IGN: Fallout New Vegas Review

IGN writes: "When Bethesda released Fallout 3 in the fall of 2008, it was lauded as one of the greatest open-world role-playing games of the time. Now, two years later the juggernaut of a franchise has another addition to its repertoire with Fallout: New Vegas. It appears that Obsidian didn't feel the need to change much about the successful formula, as the similarities to its predecessor are so significant I often want to call it Fallout 3: New Vegas. Since the first game was so widely loved, that's certainly not a bad thing, but New Vegas does feel like a giant, awesome expansion. "

i will purchase this for my ps3 along with gran tursimo 5 this holiday season :)

gtamike4945d ago (Edited 4945d ago )

Can't wait to load it into my PS3 also GT5

Dave13514944d ago

buy it for pc u can cheat!

Ocelot5254944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

cheaters are retarded, it ruins the gaming experience(with the exception of some fun cheats like the ones in saints row 2)

Dave13514944d ago

bullshit ocelot. bethesda put the cheats in there for a reason. godmode ftw!

Lifendz4945d ago

Not sure. I think I'm going to wait a bit. Good score but can someone tell me what the level cap is? I really don't want to have to wait for DLC for that to get raised to something decent.

MrMccormo4944d ago

I'll just buy this game next year when it comes out in a GotY edition.

AntoineDcoolette4944d ago

That's my plan as well. I haven't even bought FO3 or GOTY edition yet, I'm just waiting until the GOTY edition hits like $30- for consoles. Same with Borderlands.

loki524944d ago

I find it funny that the reviewer says "I wonder why they made the same mistake(of having the game end and not being able to play on)and that fallout 3 had the same problem. its because they are greedy and want people to buy the dlc. so no, they got me on fallout 3 but this time i'm waiting for GotY edition. plus, they did nothing for the horrendous graphics or the bugs.

tacosRcool4944d ago

I will have to pass on this game this holiday season. GT5 will be a must for me. New Vegas can wait until a GOTY Edition comes out since Bethesda once again made DLC exclusive to the 360 and PC (well at first that is)

I won't purchase this game for my 360.

Eiffel4945d ago

I'm sure everyone will survive knowing this.

-Judge_Fudge4945d ago

only a 8.5,thats good but i was expecting it to get like a 9.5 or 9.75. but im still buying it

BiggCMan4945d ago

ign only scores games in intervals of .5 now. 8.5 is fine though. its a really good score. it looks like a pretty good game to me, just a lot like fallout 3 visually. i hope it doesnt have as many bugs and glitches.

c0nnnn4944d ago

the game is great. spitting image of fallotlut 3 with some minor add INs. if u like fallout 3 you will love the game. already playing a couple quest u can tell there is glitches from bad guys having no faces to bad guys just ignoring u period. happened once then I restarted the mission and they came at me with a blaze if glory. If u can get past the hiccups the
you will enjoy it

visualb4945d ago

glitches, and other problems -.5
same graphics as FO3 -.5

so if you enjoyed FO3 and just want more awesomeness, and don't mind the glitches, its probably a 9.5

-Judge_Fudge4945d ago

i totally agree u win 1 delicious point

Philoctetes4945d ago

The graphics are terrible and the engine actually runs worse than Fallout 3. That doesn't mean the game is broken or unplayable, but no way does this deserve a 9.5 or something like that.

likedamaster4944d ago

They had more than enough time to fix/iron out the bugs & glitches and failed to do so. If Fallout 3 is any indication of its quality, Save often and expect a lot of crashes. It doesn't deserve more than this score, in my opinion.

...it weren’t so buggy, and almost a carbon copy of Fallout 3... I’m still wondering if I’m going to get this. I have Epic Yarn to beat still, and Rockband 3 next week. I’d say this is a Christmas gift sort of game for me...

jeseth4944d ago

. . . .have learned my lesson with games like this and will waity for the GOTY version next year.

Looks like a great game though if you love Bethesda games.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv727h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii9h ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast6h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM3h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

Fallout Anthology Edition Looks Pretty S.P.E.C.I.A.L.

The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.

-Foxtrot21d ago

It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did

They included physical disc back then

ocelot0720d ago

Forgot I ordered this until I got the dispatch email.

FPS_D3TH20d ago

I want the first two games to come to iPhone/android

Friendlygamer20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot

saint_seya19d ago
