Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

cure for 4's fever

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 game was massively gimped on release, it was built on a really bad game engine and had a very short development cycle. On a technical level, this game is a disaster. Having said that, the story and gameplay (as flawed as the gameplay is), are so incredibly memorable. This is RARE for even a lot of new games to be this memorable, this game is a game I just finished replaying after 7 years of not replaying, I was surprised that I still remembered about 90% of the game. That is how much this game stuck with me, the factions, the weapons, the world building, the companions, the hilarious NPCs like Oliver Swanick and Fantastic, the DLC, there are too many amazing things to write home about this game. This game alongside the original 2 Fallout's, have crafted a world that captures your imagination in ways that few games including the following Fallouts fail to do. I would encourage playing Vanilla 1st time, if you are going to add mods, just add mods that fix bugs, improve performance, and very safe texture mods such as Ojo Bueno and so on.

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
