Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

The controls and graphics aren't as nice as Fallout 4, but the story and pretty much everything not directly related to gameplay is much better. Having come from Fallout 3/4 - the first gang of "bandits" I encountered I immediately just started to murder indiscriminately: that's what you do in Fallout. Turns out, these bandits had their own town and I could have interacted with them in more interesting ways. Fortunately, this was a lesson learned, and the various game factions, no matter how seemingly evil and potentially initially hostile, are actually interactive, and have their own tales to tell. This makes for a much deeper game experience and makes everything feel like it has a *point*. By contrast, everything in Fallout 4 felt like busywork: I built my followers a whole town, but now what? They barely even pretend to be happy about it. Why did I do this thing? In New Vegas, you do a thing for faction X, and it pisses off faction Y. You may be asked to *wipe out* faction Y, and you can do that thing. Or maybe you can broker a deal. Anyhow, tl;dr; if you like to play these games for the immersion, this is the best of the bunch.

The games has a great narrative that is not like any other game and a really cool continuation of the original fallout, has a lot of bugs (thanks bethesda) but yeah the game has 3 expansions, several endings, a lot of weapons and charming characters

The closer you get to the finish line, the bigger the bugs. The military camp near Vegas can be a cascading CTD deathtrap if you're unlucky. The endgame missions are finnicky and the slides detailing your trip can end up showing things you didn't do. And yet it's still fun. Which is enough for me.

Reminiscent of Fallout 1 + 2's style of writing throughout, "Fallout NV" is a series masterpiece. While it lacks the polish of Fallout 4, or the strong RPG elements of the original fallout games, it makes for an excellent improvement on Bethesda's Fallout 3 released a few years before. Written by a team of the original fallout developers, New Vegas has you getting deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole with their unique and skillful writing, environments, and character designs. Come explore the wasteland as it was originally intended! This game is definitely not on rails! You'll find yourself ignoring the main story quest, and going off on small adventures with the various side-quests. Obsidian placed a lot of emphasis on the need for open-world exploration, and taking a cue from fans, really went out there to ensure a fair amount of content. I've played 300 hours of this game and I doubt I've actually explored the entire mojave desert. The time to buy this game has never been better: The ultimate edition comes with all 4 expansion packs. The expansions for this game were all great and enjoyable, providing unique looking new areas to fight and explore your way through. Take a step back on the technological chart and explore "Honest Hearts", bringing you into the middle of a tribal warfare in Utah. Then take a leap forward into the future of tomorrow - today! Thanks to the sci-fi machinations of the Big MT research labs in "Old World Blues." Chase after a fellow courier with a real vendetta and a lot of power at his fingertips by playing "Lonesome Road". Last but not least, play a mutated "Danny Oceans" and execute a casino heist in the do-or-die "Dead Money." I enjoyed every one of them. If you're looking for *more* from this classic: there are literally hundreds of addons available online offering new content, new party members, better graphics, new animations, and almost anything else you might desire.
