Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition

As it turns out, the apocalypse did little to change the day-to-day on the Vegas Strip - and that's just fine by me. Obsidian brought an interesting and welcome change of scenery with NV. Sure we have more of the sandy wastes and ruined cityscapes of old, but the warm glow of the strip just makes things feel so...right. The game itself seems to have aged like a fine (and strange) wine. I often heard complaints about rampant glitches and performance issues when it was first launched, or that the game was simply a cash-grab on Bethesda's part by letting "lowly" Obsidian take the reigns, or that it simply paled in comparison to FO3. The game isn't perfect, true. I do wish the strip itself was larger - the game can leave you feeling rather lonely out in the desert (not that there's ever a shortage of quests). My biggest gripe personally with this game is a rather weak main quest-line/story. There definitely are some interesting characters (Benny, Mr. House, Caesar), but the ultimate goal remains stale: investigate [faction], join [faction], sabotage everyone else until [faction] wins. We have been there. We have done that. HOWEVER, New Vegas completely shines with some of the best DLC content I've ever played. Dead Money, with its brushes with horror and stealth, the undeniably charming Twilight Zone-esque Old World Blues, and the "what should have been the main story" Lonesome Road combine to form a golden trifecta of post-launch goodness. (Honest Hearts is decent as well, but not quite as shiny). As it stood on launch day in October, 2010, New Vegas was an interesting, "good enough" Fallout entry. Today, patched and bundled with all content, New Vegas beats 3 and blows 4 away. I think we all know it, too - it just took a while.

玩了NV才知道什么叫网状叙事，开放世界，你所做的一切都会在游戏里体现，每个npc都有故事，每个帮派都有自己的影响范围和事件，而不是非好就是坏的二项选择。 你可以选择当一个废土独行侠，也可以处处圆滑在各个势力夹缝中游走。 而杯赛的3和4虽然也远高于其他开放世界游戏，但支线任务并没有那么多的细节，主线剧情依然贯彻着典型的美式个人英雄主义，你只能选择当大英雄抑或是带恶人。 随处都有惊喜，处处都是选择，这才是生活。

For all of those coming into Fallout New Vegas from the Amazon Prime show, a fond howdy and hello to you all! FOR PC USERS AFTER 03/20/2024 - Direct X 11 & windows 11 do not play nice with Fallout New Vegas. You will hard-crash to desktop after the opening indefinitley unless you change the API New Vegas uses. You will need to have to install a mod to change the API to vulcan to get it to work (This will not disable acheivments, you are safe there,) this will cause some jank (stuttering in the opening cinematic.) The essential mod here is DXVK the on the nexus. Fallout New Vegas has always had some jank to it so this is just the normal kind of kick in the head you get used to with it. As for the game itself, what isn't there to love about a cyborg mutant mailman hot on a case of revenge after getting a free extra pair of holes in their skull? Weird robots - check Fun, sad, and meaningful companions - check A coherent storyline critiquing the sins of imperialisim - triple check DR MOBIOUS! - So many checkmarks that you'll need a checkered suit to get them all in order. There's a ton of stuff out in the Desert, if you bother to look. It might seem barren but looordy is it not. Regarding the DLC's - they all can play wildly differentley than the base game. Dead money in particular. It is not as fast paced and you are very likely to die your first time in there. Remember, the point of that little piece of hell in the Mojave is letting go of the past (and that past includes your bad hoarding tendencies.) Best to go into them with that in mind.

I purchased this game on GOG because my PHYSICAL copy had to be downloaded on steam. I'm happy to now actually own one of my favorite games without DRM. It doesn't matter if you're into RPG or not, this game is a blast so long as you can get past some of the bad bugs. It's brilliant and a masterpiece of game!

Track down your nemesis, and decide his fate. Train military misfits to survive in battle, or lie about your skills and let them suffer the consequences. Save a dictator's life from a brain tumor, or let nature take its course. Work with the status quo, or against it. .308 or surplus ammo. FNV's greatest strength lies in the weight of every decision you make. It's not just about shooting the wrong guy and having other guys come after you - your dialogue, your actions, and how, when and with whom you do them carve your story. And it should go without saying: mod the game and make your story truly yours.
