Product Information
Gamers return to the post-apocalyptic frontier for more hardscrabble living and darkly comic violence in Fallout: New Vegas. Developed by Obsidian Entertainment (known primarily for its competent stewardship of BioWare's Neverwinter Nights and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic franchises), Fallout: New Vegas draws inspiration from all of its forebears, offering a Western setting and factions reminiscent of Fallout and Fallout 2, while retaining the gameplay mechanics and graphics of Fallout 3. And while ostensibly a sequel to Bethesda's epic action RPG that found gamers exploring the wastelands on a hunt for their altruistic father, Fallout: New Vegas chooses to spin a classic tale of revenge befitting the "sinful" nature of the town that is its locus.<br><br>Players begin their New Vegas saga as a simple courier who is inexplicably shot in the head and unceremoniously left to die in a shallow Mojave grave. Thanks to the intervention of strange robot and a friendly doctor, gamers survive this apparent death sentence with nothing more than amnesia and an intense desire for exploration and retribution. This new outlook on life forces players into a dangerous open world, where giant radioactive creatures roam the countryside, and raiders, slavers, supermutants, and ghouls vie for control of territory and resources. Combat and conversation remain the primary means of advancing the storyline, with mercenary missions and random battles providing for character advancement, and the V.A.T.S. targeting system and branching dialogue of Fallout 3 returning unmolested.<br><br>Obsidian has added a number of its own flourishes, led by a new reputation system that builds on the franchise's established Karma mechanic, continually updating gamers' standing among the wasteland's various settlers and warring factions. Companions also take a larger role, as players can now form a party, pass off weapons and items to friendly characters, and instruct their squad mates whether to be passive or aggressive in combat situations. Gamers also have more battle options thanks to new weapons, modifications, and special attacks; and the Nevada Wastes landscape is just as treacherous as the similarly sized Capital Wasteland thanks to militant factions and ferocious new beasts. Fallout: New Vegas also includes a "Hardcore" mode that operates outside of standard difficulty levels, and is designed to ratchet up the realism by giving ammunition weight, requiring players to remain hydrated, and making wounds heal gradually rather than instantly.
Well I'm new to the Fall Out series but I have been collecting 3rd person 360 games for the past 6 months or so (I'm up to about 50 or so titles in the 3rd person format alone.)
And I must say though technically a 1st person game with a 3rd person camera option this game does everything well enough to be almost as games like: GTA IV and V, Fable 2, and Skyrim
Fall Out 3 is good too but everything Fall Out 3 does well New Vegas does just a bit better
In my opinion this was Bethesda's missing link between oblivion and Skyrim
I highly recommend it
Great game... so good that I bought it twice for my dad because the first DVD chipped and cracked from the center outwards due to the case damaging it. Majority of ppl say New Vegas is better than Fallout 3, but I personally think Fallout 3 was slightly better. Realistically though, they're both great games worth buying.
It's not the type of game you can play more than once, but snagging it for $5 reminding me what I loved about the original gameplay makes me so pleased Bethesda expanded the universe with the same engine. The stories are so impeccable you can't even get mad at the occasional very annoying glitches.
Great value for someone who still owns a 360 with no internet connection and looking for an immersive game, just wish it wasn't so addictive and preventing me from doing real life work.
this game is extremely awesome, and the disc works great. my buddy let me borrow his DLC disc so my game was all the more enjoyable with hours more of added play.
I wanted it to work on my xbox one, but that doesn't work. You have to buy it via the xbox store for that. I played originally on my pc, so I know it's a good game...
One of the best games I have ever played. Extremely addictive! If you like the fallout series or you're a fan of rpg's this is a must have. Normally I'm not really into rpg's but I love this game. . This isn't one of those games that you won't play anymore once you've beat it. I've gone through it and beat it 3 times and I'm still playing it! Do yourself a favor and buy this game today!
Its a great game game with great storytelling and great writing. I like to pick apart games and get down to the nitty gritty with games story and this game is almost flawless.
