Fallout New Vegas

I must first mention that the rumours are true. New Vegas is very similar to Fallout 3. Luckily I really liked Fallout 3. Another thing I have to mention is that this is way more than a DLC pack and anyone who suggests otherwise had clearly not played it. With all the improvements implemented I would still say it's worth buying, just treat it as Fallout 3.5

Pros
  • Weapon mods
  • Higher population
  • Luck now has a purpose (casinos!)
  • "Wild Wasteland" is a must
Cons
  • Still Buggy
  • Engine starting to look dated
Score
  • 10/10
