Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

I remember my childhood, spending a whole summer vacation playing Fallout. Discovering that civilization is gone (Shady Sands) sneaking in the Raiders base, Struggling against the time limit, wandering in the Hub, running from Deathclaws and so on. Then another summer vacation, another Fallout (2). Trying to assemble the car, discovering that without a melee fighting skill you are fubar in early game stages, my boxing career, exploring the mine of Broken Hills, chasing the GECK. While I count myself as a hardcore Fallout fan, I didn't hate Fallout 3 per se, rather than quietly acknowledged that the series I once loved... gone. Like losing a close friend or a beloved one. Then New Vegas popped up out of the blue and the old Fallout atmosphere managed to break through that slimy mess of surface, which defines Bethesda games, with the weird animations, questionable graphics, silly NPC dialogue system and all that stuff which makes me dislike those games. And basically that's what New Vegas is for a hardcore Fallout fan. A bittersweet closure, like miraculously traveling back in time to spend 100+ hours with that beloved person you lost, knowing that it will end soon. Thank you, Obsidian. :')

Obsidian made this in 18 months, using assets and the engine from Fallout 3. Fallout 3 is pretty boring, meaning that interesting quests are too far in between and the world is just not up to par with what it could really be. BUT, New Vegas is way, way better. In fact, it is what I like to think as the actual Fallout 3 experience. Buy this game. Play this game. You won't regret it, not even in 2022.

The best of the modern Fallout titles. The depth of New Vegas cannot be overstated. Combine this with the two huge mods, Project Nevada and A World of Pain, and you've got a game you might never stop playing.

I played through this game several times. On my PS3 and later on my PC. The game is a great Fallout game. A 3D game, similar in view to Fallout 3. If you enjoyed F3 you will probably enjoy this one. As most games this is not perfect, but IMO it has nothing bad enough to even consider not playing it. The game is a more refined version of previous Fallout games, especially Fallout 3. My favorite part perhaps being that you can look down the scope with all weapons instead of the very 90s shoot from the hip view. As an RPG, a Fallout RPG, it is superb for what it is. You find yourself in an expected position and you start on a mission to get revenge. How you proceed and what you do is entirely up to you. There are so many things to do, both in main story and sidequests, that you can spend 100s of hours, easily. If you like Fallout, if you like Mad Max, if you like post apocalyptic settings for your entertainment, this is a must.

New Vegas is the story of a postman who gets shot in the head and must find his parcel to finish the delivery (as well as get some sweet vengeance). On the way to this goal you will encounter things such as angry convicts with dynamite, casinos, drugs, the guy who won the lottery, Rome 2 Electric Boogaloo, wishing for a nuclear winter, cheerful robots that just want to help, 1000 year old capitalists, invisible giants, WAR, a shitty final boss, exploding necklaces, religious tribals, GIANT ROBO SCORPIANS and sadness. It's a weird game.
