Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

Among my favorite games are 1990s classics – I'd say I'm pretty tolerant towards old stuff. However I've played 10 hours of the hallowed New Vegas now and can't recommend it. After those hours, I'm still not sure what the parties and conflicts of the game's world are and the main plot is moving painfully slow. I understand that games like this can't unpack the entire lore at once, but for a game that is often called one of the best RPGs, there haven't been a lot of interesting RPing possibilities going on in my playtime. There are frequent troubles with understanding where on earth you have to go, as the general level design/ segment design is atrocious at times. Especially the "inside" segments (cities, settlements, buildings) are WAY too stretched out and sometimes constructed of several little maps with confusing loading zones between them. The clunky movement and slow walking speed make it absolutely tedious to just snoop around until you found that one NPC or door that blended into the game's orange-brownish environment. Sometimes you also won't find the NPC because it isn't the right time of day, so have fun guessing wether to wait around or to search somewhere else. Having said that, I'll also have to adress that New Vegas looks awful. I guess that in 2010, Open World games had to make a lot of visual compromises, but New Vegas' looks very samey and uninteresting. This isn't a problem of technical capabilities but of art direction.

The title says it all ..., also feels les like an fallout like any game before, rather play Fallout 4 with mods or once more Fallout 3.

I have the same problem with fallout 3. Infinite loop. Do not buy. I thought the gog version would be better than the steam version but it is exactly the same.

Will not run on Windows 10 even after trying everything proposed on the internet.

I actually wrote a proper full review, but gog character limit is designed to post bad unmeymeys, not reviews. tl;dnr no gameplay, one of the worst stories ever, 100mx100m tiny map, abysmal dlcs This ♥♥♥♥ is filled with bugs. Besides the errors and all the crashes, some of the main quests are unplayable. I had to open the developer tools and issue progression commands one by one. Or how about a random dude just running up to me on a street, punching my face, after which every NPC in the entire game became hostile. The only thing they were chasing with this release is Metacritic score, with zero care for the quality. It was released many years ago and to this day they’ve fixed nothing. The graphics are disgusting, since this is Oblivion everything is intolerably ugly and all the characters are revolting. It already looks like a game from the previous century with its low-res textures, but also the whole art-style is piss-yellow brown. Desolate Fallout at least used bold dull colours, not this pastel-poop rape-bloom. All the art-assets are ugly, the things which looked good in Fallout were changed to look as hideous and humanities as possible here. Well, at least you can run it in UWS UHD Surround if you edit enough files.
