Bethesda has passed on the reigns to Obsidian Entertainment, best known for their work on the Neverwinter Nights series and Alpha Protocol. New Vegas is set in, you guessed it, Las Vegas in the distant future of 2277 a long time after the [supposed] end of the world. Unlike Fallout 3, in New Vegas you start out as a lone, unnamed courier who, upon delivering a top secret package, was shot by a shifty character named Benny and left for dead. You’re rescued however and your goal is firstly revenge, secondly to find out the truth about why you were betrayed and what the package contained. From here you’re let loose into the Mad Max style wasteland of the Mojave desert and what you do/who you become is up to you. Is Obsidian’s attempt at a Fallout game a success, or is it just more of the same?"

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."
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.
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.
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.
Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.
I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
The Fallout Anthology Edition is coming to PC very soon, and is packaged with some very S.P.E.C.I.A.L. bonuses.
It’s an awful downgrade to the last one they did
They included physical disc back then
I would love the classic fallout games on console. Closest I could find was atom rpg, I liked that one a lot
Getting free games is never a bad thing and Amazon Luna has new offerings for Fallout fans looking for free adventures in the Wasteland.
