New Vegas doesn't need much of an introduction. It's an incredibly janky, buggy mess with shit mechanics. But that's not why people love this game. This is another game where story trumps gameplay, and honestly, that's for the best. Unfortunately the game suffers in multiple parts. While there are consequences for choosing sides, those are, at best, shallow. Oh you want to work with the NCR? I guess Caesar's Legion will attack you now... That's about it.

Ultimately it's a game that suffers due to the short development time they had, but what they did complete is probably the best first person Fallout ever made. I've enjoyed my time with the game, but I'd rather be realistic about it than ignore the flaws that are there.

It's no masterpiece.
