Why You NEED To Play Fallout: New Vegas In 2022

Matty have you every tried the Tale Of Two Wastelands mod for FNV and F3? It makes both games infinitely better

Turned 25 yesterday & I decided to finally buy new vegas and start it! 10 hours in first day sounds about right but I'm so glad I finally get to exipirmence this

As someone who can only play on an unmodded ps4 version you absolutely did not sell me this game lol. I hate retrospectives where the creator basically says the game is empty and too dated without mods. Oh well.

Amazing game. Thanks for the vid!

Why not play it in 2023?

Mods make an already 10/10 even better.

For a video about new vegas you were on screen 99% of the time

Having such a hard time with the combat in NV. Certain game should up very well but....... I'm having a hard time

Idc what anyone says fallout 3 can’t hold a torch to fallout new Vegas. If Bethesda gave it the same marketing, time, and consideration. Man that ‘85’ score on metacritic would’ve been blown out of the water.

Just got a PC and first thing I did is download new Vegas and the fps mod

I’m playing new Vegas now on my Xbox 360 that still works ! So far so good it’s crazy how this game is better than most

So I've never really played a Fallout game before but I wanna try new vegas. Is the preferred method of a first playthrough with it without mods? I'd imagine mods make the game run better/fix bugs but do you guys suggest a no mod playthrough first?

Idk man, for me New Vegas has always held a special place in my heart. I don’t think I’ve even ever played this with mods to be honest and I really like the base game. I think Vegas was what really got me into Fallout. Thanks for your stellar content man, really enjoy your channel. Keep up the great work!

RANGERS

Time to reconfigure my load order, I guess

Never played this but now I’m excited to! Downloading now

The story and rpg elements may be better on NV than 3, but exploring it isnt as fun or interesting. Everything is just so samey. And it is in 3 too, but 3 was the first of a kind for me and by the time i played NV after so many hours of 3, it just wasnt enough for me.

Im replaying these games on the steamdeck. I still feel the same about NV. Its ok. Not bad, nothing really special. 4 did enough different that i got sucked back into the fallout world and enjoyed it again. NV just was too soon after 3 and not unique enough. Its 3, less developed, in a different setting.

Graphics don’t hold up but I actually think the dated graphics help with the rusty atmosphere

First fallout game I played was 76 back when Microsoft brought it to game pass on PC. I’ve enjoyed it and have over 300hrs on the game. During the steam summer sale I managed to snag Fallout 3 and 4 as well as New Vegas. I finished Fallout 4 about a month ago but I’ve been enjoying the countless mods I’ve used. Currently obsessed with playing Cyberpunk 2077 so after this I plan on playing New Vegas. If anyone can lmk of good lore friendly mods on PC please do:).

He said they say that the time was no issue at all but, they cut so many things out and almost every reason they gave was related to time, and some the engine

am i the only one that felt overwhelmed with all the choices?

I’ve tried to replay Bethesda titles like FO3, oblivion, Skyrim, but I usually get like halfway through the main quests then get bored and quit. New Vegas I can dive in and do another 100+hour playthrough at any time

I have purest mindset to an extent as well. Mods are cool, but there are games out there that need no mods for me to be able to play them infinitely. Not even for speedrunning either. There are games that are just nice to just experience. Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory comes to mind with that. Which I will grant isn’t perfect, but dang it if it isn’t close. I’ve beaten it so many times and even with some of the moments that still irk me to this day I’ll still play it. I definitely am somebody who just plays games to just enjoy them and don’t attempt to seek after mods. New Vegas is fun on its own. Only issue I had with it is apparently this game must have come out when Windows Vista was pretty current and Windows 10 hadn’t come out yet, because there are times the game just crashes for no reason. I heard it could be because it wasn’t made with Windows 10 in mind, so in cases where just to get a game to function as intended is maybe where I am okay with modding. Which is difficult to say if you would consider tweaking a game just to get it to play as intended as ‘modding’, but I guess it sort of is. Since probably wasn’t meant for Windows 10. Great game though.

Fallout new Vegas is still
Such a badass game ! I really don’t have all the facts and backstory about why obsidian made fnv but they did such a phenomenal job , why can’t Bethesda just loan the rights to them or another game maker like them to get Fallout 5 a little faster?

If only it didn’t run like shit for pc

They call me Morbius

Good ol’ manuals for the days. Took me a week to finish reading it. Wish most games came with digital manuals atleast

I play it every few months.

I bought the collectors edition for this. Still have everything in the collectors box except lost the deck of cards =(

I start a new save on this game probably once a year, it's just that good. With so many games getting remasters or complete remakes nowadays. THIS is the game that deserves one more than anything. Also would like Dragon Age Origins remake as well

Bro I been playing NV haaard for the past two weeks and loving every second.

Teach me how to get it running

I've only ever beat the original new vegas , never played 3 and couldn't beat 4

This game is like wine... it has aged well.

I'm about to start a new playthrough on New Vegas it's been years for me playing on the series X.😊

Playing New Vegas for the first time! Liking it so far

Watching this as I'm waiting for my 50+ texture and model replacements to install on vortex lmao

Survival/hardcore in New Vegas definably made Fallout feel 'real' and immersive again, and for the last time.

Remember getting this for £5 about a year or two after it came out on ps3. Still to this day its the game I believe I spent the most time on. I had 2 or 3 saves with 300 hours on. Great game would love to see either a remaster or obsidian given another chance to create a Fallout game. Easily the best modern Fallout. It's like a great album, mixes the things you expect with the things you didn't expect. Loved this game as a kid and played Fallout 3 first which I also loved very much, just not as much as FNV. Inspiring in many ways. I write songs and I reference locations and characters from this game all the time in my songs. I have been watching your videos since around the end of 2014. I subscribed for the F4 speculation video's. Love your videos man. Don't watch as much as I used to but seeing this takes me back to my childhood.

Well said about FO4. When I say it sucks, I mean compared to the older games it sucks. World building, setting, combat, and creatures make the games good. Dialogue, choices, factions and replayability makes a games great.

This might be because I'm a little bit older, but I loved vanilla FNV! The idea that the world is more desolate, the desert is crawling, and when you do finally get to a building or cave, or a pack of night stalkers it creates a more genuine felling as if you are this person just trying to survive. As was said maybe that is why hardcore is so good. Oh this random shack has nearly nothing of value... Well yeah that is how this post-apocalyptic world would be more often than not.
I love that areas of the world might go untouched in some playthroughs. I did not even know the YCS/186 even existed for the first three years I would replay this game, but then I ventured to the North - Northwest part of the map and there is a random group of guys and one of them has this amazing weapon.
The one thing that I find as a conflict with the review here is that although Obsidian had more time to construct their game given the game engine being handed to them, they did not get the time to form all of the pieces of the story they wanted. Playing the game with trying to be on the side of the Legion is nearly empty, Ulysses was to be companion with loyalty toward the Legion, I mean his ranch is there "Wolfhorn Ranch". Some the quests connected to Mr. House was dropped aka the importance of certain buildings (being able to do the Lucky 38 executive override). Oh and if Obsidian could have made Freeside and New Vegas itself as big as they had drawn it up to be... it would have been amazing! Obsidian also might have been planning for possible playtime after the main quest is fully complete. I know all/most games have dropped content, but these pieces of New Vegas would have made it near perfection, for its time.
Also let's not forget that BGS may have required FNV early in order to possibly reduce the Metacritic score (they needed a 85 for a bonus payment, they got an 84).
Sorry for the massive response I just love this game and franchise.'
Keep up the great content.

Years ago when I tried new Vegas on 360, I was just not into it, but ima give it another go and see what I think of it now. Game is on sale on steam for the summer sale so I might as well.

If you've never played fallout: new vegas, You need to play it through at least once, Easily one of the best games I've ever played and I've been gaming for nearly two decades now

Sure nowadays its graphics are pretty lacking compared to how detailed new-gen games are but story and play wise it's still amazing and still wish it gets a remastered version one day

I just bought Fallout New Vegas from the 2022 steam summer sale and I'm excited to experience the game.

It`s not a game . It`s real life !

I been waiting , so seens ps plus added new vegas and I can buy premium, I just need to know does anyone know if I can play the dlc's on ps4 now ??

Best rpg ever made imo. It saddens me so many people are turned off by the desert, they can't experience all the greatness hidden behind its rough exterior. In essence, isn't that what Fallout is all about?

New Vegas has and always will be my favorite Fallout game, trumps even Fallout 4 and 76 COMBINED. It has some fundamental flaws though that need to be addressed. To optimize it on PC you need the 4GB Loader along with the Script Extender. It's also recommended to find as many stability mods from the Nexus you're able to squeeze in. When New Vegas first went live it was a complete mess. Don't let that dissuade you though, for its faults New Vegas makes Fallout 4, Fallout 3 and Fallout 76 combined seem poor and inadequate at least RPG wise.

"Who are you, that know not your own history?" You can't even say that to veteran players like myself without feeling a chill run down your spine.

The best way to play this now is with Xbox's FPS Boost, it's so smooth

This game makes me so happy. There's nothing like listening to Nat King Cole and Frankie while u absolutely annihilate and destroy anyone and anything. I waited about a year for the game of the year edition in 2012 I think. The old world blues dlc was my favorite. It was so weird. Those creepy harness suits that had dead bodies in them that were hundreds of years old. I ran around with the proton axe and fucked everything up. Lol
