You can aim down the iron sights of your weapon, instead of the antiquated zoom function in Fallout 3. The promise of a game made by some of the folks behind the originals, with modern touches? How could I say no?įallout: New Vegas introduces some refinements to the franchise, fixing many of the problems that Bethesda created when they brought the turn-based RPG series to the first-person shooter era. So imagine my delight when Obsidian Entertainment’s Fallout: New Vegas came out.
I didn’t much care for the loose mechanics, dated graphics, or the mediocre DLC, but I still sunk countless hours into it. Of course, fast-forward to 2008, when Fallout 3 released, and I fell in love with the setting.
Luckily, Bethesda gave away free copies of the first Fallout on Steam recently, so I’ll be able to give it a shot soon! Now I find myself regretting that judgment. Back then, I had it in my mind that games like that weren’t any good. Fallout always looked interesting to me it being one of those games I’d see in a CD jewel case in Wal-Mart for $15, but I never ended up buying it. Ain’t that a kick in the head? Or rather, a 9mm bullet.įallout: New Vegas has long been a favorite of mine, along with other titles such as those from the Mass Effect and Deus Ex franchises.
