WorstUsernameEver
But best title ever!
Dead Money reviews will probably pop up like crazy in the next days but that doesn't mean that reviewers have stopped analyzing the main game.
Toledo Blade, 3.5/5. <blockquote>Visually the game is a gem to behold. The environments lend a great deal to the overall feel of desolation. Burned out vehicles, busted asphalt and sparsely populated ghost towns are all rendered with intensity and realism. The game isn't without its glitches however. Many times you will walk on top of objects that should require a bit of a jump. At other times you can't jump on a street curb or walk through shrubbery. But none of that takes too much away from the overall experience.
For RPG aficionados New Vegas is going to be a great apocalyptic adventure. It's kind of a Mad Max meets the Wild West. For fans of the Fallout series the game will no doubt be one of their favorites, second only to its predecessor.</blockquote>Gaming Excellence, 8.5/10.<blockquote>The one place that Fallout: New Vegas flounders in, that isn't technical, is in the storyline. Fallout 3 had a very personal narrative in that it followed your character from a young age, through finding his father and then on to deciding the fate of the Capital Wasteland. New Vegas' plot dies out after you resolve the issue of your attempted murder. At that point it's just a bunch of side quests until you decide to pick who you're going to side with and help them become rulers of the Mojave. That's literally all there is to this game. It's almost like playing Fallout 3 with one extra faction and no storyline.
When this game is running properly, without falling through the ground, NPC dialogue not triggering properly or enemies running through the floor, then it's a very fun journey. But unfortunately, for too many gamers, the Mojave Wasteland has been tainted by something far worse than radiation: glitches. Between losing ten hours to a corrupted save and then a further twenty hours to the patch this game has gone from a great time to pure frustration. To be frank if you haven't experienced any glitches then you're a lucky person and we really do envy you. </blockquote>Dailypress can't stop playing it.<blockquote>Sequels, or in this game’s case a follow-up, are rarely better than the original. “Fallout: New Vegas” exceeds the original, despite it being called a glorified expansion pack by some. It uses a tried-and-true formula and exceeds past its predecessor with its story and gameplay. If you can get over the little bugs here and there, you will be happy to tell your friends what happened on your post-nuclear trip to New Vegas.</blockquote>Kentucky Kernel doesn't provide a score.<blockquote>“Fallout: New Vegas” is a game that rewards patience. I ended up having over 80 hours put into the game with a multitude of crashes. I never gave up because the game is just that much fun. A game is truly good when it can outshine the technical mess that it’s packaged in. Besides, game patches can fix everything, right?</blockquote>Stuff.co.nz, 4/5.<blockquote>New Vegas is all about factions. And the uptight, but seemingly well-meaning NCR and the deliciously volatile and vicious Legion are striking.
The scope and freedom remains astonishing. There is so much to see and do, it's not really a surprise no-one has had any time to give the almost three- year-old graphics a polish. There are other problems too, including a repetitive soundtrack and quite a few annoying bugs. </blockquote>El33t Online (what a name), 3/5.<blockquote>Fallout: New Vegas gives the player tons to do, lots to see and hours and hours of gameplay, which is ultimately its saving grace. This game can provide 50+ hours for the RPG fan and after a few hours one could most likely get used to the graphical glitches thrown at the player, diminishing its occurrences to but a minor distraction. I’m all about value as well as replay value when investing in a game, and Fallout: New Vegas does not disappoint in that regard and is worthy of its R600 price tag. Let us just hope that more patches are released for this deserving game to enhance the player experience to one of complete enjoyment.</blockquote>Daily Titan doesn't score it.<blockquote>The game wouldn’t be Fallout without bringing back VATS, a system that allows players to stop combat and individually target enemies, sending gore spraying in a slow motion cinematic piece. The game wouldn’t be called Vegas without gambling, like blackjack, slots, roulette, and a new game called caravan, made especially for the game. But what Fallout: New Vegas does exceptionally well is fuse the seedy Sinatra-strip elements of the story and environment with the Mad Max universe of the post-apocalyptic wastes and the space age era that never came to fruition into a new beast altogether.</blockquote>PS3 Attitude does exactly the same.<blockquote>Simply put, Fallout: New Vegas is a brilliant adventure, and a worthy sequel to the awesome Fallout 3. With a huge world to explore, entertaining gameplay and class-leading voice-acting, there’s no doubt that it’s one of the best games of the year. Unfortunately, the catch is that it was created on an engine that was showing its age two years ago, with disappointing graphics and a plethora of performance issues including pop-in, often crippling slowdown, and even game-breaking glitches.
The fact that we’re still recommending this game despite these issues is a testament to how good Fallout: New Vegas really is. If Obsidian Entertainment continues to support the game through patches (and, later on, downloadable content) then what we have here is a title that is simply unmissable for both Fallout and general RPG fans. It’s not quite Fallout 4, but New Vegas will easily give you one hundred hours of content if you let it, and will most probably keep you entertained right up until the release of the next game in the series.</blockquote>Thunderbolt, 8.0/10.<blockquote>Fallout: New Vegas is a testament to the fact that the small details are what can really matter in a game. For seasoned Fallout fans, New Vegas will represent a huge step in the right direction. Obsidian’s writers have crafted a game world which is arguably far superior to Bethesda’s; however, for players who aren’t looking for a more authentic Fallout game - or simply don’t care - this game is basically just more of the same. It’s Fallout 3 with a wild west coat of paint to go along with its twisted 1950s aesthetic. That will mean more to some than it will to others, but either way, it’s a great adventure.</blockquote>Thanks the Vault and GameBanshee.
