Fallout: New Vegas

Pros:

• Great story, perhaps better than 3's
• Interesting characters
• Some new additions to gameplay (sights, mods)
• Deep expansive open world
• Less drab graphics than 3's
• Great RPG elements
• Multiple factions

Cons:

• Not allot of differentiation from 3
• Still can't explore after completing game
• Graphics still look pretty bad

Verdict: Fallout NV is sort of a Fallout 3.5, but it is still great game to play that improves on a number of things. Still a good game.

8 /10.

Fallout: New Vegas is a game that can be played in every way: you could play though the main story and call it a day, or you could be a completionist like me and try to milk it for all it's worth over several separate playthoughs. you can go around with a sniper rifle on your back and try to take down your enemies before they see you, or you can go in with an assault rifle, or an SMG, or a plasma rifle, or a laser rifle for that matter. you can be noisy and rush in with your grenade MG, or with your trusty chainsaw, or, you can be sneaky and fight with a silenced pistol, SMG or sniper. what i'm trying to say is that the possibilities are virtually endless, and it is up to you to decide what suits you best.

That is just one aspect of the game. What really makes this game one of the best is simply the atmosphere it has. No game in history has ever made you wish a nuclear apocalypse more than this one. weather it be the wide, desolate yet wild landscapes, ranging from scorching deserts to snowy mountains to vast lakes (not as peaceful as it sounds), or maybe the endless sub stories hidden throughout the many computer terminals that are present in all of the ruins scattered about the Mojave wasteland, this game is huge. not just in the size of the map, but in the stories that go along with it, because for all those people who think that this game has no character development, you are mistaken, for the character with the most depth and mystery is the Mojave Desert itself.

My review is too short so here are some extra words for padding.

New Vegas is a game where the player chooses the story almost entirely. It has a wide variety of characters, a vast open map and a great soundtrack to give the game life. This is a game where role playing a character is a huge part of the fun. New Vegas has a couple problems however. In my opinion I hate the fact that the game ends after you beat the story, I wish you could continue as planned rather than just having to start a new character. I also don't like the durability system that they kept from Fallout 3. My biggest issue with the game is the actual gameplay. As smooth as it can be compared to Fallout 3, I hate relying on VATS all the time. These problems don't make the game unplayable or anything but they are very present and I'm glad Fallout 4 addressed them. Fallout: New Vegas is one of the most lively experiences a game can offer and without a doubt will be one of the best games I've ever played.

In my honest opinion, this is the best fallout game. The lights of new Vegas, the multiple endings, the soundtrack, all the different settlements and the reputation system within the settlements. This game has it all! The wild wasteland trait really adds some great references in the game aswell
