Coisas importantes sobre Fallout New Vegas:

- Existe muita crítica social e política tanto na quest principal quanto nas quests secundárias espalhadas por aí, quase todo mundo tem uma ideologia e dilemas sociais buscando uma resolução, que pode resultar em conflitos éticos com outra pessoa.
- Bissexuais dão 10% a mais de dano pra todo mundo
- I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle

The most immersive game I have ever played.

"Player immersion" is a concept often at the forefront of AAA game development, whether that be creating extremely realistic graphics, telling a cinematic story or even the idea of using AI dialogue in NPCs to simulate a real life conversation- all of these ideas have one thing in common. They strive to create a truly immersive experience for the player. Fallout: New Vegas does not have any of these traits and yet is the most immersive experience I have ever had in any videogame.

For example, Red Dead Redemption II, another AAA open world game, boasts a beautiful world with compelling stories and character animations that resemble real life and yet, I never feel truly immersed in this world. Sure horse balls shrink in cold weather and Arthur Morgan will physically load a weapon with different ammo each and every time you want to switch ammo types and while yes this is realistic, the game as a whole is not immersive. You can shoot up entire towns and the story will still play out the same and NPCs outside of the story don’t really matter at all or have anything interesting to say outside of mentioning a small quest. This isn't to say that RDR2 is a bad game, far from it! But rather, that Fallout: New Vegas is able to build a truly immersive world solely with stellar writing and player choice.

Right from the get-go you’re given the main quest. You were shot in the head, go find who did it. Of course, the logical next step is to ask around town about the man who shot you but what if you just wanted to shoot up the whole town? Well you can! And if you do, the main quest marker is just GONE. You’ve killed the person who had information on the guy who shot you, so of course you’re gonna have no idea where else to go. Any other game would have had an NPC who cannot be killed forcibly tell you where to go to complete the main quest, but it doesn’t! And the game is FILLED with moments like these. NPCs will offhandedly mention places of interest and mark it on your map only if you choose the correct dialogue that would get them to do so. Or, you could find these places organically on your own and bring up to them that you’ve already been there before! Nothing is locked behind a quest or NPC. If you do decide to shoot up a town you are realistically vilified or idolized by different factions in the world. The NCR may be happy you took out a portion of Caesar’s Legion and organically bring that up during conversations, or you may not even be allowed near NCR outposts as you’ve killed too many of their members. The world feels like one cohesive experience where every decision and quest weaves perfectly into each other. Combined with the brilliant setting of the post-post apocalypse where as a player you believe anything can happen. Robots and giant hulking mutants coexist in a world where there’s a realistic power struggle for control of the Mojave wasteland. It’s so believable and immersive to the point that when I get tired of the 40’s and 50’s music present in the game I turn off the radio and listen to other 40’s and 50’s songs through Spotify just to keep myself in this world. I cannot stress enough how much I love Fallout: New Vegas, and I implore anyone to get immersed in this world as well.

Fallout: New Vegas

Primeiramente ressalto que foi um milagre conseguir jogar esse jogo no PC em 2024, em razão dos problemas técnicos que ele apresenta. Tentei várias vezes ao longo dos anos e nunca havia conseguido. O jogo não é nada compatível com o software de hoje em dia e performa muito mal sem a aplicação de mods de correção. Por sorte existe um site chamado Viva New Vegas e, após seguir o passo a passo estrito que eles oferecem, consegui deixar o jogo perfeito, foi zero crash do início ao fim.

Fallout: New Vegas é uma excelente evolução de Fallout 3, que já era excelente por sua vez.

Em que pese a engine já ultrapassada para 2010, Fallout: New Vegas traz o player para o mundo mais vivo que a série já viu. Com o novo sistema de facções, em New Vegas, cada decisão do nosso "Courier" importa e influência na dinâmica de jogo, trazendo um elemento RPG que agrada muito o meu gosto.

O jogo também mantém outros elementos RPG de Fallout 3 como todo o sistema de up, exploração/loot, karma e opções elaboradas de diálogo.

A história é envolvente e pode ser finalizada de várias formas, podendo o Courier escolher qual facção irá apoiar, ou até mesmo seguir um caminho independente. Cada grupo encontrado possui uma história legal e personagens carismáticos, da pra sentir claramente se gosta ou não daquela galera rapidamente. O timing também é outra coisa que o jogo acerta, não há questlines muito longas de cada grupo, é muito bem balanceado pra não enjoar, considerando a quantidades que grupos que existem em Mojave.

O gameplay é o padrão fallout, V.A.T.S., drogas, reparo, loot, sobrevivência, diversas builds e formas de brigar, tudo muito divertido e bem feito. Além disso, o loot motiva a explorar o mapa, principalmente em dificuldades mais altas.

Como ponto negativo apenas a performance, que foi contornada graçar ao pessoal do Viva New Vegas, pelo que esse fator não faz diferença pra mim na nota.

No fim das contas, em que pese a escolha do jogador, uma coisa é certa, a humanidade continuará brigando pela sobrevivência em Wasteland, afinal, War... War never changes.

I played this game to completion 11 times and was still finding new things within it.

the depth of its worldbuilding brings to mind one very important question:

what do they eat?

and it answers that question and every other question while not feeling like exposition somehow.

This was my first fallout game

i chose a helluva way to start.

Truly one of the greatest RPGs ever created.
I'm constantly in awe at the degree of care that went into the world-building, there's not a single bit of lore discovered in this game that doesn't tie itself back into the motivations of the many different characters across the many factions in the Mojave.

While I understand how many people would prefer the gameplay of FO4 (sans the RPG mechanics), I still find the moment to moment action of NV far more enjoyable. Greater diversity of weapons, ballistics feel punchier, the gore is just satisfying as its ever been, no superfluous junk mechanics, etc. It's all the meat and potatoes of what makes this game sit well in your hands with none of the junk food that FO4 would add on top of it later.

This is a really weird one for me to review. I went into this with the knowledge that it’s a very old game and that part is 100 percent true. The gun play and general feel of this game just isn’t great. It all feels held together with loose tape. It’s a super difficult game to actually play with the controller.

NOW as an RPG game with an interesting story and side quests with good characters and role playing systems, that’s where this game truly excels. I found myself fascinated with the factions and the world and the RPG systems that were put in place.

I know most people say this is their favorite Fallout and it’s a 5 out of 5 and I can totally see that. I just can’t say it’s a perfect 5 though. I found it so so hard to physically play this game after a while and the shoddy technical performance just yanked me out of any immersion I was building.

I’m walking away from this game with only one thought….THIS NEEDS A FULL BLOWN PROPER REMAKE. Keep the amazing RPG elements and story but overhaul the gameplay and technical side and you’d have an all time 5 out of 5 game there.

Until then……I can’t call it a masterpiece.

esse jogo tem tudo que o homem precisa pra ser feliz, segue lista de algumas dessas coisas:
- prostituição (pode ser desde com pessoas normais até zumbis ou robôs)
- (muitos) jogos de azar
- a chance de ser um cowboy no apocalipse
- cachorro.
- bissexualismo (também pode ser gay, lésbica ou hétero, mas esse ultimo é o mais sem graça)
- poder sair na porrada com qualquer pessoa que voce ver na rua
- com a dlc voce pode colocar implantes robotikos (até porque quem não quer ser meio ciborgue?)
- eu falei do sexo com robô?

JOGAÇO DA POHA

I love Fallout as a series and a franchise but had never really gotten into New Vegas that much before. More into the lore and story than the gameplay to be honest. That's where I have a big issue with this game. The gameplay. Gunplay is terrible and inaccurate, most weapons feel like crap, even later weapons. RPG mechanics are okay at best, it really isn't THAT RPG that many FNV d-riders will rave on about.

There is a few great saving graces here though which is the excellent politics of the Wasteland. Different factions with different agendas where no one really feels "truly good" or "truly bad". You can say the Legion is an evil - kill all for no reason - faction but the way I see it is they provide a safety with a large arsenal and army with protection within the Wasteland. They are cruel and quite stupid but what they're doing can be seen as beneficial for the majority. Dialogue in this game is fun and interesting at times, and talking really feels like you are trying to get information unlike other games where it just feels like a chore.

I'm abandoning however at this point where even after installing many anti-crash mods, the game is super unstable and the community says "welp ¯\(ツ)/¯ that's Fallout for you!" as if that's supposed to excuse how poor the game can really be. It crashes constantly and has other bugs that are worse than vanilla Fallout 4's. Why F4 as a comparison? The fanbase sure loves to hate on it when in my experience, the game "just worked" haha. They also like to say "mods can fix that particular issue" but like you're saying the vanilla game without any extra help is still good then lol??

While I'm a fan of the Fallout series, I've struggled to fully embrace New Vegas. It's disappointing to see such issues persist, especially compared to the SOMEHOW smoother experience of Fallout 4. It just isn't for me I'm afraid. This would be a better film or tv show because no one should have to slog through this mess.

Shoutout Mr House and YIPPIEEE YAAAAYYYY JINGLE JANGLEEE.

In the middle of my friend's playthrough they were direly over encumbered, and trying to get up a hill. They had put a lot of their belongings in a crate, and had been pushing the crate inch by inch up this mountain road. Their eyes were drawn from the prize (a mound of loot-filled corpses at the top of the road), and as I warned them about moving too far, the box's physics slipped off the model and it slowly skidded back down the road to cries of anguish. That is the most I have ever enjoyed anything Bethesda ever made.

Muito triste que meu jogo bugou logo na última missão.
Considero que serei sim, mas muito chateado que não vou ter a satisfação de ver os créditos depois do final que decidi fazer.

Apesar dos BUGS, melhor fallout que joguei (único que zerei até agora), adorei resolver a maioria dos conflitos no diálogo. Mostra o número de variações de desfechos das missões existem para serem vistos.

Nunca fui muito próximo do combate na franquia, acho um pouco travado, porém o V.A.T.S ajuda a ser menos frustante.
E como qualquer jogo da Bethesda, as missões secundárias são mil vezes mais interessantes que as principais.

Amei. Seria 5 estrelas se não fossem os bugs 😥
