Fallout: New Vegas

Hey kiddo, Handsome Jack here... and I just played Fallout: New Vegas, and apparently someone looked at the post-apocalyptic wasteland and thought, “You know what this needs? Gambling, political extremism, mutated monsters, and one very confused delivery guy with a bullet in his head.” Fantastic. Finally, a protagonist with workplace trauma. You play as the Courier, who gets shot in the head at the beginning of the game and somehow decides, “You know what? I'm still going to finish this delivery.” That's dedication. If one of my employees got shot in the head, I'd at least expect them to file the appropriate paperwork. Instead, this lunatic wakes up and immediately starts wandering across the Mojave looking for the guy who shot them. And that's where the game gets good. You can join the NCR, side with Caesar's Legion, work with Mr. House, or decide that everyone involved is an idiot and take Vegas for yourself. Obviously, I picked myself. The factions are fantastic, the characters are memorable, and the game constantly gives you choices that actually matter. You can talk your way through situations, shoot everyone, sneak around, manipulate people, gamble, steal, bribe, lie, or simply walk into someone's house at 3 AM and steal their entire wardrobe. That's not role-playing. That's executive authority. And then there's the Mojave. Kiddo, this place is basically one enormous corporate dispute with guns. You've got raiders, mutants, NCR soldiers, Legion fanatics, mercenaries, robots, drug addicts, psychopaths, and an astonishing number of people who desperately need you to solve their problems. You meet someone who says, “Please help my town.” Sure. You help them. Then someone else says, “Actually, they're terrible people. Help us destroy them.” Okay. Then a third person says, “Both of you are idiots.” You know what? Fair. The writing is probably the best part. Characters actually feel like they have opinions, motivations, and consequences. Your choices can completely change what happens to entire factions, towns, and people. And the dialogue? Fantastic. You can have a serious conversation about the future of civilization one minute and then convince a psychopath to launch himself out of a cannon the next. That's range. The combat is showing its age, the gunplay can be clunky, and the game has enough bugs to qualify as an insect sanctuary. But honestly, I don't care. Because New Vegas gives you freedom. It lets you be the hero. The villain. The idiot. The dictator. The capitalist. The cannibal. The guy who solves every problem with a baseball bat. You can basically become whatever kind of lunatic you want. 10/10, kiddo. Fantastic writing, memorable characters, meaningful choices, ridiculous freedom, and enough political intrigue to make even a Hyperion board meeting look civilized. I'd give it 11, but Mr. House already has a giant screen telling everyone he's in charge. And I don't appreciate the competition. He should've hired me.

overrated the story the gameplay the dlc everything about this game is overrated the short dev time for this game is not an excuse for its several flaws but still out of all the stuff ive mentioned the worst part is the fanbase

este game permite com que eu mate larpers romanos e depois faça sexo lesbico com prostitutas, radical!

如果说要给我流放到一个只能玩单机的地方 我一定会首先想到这个游戏。 首先感谢 游骑兵指南 作者如同真的游骑兵一样不停指引新的玩家入手这款老古董游戏 我第一次遇见这个游戏还是在小学时候的快吧游戏平台里 当时玩过cod 玩过战地灭火小队 结果第一次打开这个游戏时候被如此原始粗糙的画质劝退了 彼时的我都接受不了这样的糟糕画质体验。 后面很多年 打完了辐射4 星空 兜兜转转还是走到了每一个辐射爱好者必须体验的一作。 新维加斯的网状叙事 确实是一种特殊的奇妙感觉。 哪怕跨越十年 也能给我有不小的惊喜感。 在此不多叙述。 强烈建议沉浸游玩 不要多看攻略剧情等等 走在莫哈维的废土中， 听着 atom lady 我发现我又爱上了爵士....

This game sucked me in and spat me out as a girl.
