We're sure you can find a place among this amazing community. The community is home to lore discussions, gameplay challenges, weekly roleplay builds, memes, and more. I’m gonna be eyeballing the Steam winter sale sometime in the next couple of weeks, or maybe grabbing the 360 version. Welcome to r/falloutnewvegas, a great community full of many types of fans. I can’t believe this game has been there all along, it’s been properly praised and I just never actually understood the sheer depth that the praise was coming from. I had no idea that New Vegas basically was a game that embodied a ton of the story ambitions that I sometimes find myself casting onto newer game releases (like Cyberpunk) and that rarely, if ever, actually is achieved.

I legit always had a much more shallow idea of why people preferred New Vegas over the Bethesda Fallout games. My mind is kind of blown that this game just kind of slipped through my cracks. That’s the part that I never understood and never had a window to understand until it was exemplified in this video. I always thought that Fallout 1 and 2 comparison was largely just “it has the sardonic humor of the originals and Fallout 3 is too dry!” which is definitely seemingly true, but I feel like this video points out that Fallout 1 and 2 also had a very open spirit to the player’s relation to the narrative too.

I’ve never been a huge CRPG person so I never played Fallout 1 or 2 nor really made any attempt to try them out even as my gaming tastes expanded and I considered myself a Fallout 3 fan. My first contact with the Fallout series was Fallout 3 personally, so I never understood the context.

I had already seen the entire video on my first post but I have to admit that I’m still kind of in shock at the examples of this game’s narrative depth in the video.įor the longest time, my interpretation of all the praise was more or less “I like it the most because it resembles Fallout 1 and 2!!”

New vegas what in the goddamn
