Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

This is my first Fallout game and I must say I'm in LOVE with it! You can literally spend hundreds of hours playing the game without getting bored because... For starters, this game has by far THE BEST replay value of any game I've ever played due to the way the storyline progresses. It's very dynamic and unfolds according to the choices you make. Your every single step has a direct or indirect consequence(s) which makes each playthrough absolutely unique. The reason I'm giving it "only" 4 out of 5 stars is because it sometimes crashes on my Windows 8.1 Pro system, especially during loading screen. One time, the game completely erased my Nvidia driver (for some odd reason) and I'd to re-install it, which was admittedly a bit unnerving! With that said, it ran flawlessly on my previous Windows 7 Ultimate machine so maybe it doesn't like to run on Windows 8.1?! The instability issue is about the only complaint I've about this game. Final words: At the discount price of just $6, it's worth every single penny and even at $20 it's a real bargain, given the sheer replayability. As I stated before, you can literally spend hours upon hours with this game without getting bored! Let's hope GOG launch Fallout 4 soon!

After installing Viva new Vegas mods, I experienced the ultimate Fallout kick out of this. It is a great game, still even after more than 14 years after release. Definitely recommend.

New Vegas is a broken mess. This is the truth in any frame of reference. NV is a screaming cavalcade of bugs so aggressive that it could pass for a sentient AI that knows only hatred. The sheer brokenness is fundamental to it. Mods can only mitigate it and nostalgia can only cushion you against it. It's a kludge of a video game panicked together in 18 months under the treacherous eye of an openly hostile publisher. Given that's how most AAA video games are developed a decade on, New Vegas was a pioneer. So why am I giving it five stars? Why is it considered a seminal work in its genre? It's because the fire of its design burns brighter than the fire of its bugs. The roleplaying experience herein is so stellar, so deep, so accommodating of the player’s choices that it hasn't been matched to this day. Dialog choices are peppered with skill and stat checks that allow you to solve problems purely by roleplaying. No matter what you choose to be good at, you’ll have dialog options to express yourself. All of the main conflicts have multiple angles of approach with their own benefits, drawbacks, and consequences. The major NPCs, particularly the player’s companions, are all memorable because their stories are emotionally evocative. Characters feel genuine because they have organic motivations, personalities, and principles that the player is free to support or challenge. The main questline is a tension filled web of political intrigue that can unwind in a myriad of unexpected ways with you at the center. The faction-based reputation system lets the player make nuanced ethical choices, cultivate relationships with factions, win allegiances, and sway how factions interact with both the setting and other factions. Even the weapon arsenal is so huge and modular and downright inspired that it gives the game high replay value by itself. I don't have the characters to go on, but I could for thousands of words. In short, New Vegas gets respect because it's the realest.

for real this time! As for crashes: i play vanilla vegas with script extender and tick fix (vanilla enough) no crashes, no issues this version is patched for 4GB memory which is nice As for game: New Vegas is best RPG ever made as for DLC: you start with 200kg of loot from dlc items xD very stupid way to undermine the start and earlygame obsidion... DLC throw pop ups at you like possessed... Unofficial Patch makes the game worse to play and remove all fun exploits as for Graphics: bad, even with mods its not great as for gameplay: mid, i like ability to attack enemy in the arm and take their weapon as for Fallout: game have a lot of improvements from Fallout 2, but i miss the magic of jinxed perk :) im bias 10/10, its hard to find better game, i like comparing games to it to make them look worse

the gun play is far better than fallout 4. sure gun modding is limited. but the ammo types and being able to make you own ammo is so much more fun to do. plus unlike fallout 4 in new vegas you can run around with a dog or an eye bot and another companion. i love dog meat but let's get real rex is better.
