You can try the "Fallout 2" MOD : "Fallout 1.5 - Resurrection"
"Interplay" (now "Obsidian Entertainment") - the original creators of "Fallout" and "Fallout 2"
Please iron your t-shirt đ
Luke - when your head half covers the flag behind you, it totally looks like you are in front of a Nazi flag. Just thought you should know.
Great game, played it a dozen times, with all endings. But to anyone who never played it, don't give up. I originally re-started 3 or 4 times before I got the hang of it and then was hooked. I still haven't done everything there is to do, not to mention all the dlc which I sort of blasted through, expecting them to release a new Fallout game every two years. LMAO what innocent times.
Can't possibly be nostalgia because I played through this for the first time a month ago, dlc and all, and it was a once in a lifetime sort of experience, bugs or not.
Same. 3 months for me. This game just pulls me in like the old saints rows games.
This. Starting last year I played through all of the Fallout games in order, for the first time. I had no nostalgia for them, and also no expectations as, even though I was aware of them, I didn't really pay attention to them and other RPG's. The only issue I had with New Vegas was (aside from just getting it to run at all on my new PC) was that it was a little cruder technically than Fallout 3 and the set up was different from the previous 3, but a few hours in I was really enraptured.
@@kritizismmusics9737 opinions on the new saints row? Lol..
I played for the first time in January and it is currently one of my favorite games ever made. Old and buggy or not, it's a phenomenal game. Truly once in a lifetime experience.
@@TheTongueTwisler tbh it was rarely buggy for me anyways lol
New Vegas is that kind of game that once you âfinishâ it you know that sometime soon you will certainly comeback to it
Idk, I played it last year, absolutely loved it, but I'm not sure I'm willing to go back to 150+ hours of such a massive game anytime soon.
@@kowxley1793 true. Iâve tried it at least 4 or 5 times now, sometimes Iâve gotten far into the story, but I ultimately just never finish it
Indeed, Iâm just wondering how the rest of the NCR is holding up after me and my army of robots blasted them to pieces!
Mate, Iâve normally got at least two playthroughs going on simultaneously. I get carried away with an idea for the next run and just end up starting itđ
@@kowxley1793 you don't need to do everything, just pick and choose what you want to do in that particular playthrough.
As a New Vegas citizen, there is no such thing as trying it again. Although, patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter
The reason places like the strip are so broken up with load screens isn't because of time at all. It's because they had a really outdated and limited game engine, that needed to run well on consoles. The game was *especially* hard to make function on the PS3. And remember, Obsidian had to learn how to even use the engine within the 18 month period. The strip was going to have a bunch more buildings, larger courtyards, more NPCs, and be one load zone. The issue was tech limitations meant loading 100 NPCs trying to all do their own schedules with flashy lights and tons of geometry would absolutely not function with the combination of software they were given, and hardware it would need to work on
Sadly they lost a lot and I mean a lot of the staff that worked on New Vegas, now theyâve had to slowly rebuild over the past several years and thanks to the success on the AA title outer worlds theyâll finally be able to make theyâre first AAA game since new Vegas
@@dillonn3918 I am absolutely hyped for Avowed, Obsidian is stepping up to the plate with their own Elder Scrolls
Imagine what this game could have been if they had another 18 months to work with. This is the kind of game that requires a minimum 3 years dev period
â@@Evelyn-qt3hi who cares? they don't even have the same writers and director.
........PS3 uses shared memory "outdated and limited game engine" ICANT
It wasn't just stability and performance that suffered because of the tight development time.
There's entire questlines and locations (the Vegas Strip like you mentioned) that had to be trimmed down into what we got, that is nothing compared to what was in the developer's vision.
There was supposed to be a region dedicated entirely to the Legion that never made it into the game, supposed to let you see how life is under them like there is for the NCR.
I'd want a full remake, Mafia style, just for all that cut content that never made it in. So that one of the greatest RPGs could be presented in its fullest like it was meant to be from the start.
I'd love to see this game get remastered with bug fixes, and added content they had to cut due to hardware limitations.
The DEmake would be SOULLESS
@@MichaelDoesLife There were a lot of features that got cut due to time and hardware limitations. Obsidian originally played for you to play after finishing the final battle, and have the world completely changed because of your actions. But they did have the extra time and hardware.
@@redhaze7663 true but I wouldn't be opposed to having rdr1 slotted into rdr2 as one big game, assuming the script wasn't tampered with. It's the only thing left I could see myself wanting from rockstar since what new shit they'll make will suck
Imagine a remaster with a reasonable amount of time to actually work on it
Unlike how they were rushed for the project.
And on Switch
I like the concept of seeing the lights from the Strip in the beginning (and all around the map) and you know, you will eventually enter the city. You are like drawn to it like a fly.
This is gonna sound wierd but that flaming logo behind your head looks like a certain WW2 bad guy faction logo.
Whatâs interesting is that the TV show is likely going to take place on the west coast. Not only the west coast but in vault 32 which is likely in the Mojave seeing how vault 34 is in Fallout New Vegas. I think even the tv shows directors agree that New Vegas has some of the most interesting lore and stories within the Fallout universe.
Vault number has nothing to do with location, if anything it means they're far apart
Your theory makes no sense as there is a vault 3 in the mojave and that number is far apart from 34. Like the previous comment said the number of the vault means nothing to the location.
It's being shot in New York mostly. Wouldn't make sense that it's in the mojave.
Itâll be set in a big city or near a big city. Chicago could be really cool since we know the brotherhood and enclave are in Chicago. As well as a large population of super mutants
For me, its the narrative that keeps me playing it again and again. The dialogue and characters are enough for me to forgive the technical issues. Tech
Exactly i wish more games today would understand this
you mean dynamic writing
@@jfelton3583 DOS2 was the most recent CRPG's or full pledge RPG's does this.
@@SL4PSH0CK don't know what that is
good writing doesnt matter if you cant play the game without it crashing or freezing...
I happen to be replaying this game right now, I am in the final moments of Dead Money DLC. The funny thing is that the game is better than I remembered, I cannot believe that it was made in less than two years, it's just mind-blowing. Probably the best game ever for me personally
The best rushed game ever, I think.
@@youarealwayscorrect there's also LOZ majora's mask that was made in one year.
@@Ghorda9 to be fair, Majora's mask was made much earlier (back when making an amazing and/or technically groundbreaking game could usually take less than one year) and didn't require so much working hours as an open world RPG with tons of quests, characters, replayability and stuff to do.
@@youarealwayscorrect they also didn't have a lot of technology back then either before a lot of breakthroughs happened, also new vegas reused a lot of stuff that fallout 3 had.
@@Ghorda9 fair point
Currently replaying this right now as well. About to start Honest Hearts, such a classic game
Crazy, I just finished honest hearts
@Ty Bey do you have the anti-stutter mod? That is broken since a windows update last year or so. Was having crashes every 5-10 minutes until I uninstalled.
@@TheIronGiant12 I had to turn wait to start, gotta get my survival skill up. Refuse to only carry 70 pounds lol
@@austinkrogstie615 lol, I like to go into dlc naked so I'm forced to use all the new items. Not that I always have a choice (looking at you dead money)
@Ty Bey nv is pretty unstable, if your adding a lot ofmods then your going to have problems. i run the game with only patch fix mods and anticrash mods and i still crash every so often.
I think fallout new Vegas is the best RPG because it lets you actually role play.
Yeah but Bloodborne letâs you role play as Jack The Ripper so..
@@oracle8589 but can you join the legion tho?
I still remember the Battle of Hoover Dam, I was completely blown away when the Enclave arrived in class. Totally forgotten I'd done the side quests for them. The final dialogue between the player and Legate Lanius is by far my favorite interaction with an antagonist in any game I've played.
âDefinitively probablyâ what a quote lol
Don't forget alot of people on Obsidian CREATED fallout.
A remake of New Vegas with an expanded strip and better fleshed out Legion is needed
I went back to New Vegas myself recently although I never played it past level 10 or so.
After all these years the game still holds up remarkably as an RPG, the crashes and bugs are still just as annoying as I remember lol. I can deal with the crashes and Bethesda style jank but the quest bugs are still unacceptable. I would absolutely love to see the game remastered. Not remade, as Im sure Bethesda would be in charge and ruin it.
Love the game to death but I'm doing a fresh, no mod playthrough, and I got a crash on "Hey you're awa---" đ
@@MrSkeltal268 lmao I feel your pain. Iâm running New Vegas on my Series X so yeah it would be a real Boone to have mod supportđ! (See what I did there?)
Yeah, if you want a truly stable and improved Fallout New Vegas experience you absolutely have to play it on PC with mods...a shit load of mods.
@@brandonwooldridge1877 you can easily just follow the viva new vegas guide and mod the game. It can be run on a laptop for little investment
Annnnnd now my save is corrupted and I get the new Vegas wheel of death on loading. Arrrgh
Fallout New Vegas will go down in history as one of the greatest RPGs ever existed.
Without a doubt
Fallout 3 better
Facts
@@MichaelDoesLife Hey Michael didn't expect you here lol
@@MichaelDoesLife I donât think it would rank higher as an rpg since imo, thereâs less consequence to actions than in new Vegas. But I do have major nostalgia blinders on for the game since it was my first fallout and I do love it.
I've always preferred Fallout Brown over Fallout Green.
If you see the Fallout 3/NV remake mods in F4 you can see just how amazing they look 10/10 if they remade those games like these modders are doing I would buy them all over again
i would literally buy 4 copys to tell bethesda yea have a studio do this for all ur old games lmaoo
I'm glad I'm not the only one that felt New Vegas was a western.
New Vegas is still awesome, best quests and world to explore.
The whole "wild west meets post-apocalyptic genre" is somehing that I hope other games should explore.
I know that not everybody is into modding, but just using a few community patches, the game is actually really stable and even more fun to play. There are even patches which merge the parts of the Strip into one single area.
Playing a Beth game on PC without a mod is just blasphemy. The issue that a lot of newer players fall into the traps of trying to following these advanced mod lists with ridiculous amounts of mods that completely change the developers intent for the game and make it perform like shit because the engine was not designed for these intense visual mods, no matter how powerful your PC is. People get turned off from that and just want to experience the original game so don't mod at all. The middle ground is the Vanilla+/minimalist modding approach. They are a handful of mods that you should never start up New Vegas without.
Bullshit I tried evrey mod, ini file changes, win 10 changes, etc... for months to make this trash game run without crashes but nothing worked. No matter what I did the game would crash or freeze and what's worse is that it was never consistant so it was hard to try and pin point an exact cause. Which is a shame becuase the game seems very fun.
@@mrwillard95 Sorry to say it, but you did something wrong. Or your rig might be incompatible somehow. I'm running 100+ mods without any issues at all. The only times I've had any issues was when the load order was wrong. That can really wreak havoc.
@@AVerySillySausage That last sentence is why no one should buy starfeld at lauch becuase more than likely you'll need a handful of mods to make it stable. Also having a lot of mods can break a game, but their games are already broken in their base vanilla state.
@@laurensnieuwland4657 So even after using community fix mods, not downloading any mods, reinstalling the game and installing windows on a new pc that still makes the game unplayable for me?
On second thought maybe certian software conflicts with the game but I have no patience to delete programs one by one to see if the runs without crashing. Then again fallout 3 and 4 has it's issues but they're far more stable than new vegas.
I always found it kinda cool that you had to maintain your gun, and that you could make better bullets for you gun. Fallout 3 had a pretty good story, but New Vegas is just as good if not better, and a more refined gameplay to boot. Also New Vegas is the first game that put a bit of fear on me because how dangerous the wildlife is, especially those stupid Deathclaws and Giant Wasp. Also when I think about the best RPG games in general, it is usually compared to New Vegas standards, meaning this game set the bar on what a great RPG is.
That being gone took something out of it for me
I replayed this again recently and I loved every moment. Phenomenal game.
You should really mod this game nowadays. You can fix tons of things, add tons of features and add npcs and combine broken up areas like the Strip and Freeside
I like how in this game, you can play the negotiater and talk your way out of trouble in the end.
I can absolutely not wait for the star wars open world FNV mod
It's hard to return to something that I never left. I've been low-key replay New Vegas two to three times a year since 2010
Speaking of Monster Hunter, I would love to know your opinion on the series. I know it's not narrative driven, so it might be a bit off your radar. I think though, it is one of the most satisfying gameplay loops that I've ever experienced. And just so so so much charm in their art design and world building.
Fallout 2 and Fallout New Vegas are my favourite Fallout games. They both greatly improved on their predecessor. For me, they are the best in the series.
Always watch your vids then go over to twitch, your the only reason I have ever used twitch! Keep up the great work. Your channel is always high end content, no click bait and rubbish! I bet there is so much hard work behind the scenes.
If New Vegas got a Demons Souls level remake I would cry.
Zoomer
@@MichaelDoesLife My guess the majority of this channels viewers are people who are considered gen z.
Could you imagine a Game of Thrones video game made by Obsidian?
patiently waiting for the Fallout 4 New Vegas Mod to come out
New Vegas is something truly special, yeah I was a kid when I got into it but started another run for the first time in years the other week and I'm having a blast. The true remastered treatment would be amazing.
Oh shit, a Luke New Vegas video. Now THAT'S a treat. Thanks for making this pal.
your lava lamp thing with the logo on had me double looking at the logo thinking is was something else lol
Another reason why thereâs so many gates with the Strip, is because of the extremely limited technology known as the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
IÂŽve played New Vegas way back and I was blown away with the story/narrative, I would love to see a remake of this masterpiece, btw you should check Thymesia, is an action rpg ''souls like''
Man, between New Vegas and KOTOR 2, Obsidian just couldn't catch a break and yet they just made classics.
Playing allot old games recently and its crazy to see how some games are better than I remember and others are not as good. But games I have not played before like the Warriers, Manhunt, Bully, Witcher 2, Fallout3 turned out to be much better than I expected. It is really interesting to see how your perspective can change.
We live in the alternate PS5 timeline where you can't load up a native port of Fallout 3/4, Max Payne 3, 90% of Metal Gear, and 60 fps for Red Dead 2/Far Cry 3 and 4/Bloodborne is nonexistent. I'm sure I'm missing more
That logo in the background kinda looks like a swastika if Luke's head blocks parts of it.
Based.
Fallout 3 is my favourite, Iâm not sure why maybe the depressing ambience or maybe the game felt more complete
Can't believe this is still unmatched among rpgs in tems of choices and writing. To think that attires and armors of a faction makes you camouflage as that specific faction.
Camouflage is nothing new hitman have that long time
@@Crowolff Hitman was the king of it.
@@Crowolff to have that in an rpg is not only unique to fallout series but in rpgs in general. It makes the world so much more believable. Saying hit an did it first make you look like you didn't really understand the context.
A new Vegas remake with graphics similar to the demon souls remake and fallout 4âs combat system/inventory system with a multiplayer coop system would be so cool.
the lonesone road dlc was the deepest shit ive ever seen in a video game when i played it in 2013
OWB is my favourite DLC
NV is one of my more memorable experiences with games that don't have a black&white narrative. For instance, you do a quest to find out what's happening with some false transmissions from the Rangers. Deaths & other bad things are reported while nothing has actually happened. Eventually you track down the source and you are presented a really convincing case why it's done and you get to choose whether you want to stop it OR, maybe let them proceed doing that because they're just trying to take care of the NCR. (This just one quest of MANY with unexpected twists)
Vanilla is hopelessly bugged and crashes on me so often. The Viva new vegas mod guide is pretty much a must. I have had only one crash with that list over like 120h of gameplay.
Thanks for mentioning that mod nv was one of the first games I got when I got my pc and it crashes more than any game I needed something to help with that
I recently got a 360 copy of NV and the nostalgia is so real. I first played it when it came out. I was a senior in high school then. đđ„ș
I literally just watched your video on New Vegas yesterday
And to think, a unassuming studio could make something with dynamic writing like this in only a year. Truly a feat, even/especially among the games out today. It's just something special.
Been playing this on pc for the first time and played New Vegas on Xbox 360 and I forgot how much I loved this , yes graphics are fine but the atmosphere, art style, characters and of course the whole story is great and it still blows my mind this was done in 18 months which they did for Kotor2 and like that and made another RPG masterpiece
I love this looking back series, I'd like to see you do some much older titles, like legacy of kane soul rever!
1 year later, we have Starfield, which makes FNV seem like a no load game!
Currently playing NV for basically the first time on my series x. Runs so well and loving it!
Iâm super interested in your arkham stuff, because iâm a die hard arkham fan (especially asylum and city) and hearing your bit in the beginning about city not holding up is really interesting. Always down for another opinion
Why Yes Luke, I Remember Rasputia...
Norbit is truly GOAT
Some mods can do wonders for the game's stability. Get yourself JSawyer Ultimate Edition, the FNV 4GB Patcher, New Vegas Anti Crash, and Yukichigai Unofficial Patch, and that will drastically reduce the number of issues. Not to zero, but close.
Death claws weren't introduced in New vegas. The cazadores were
on the nostalgia part i didnt actually give NV a proper shot until 2019 after playing it once in 2015 and going bro this is just a bit to jank, after actually giving it a shot i can safely say that imo it was the best rpg id ever played which i certainly did not expect but yea id say its def not nostalgia when it comes to wut they were trying to do wit the roleplaying systems the factions and the overall narrative and how it can change based on ur decision feels really natural, they just executed so well, id really say the thing holding it back from being in the conversation of the best game of all time is really just how janky the game is i mean it is a problem when the game feels worse to play than halo ce and in some instances even half life 1, god i hope the fallout 4 nv team can finish it and execute on it cuz that could be something else if they can get it righ
New vegas isn't just my favorite Fallout game it's my favorite game of all time and has been since like 2013/2014
Man I would do anything for a full remake of New Vegas
Steam sale going on for it right now too!
I have played NV several times over and even still I find things that I missed. For example Papa Khan can name you his Heir if you destroy Forlorn Hope in the Legion Quest
A remaster on this game would be pretty crazy
Loved it, both the game and your review!
One of my favorite games of all time. I must have completed it at least twenty times. About the bugs, it's important to mention that not all bugs are harmful. Some help the player, like repeatable skillchecks for XP and fame.
Would love to see videos on these games
Doom 3
F.E.A.R
Condemned
Serious Sam 2 (Not Second Encounter)
Time Shift
Silent Hill 4 & Downpour
Am I the only one that thinks the logo behind him looks like a sw*stika banner?
My fav part of the Bethesda jank is the way walking over small objects/junk launches you harder than a space shuttle.
I will never understand how Skyrim gets remade over and over and over but Fallout NV & Oblivion are left behind. Especially when there's videos of what content the devs wanted in NV before the time push.
One of my favorites of all time, warts and all.
*This game will always hold up*
The loadscreens when you replay on modern hardware, my series x for instance, are immediate
I got NV when I built my pc 2 years ago. I was really excited to play it with mods but damn, getting this game to run properly, even without mods was such a chore. I played it, I played all the DLC. I donât ever wanna play it again.
Will you go back to From Software titles? DS 1, 2, 3, Bloodborne, Sekiro?
The best part about it is you can easily mod all the bugs and jank out!
There's even an easy to follow guide on it: Viva New Vegas
I played this on Pc and one of the main things that stood out to me was how many times my game crashed because I kept loading into new areas mainly different buildings and rooms. But aside from that issue the game is pretty good. I spent 45 hours just exploring the wasteland and every minute was worth it no matter how many times I perished to Caesar's legion. 10/10 would recommend.
About sprint story you mentioned earlier, it's weird for Bethesda at that time didn't think of adding a sprint feature for the game, even more so during Oblivion development when many games at that time already have sprinting mechanic especially with First Person Shooter games like Battlefield and Call of Duty, but this was a time where they tried to experimenting on how tabletop role-playing RPG work in a 3rd dimensional 1st dimensional work. Like, in Bethesda Fallout and Obsidian Fallout New Vegas, having high AGILITY increase your running speed, as is sprint in that kind of sense. Low AGILITY make you walk and run slow but also your firearms reloading speed. It's bizarre that until Fallout 4 they decided to introduced sprinting just because they no longer try to appeal the tabletop RPG mechanic when modding community can actually make it work without streamlining the game that much of it's core value being a role-playing game.
Loved this gameâŠmy issue was with the endless loading screen at Hoover damn and then all my corrupted save filesâŠthis was back on Xbox 360 havenât played it since
I never really have experienced bugs or performance issues while playing this game. The only thing I have experienced is 3 crashes max, perhaps I have been lucky lol. This game is probs my fav of all time tbh :) good vid bro
You have been lucky, this might be one of my favorite games ever but man it had problems at launch
Same
Tig was the first game I got every achievement on. Itâs a masterpiece.
I just finished my first playthrough after i bought it and all dlc on sale through steam. Played pure vanilla no mods. Had many sudden crashes, but i save meticulously so no big deal. Only had one quest breaking bug but i remedied it by using the console to summon the missing npc. 9/10
You should try out the game with Josh Sawyer official, latest patch for the game that fixes some bugs, restored some cut NPCs, cut dialogues and cut content but also make the pre-order pack DLC scattered around the Mojave Wasteland so player can have the incentive to explore and find it instead getting it for free at the start of the game. The mod is called Jsawyer mod, one of the last patch made by developer of Obsidian.
New Vegas also basically used all of the assets, models, scripting, and other things fallout 3 that Bethesda had made and tweaked it a bit. That gave them a lot of time to work on what they did best in this game: storytelling and rpg branching choices
Hey Luke, even before the pop up of Red dead 1 came up when breifly speaking on better looking games released in 2010 i was thinking if youve played it ( im sure you have) , if you havent done a video would you do a one on going back to Red Dead 1?
Finished 3times and picked it up two days ago to finish Lonesome Road and my fourth playtrough, still lovee it 10 years later even with bugs and horrible graphics
They really need to remaster this game idc if the graphics or the gameplay stays the same, I just want all of bugs purged. such a great game but it's held back by the bugs cause of how little time they had to develop it
It would be great if you put the stability mods you mentioned in the description.
First I'd played NV on a PC within a year or two after it came out. Then sometime later on PS3. Then again, several times few years ago on a PC. And i'd never finished it. I can't remember why (maybe bugs or maybe other games) but i can remeber it beeing so great with many memorable moments. I have to give it another try. Thanks, man :)
This is the game I have spent the most hours playing ever. Never finished it. Reason? Too many character options. I used to restart the game when I had the urge to take advantage of a different character build, like charismatic cult leader, or braindead, chem addicted lunatic.
On my first play through and this game is insanely immersive even with all game breaking bugs đ
I started it and finished the main story like a month ago and then tried some docs, had some really good times but ultimately it ended up getting a bit boring in the middle of Old World Blues, so I'm gonna stop playing for a bit and then come back to it hopefully with renewed energy
New Vegas is definitely the best. 3 was good. 4 was just same story as 3 which was kinda eh for me. Usually if I go to play one I go to vegas for sure
On my third play through of new vegas rn and I'm still in love with the game. Given that the game is over a decade old often times I wish it had features brought into fallout 4 but still great
Waiting for your say on upcoming Last of Us Part 1, that Ps5 remake
Played this game to death years ago, havenât played it for ages. Might have to play it again
I love this guy. He has the most basic takes of all time and it takes him 30 minutes to say almost nothing at all and come to the conclusion that every single person on the internet came to years ago. Great channel.
So true
Amen.
I play New Vegas at least a couple times every year, I still find something new even all these years later. Personally itâs my favourite fallout đ
