• Recommended Posted December 15, 2025 on Steam I have played this game since its release as well as fallout 3 and fallout 4. I have countless hours across xbox copies, gog buys, *downloaded* copies, another steam account, and also have over 2,000 hours just on this steam account across the fallouts with this one being the most. with the amount of time ive spent playing new vegas, i couldve gotten a good college degree or mastered some skill. I have yet to go to college, i live at my moms house, and im 27. But i do still play this game. its pretty good
• Recommended Posted January 3, 2026 on Steam This game is great, but the game on Steam is riddled with bugs, what I recommend doing for this if you're interested in playing this game is to go on Nexus Mods, install NVSE, extract the file and copy and paste the extracted files into your game files, get the 4GB patcher also on Nexus mods, install and extract the file, copy and paste it and run the file in the Fallout New Vegas file, after all of that you can now enjoy the game with less crashes or if you want to add in mods that you like into the game. And remember; Mojave? Mo' Problems!
• Recommended Posted December 22, 2025 on Steam Just had to say that this is selling for 4.99 while fallout 76, is selling for 3.99. A decade older and still outperforming the newest installment, makes you wonder, was the game rigged from the start?

[Terrifying Presence] If you don't buy this game, i will make sure you never see the light of the day again. [Barter] This great game for this low, low price?! You can't pass a opportunity like this, my friend. [Intelligence] I have calculated the chance of you not having fun in this game. It's lower than 1%. [Low Intelligence] You buy pizza warm game for big fun. [Confirmed Bachelor] You know, this game makes your penis ten times bigger. [Explosives 35/15] How about game or boom? <Lie> This game sucks.
• Recommended Posted January 16, 2026 on Steam Fallout: New Vegas is one of those games that doesn’t just let you roleplay, it dares you to. From the moment you crawl out of a shallow grave with a hole in your head, the game basically looks at you and says: “Alright. Be a hero. Be a villain. Be an idiot. I don’t care. Just commit.” And that’s the magic of it. The writing is absurdly good, and the factions are easily the strongest part of the game. They’re all clear reflections of real historical ideologies and power structures, just filtered through a radioactive blender. Empires, dictatorships, failing republics, technocracies, it’s all there. And the wild part? They all make sense. Now, yeah, some of them are straight up awful. In my opinion, Independent and the Legion are both terrible choices. The Legion is brutal, cruel, and horrifying. Independent is basically “good luck, Mojave, you’re on your own.” But even then… the game does something rare: it makes you understand why they exist. The Legion is evil, no debate, but their obsession with order and stability comes from a real place. The NCR is bloated, corrupt, and inefficient… but they’re trying to rebuild civilization. Mr. House is a control freak billionaire fossil… but he genuinely has a long-term plan. Every faction is horrible in some way, and every faction has a point. It feels uncomfortably realistic, like actual history instead of video game morality. And despite my personal opinions, I’ve played every faction multiple times, yes, even the Legion. Do I like them? Absolutely not. Do I think they’re a valid choice within the logic of the world? …annoyingly, yes. That’s how well it’s written. No matter who you side with, the game makes it feel justified if you think about it from the right angle. There is no clean ending, no perfect outcome, just different flavors of consequences. The Mojave itself is empty in the best way. It feels lonely, dangerous, and quietly hostile, like the desert is just waiting for you to mess up. And you will mess up. Constantly. Probably because you tried to fistfight a Deathclaw at level 6 “just to see what would happen.” Combat is janky. The engine is held together by duct tape and hope. Sometimes NPCs forget how doors work. Sometimes physics decides today is a comedy show. But honestly? That just adds to the charm. New Vegas isn’t polished, it’s characterful. The DLCs are also insane in the best way. Dead Money is psychological torture, Honest Hearts is beautiful and tragic, Old World Blues is unhinged sci-fi nonsense, and Lonesome Road is basically the game staring into your soul and asking why you make the choices you do. Incredible stuff. And the mods? Oh, the mods. Fixes, overhauls, meme weapons, anime companions, total conversions, if you can imagine it, someone’s probably broken their game trying to install it. Fallout: New Vegas is flawed, messy, morally uncomfortable, and brilliant. It doesn’t ask you to pick the right side, it asks you which disaster you can live with. Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter. Almost.
