    I played Skyrim and fall out 4, years ago as a young kid/man. Over the last few months I felt very bored. Work, gym, wife, kids, repeat. I missed gaming, I almost forgot I used to play and enjoy video games since life kind of took me as a prisoner. I bought the series x last week and searched the Microsoft store. My wife made fun of me saying “I didn’t know you liked video games omg”. I told her I wanted something to just relax to…I was gonna just download fallout 4 again and replay it but I saw New Vegas for $7. I was skeptical at first since it seemed so old but man.. this game has captured me. It gave me that feeling Skyrim did all those years ago. I think about it at work, I wanna play when I’m out shopping, I look forward to Friday so I can stay up until 3 am playing. New Vegas made me love gaming again and it’s made me remember apart of my that I forgot.

    One small detail I like about the intro video (before the narration) is that it presents all the factions. We start at the Lucky 38 (Mr. House's home and central location in the game). The we see some NCR troopers in the Strip and then an NCR ranger next to McCarran. Then we see Legion soldiers. And finally we see Benny and the Khans (representing the independent route). It's an awesome intro that illustrates the central theme in the game. It's not the wasteland like in FO3, but the factions and people that inhabit it that matter.

    There actually is a peaceful option between the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel. It requires you to complete the Brotherhood questlines fully and keep McNamara as Elder. Once the NCR tells you to go wipe them out, tell McNamara about it and he'll tell you to tell the NCR that they want to assist in the Battle of Hoover Dam.

    Personally I think House is the best choice because you end up as his right-hand man, with enough authority to change New Vegas however you see fit while still benefiting from having a governing body and House's restoration of the old world infrastructure. Basically it's the Yes Man ending, but with the most technologically advanced society in the wasteland as opposed to total chaos.

  • @NewVegasPsycho
    @NewVegasPsycho 5 วันที่ผ่านมา +2

    I'm a teenager, and grew up on the 360 because we always waited years after the release of consoles to buy the next. Lego Batman 2, Terraria on the 360, Halo Reach, Plants VS Zombies, and Arkham City took up more than half my free time. Eventually, the power button went red, and the console hummed itself to sleep.
    That was that, and we bought the Xbox One a few months after. Out of nostalgia, I asked for another Xbox 360 last year, and it was the best decision I ever made. Pulled the hard drive out of the old, dusty, broken Xbox, and slid it into the new one, with hundreds of games, Metro, New Vegas, Fallout 3, the Arkham Games, Skyrim, Fable, Halo, etc. I gave Fallout 3 a try, and enjoyed it, but as someone used to Fallout 4, I lost interest because I never enjoyed the game and never took my time with it. Out of sheer boredom, I booted up New Vegas. The music made me wet, the NCR armor gave me chills, and the Wild West was something I yearned for after beating Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2. I love RPG's with a passion, and when I was able to create my character with depth just short of Skyrim, I was hooked. Went for a diplomat build, crawled my way across the desert on one leg, (The game was a fresh and difficult.) and reached New Vegas. I played for countless hours, got lost in Vault 22, explored New Vegas, softlocked the game, saved the president, and fought alongside the NCR in the battle for Hoover Dam just to betray them and take over New Vegas. I played it again and again and again, and I'm starting my fourth playthrough. This is the best game I've ever played. Fuck Fortnite, fuck Fallout 76, and FUCK MWIII. This is the only game that I will enjoy the most.

  • @DominatorLegend

    29:00 Quick-select exists on PC, so i guess it exists in some way on other platforms.
    Just go to inventory in Pip Boy with item you want to set and hold a button from 1-9 on keyboard and select it.
    -You need stims? Set 7 and click it whenever you are low on hp (but autostims exists)
    -You want to switch from 10mm pistol to SMG? Set 2 and press it in need of damage
    -Low on AP? Press 6 and enjoy that sweet sound of jet inhaling
    And if you double press button set to weapon, it will unequip the weapon, leaving you with bare fists.

      I remember Old World Blues being pretty great for how it amps the "Science" aspect of the game up to a hundred, with some pretty good weaponry and, a personal favorite, plenty of nods to the Venture Brothers cartoon.
      Dead Money was another great spin on the "Heist" story type. With interesting characters, setting and how it was very survival focused.
      The base game certainly remains an outstanding piece of architecture on how to make an RPG, but the expansions certainly added quite a bit.

Themes, characters, and storylines are super interconnected in each DLC whilst still being strong enough on their own to allow the player to play each in whatever order they desire and still get something unique out of each. Dead Moneys horror atmosphere, Honest Hearts exploration, Old World Blues technological zaniness, and The Divides brutal journey, each DLC is amazing. Trust me when I say these DLCs are more then worth doing. Quite honestly I personally consider them, as a package, the best DLC ever created.
