you are in a world that stopped making sense 200 years ago. 10/10. Would sell my soul to a robot, betray every faction, and end the game alone with a revolver and a thousand-yard stare again. This is your story, Courier. Make it as noble, ruthless, or unhinged as you want. The Mojave doesn’t care. But you will.

Great game, but bad engine. It often crash, the best way for you is just crack this game if you really want to play this game.

The greatest game of all time. No long review because it would take too much time away from my beloved, but simply the greatest of all games. 10/10 must have cult classic

patrolling the Mojave makes you wish for a nuclear winter.. Best game obsidian entertainment made in LESS then year.

Walked into the Mojave, made a few morally questionable choices, befriended a robot, nuked a faction, and became a legend.

This is my favorite open world RPG game ever made. It stands as a masterclass in open-world roleplaying in a brutal,unforgiving and gritty post-apocalyptic Mojave desert. There's nothing like this game and it's aged beautifully imo despite it's extremely dated game engine. (**Highly recommend Viva New Vegas Wabbajack Modpack!**) This game is honestly a product of it's era and will never be replicated ever again. It's an unforgettable experience you have to play to understand trust me. "It lets the weight of your choices echo in silence."

Going into this game I was under the impression that this game was a classic. I can see why that is: just the pure freedom to do as you please and kill almost anyone alone makes this game a fantastic experience. With multiple endings, a non-linear storyline and a ton of that classic Bethesda side content that makes your first playthrough 73 hours long, Fallout: New Vegas is a worthwhile experience for an affordable price for both your wallet and your hard drive. Ave, true to Caesar!

Fallout New Vegas is the game most fallout fans say is the best and that's for a good reason its an excellently made game with a Interesting story and intriguing characters. MR House da goat fr fr

I love this game, I spent a lot of time playing it originally on the xbox. Its super fun and I love the dialog choices and how you can get around certain things with high speech. I just hate how the game constantly crashes. If the developers can update and fix it so its not crashing every thirty minutes that would be great because this is one of my favorite games of all the time. But the crashing makes the game miserable and almost unplayable at times. I know its not my pc either because I can run most games at ultra settings. If anyone has a solution to this please let me know cause I wanna continue my journey to New Vegas.

I did the NCR and the YES MAN ending, and i absolutely loved this game, i think that ill'try lonesome road. I think it's the best fallout because it has the most variety of factions, i recommand ( sorry for my english) this to everyone who like post-apocalypse games. Oh, and fuck the "I win the lottery" guy, Can i use his lottery ticket?

i literally bought this game after watching the Hbomberguy video about why Fallout New Vegas is awesome & i was sold on it. bought it after the video, played it like 40 hours in two weeks. incredible game, so much to explore, so many paths to take, so stimulating and it's so easy to have fun. if you like games like Oblivion, this is like Oblivion on radioactive crack and taking place in the future instead of the past. very different but very similar in a way. highly recommend if you like RPG's, story driven games, shooting games, etc. 10/10

This game was my very first take on the Fallout Games, as I had seen it long ago before I could even get money to play the games I wanted to play via Youtube, and became innately curious of it. As I got older, in my late teen years, I managed to scrounge up allowance money to purchase it for myself, and came to really enjoy it for the story that it offered, and how everything in the game that happened actually made sense, and had a certain degree of 'Epic' to it, in the sense of individuals, mere mortals that did not have magic, or supernatural abilities, having lived a full lifetime, in half the years, who had gone through many trials and tribulations, and came out as changed people, capable of changing nations, changing histories, by the skills, connections, and experiences they had, and the freedom that the player has in determining what their story is, and how they choose to affect the various factions around them, the other 'Legends' that they meet along the way, and even the lives of individual people, that may seem unimportant. Your actions, will shape everyone, Kings, Royalty, Commoners, Servants, both flesh and metal, bone and circuits. Very few instances of 'Essential' NPCs exist, which means that you can kill pretty much anyone, and the game had been made to account for any possible choice that someone might make between the bounds of Good and Evil, aside from weird exploits and certain paths that are unusual, but also normally possible to make. And the experience can also be improved, or degraded, with the use of mods, and it depends on how good you are with understanding what you might want, as well as how patient you are to determine what mods will work, what mods are too old to, and which mods may conflict with eachother and cause gamebreaking problems. This is the other Bethesda-Involved game (Bethesda was only the Publisher Here) that helped me develop my mod-installing and troubleshooting skills, though I'm not a programmer, modeller, or Mod Dev myself, and it has helped me work my way into figuring out how to research, and find fixes to certain mod combinations that I encounter. With everything I've experienced, it is a great game, and I eagerly await the passionate creations that the modding community comes up with Regularly.

boy i sure love these neato mods! they done make the game more interesting to play with!

Wouldn't it be great if this game could actually run on computers made after 2001? I'd like that.

Classic FPS with a great story progression. The amount of side quests, factions, and overall things to do is exactly what I expected from Bethesda. Years later, I keep coming back!

Love this game! Too bad it crashes constantly and will never play for some reason.

Game crashes regularly, about every 5-10 minutes. I love this game, but the crashes make it almost unplayable.

Game is unplayable without mod support, sad for such a good game.

Yes i enjoyed all 389 hours with 90% of the time the game is modded. its hard to talk about this game because of its cult status but without a doubt the game is pretty much on life support because the community. the game is unplayable jank that cant function with its nexus oxygen machine and i love it is it the best fallout personally no i perfer the og fallout 2 but its still a great game that carried obsidian to its glazed status. everything just works in this game as prime todd would of wanted.

Great game, great story and great amounts of Roman Femboy cosplayers

El de los Bonais es mi personaje favorito. Gran juego, mejor persona. 20/10 y GOD.

Besides it being a buggy mess even with mods installed, its still a fantastic game!

The amount of choices in this game is astronomical, and makes it so you never have the exact same experience over and over again.

great story great gamplay great game 8.1/10 but it does crash quite a bit

really good game! had it on another platform and now having it here is super convinient! play it if you area fan of rpgs for sure!

What other game can you gamble, crack a prostitute, help her escape Vegas with her lover, and then proceed to kill a 2 century old guy who runs a robot empire? You physically cant find another one.

I cant stand having to go into my files just to make this game playable, every time I decide to re-download this i forget how much I have to do just to play the most overblown fallout game

I fell in love with this game as a teenage boy and all these years later, I still love it as an adult woman. What a game.

Fallout New Vegas is by far the best game in the series, with a huge array of choices you can make per playthrough that actually effect the games trajectory and how the ending will play out to the extent you (*spoilers*) talk the final boss down and not have to fight him at all. This combined with the deep set of perks you can invest in which change how you can play the game makes for a hugely customizable experience. This is without mentioning the addition of wild wasteland which can totally mess with your game and warrants a whole playthrough itself just to see the differences. New vegas also has 4 DLCs which vary in quality but I would still recommend them to people who haven't experienced them yet. Fallout New vegas sets a standard which is yet to be matched by anything Bethesda has released since and I hope one day a game can match it. 10/10

Easily the best game in the series. Still waiting for a remake tho. 9/10

Gambling is fun. Oh and the rest of the game too I guess.

This game has so many different routes and choices and it's absolutely PEAK. Especially the ending fight and the epilogue where they explain what the consequences of your choices were for all the factions big and small. I imagine it would take a lot of playthroughs to get all the endings. Definitely a gem of a game.

games absolutley baller dude it does everything that 3 does but just better and its goated

I dont have anywhere near the amount of time put into this game as some others do, but even then, I have to say its a great game. I just picked it up for 7 bucks after only really playing maybe 5 hours in total ever but also having watched hours upon hours of youtube, and its still a lot of fun. I definitely recommend a lightly modded run, as the QoL is just too good to pass up on. Can't wait to really have my own connection with this game

this game is so good but i dont want to type for 4 hours so ill just say: great story, bad combat.

Easily one of the best games ever made. Even in a vanilla state, the game's writing and narrative alone challenges any competition in terms of vanilla rpgs. That being said, WITH modding, almost every aspect of the core gameplay can be enhanced to meet modern standards. You might think to yourself, "Well, wouldn't that mean its not so good if it almost requires those mods?" For one, when this game came out, it was one of the only games to successfully incorporate all of its parts in a well balanced manner. Secondly, have you tried modding in most AAA games? Have you looked at the scope of any AAA games modding community? Skyrim might have a large deposit of mods for being the golden retriever of bethesda, but FNV was made to be a simple inbetween game to gauge what people want(not that bethesda listened ofc).FNV in every way has been built as well as maintained off of pure will, and well oiled craftsmenship. However, in some respects, this game's time in the sunshine is over; which, is a good thing. FNV the Rocky of the game industry, a total underdog that punched way above peoples expectations, with nothing but hard work and honest effort. Why waste your $10 on anything else, a potato could run this, and you're kidding yourself by not playing it.

I love the story and the gambling but i was a little sad when they kicked me out of my favorite casino

This game is 15 years old and has a higher 24 hour peak than Dragon Age Veilguard and AC shadows. 10/10 game honestly though.

Personally FO3 was fun but FNV is funner. What I liked: FO3 = Atmosphere FNV = Amounts of freedom and choice FO4 = Mods :D

Amazing game with fantastic story! However, the game shows its age from all the bugs that occur as a result of a software engine that's old enough to drink and a development hell that occurred to make this game in a little over a single year. Expect crashes every ten to fifteen minutes.

Extremely fun game with loads of chaos, entirely worth the purchase.

This is one of the best fallout games I have played. Everything about it seems right and well thought through.

great game but buggy and not optimized without some tinkering
