DISCLAIMER: IF YOU PLAY THIS GAME ON PC, MAKE SURE TO GET RADIO RESTORED and FUSION FIX MODS. When R* re released this game on PC, they cut like more than half of the songs from the base game and DLCs due to licenses expiring. Fusion Fix helps optimize the game better and adds missing visuals.

I pretty much loved almost everything about this game except for the actual missions themselves.

I loved the interactivity of everything in the game. It's especially notable in combat when you see enemies ragdoll different depending on where they're hit or shot but the details go beyond that to just tiny details around the environment like being able to chip and break walls or windows which is really impressive for GTA game and also just makes the game feel much more satisfying.

The story was also probably my favorite so far out of all the GTA games I've beaten, its the most grounded and believable story while still retaining a lot of comedic elements of the previous games. I really like Niko as a character and especially near the end of the game, I really was invested in how the game led to where it went depending on what choices I'd made earlier in the story.

I really enjoy the design of Liberty City, I really miss the more closely condensed design of GTA maps where everything feels close together and more detailed oppose to Los Santos in GTA V that feels like a pain in the ass to drive through because its a lot more vertically positioned rather than horizontal like Liberty City.

The radios in this game are amazing as well, so many bangers. I thought it would be worth mentioning since you spend so much time in GTA driving around, listening to the radio.

Like I said earlier, the biggest gripe I have with this game is the missions. Almost all of them feel the exact same and do genuinely end up feeling like errands rather than something that I feel genuinely invested and interested into getting into. Especially with how many different characters the game introduces, it makes a lot of missions feel trivial and kind of like a slog to keep the player busy. Almost every mission is just (Drive here-> Kill this guy->Drive away from cops-> earn $___). It's very dull.

I also like the idea of the friend reputation system but in execution, it again feels more like an actual chore to manage rather than something that adds extra depth to the game. However, listening to the dialogue between friends is always intriguing, it just can become annoying when you feel the need to continuously keep up the reputation of the all the random ass friends you've gotten throughout the game.

Great game overall though, it's a game I played a lot of online of as a kid but I never beat until now.

My favorite game of all time.

I don't really know where to begin with New Vegas tbh. I replay this game just about every single year or so and I never get sick of it, of course I'll add some mods to refresh my experience but even without mods that add more stuff to the game, this game is still an absolute masterpiece.

Obviously this game requires a few patches to get running in stable state because of the fact its an older game that was only made in a year and a half. However, this should honestly be expected with most older games and if you cry about having to spend like 5 minutes max installing NVSE and 4GB patch you're an absolute bitch LOL

I love pretty much everything about this game. Even if its dated, I still love the gameplay and how many different kinds of weapons and armor there are in the game that can allow the player to choose so many different unique playstyles.

This game has an absolute fuck ton of quests, way more actual quests than both Fallout 3 and 4 and also of much higher quality that doesn't just consist of shooting galleries or choices that are purely obvious/black and white.

The narrative and writing in the game is so great, it really builds upon the strongest points of Fallout 1 and 2's writing and world building. New Vegas focuses more upon a truly POST-apocalyptic world rather than a freshly apocalyptic world like the Bethesda Fallout games, this game's world feels genuinely alive and authentic.

The role playing in this game allows for so many unique choices for most quests that really makes the world change around you as you play then game, every playthrough can feel completely different.

I mean there's only so much I can say about New Vegas that people haven't already said, this game basically takes the greatest elements of the first two Fallout games and puts it in the FPS/Open World format of Fallout 3 and just completely improves upon it in every single way. I genuinely think all of the cons of this game all come down to how rushed the game was but even then, they're all so minor and do not take away from how amazing this game is.
