My spurs still jingle jangle jingle for this one. Putting the giant evil mosquitoes and deathclaws right at the start if you want to head north kinda stinks , I'm daring but I'm not THAT daring.

it looks like absolute shit and it crashes all the time. other than that, it's the best RPG ever made, filled with brilliant writing, endlessly entertaining quests and a world so rich and lived-in that it's a shame we only got one game of it. anyone who prefers Skyrim to this is a soft-brained dolt who plays video games for the wrong reasons.

Fallout with a western flavour which is an improvement in some parts.

The true Fallout experience: if you've never played a Fallout game, start here. Put on the Wild Wasteland perk at the start of the game, sit back, and enjoy. FO:NV combines post-apocalyptica with a genuine skill/perk system that produces a myriad of ways to play the game, and the DLC has some of the best writing I've seen in years. An absolute masterpiece. And once you've experienced the main game? Mod the hell out of it for a completely new experience. I recommend Project Nevada to start.

Although not part of the main series, this Fallout stands with the rest in the series easily, and in some aspects is even better than Fallout 3 and Fallout 4. It is truer to the lore established in the first two games, while maintaining the RPG elements that were largely abandoned in Fallout 4. Plus, the backdrop of Vegas is just as cool, if not better, than DC.

This is 2001. This is Mad Men. I didn't even have accrued leave when this game came out but I took time off from my part time job. No other game has ever matched the experience that New Vegas delivers. True choice is present, it has true adventure and you feel genuinely free. Endless entertainment and my favourite game of all time. Yes man!

The best of the Fallout games by a country mile. You can be anyone and do anything in this game. Role play to your heart's content. Or you can be a sniper (7,5,7,1,3,8,9 ftw). Yes. Snipe everything ALL THE TIME! Fantastic!

overrated | 100 99th |

Pretty much everything you can want from a post-apocalypse RPG minus zombies (and even there you can pretend the ghouls in that irradiated town are). Phenomenal storytelling, characterization, worldbuilding, etc. to the point that the not-that-hot graphics don't even matter. My only real gripe is that the choice between factions is so black-and-white, you would have to RP as deliberately evil to join the Legion and Mr. House is far too smug. Also the Brotherhood should have been an option.

Over the years I've grown increasingly critical of New Vegas. There's a lot to appreciate in its design, but a lot of its quest design is tepid and the way the player-companion dynamic is handled is really lame given how all of their personal agency is put on your lap. Despite this, the game is still great as a holistic experience and there are cool ideas they play with, but I think people overpraise this too much. I'd give it a lower score if the game didn't have great mods like Autumn Leaves.

Amazing story and storytelling mechanics. Maybe the best ever. It's one flaw is that graphically it was not on par with many releases from the same time and it hurts replayability.

A wonderfully immersive RPG. While there are still a million things to do, the story is much more fun and engaging than Fallout 4.

Retains the wonky engine and the lousy combat mechanics of Fallout 3, although the new armor system does at least constitute a minor improvement. It's the non-combat gameplay where New Vegas really shines, treating players to a glorious range of choices, consequences, non-linear solutions, alternate paths, and more non-combat skills than you can shake a stick at. Old-school Fallout fans have called New Vegas "the true sequel to Fallout 1 and 2"; I'm inclined to agree with that assessment.

I realise I'm being overly critical of this gem, but I just cannot take a game made in this janky-ass engine seriously in 2019. It took me a day to mod it properly and even then it dips below 40 fps in The Strip. The writing is truly in a class of its own and almost unprecedented in this medium, but the plot is woefully lacking in narrative hooks of any kind and no aspects of the gameplay are any "fun" to play. Had I discovered it right after FO3 it would have been a different story, but alas.

I still can't figure out how to make this game function for longer than an hour at a time (if I'm lucky). The fact that I still put up with it says a lot.

A little bit more personality than Fallout 3, more polished, and a lot more open. Really interesting quests with interesting characters. A world you can get lost in. It suffers from many bugs (look at any Bethesda RPG), especially on PlayStation. Xbox 360 & PC run it better. This game is truly enjoyed on PC though, because mods add countless more hours of content.

Probably the best-written RPG ever. It has dozens of interesting characters, quests, and factions. It has much more in common with the original games than 3. The introduction of the faction system is a way to expand on the core mechanics and allow the character to feel as though New Vegas were a real place and not a video game location. If it were not for the terrible quality of the production this would be a slam-dunk for best of its generation. As is, it is still a must-play for anyone.
