- "I'm in charge. This whole operation depends on me. No Fantastic, no power. Got the whole NCR suckling my teats, and it feels so good."
Fallout: New Vegas, developed by Obsidian in 2010, is a FANTASTIC video game. I had my ups and downs with it over my 140 hours I played for this review, but at the end of it all what I feel like I got was a very generous and open game that was open to letting me try my own ideas, good or bad.
A well written and at times genuinely funny romp, this game still holds up pretty well today in the year of our lord 2024. I think I'm the only person I know with any recent memories of this game so if you've played it recently or just have some memories you want to share, please do in the comments.
Thanks for watching and I'll see you next video - Hry
WHO WON THE LOTTERY? I DID!
WHAT LOTTERY?
@@stonedskeletongaming THE ONLY ONE THAT MATTERS!!!
Powder Gang is small-time, man! I'm a winner! I won the motherfucking lottery!
now IMAGINE if Obsidian had more than 18 months to develop NV
The DLC was for sure a more thought out, love letter to the series and it's themes as a whole that's really essential to the experience.
Feels weird that I played all 4 and only dedicated a paragraph to them but yeah... like a whole game of their own
Give Obsidian 18 months and you get a masterpiece. Give Bethesda 10 years and you get a buggy mess.
@@Falloutboy76.4 that still, somehow, works.
God Starfield's a buggy mess
Haha I liked Starfield but in a “beat it once and wait for dlc” kinda way. Unlike this which I beat twice immediately 😂
@@stonedskeletongaming May I ask when you first played a video game, and when you first became a PC gamer?
You might have been picked up by the algorithm, I’m here because this video got recommended to me
(Yes, I’ve watched an FNV video recently, but still)
Glad you liked it however you got here!
I love this game so much.
I finished the script and voice recording last week but did the editing yesterday. When I had to recapture some footage I was like hmmm… I could just keep playing more of this 😂
There's just something special about New Vegas. The developers gave us complete freedom and managed to weave together many compelling narratives. The soundtrack is fantastic and the attention to detail when it comes to guns is something only Tarkov managed to best many years later.
I tend to struggle when talking about presentation cause I’m a mechanically minded kinda guy but it’s impossible not to talk about NV’s sound design. So good
This is the best Fallout game of all time in my opinion.
i am really hoping that if a remaster of nv happeness then bethsada brings back obsidan to help remake it
I could only imagine what that'd be like. The tone and setting of this game is fucking outstanding
both obsidian and bethesda are now owned by microsoft......so in a way, you'ld get exactly what you ask for
@@adamyounce8487 true you are right
@@adamyounce8487 it's amazing how a company could acquire so many game studios , yet do absolutely nothing productive with them lol good job MS
Now ain’t this a kick in the head
many nights falling asleep to that song being stuck in my head...
fianlly some good fucking content
I really appreciate it. I really wanted to do this game it’s due diligence!
This is my favourite Fallout game.
Fallout New Vegas was amazing…Fallout 3 & 4
fallout 3 was oblivion with guns but new vegas was fallout with a story, that the best distinction I can give for the difference between Bethesda fallout and obsidian entrainment
very well put
@@stonedskeletongaming you should do a full review on hardcore mode, base game is good but dlc food stuffs make it way easier down the line, with a minimum survival level of 40 you can make gecko kebabs which give both food and water, just eat one of those and knock back a atomic cocktail and your good for about three in game days, than bring 12 doctors bags and as many stims as you need, also you kind of have to build yourself right, I usually go for max strength intelligence and luck so I hit everything I shoot at have the most base max weight and be somewhat good with meds, btw I cant play new vegas on normal mode, after my second playthrough I was hooked
One of my favorite games and I still play it regularly.
Your accent is very interesting. I can tell you're an Aussie but it's very slight. Most Aussie CZcamsrs I've watched have very thick accents and it's strange to hear one that sounds almost American (I hope that's not insulting, it's not meant that way). Your voice has a kind of Duke Nukem quality to it.
I’m Australian born to a mostly American family so you’re spot on. I have US citizenship from my mother… so while I don’t consider myself an American, I technically am one 😂
Really good video man, you got a sub from me, I would love to see more Fallout vids from you, the algorithm sent me your way so now you must keep making videos till you have reviewed every game ever made, thems the rules!, I like the Aussie accent BTW as Im a Brit! 🧐
Haha that’s the goal! Thanks so much mate I appreciate it!
This kind of comment is what I get out of bed for haha
It's a great game but needed a bigger map.
For sure, though the way the game gives the illusion of a larger map is impressive
I would have liked a large area extended from the bottom of a decimated city area to contrast the world coming back as I liked the nuked out asthetic of fallout 3s map and how it juxtaposed the humor of the writing with such a grim setting.
I play Fallout 3, NV and 4 no VATS only. I tell people so they might think I am special! Actually I just get so used to VAT that I cannot hit anything in real time so It was easier for me just to give it up.
A tip for New Vegas that I learned from Fallout 3 is to pick the weapon people are shooting you at. At least the same ammunition. So in Fallout 3 I used the Assault Rifle against Super Mutants only. Works well in hardcore.
What do you mean "4 no VATS only"?
@@bricaaron3978 Fallout 4. Play like a shooter. By the way the trait Fast Shot will disable aimed shots (VATS) in the original Fallout.
@@bravalloy I don't know what you mean, though. There is no V.A.T.S. in Fallout, and there is no aiming either --- everything is turn-based.
Ummm a little late dont you think ? 😂 jk
better late than never ;)
Good review, but I must correct you on one thing. Need to sleep. No. Like you need to sleep couple hours every week and that's enough. Or you could just make coffee or drink atomic cocktails and never need to actually sleep (timers in GECK are like 1:50 which means 1sleep for 50 RL sec, or 200 sleep every 4 days and 4 hours + one hour of sleep makes 60 sleep or so fall so it's enough). That's a shame, really because even eat is too easy if you level survival skill. Now apart from that and me making a mod to enhance this aspect, I am addicted to the game like crazy man let me tell you.
for sure, sleep was the least pressing of the hardcore mode additions. I cannot tell you how much footage I got of me drinking from clean toilets to get my hydration up... thanks for pointing that out!
I prefer 3, probably because it was my first Fallout, but New Vegas is great.
3 was my first too and I have fond memories, but I'm almost scared to replay it in case it's worse than I remember, if that makes sense. One day
@@stonedskeletongaming I played 3 recently. All DLC and went to every location and did almost every quest. It was more fun than NV by design, just not as replayable
@@stonedskeletongaming When did you first play Fallout 3, and how long has it been since you played Fallout 3?
@@bricaaron3978 I first played Fallout 3 the day after it came out and the last time.... ohhhh like 2010 xD I might be due for a replay
@@stonedskeletongaming Yeah, lol, perhaps... At least it's worth another try after all of this time.
Best Fallout for sure
I’ve played 3 and 4 pretty extensively… yet to dive deep on the original 2 though
@@stonedskeletongaming Theyre good games, I really like Fallout 2. Fallout 1 has a lot of quirks that make it hard to play but the overall experience is worth it.
Yeah I loaded up 1 a few months back and was just like.... I dunno, underwhelmed. It didn't feel like how I wanted to spend my time, at the time. I know part of this youtube gig is playing games that don't make great first impressions, but games are tougher than others to push through and find the fun. Not saying I don't think there is fun in Fallout 1... more just at the time my mind wasn't in the mood for THAT kind of first impression.
Fallout 2 as I understand is everything Fallout 1 was but better, which is similar to Baldur's Gate 1 to BG2, but BG1 hooked me straight from the get go. One day I'm gonna take the time to "find the fun" of Fallout 1.
@@stonedskeletongaming Finding Fallout 1’s fun is honestly gonna depend on how much you like dialogue in games. Fallout 1 has some masterclass dialogue, but also some really BAD dialogue 😂 The Master has some of the best dialogue in the whole series, but you have to get to the end to even experience it, and if you have low speech you just can’t experience it at all 🤣
@@stonedskeletongaming F2 is bigger but I like F1's story telling more. But I also got to experience it when it was new. What's a Vault, or a mutant or a Deathclaw? And I grew up in the western US talking about if they were going to nuke us. :)
F1 has a nice tight story that can be finished long before the level cap. F2 is certainly bigger but the developers had different teams creating each area and I think it shows.
But if you go down this rabbit hole be sure and check out the hotkeys for using skills on objects. Just press F1 to see them. Oh and tag small guns. And for gods sake don't give auto weapons to a companion.
