On an engine that doesn't have a famously-bad character controller and a penchant for inexplicable crashes, this would be a flawless game. Instead it's just extremely good. Wonderful and reactive story, a well-realized world, builds upon the mythos with care and insight, and just plain fun! Ugly as piss but you do the best with what you got.

Give Josh Sawyer infinite money and a talented team please. The man deserves to not have every triumphantly good RPG he directs be ruined by corporate meddling.

Llego para demostrar que se podía hacer algo bueno con el motor anterior, quitando todas las fallas técnicas que vinieron adheridas con este y con el tiempo de desarrollo del juego. Si quieren, pueden quedarse con que mi opinion es inversamente opuesta a la del tercero. Aca todo es interesante. El puto desierto tiene mas onda en sus lomas poco texturizadas que en todos los monumentos de Washington. Las locaciones, los personajes y LAS QUEST CHABON. Encadenadas entre si, te hacen viajar por una mano que parece invisible porque siempre hay formas naturales de que conozcas su mundo sin necesidad de que mires la brújula o que te vayas a la tuya. Pero obvio que todavia podes si esa es la forma en la que queres experimentarlo. Debe ser de los pocos mundos interconectados que me gusta habitar, quizas junto con el del Kingdom Come. Lo digo en una forma jueguil eh, obvio que no quiero vivir en Bohemia medieval o Mojave post apocalíptico. Las decisiones que hay que tomar hasta con la pavada mas chica te pueden torturar si te metes mucho en personaje y las ideas que tienen las facciones en general me parecen interesantísimas de explorar hasta para los hijos de puta que quieren bombardear a todos o los saqueadores mongoles estos. No se, todo lo que pueda decir sobre este juego puede ser un completo halago y me sorprende que de todos modos se sigue en términos generales jugando como su antecesor. Pero también debo aclarar que esto añade aun mas capas de complejidad a la identidad del Fallout, haciéndolo todavía mas difícil de definir en términos de una franquicia.

For the past maybe two months I've been exposed to enough Fallout to kill a person, with the TV show coming out in tandem with my playthrough of New Vegas. So I was relieved to finish the game once I reached its climax. However, don't let that downplay how great this game is.

Fallout New Vegas is one of the best RPGs to come out. The game writing and story are second to none and the plethora of choices, side content and routes make each journey truly unique. As well as this the story makes you question what's best for the wasteland with each of the factions you can side with having both pros and cons. Fallout New Vegas has proven even through time that it still stands above many modern-day releases. However, with time Fallout has begun to show its age terribly. At the time of New Vegas's release, it was already pretty dated compared to other games coming and with the abundance of bugs, glitches and crashes that do still follow the game it makes an experience that would be fun, overly frustrating. Although some of these issues can be fixed with mods the real problem comes down to the engine, a problem that cannot be fixed unless we get a remake or remaster which as well would hopefully fix the clunky combat and movement. Lastly, I want to touch on New Vegas's DLCs. New Vegas has 4 main story DLCs all of which follow the trend of having spectacular writing, however, when playing these DLCs I found that there was a lack of content. Take for example Broken Heart. The game adds a new location, a few new side quests and a few new weapons. However, these additions are quite minuscule with the few weapons added being quite uninteresting and the lack of new enemies besides the yoa guai that's ported from Fallout 3 leaves much to be desired. Besides that the DLCs are great with my favourite being Old World Blues.
Overall Fallout New Vegas is a brilliant game that is sadly bogged down by an engine that even at the time was crirised. To say I enjoyed my time with Fallout New Vegas would be an understatement. I've put past 100 hours into this game and yet I know I still haven't scratched the surface of what this game offers.

This game is a mess of spaghetti code and bugs and crashes, but despite that it's still one of the best games ever made.

In contrast to Bethesda's take on Fallout, this is a true role playing game. Most quests have multiple outcomes and solutions that account for several playstyles. They also all connect to the overall story and conflict in a very realistic way. While the open world kind of suffers and is less interesting to explore compared to Fallout 3, it makes up for it for the sheer amount of content and replayability it has. The fact that this was made in merely 18 months is insane to me, even with the reused assets.

The DLC is a mixed bag. Dead Money conceptually is great with a fantastic plot, but the gameplay is a chore, especially the speakers and radios you have to deal with. Honest Hearts is fun to explore, but its quests are basically just fetch quests and the story is completely carried by Joshua Graham. Old World Blues is funny, if a little too goofy at times, and fun to explore, but has similar issues with Honest Hearts where all the quests are fetch quests. You at least get crazy rewards from it.

Lonesome Road meanwhile is arguably the worst DLC in any Fallout game. The environments are cool, but Ulysses just sucks as a character and is the epitome of everything wrong with Chris Avellone's writing. Add in a linear area with obnoxious enemies and you get one slog of an add-on. Killing Ulysses is the best part of it.

Not 100% sure if New Vegas is still my favorite game, but it's definitely in the running. I just hope that Obsidian or some other decent developer can some day make another Fallout game instead of waiting for Bethesda-slop.

Perdi horas instalando dezenas (literalmente dezenas, tinha 81 no final) de mods para deixar o jogo MINIMAMENTE JOGÁVEL. Ainda assim, tive uns bugs, em especial em uma das DLCs que o jogo crashou umas 10x.

Ainda assim um dos melhores jogos que já joguei. 84 horas passaram voando. O ritmo do jogo por boa parte é o mesmo de todo open world, o que significa que dependendo da sua sorte você pode aguar completamente sua experiência e ver coisas em ordens bem confusas, e eu tive muita a sensação de jogar 2 grandes jogos: exploração do mundo aberto com a guerra da NCR vs Legion e New Vegas. Sendo o segundo muito mais interessante.

Enquanto o open world é algo bem mais tradicional da Bethesda e, por umas boas horas no começo, a minha sensação era de estar jogando Fallout 3 de novo, a diferença crucial aqui é que não tem nada de arrastado. O ritmo das quests é sempre interessante, chegar numa cidade nova sempre vai te bombardear de coisas legais pra fazer e a breadcrumb da main quest funciona muito bem. Porém como qualquer open world você vai inevitavelmente perder horas andando pra lá e pra cá e vai diluir as partes mais interessantes do jogo no meio de um monte de encontro genérico e cavernas inúteis.

Já New Vegas é um hub insano de conteúdo interessante, literalmente toda esquina e toda porta tem algo surreal de divertido esperando por você. Eu me senti muito mais jogando rpgs mais clássicos dos anos 2000, como KotoR e VTMB do que um jogo open world da Bethesda. Cheio de quests e personagens interessantes, plot maluco atrás de plot maluco.

Pra não passar batido, as DLCs são muito boas, em especial eu adorei Dead Money e Old World Blues, mas as outras duas também são divertidas o suficiente. Adoro como as DLCs desses jogos te colocam num cenário novo e você tem um micro-Fallout ali, com seu pequeno mundo aberto e tudo que o jogo original tem a ofercer, só numa escala muito menor e que vai te durar umas 4~6 horas. Eu até preferia que a estrutura do jogo original fosse mais perto disso, pra ser sincero.

Eu nunca joguei Fallout pré-Bethesda, e quando joguei o 3 e o 4, conseguia ver o charme mas sempre me perdia no tédio. O problema é que New Vegas está em um outro nível que parece impossível de comparar com eles.

a great fallout game with some minor flaws. the environments are gorgeous and the story is a lot of fun, with all four major factions being very interesting. in terms of gameplay, there's a lot of weapon variety, and while combat isnt as smooth as fallout 4 it's still very satisfying. of course, the game doesn't run too well. i personally experienced dozens of crashes near the end of the game, which was extemely frustrating. one thing i really disliked was the interior designs. many interiors, especially the vaults, are terribly lit, look the same no matter where you are, and are designed like mazes, to the point where i've had to give up on some quests completely because i couldnt figure out where the hell i was going. however, despite these two flaws, i still really enjoyed this game.

I absolutely hated playing this game in the short time I did. Lack of healing items made it easy to constantly die. Which I was doing a lot of as while I was 'running' around the wasteland I would constantly get ambushed by raiders and various animals. The combat sucked which made it impossible for me to kill these enemies effectively without VATS, aiming was unreliable, my weapons would do minimal damage and it was impossible to know whether or not I hit what I was aiming at and don't even me started on the movement in this game. You're telling me I have to go up and down the state of Nevada while moving at a SLOW JOG. It felt like torture to go anywhere in this game. Would never even try and play this god awful game again
