Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

For me this is an absolute must buy. It has the most immersive world with amazing lore and characters. The graphics arent the best and the engine is outdated. The game does have problems with stability, however after doing my first playthrough, I looked to mods for fixing stability issues and to upgrade the graphics! There are only 2 other games that can even compete with the rich lore and story, amazing quests, variety of npcs of this game imho. If you wish to see the quality and depth of the story, the options it gives you, their morality, the npcs/followers and even the quality of DLCs this game has to offer I suggest you take a look at the Youtube channel called Oxhorn and see his New Vegas playlist!

One of the greatest Fallout game. This game has been installed on my PC for as long as I remember. Since this is the GOG version, it can be played offline no problem. However, If you care about earning the GOG Galaxy achievements, you would have to play the game online while connected to the GOG Galaxy. All of Fallout NV's GOG Galaxy achievements work correctly, since I got to 100% achievement completion on GOG Galaxy without encountering any problem. The game is very atmospheric, the feeling of entering a bar in the Mojave with country music on the background for the first time is priceless. The only problem I have with this game is infinite loading screen (usually start to happen on the middle-part of the game story), although it can easily fixed with mods. Overall, a great gaming experience. 6 out of 5 stars!

A huge world to explore, lots of quests and decisions, tons of items and great replay value are reason enough to pick up this fine roleplaying sequel. Great dialogues and characters as well as the option to solve quests in multiple ways involving the use of your character skills. Nothing that cant be fixed by the impressive mod community. Solid purchase of a game that will last you quite awhile.

Nuff said, yeah, this is it. You want to play REAL Fallout, but don't like the old and 2D graphics? This game for you.

This is a good game but I'm more of an FPS player than RPG so I think that's why I preferred Fallout 3 I guess the beauty of it is it’s designed to be playable whether you’re mainly an FPS or RPG player. So while F3 does have a lot of plot and choices to make, it felt well balanced, but FNV just seems too plot-heavy for me, with not enough opportunities to step away from the main plot and then return to it. I constantly felt weighed down with the implications of everything I was doing in a way that F3 didn’t do (even though I’m not sure it makes that much difference barring how many enemies you do/don’t want to make). And nothing can replace the brilliant beginning to F3 that sets up that world and the character's life within it. To be fair this game doesn’t even try to set things up, instead it just assumes you’ve already played F3. In some ways, while it has its own DLCs, it almost feels like a large DLC itself and the map felt a little smaller than F3. I did really like two of the expansions – Dead Money and Honest Hearts – in very different ways these maps were really impressive and introduced good new characters. FNV feels overwhelming at first, with the amount of items to pick up and recipes for making things, which feels exponentially expanded since F3. After a while though, I realised I could beat the game, even on its hardest setting, by focussing on what I enjoy, which is problem solving and shooting . So if you’re the same kind of player than me then I’d recommend ignoring all food and drink and allocating no points to survival skills, also no points to melee (unless you enjoy it ofc.) I focussed on building my key skills quickly, including hacking, guns, speech, strength, lockpicking and medicine. And I didn’t use VATS once – it just negates all the fun.
