Fallout: New Vegas is not a sequel to Fallout 3, but rather, is set in the Fallout universe. The game is being developed in conjunction with Obsidian Entertainment, led by the founders of Black Isle studios – developers of Fallout I & Fallout II.

gamechronicles.com review
Borrowing ideas liberally from games that were planned before its original publisher went under, and written by the original writers, old-time fans of Fallout will find themselves immersed in a world that they haven't seen for quite some time, and new players might be drawn in enough to pick up the games that started the series. Even people who didn't like Fallout 3 might be pulled in by the quality of its writing and its return to the setting's roots. From its dusty beginning to its explosive crescendo, Fallout: New Vegas may well be the best RPG of the year.

Who would have thought that Obsidian would make the next Fallout game as good as Fallout 3 and at times, it is far superior. The story is quite engaging and not only pays homage to the original Fallout games but expands on it but again, the star of the game is the in-depth RPG system and the sandbox experience that makes this one of the biggest games we have played in quite some time. There are a few glitches but even so, these do not hamper the gaming experience and if you’re looking for value for money, than you have come to the right place my apocalyptic brothers and sister. Recommended!

Fallout: New Vegas, looks and plays exactly the same as Fallout 3. But the additions that Obsidian have made push the survival angle even further to provide a much more immersive and authentic experience, and just like its predecessor New Vegas proves to be a role-playing masterpiece.

All in all, Fallout: New Vegas is a triumph for Obsidian. Once again, they’ve taken on a beloved franchise and managed to do it justice in the sequel. From a purely technical standpoint, New Vegas does have some issues, but a game isn’t all about the technical side of things.

The way New Vegas’ story plays out is incredibly immersive, providing a real sense that you’re playing a key part in shaping the future of the world. It’s not a million miles away from Fallout 3 but it’s big, crazy and very entertaining and that’s all that really matters.

As long as freedom prevails in this irradiated frontier, adventure awaits for the ready and yearns for the able. The fool can wander for weeks in any direction and return with a trove of rifles, skill books, and Nuka-Cola Victories. Here, the air hangs upon the tittering of fate, and the world can be shaped by the will of one and the luck of another. War never changes – so it is said – but the dice has been thrown, the risks have been cast, and New Vegas is calling our bets.

The experience is marred by jerky visuals, as the game strains so mightily to render the vistas of the Mojave that the image often grinds to a halt, threatening to freeze up, and sometimes succeeding. Load times are long, and seemingly none of Fallout 3’s niggling glitches have been fixed. Still, technical nuisances don’t ruin the delight of moseying through New Vegas and sampling the huge variety of depravity—and occasional glory—that post-nuclear Sin City has to offer.

Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic game, only slightly held back by its increasingly outdated tech. Obsidian has created a totally compelling world and its frustrations pale into insignificance compared to the immersive, obsessive experience on offer. Just like the scorched scenery that provides its epic backdrop, New Vegas is huge and sprawling, sometimes gaudy, even downright ugly at times – but always effortlessly, shamelessly entertaining.

If New Vegas were being reviewed as a piece of software, as a technical product, the judgement would be absolutely appalling. These are games, however, and deserve to be reviewed for the experiences they provide. The experience of New Vegas is sublime and so incredibly big that the ratio between getting annoyed by freezes and getting excited by the game’s wonderfully engaging world firmly favors a positive outlook. Very few games could be good enough to make up for serious technical errors. In fact, I could count them on one hand.

Despite the numerous bugs, New Vegas is a magnificent RPG, one that stands head and shoulders above its predecessor. More importantly, it’s also the game that Fallout fans have been waiting for.

Ultimately, whether or not you enjoy Fallout: New Vegas depends on your tolerance for handling bugs. Personally, I didn’t find them distracting enough to ruin the experience for me, and a few crashes over the course of 80+ hours felt like a small price to pay for one of my favorite games of the year. Some players will get fed up more quickly than others, just as I’m sure some won’t care a whit about glitchy A.I. or weird textures problems. If you can see the forest for the buggy trees, you’ll quickly see that Fallout: New Vegas is the pinnacle of the first-person RPG genre.

While the team at Obsidian have inherited the technical triumphs and tribulations of Fallout 3, they have delved back to 1998’s Fallout 2 to restructure New Vegas’ karma system. Spread across the Mojave wasteland are at least fifteen different factions, each keeping a karmic tally of your behaviour towards them, meaning you can mercilessly chainsaw the head clean off of a defenceless grandmother in one town, yet still be revered as a Nobel Prize-winner in another.

Fallout 3 is a 97% game and New Vegas shares many of the qualities that made it one. It’s huge, it’s ambitious, it successfully blends a myriad of game elements together and it really feels like a game about you and the adventure you want to have. So long as you’re not expecting Fallout 4, you will get an enormous amount of enjoyment from it.

There’s lots to like in Fallout: New Vegas. There’s a boatload of new content, with players looking at a minimum of 15 hours of gameplay, even if they just try to burn through the base story content.

Paradoxically, New Vegas doesn’t make good on much new on any front, and it takes a hit both as experience and product for it. As fond as I am of the idea of an alternate reality Fallout 3, we shouldn’t forget that game was released in late 2008, and Obsidian’s contribution to the franchise looks and feels every day of two years old, maybe more. But it’s still a giant, cool, twisted, funny world to explore, chock full of a staggering number of adventures

Fallout: New Vegas is a peculiar beast. It is so similar to its predecessor that it can be difficult to see where the development time was spent. While that is certainly not going to be seen as a problem for the millions of fans who spent hours with Fallout 3, it would be disingenuous to pretend that this is much more than a tweaked and relocated return to the Fallout universe.

In spite of Fallout: New Vegas being plagued with bugs, it still manages to take what is familiar and make it work. Sadly, I’m still not sure if putting in the hours is worth the effort just yet because of the random crashing that occurs, and that can really break your patience if you forgot to make that last important save file. The critical side of me feels that this game could have used more polish, especially since the game engine has already been out long enough for the developers to work out the kinks, which they clearly didn’t do.

I'm really torn on what to say about Fallout: New Vegas. I think that if you read this review and hear what I had to say about the game, and you still wanted to play it, go right ahead. There is a lot of fun to be had. I just want to convey all that I had experienced with the game. It's left up to you to decide if you want to drop the money on it. So, in closing, if you were to ask me personally if I could look past the bad things with the game and still enjoy it, I would say yes, but very reluctantly.

Looking purely at the new features of Fallout: New Vegas, I want to entrench myself in the Mojave wasteland and never return. Obsidian Entertainment has bolstered the series with an array of fantastic additions, including crafting and Hardcore mode, but it’s hard to appreciate them in light of incessant bugs and unfulfilling quests. Fallout: New Vegas was a valiant effort, but it’s back to the vaults for me.

Creatively, New Vegas gets almost everything right. Mechanically and technically, it’s a tragedy. So, it’s a simultaneously rewarding and frustrating game, the gulf between what it is and what it could be a sizeable stretch indeed. Few games have built up a world like New Vegas, and even fewer have squandered such opportunities like this.
