So... What's good about it then?
- Huge free roam around the Nevada Desert.
- Many Weapons Including: The classical weapons we have today, and also Laser and Energy weapons of the Future.
- Personal Choices that Decide outcomes for the future.
- Personalisation, but your character how ever you want, you decide.
- A Realistic Look into a Post-Apocoliptic Wasteland and what would actually develop of mankind.
- Awesome Storyline.
There is so much more for the game itself. The PC version of the game allows the user to create and design there own item and place it in the game and this could be along the lines of: New weapons, Imports from different fallout games, New quests, New Character Details, New Misc. Items, even whole new lands and areas.
The PC extra gives oppertunity for learning and inspiration, personally I have done this and I enjoy it every much but if you are just into the Vanilla (Original) game then this is still a awesome choice!
Onto the bad parts... Unfortunatly.
- Various Crashes that DO have fixes.
(To be honest thats all I can think of).
If you have anymore Bad suggestions, that Is for the personal choice, I love the game the way it is and how it has been made. It is a fantastic game and if I am not happy with anything, with the PC version I can edit it. Which overall makes Fallout a better game on every platform of console.
EDIT: There are various Comments made here about the game running through Steam and it Loading forever. I do have a fix.
Buy a better computer. Fallout is a Massive game and requires good specs. I have ran it on a Laptop (With awful Frame Rate) but I have a gaming pc too which I had bought for around... £600, and to be honest It isnt the best but it runs Steam and Fallout New Vegas Perfectly. So honestly, if you are having problems with Fallout or Steam. Yeah its your PC's fault, not Fallout nor Steam.
***Update*** Originally I bought this game when it came out and after playing it for a few days I got bored and forgot about it. A few years went by, I was too busy to play any games but today (October 2015) I switched the Steam on and realised that I still have Fallout New Vegas installed. So I gave it another go and 6 hours flew past. What can I say, it seems more interesting than the first time I played it because I ended up being in the part of the map with many places to discover. In 6 hours I found 12 places and completed several interesting missions. This made the game more interesting, however I still find it a bit repetative and lacking action unlike Fallout 3. You can spend 10-15 minutes walking through desert without finding anyone to shoot. And what's even more annoying is that I have so many different guns and no ammunition - it's nowhere to be found (maybe because there is nobody to shoot?)
I still think it is a good game but Fallout 3 was more engaging and by all means more scary.
The thing that annoys me about this *product* however is that there is a massive description that doesn't actually tell you the disc basically requires you to download it off Steam.
Now, my setup at home is I have a laptop which I use for all my internet related stuff, and I have an www-isolated desktop which I use for gaming. I've had that many damn times where a *not quite complete* update gets released for something, screws it up and I've had to reinstall, and this avoids the conflict/loss of hours.
Now, if you need to connect to Steam to install it off the disc, or the disc enables you to download it off Steam, then wtf is the point in selling the disc? If I wanted to do this, I'd just *download it off Steam* and not wait for delivery.
See what I mean?
However, bugs and crashes are common, some of which breaks games, even though some of these bugs can be easily solved by fixing mistakes that were made in the development of this game, and yet many of these mistakes remain unpatched. The lack of random encounters that aren't legionary assassins makes traveling by foot in the game pretty boring compared to Fallout 3, the overall lack of enemies outside of designated areas makes the whole game boring to travel when most quests has been done and the sheer scale of it along with the emptiness makes it fairly tedious to travel.
Other than these issues however, it is an excellent game and deserves a high score.
