Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

And I will complete it once more. The best Fallout in 3D and arguably in the series, was created in just 18 month, an astonishing work that keep surprising you every time I start a new game. Obsidian Team understand RPGs way better than Bethesda does, the story is simple but very reactive to the players choice, your skills matters, the characters you partner with matter, you decisions matter, what you do in the world has consequences. Can't recommend it enough! The expansions are also very fun.

Of the best experiences you can have in a video game. You get tons of hours of gameplay, a great RPG filled with a lot of different variables, choices, things that people are still finding out about 10+ years after its release. It is far too cheap compared to what it offers, from 40-50 hours of gameplay to 3k+, it is extremely hard to experience everything in this game and its replay value is ridiculous.

I just finished F4 and It's DLCs. I must say I still prefer New Vegas, even if the graphics and mechanics are kind of outdated.

As stated in a previous review, I played the original Fallout and Fallout 2 and was skeptical of Fallout 3 (FO3) when I started it. Well, I loved FO3. What do I have to say about Fallout New Vegas (FNV)? In my humble opinion It IS the best thus far of the Fallout Series. Note: at the time of me writing this review, I am roughly halfway through Fallout 4 (FO4). It has a good start that draws you in. Its zany and twisting main storyline is all Fallout. The side-quests are great. The map is huge with interesting locations. The NPCs and factions are well done and varied. The companions you get are solid. Boone and ED-E were my favorites. The weapons are superb. The 9mm pistol/Maria are of course a personal favorite (the Browning Hi Power). The .45 is of course the 1911-A1. The Assault Carbine/All American/Service Rifle all AR-15 variants. Well done! Loved the Ranger/Riot Armor. I like Power Armor and you can use it in FNV but the quality medium armor was a nice touch. The negatives: Like FO3 you have to constantly repair weapons and armor. Not quite as much as FO3 though and they added the perk Jury Rigging so it is not horrible. This is one aspect, of few, that FO4 does well (only power armor needs repairs). The city of New Vegas itself was not nearly as well done as DC was in FO3. Yes, I know Vegas is way smaller than DC. I preferred FO3's crafting system as well. The DLCs? Other than Honest Hearts (which was the best FO DLC ever!) I though FO3's were better. Still, they were not bad, just not as good as FO3's. It makes sense it feels like Fallout as Obsidian had many of the original Fallout developers working there. There is even some of the background music from Fallout and FO3 going on. Do yourself a big fat favor: buy it today! Bethesda, contract out Obsidian...AGAIN!

Had to add a few mods to work out the bugs and stop the game from random crashes, random freezing and stuttering. But once that work was out of the way, Fallout New Vegas is well worth the effort! I've been a fan of the Fallout series for years and this one has always been the game I've always meant to play but never got around to it. Trust me when I say, once you experience the story, the writing and the mechanics of New Vegas, you'll never want to play any of the other Bethesda made games again. This is truly the sequal to the first two games that never saw the light of day until Obsidian came around. If you're a fan of the orignal Fallout games and the Infinity Engine D&D RPG's from the late 90's/early 2000's, this game will not dissapoint! Just be sure to buy it on GOG and not Steam, it's always a bonus to actually own the games you buy!
