Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

8 months ago I finished what I consider to be one of the greatest games I've ever played -- Fallout: New Vegas. I fell in love with it. So much so that I spent almost all my free time over the quarantine making a 4-hour video about the video about my experience with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URQ1tSUguYE There are so many things New Vegas does right. Storytelling. Fun RPG mechanics. Getting lost and adventuring through an interesting post-apocolytic Las Vegas region. You'll have moments where you'll be laughing out hysterically, moments where you'll be shuttering in fear, moments where you might borderline shed a tear, and pretty much every other emotion you can possibly feel. All while you have a great time killing things and blowing sh*t up with mini nukes! Buy this game, get lost in it, and go nuts!

Even after a decade New Vegas is still the best Fallout game. Too bad there isn't a special sale for those wanting to try it on its anniversary. Now that Bethesda (the IP holder) and Obsidian (the developers of New Vegas) are both under Microsoft maybe there will be a sequel...

This has been my favorite game for years. -Incredible Characters -Being able to create your own character, and make world changing decisions -Cool music on the radio that will get stuck in your head -Fun weapons -An incredible atmosphere -The foundation upon which thousands of hours of additional content has been created by other people -You don't have a father or son as soon as the game starts

The main reason I installed GOG in the first place was for FNV(FONV[Fallout New Vegas}). I first played this game on the Xbox 360 in 2016. I own 3 copies of this game, so trust me when I say I am a huge fan. Going to Nipton was the most thrilling experience and it only gets better and better. Alot of memorable landmarks, NPCS, quests and decisions you get to make. This is an RPG, so your decision will effect your gameplay, so choose carefully. The vanilla gameplay is awesome because you get to have a companion if you choose, help from the faction of your choice, and so on. There are multiple unique weapons you can earn and find throughout the Mojave. The music selection is superb. The best part about owning FNV on GOG is that it runs better than Steam's version arguably, especially when you decide you are ready for mods. GamerPoet (youtube) is your friend and Vortex is alot better than what people give it credit for. I still play this game today and the mod scene is still very active. Do yourself a favor and just give the game a try. The ultimate edition is insanely good because you unlock 4 beautiful written DLCS. My personal favorite is Honest Hearts. Joshua Graham will have his revenge, because you can't expect God to do all the work...

This is the best of the Fallout games, and one of my favourite games out there, period. I could go on and on about the writing, the branching storytelling, the factions, and all that on top of a wonderful exploration gameplay loop and I would not cover half of it. Some of the choices you need to make still roil around in my head, with and without the benefit of hindsight, wondering if I did the right thing and forcing me to reexamine myself as a person? So, why only four stars? Because this is a game that ran poorly in 2010 and still fights with your computer to this day. Now, this is fixable... but you do need to fix it. I've heard legends of people who can run this game without issues in a fully-vanilla environment, but I I'd have better luck finding Bigfoot that one of them. Check out the Viva New Vegas modding guide, get yourself some extra mods to taste to tune up whatever annoys you about the gameplay, maybe a bit of extra content while you're at it too. After some learning, a couple of hours, and a pinch of troubleshooting if you're unlucky, your spurs will be jingle jangling all the way to Mr. House.
