However, if you often find yourself ripped out of gaming experiences due to crippling bugs and possibly game-breaking glitches, you might want to reconsider spending the next 30+ hours with Obsidian's latest.įallout: New Vegas sets its stage in the Mojave Wasteland. If what you're after is an addictive, well-written adventure that can go on for hours then this is a game you should play. There are two core considerations to be made with Fallout: New Vegas. However, under the microscope on a graphical and mechanical level, the games are worlds apart.

Obsidian Entertainment has made a name for itself over the years as a developer who could take another developer's property and spin it into a sequel that nearly reaches the same quality found in the original.
