I see you have a good sniper rifle but you can always use a cool side arm 47 head to Hokkaido and complete the Dexter discordance and you shall receive the most powerful pistol in the game. Here is your briefing Amos Dexter is a famous Hollywood actor at the gala facility for a routine check he has brought his personal gun with him your contract requires you to get the gun and kill Amos Dexter. Also all trespassers in your room must be eliminated. I will leave you to prepare.
The New Vegas review is finally out. In a world filled with great misery and uncertainty, it is a great comfort to know that in the end, there is a light in the darkness. - Joshua Graham
In all honesty the light at the end of the tunnel, is most likely another train. - Slavoj Zizek I feel like that’s a good quote for fallout new Vegas stuff.
I played Skyrim and fall out 4, years ago as a young kid/man. Over the last few months I felt very bored. Work, gym, wife, kids, repeat. I missed gaming, I almost forgot I used to play and enjoy video games since life kind of took me as a prisoner. I bought the series x last week and searched the Microsoft store. My wife made fun of me saying “I didn’t know you liked video games omg”. I told her I wanted something to just relax to…I was gonna just download fallout 4 again and replay it but I saw New Vegas for $7. I was skeptical at first since it seemed so old but man.. this game has captured me. It gave me that feeling Skyrim did all those years ago. I think about it at work, I wanna play when I’m out shopping, I look forward to Friday so I can stay up until 3 am playing. New Vegas made me love gaming again and it’s made me remember apart of my that I forgot.
@@remrem-gx3mlI'll die right there with you lol. Only thing Skyrim really did better was the combat feels slightly better. Still nowhere near what you can achieve with a few mods though so I don't give Bethesda much credit for that considering literally everything else was a downgrade. Even the voice acting somehow got worse even though it was mostly the same people in each of the games lol.
@@remrem-gx3ml oh...you mean the game in which you actually have to grind stats in order to not fall behind the enemies? where wolves and bears will own your level 25 god simply because they have so many hit points and you don't.
I was going through the actual Mojave desert and said "Patrolling the mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear wasteland" and my brother replied yelling "If the legion breaks our defenses I'm saving one bullet for me" and my mom asked what the hell we were talking about.
Benny's suit is a perfect analogy for the morality in this game. It seems simply black and white from afar, but once you get too close, you'll see plenty of gray in a lot of areas.
A detail I really liked about the game is how the only "unkillable" character in the game (aside from children), Yes Man, can actually be killed, but always returns and says how he has like a gazillion body replacements around. Obsidian found a way to make a character's immortality not only canon, but plausible.
@@Hammer56Time and console limitations. It’s been said the strip + freeside were supposed to be completely open with zero loading screens just like in the CGI trailer, but consoles couldn’t handle that. Mods fix this and it makes a world of difference.
@@sunshoe-l5r I modded the absolute fuck out of NV with all sorts of quality of life, graphical, and gameplay mods then played all the way through and all the dlc. One of the best games I have ever played easily
"You literally cannot experience everything New Vegas has to offer in a single playthrough. If you put all your points into lockpicking, you can open everything. But you can't convince this kid to buy drugs from you, and that's a real tragedy."
I remember, I walked into Caesar's camp on my first playthrough and started blasting, and kept thinking, "there's no way I can just kill this guy, he's the main villain of the game" and then Boone blew his head off right in front of me. That's when I realized this game was truly something special.
I was always a big fan of Boone unintentionally jump-scaring me by blowing the brains out of enemies that I didn't even know were there xD I'd just be walking somewhere and suddenly the screen jump-zooms to some slow-mo footage of a legionarie's head exploding from 12,000 feet in the opposite direction. I'd turn around in time to see Boone running back to me, having snuck off without my noticing.
The fact there even is an ending to this game is a weird feeling. The sky feels like the limit when exploring the world, it’s quests, leveling your character, etc. Just picked this game up and just scratching the surface of the game it’s already one of my favorites. This video put into words everything and more that I would never be able to say about this game.
On Hardcore difficulty if you recruit any allies and they die during the journey you get unique dialogue about their death in the end credits and the mark they left. Now that's dedication to the writing.
Sadly that’s the one thing that prevents me from playing hardcore mode. Ammo weight, managing food, water, sleep, that’s all whatever, the part that ruins it for me is companions being able to die.
I will never forget wiping out all of the powder gangers in the prison, and walking into nipton to find that guy with his legs crippled in the shop, and he goes “I just had my legs crippled, and now the grim fucking reaper of the powder gangers is standing in front of me” or something like that. I thought it was so cool that they had different dialogue for your standing with the factions
28:46 Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else in the comments, but NV does have a quick-select "wheel". It's just the part with binding weapons and items that's a bit... hidden. Hover over the item you'd like to quick-select, hold the number you want it bound to and click the item in the inventory. It really helps keep the flow of the action during fights
I remembered Skyrim has this, so I figured it was worth a try in NV. I was so glad to find out it's in the game, saves a lot of awkward mid-fight pausing and searching in your inventory
@@o7Laboratory right? i had to pause the video and go to the comments cause like how are you gonna complain about something that's in the game as if it's not?
Awesome! Not installing mods for now, I've beaten more than half of the game and I can't wait to have lvl 25 so that I can play this one dlc and get desert ranger armor XDD Anyways it's great. Tho I had to take a break cuz exams n all that lol
33:54 Fun Fact: The actual town of Goodsprings in Nevada has a Fallout New Vegas Festival every year on the game's anniversary. One festival they did got 500 attendees and was such a good boost for the town's economy. They plan to do it every year from then on.
Correction: They held the first festival this year. And still got 500 people to attend in a small town in the middle of a desert. They want to make it an annual event.
When I was playing the NV for the first time, I've stumbled upon a quest about rescuing NCR soldiers from a mine. I went in, killed some legion boys, opened the cages and... the quest ended. This freaked me out, because it seemed too simple. So I reloaded and sneaked in to explore the mine before saving the soldiers. Found nothing. Then I put on some legion armor and tried speaking to the legion troops in the mine. Still nothing! This quest was driving me crazy, so I resorted to googling all the possible outcomes. And, surprise-surprise, I instantly found out that the alternative solutions were cut from the final release. And then it hit me. The rest of the game was so AWESOME, that a simple quest "Do exactly the thing you were asked to do and get rewarded" didn't fit in. To this day I've never experienced anything like that. New Vegas is still the best RPG ever made.
legion was supposed to have much more content, but time constraints prevented it from being fully fleshed out. The devs never intended for the legion to have the least amount of content for a faction.
@@MGSVxBreakpoint “Damn you Stormcloaks. Skyrim was fine until you came along. Empire was nice and lazy. If they hadn’t been looking for you, I could’ve stolen that horse and been half way to Hammerfell. You there. You and me - we shouldn’t be here. It’s these Stormcloaks the Empire wants.”
You forgot one thing in the being able to kill everyone and continue. There is one major safeguard being Yesman, you can “kill” him but his programming gets sent to another robot. This is to prevent the player from soft locking themself out of one of the endings in a way that doesn’t feel cheep and instead make since
I hope if ever.. the next sequel for NV rewards players for completing the speech check if their stats were 10 food higher and w/ diff dialog if lower by one there's a chance it'll succeed but had set backs compare to passing the speech check.
Fun fact: You *can* quick select your items, its just that nothing ever tells you! In the inventory hold a numerical key other than 2 and select an item and that key becomes a quick select key for the item! Why not 2? Because that's the hotkey to swap ammo type. Oh yeah, nothing tells you about that either.
I mean, the game doesn't "explicitely" tell you, but the option 'is' there. On my PS3 controller, it tells me to use RB (basically R1) for quick select. Then you just press on the D-pad which item you wanna use.
"I'd love the option to quickselect items" Its already in the game Act Man, you csn set hotkeys while in the pip boy so that you can equip guns and healing items with the press of a button.
I genuinely didnt know you could play the game for so long and not know that, wtf xD Isn't there a part on the pipboy UI that says the exact button/key that would be used for assigning hotkeys?
The point I knew the game's writing matched me was when that Kahn said, "You're supposed to be dead!" I verbally replied "I got better." And then saw the dialogue option. It was at this point I knew the writing in this game was for me.
never tried the dlcs or knew much about them i just know that the main game is a really good one and fallout 3 too dlcs for me are usually worse than the main game itself
@@D00000T Well, I suppose it depends on how you look at it. I remember Old World Blues being pretty great for how it amps the "Science" aspect of the game up to a hundred, with some pretty good weaponry and, a personal favorite, plenty of nods to the Venture Brothers cartoon. Dead Money was another great spin on the "Heist" story type. With interesting characters, setting and how it was very survival focused. The base game certainly remains an outstanding piece of architecture on how to make an RPG, but the expansions certainly added quite a bit.
@@Micecheese I cannot recommend the DLCs for New Vegas more, they are amazing for the simple fact that they are so cohesively connected. Themes, characters, and storylines are super interconnected in each DLC whilst still being strong enough on their own to allow the player to play each in whatever order they desire and still get something unique out of each. Dead Moneys horror atmosphere, Honest Hearts exploration, Old World Blues technological zaniness, and The Divides brutal journey, each DLC is amazing. Trust me when I say these DLCs are more then worth doing. Quite honestly I personally consider them, as a package, the best DLC ever created.
i feel like I'm fundamentally missing part of this- like its a joke and the punchline falls flat, i like comedy so it'd be really cool if you could help with this joke of me not understanding, i live in the California republic where taxes aren't always displayed from my previous years of life
RIP matt perry ❤ Gotta love new vegas. Tidbit about vault 22. In one of the dlc, you grt to read about a mans life - a dude that was there when the bombs dropped and his life afterward until his death at lile age 70-something. He mentions folks from vault 22 in there. Real great stuff. Even if it is through notes.
Obsidian were contractor, not subdivision of Bethesda and Zenimax so they wouldn't trust them for that much money and development time, you had to keep in mind this was the first time they worked together.
@@GHOSTRIDER373737 I think people don't bring this up enough, add the fact that this was a spinoff (no matter what the NV community thinks) and its really impressive how much the game has even with its shortcomings.
@@vibrioidabyss9352 its not a numbered entry and it only follows a few groups or characters. And even then fallout 3 is still just as connected through the Enclave, who were just as big of a faction in fallout 2 as the NCR or the other factions that return.
New Vegas might be the best candidate for a remaster in all of gaming. The mechanics and writing are so good but it’s hampered by technical and aesthetic problems that could easily be solved with some care. It’s ridiculous that it hasn’t happened yet.
An ambitious group has been working on a Fallout 4 mod that's a complete import of FNV. I really hope I'll get to see that realized some day, it looks incredible.
FO4 NV mod going strong. Also obsidian devs heavily hinting they're up for it since zenimax (bethesda) and obsidian are now owned by Microsoft. Whether it happens or not we'll never know.
Remake it on a more stable engine (regardless of graphics) and it would be the perfect game. There are very few modern games with the freedom of choice and personal agency New Vegas offers. Also, all of the factions are amazing and any build can work and get you through the game. In Fallout 4 if you rarely add perk points into combat skills the enemies will be bullet sponges in later levels but in New Vegas that isn't as much of an issue. I made a Charisma/Luck gambler type of character and despite having very few combat traits I had no problem beating the game and didn't even have to fight the final boss due to high speech. Also, being able to choose what factions you want to hinder or help makes for a great time overall. I remember doing a Legion playthrough with an unarmed ballistic fist and high strength/endurance character and that one was one of my favorite run-throughs ever because I looked at things from their perspective.
people in Caesar base: *dying in inmense pain after the curier destroyed one camp with explosives and now is killing everyone with a chainsaw of someone who was killed by him earlier* The curier: Jingle Jungle *mh mhh he* Jingle Jun- *cut someone's arm* JIPPIE JAAAAAAY
Remove those 3 things about the world and replace them with “Fixed the crashing which occurs every 70 minutes or less.” Seriously, I hate the crashing....
If Obsidian was given 24 more months they would have: Fixed all bugs in every single fallout game Made PS6 level graphics World peace Space Exploring technology Fed africa Gotten rid of the problems of social class Contacted aliens Found Big Foot Gotten rid of corruption in the hierarchy Revived Albert Einstein Made a time machine Removed all Nukes from the world Civilized Mars Made a better fallout 76 Banned Tik Tok Ended Racism Ended Homophobia Made more vegan options Taught me how to make a good burger
The best line is when you talk to Mr. House after killing Kimball. Mr. House: Why did you shoot the President? Courier: I don't like paying taxes. Mr. House: Understandable.
In all of my years of New Vegas researching I've only just seen this video posted today. This is such an amazing video I don't know how I've never had it suggested to me. You're very impressive with the entirety of everything the game has to offer and I have to give you tons of credit for going into the hard to decide parts of it. Sorry I'm late to find you, but y'know how it is. War never changes.
This game is insane. A side quest that a lot of players won't even know it's there has a deeper and more intricate story than most games full campaigns these days
@@codylamp6814 I was thinking specifically of one of my favorites. One that involves some rare caps you can find with a blue star on them. If you want more info on how to trigger these events with no spoilers, I suggest you watch Oxhorn's video about "Sunset Sarsaparilla". if you watch only the first minutes you'll know where to find the npcs. Hope you enjoy New Vegas
Not to mention that there are HIDDEN quests in the game that you can easily miss if you don't pay attention! One example being a little story read through notes you can find at the Sarsaparilla Bottling Plant and a counterfeit shack in a field of Cazadors, that are about a group of counterfeiters who slowly meet their demise one by one through bad circumstances, one of them using the last bullet in their gun to end their misery. Games these days rely way too much on technological details instead of making a world feel believable!
I have been watching your old videos repeatedly and now I have another one to come back to whenever I’m bored. This might be your magnum opus of videos to me.
My favorite video of his right now is his Bioshock video. Though i think this video will probably beat the bioshock one because there's more in it while having around the same quality.
I have nearly a thousand hours in this game and I never knew that the sign outside the door to the strip was updated with the names of the people you hire to perform. Man the level of detail in this game is incredible. If it took this team 18 months to make this masterpiece just imagine what a few years could have brought us.
That is kind of a silly thing to get excited about since it's just the game slapping a few flat images onto a static sign, not particularly advanced even at the time the game was new, but they say those easily impressed will always live exciting lives in their own minds.
@@MegaZeta you're missing the point completely, intentionally or unintentionally. The devs didn't have to do that, considering it's such a small detail, but they did it anyway. No need to be rude about it and insult OP's intelligence.
@@MrFusion Hes just mad that people like fallout new vegas for some reason lol prolly a fallout 3 or 4 fan boy and can't handle that people have different opinions
One of the main points about the entire fallout franchise is that, even after the end of the world, humanity will still hash out the same arguments, fight over the same things, destroy itself again for personal gain. One of the things I love most about new Vegas is that you don’t have the power to change that, no matter what you do. You can only stand by and aid the group you think is best, and even then people wont be fully happy. Fallout new Vegas illustrates that point especially well, and is part of the reason why I love it so much.
@Insert_text_here Fallout New Vegas did some cool stuff sure, made some great improvements from Fallout 3 like the crafting and factions but outside of a few good things it did were a ton of just really mediocre features and elements that just make it "Meh" 1. The writing is just terrible. I mean, Fallout games have always been a little cringy, part of the charm and universe... but New Vegas took Fallout 3s bad writing and made it way worse. This affects everything from general dialogue to the quests which leads me to; 2. The story is contradictory and just a confusing mess. The story seemed alright off the start, but then it just loses sight on where it wants to go. You're going from a revenge story which turns out to be bait and switch then you're being errand boy for the rest of the game to groups that dont really matter or feel or sound interesting. A case of too much going on. 3. The gunplay and weapons in general were boring and lackluster and did nothing to improve Fallout 3 bad fighting. 4. The world... my God New Vegas is the worst Map in just about any open world rpg ever. Its literally just rolling hills of desert, canyons that are an eyesore or a few busted buildings here and there. The only interesting place on the map is "The Strip" which is the tiniest, most simple and complex borehole in any fallout game.. I'd rather be stuck in Little Lamplight all day... 5. Lore. Now this is where I split people. Obsidian chose to use their Black Isle established lore which is why they went into NCR territory anyway, but Fallout 1 and 2 are set way before the events of Fallout 3 and in 3 we find out that the Brotherhood is massive and powerful, they had a turnaround in the gap which the Outcasts still fully support, and this gets reinstated with Fallout 4. New Vegas chose to ignore Fallout 3 and make the brotherhood a bunch of cowards hiding in the sand. They werent even doing it for a tactical advantage or to just steer clear of the NCR... they were written to literally fear the NCR which, cool back to the roots kind of lore but again... Fallout 3 is canon and set in a decent gap.. it's just plain lazy writing or ignorance... or both. I can go on, but I feel I've made my point. Now to be clear.. Would I still buy and play new Vegas today? Yes. Because it's still a pretty good game, it's just a shit Fallout game. Just still to this day rather Fallout 3, it's more compelling and honestly if Fallout 4 had more RPG elements then it would be a 100% gutterstomp. As the years have gone on, New Vegas thrives in 2 communities; A. The people who love mods and nodding as New Vegas is one of the most modded games of all time. B. The people who hate Bethesda and play New Vegas because its technically not theirs. So in short, bad writing, bad story, bad characters, bad map and not enough improvement from fallout 3.
For me: 1. Morrowind (Moonsugar is one hell of a drug) 2. New Vegas (Hey, got any jet?) 3. Kotor (Damn meatbags...) 4. Halo 2 (I know what the ladies like) 5. Sean Bean died again game (aka Oblivion) 6. Dragon Age:Origins (I could really use a fix of lyrium again) 7. Dark Souls (Praise the sun) 8. Doom Eternal (I did indeed just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars’ 9. Kotor II (I’m sure Nihilus has some deathsticks stashed somewhere) 10. All Resident evil games (excluding 6), including some spin-offs (Leon, continue the bloodline or I will start throwing boulders at you)
the most incredible part of this game is that it’s this good BEFORE even mentioning the dlcs. fallout nv is one of those rare games that are 100% complete without relying on dlcs, but when they did add stuff like old world blues and honest hearts, they were like their own little games within new vegas. remarkable achievement for gaming, and something we never get enough of from the industry
100% facts I'm glad this game is fun to play with or without the dlc, and that the dlc adds to the campaign and the dlc doesn't feel like a cash grab. fallout new Vegas is an awesome game.
@@Jo-un6es lonesome road is the definition of "feel free to screenshot". Such a sick fucking dlc, the chunk with the deathclaws on the overpass goes so hard.
This definitely needs a part 2 cause their so much more to talk about the companions of the DLC, even the history that's set up in the game, and the positives and negatives of which faction is the right fit to take over the Mojave
This game had one of the most memorable and menacing lines in any game in it: “I will nail your body to the walls of Hoover Dam facing West, so you can watch your world burn.” -Legate Lanius
It didn't have a memorable anything.....People jerk their dicks over it NOW.........People seem to forget that it was widely hated by the majority of people at release and for years that followed, it wasn't beloved nor did it sell well when it came out......The EXACT same thing that happened with WindWaker another game people pretend is so amazing and beloved but was FACTUALLY hated when it came out. People hated the art style, they hated most of the game. It was the reason why Twilight Princess got made
I've probably put about 1000 hrs combined gameplay I spent a whole summer doing almost nothing but playing new vages lol and it wasn't even with mods just base game haven't ever played it with mods cause I only played it on console
@Green The Courier w/ 10 Intelligence: Did you know that if you position your head in a certain way you can increase your chances of surviving a headshot? Benny: What in the goddamn. . .I shot you twice. The Courier w/ 10 Intelligence: Yeah and a super mutant I encountered shot me over 28 times with a minigun and I survived. Think you got what it takes? Benny: Quite a story, kid, but your luck's about to run out. 'Tries to pull out Maria and feels nothing' Huh? The Courier w/ 10 Intelligence: Lucky or not, I'm not out of tricks 'Pulls out Maria and points it at Benny'. . .or bullets. Benny: Oh sh- The Courier w/ 10 Intelligence: 'Shoots Benny in the head twice and blows his head to smithereens' Hear Death's bells. Ring-a-Ding-Ding!
fallout new vegas by far has the most badass plot. a courier delivering a metal poker chip to a 2 century old cyborg computer man in a vegas casino, and getting intercepted by a couple of tribals and a man who is trying to overthrow said cyborg man, and getting shot in the head, surviving, and hunting him down for revenge.
@zabtronics especially when you start delving into the dlc my favorite being dead money, but man Ulysses, Father Elijah, God/Dog all great characters and even greater stories involved.
My greatest memory from NV was when I was about 13 years old and a level 7 or so, I stumbled upon the Lonesome Road "quest", not realizing it was an entire DLC, and spent a month trying to finish it. I wouldn't have made it out alive without ED-E.
My favorite memory was when I was like level 8 and was exploring big empty and found the legendary bloatfly and got killed a unholy amount of times only to realize it dropped nothing of value
There actually is a peaceful option between the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel. It requires you to complete the Brotherhood questlines fully and keep McNamara as Elder. Once the NCR tells you to go wipe them out, tell McNamara about it and he'll tell you to tell the NCR that they want to assist in the Battle of Hoover Dam.
yes, and on controller on rb. I had a friend of mine telling me he would not use grranades, just too much of a hassle. I asked, why? Just use the cross and move backwards and forth. You can also change ammo from your weapons.
@@NobodyInParticular... PC is super convenient if you have a nice mouse. I've got twelve buttons on my right thumb and I abuse the luxury in any game that allows it.
@@stego7782 i downloaded it 6 days ago and its NEVER crashed. I have over 19hrs played so far. Not a single crash. I think its because im playing on a Windows7. Its the only thing different that most other PC vegas players use. Its not the graphics card either because the graphics card is inferior to the windows10 users. No mods(yet)
lmao same. When I played it back in 2012 for the first time, it didn't crash on me once. I only realized a year later that mods exist and it was apparently a very buggy game.
Honestly the wild-card Ulysses dialogue is the best one imo. The arguments are stronger thematically. "It is..... enough" is such an opportune line and delivered so well.
This game is a masterpiece, the feeling of exploring the Mojave desert while listening to Frank Sinatra, the characters, the world, the atmosphere, New Vegas is my favorite fallout by far.
The cool thing is, now that microsoft owns both obsidian and bethesda, a remaster isn't unrealistic anymore. Before it was just a pipe dream but it could be actually possible now and that's exciting.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas both need a remaster. if they happen to use mods to achiveve that, I would contact and pay the creators a fair sum for their use if they demand it. Theres also the possibility of a New Vegas 2. not a return to the mojave, but a fallout in another setting with all the things that made NV great along with modern tech to help it out.
I don’t necessarily need a remaster (There’s a certain level nostalgia and charm in the old graphics and gameplay). What would be really cool would be a new Obsidian-produced Fallout game, one that could take place in the West again and maybe follow the NCR-Legion War as it evolved since Fallout: New Vegas
@@crazypancakes7781 I’m pretty sure a remaster means ironing out all the technical issues so something like dark souls remastered where very little to the actual game was changed
This is the first video that caught my attention. This is when I said “this guy deserves my subscription” and I’ve been following along ever since. Through the fun parts of dead space to the lowest pains of Quantum TV. I like coming back here to remember where it all began for me.
I think it's important to note, that it's not just having choices that make a game good. It's if those choices mean anything. Something a lot of choose your own path games fail is to just decisions that might lead to an extra cutscene or some dialogue. Such as Bioware's most recent games. NV is amazing and fun just because it feels like your choice will alter the fate of the Mojave.
But your choice doesnt matter. You get to the same content and the same outcomes just who is at the dam changes. Stop polluting this game with good praise when it's just as good as Fallout: Tactics.
@@ProsecutorValentine I have played it, many times. I pre-ordered it and was genuinely excited for it but it ended up doing more wrong than it did right and meanwhile the fans of it praise the 2 maybe 3 things it does well and completely ignore the lackluster story, the convoluted quests, extreme bad acting, the blunt and flat uninteresting characters and the outright bland map.
"i'd love to have the option to quick select healing and drugs".....its called hot key and you can choose which items you want to hot key from your pip-boy, from stimpaks to revolvers
29:00 Quick-select exists on PC, so i guess it exists in some way on other platforms. Just go to inventory in Pip Boy with item you want to set and hold a button from 1-9 on keyboard and select it. -You need stims? Set 7 and click it whenever you are low on hp (but autostims exists) -You want to switch from 10mm pistol to SMG? Set 2 and press it in need of damage -Low on AP? Press 6 and enjoy that sweet sound of jet inhaling And if you double press button set to weapon, it will unequip the weapon, leaving you with bare fists.
For anyone who's interested Benny's suit isn't technically "checkerboard" patterned; it is actually black and white Buffalo Plaid. Which is why I think: The Act Man searched for 'black and white checkered suit jacket' instead of 'black and white buffalo plaid suit jacket' which is why the suit he wears in the video is off slightly. Just a small thing I noticed, great video, good work.

I feel like that’s a good quote for fallout new Vegas stuff.
I played Skyrim and fall out 4, years ago as a young kid/man. Over the last few months I felt very bored. Work, gym, wife, kids, repeat. I missed gaming, I almost forgot I used to play and enjoy video games since life kind of took me as a prisoner. I bought the series x last week and searched the Microsoft store. My wife made fun of me saying “I didn’t know you liked video games omg”. I told her I wanted something to just relax to…I was gonna just download fallout 4 again and replay it but I saw New Vegas for $7. I was skeptical at first since it seemed so old but man.. this game has captured me. It gave me that feeling Skyrim did all those years ago. I think about it at work, I wanna play when I’m out shopping, I look forward to Friday so I can stay up until 3 am playing. New Vegas made me love gaming again and it’s made me remember apart of my that I forgot.
PLEASE play oblivion if you havent. its better than skyrim in every way except graphics and i will die on that hill.
@@remrem-gx3mlI'll die right there with you lol. Only thing Skyrim really did better was the combat feels slightly better. Still nowhere near what you can achieve with a few mods though so I don't give Bethesda much credit for that considering literally everything else was a downgrade. Even the voice acting somehow got worse even though it was mostly the same people in each of the games lol.

A detail I really liked about the game is how the only "unkillable" character in the game (aside from children), Yes Man, can actually be killed, but always returns and says how he has like a gazillion body replacements around. Obsidian found a way to make a character's immortality not only canon, but plausible.

I remember, I walked into Caesar's camp on my first playthrough and started blasting, and kept thinking, "there's no way I can just kill this guy, he's the main villain of the game" and then Boone blew his head off right in front of me. That's when I realized this game was truly something special.
I was always a big fan of Boone unintentionally jump-scaring me by blowing the brains out of enemies that I didn't even know were there xD I'd just be walking somewhere and suddenly the screen jump-zooms to some slow-mo footage of a legionarie's head exploding from 12,000 feet in the opposite direction.

The fact there even is an ending to this game is a weird feeling.

From the bizarre Sierra madre to the lonely journey
On Hardcore difficulty if you recruit any allies and they die during the journey you get unique dialogue about their death in the end credits and the mark they left. Now that's dedication to the writing.
You get that too if you just kill them before recruiting them or pissing them off to the point they leave you
Not like anyone would actually pick default difficulty
@@Brandelwyn Why wouldn't I?
@@Tee_B I dont know... I never met anyone who did.
Sadly that’s the one thing that prevents me from playing hardcore mode. Ammo weight, managing food, water, sleep, that’s all whatever, the part that ruins it for me is companions being able to die.
I will never forget wiping out all of the powder gangers in the prison, and walking into nipton to find that guy with his legs crippled in the shop, and he goes “I just had my legs crippled, and now the grim fucking reaper of the powder gangers is standing in front of me” or something like that. I thought it was so cool that they had different dialogue for your standing with the factions
Boxcars, the 2nd winner of the Nipton "lottery" calls you a Grim Reaper if you are vilified with the Powder Gangers. That's a pretty badass moniker.
That that made it one of the best RPGs for that reason right there
So true. And if/when you're playing a female character Boxcars will also add, "What do you have against us b***h!?"
That line still kills me everytime I hear it.
"First I get my legs smashed, then in walks the Power Gangers grim fuckin' reaper!"
That was exactly the line......you never forgot.
28:46 Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else in the comments, but NV does have a quick-select "wheel". It's just the part with binding weapons and items that's a bit... hidden. Hover over the item you'd like to quick-select, hold the number you want it bound to and click the item in the inventory. It really helps keep the flow of the action during fights
I remembered Skyrim has this, so I figured it was worth a try in NV. I was so glad to find out it's in the game, saves a lot of awkward mid-fight pausing and searching in your inventory

Can people not just say “OH DIDNT EXPECT YOU HERE” like content creators can watch what they like, stop being annoying.
When I was playing the NV for the first time, I've stumbled upon a quest about rescuing NCR soldiers from a mine.
I went in, killed some legion boys, opened the cages and... the quest ended. This freaked me out, because it seemed too simple. So I reloaded and sneaked in to explore the mine before saving the soldiers. Found nothing. Then I put on some legion armor and tried speaking to the legion troops in the mine. Still nothing! This quest was driving me crazy, so I resorted to googling all the possible outcomes. And, surprise-surprise, I instantly found out that the alternative solutions were cut from the final release.
And then it hit me. The rest of the game was so AWESOME, that a simple quest "Do exactly the thing you were asked to do and get rewarded" didn't fit in.
To this day I've never experienced anything like that. New Vegas is still the best RPG ever made.
legion was supposed to have much more content, but time constraints prevented it from being fully fleshed out. The devs never intended for the legion to have the least amount of content for a faction.

I mean, the game doesn't "explicitely" tell you, but the option 'is' there. On my PS3 controller, it tells me to use RB (basically R1) for quick select. Then you just press on the D-pad which item you wanna use.
The game includes a how-to-play file. I guess I'm the only one to ever read it.

@@D00000T Well, I suppose it depends on how you look at it.
I remember Old World Blues being pretty great for how it amps the "Science" aspect of the game up to a hundred, with some pretty good weaponry and, a personal favorite, plenty of nods to the Venture Brothers cartoon.
Dead Money was another great spin on the "Heist" story type. With interesting characters, setting and how it was very survival focused.
The base game certainly remains an outstanding piece of architecture on how to make an RPG, but the expansions certainly added quite a bit.
@@Micecheese I cannot recommend the DLCs for New Vegas more, they are amazing for the simple fact that they are so cohesively connected. Themes, characters, and storylines are super interconnected in each DLC whilst still being strong enough on their own to allow the player to play each in whatever order they desire and still get something unique out of each. Dead Moneys horror atmosphere, Honest Hearts exploration, Old World Blues technological zaniness, and The Divides brutal journey, each DLC is amazing. Trust me when I say these DLCs are more then worth doing. Quite honestly I personally consider them, as a package, the best DLC ever created.

@phil spencer listen to this man
Remake it on a more stable engine (regardless of graphics) and it would be the perfect game. There are very few modern games with the freedom of choice and personal agency New Vegas offers. Also, all of the factions are amazing and any build can work and get you through the game. In Fallout 4 if you rarely add perk points into combat skills the enemies will be bullet sponges in later levels but in New Vegas that isn't as much of an issue. I made a Charisma/Luck gambler type of character and despite having very few combat traits I had no problem beating the game and didn't even have to fight the final boss due to high speech.
Also, being able to choose what factions you want to hinder or help makes for a great time overall. I remember doing a Legion playthrough with an unarmed ballistic fist and high strength/endurance character and that one was one of my favorite run-throughs ever because I looked at things from their perspective.

One of the main points about the entire fallout franchise is that, even after the end of the world, humanity will still hash out the same arguments, fight over the same things, destroy itself again for personal gain. One of the things I love most about new Vegas is that you don’t have the power to change that, no matter what you do. You can only stand by and aid the group you think is best, and even then people wont be fully happy. Fallout new Vegas illustrates that point especially well, and is part of the reason why I love it so much.

New Vegas is worse than Fallout Tactics.
@Insert_text_here
Fallout New Vegas did some cool stuff sure, made some great improvements from Fallout 3 like the crafting and factions but outside of a few good things it did were a ton of just really mediocre features and elements that just make it "Meh"
1. The writing is just terrible. I mean, Fallout games have always been a little cringy, part of the charm and universe... but New Vegas took Fallout 3s bad writing and made it way worse. This affects everything from general dialogue to the quests which leads me to;
2. The story is contradictory and just a confusing mess. The story seemed alright off the start, but then it just loses sight on where it wants to go. You're going from a revenge story which turns out to be bait and switch then you're being errand boy for the rest of the game to groups that dont really matter or feel or sound interesting. A case of too much going on.
3. The gunplay and weapons in general were boring and lackluster and did nothing to improve Fallout 3 bad fighting.
4. The world... my God New Vegas is the worst Map in just about any open world rpg ever. Its literally just rolling hills of desert, canyons that are an eyesore or a few busted buildings here and there. The only interesting place on the map is "The Strip" which is the tiniest, most simple and complex borehole in any fallout game.. I'd rather be stuck in Little Lamplight all day...
5. Lore. Now this is where I split people.
Obsidian chose to use their Black Isle established lore which is why they went into NCR territory anyway, but Fallout 1 and 2 are set way before the events of Fallout 3 and in 3 we find out that the Brotherhood is massive and powerful, they had a turnaround in the gap which the Outcasts still fully support, and this gets reinstated with Fallout 4.
New Vegas chose to ignore Fallout 3 and make the brotherhood a bunch of cowards hiding in the sand. They werent even doing it for a tactical advantage or to just steer clear of the NCR... they were written to literally fear the NCR which, cool back to the roots kind of lore but again... Fallout 3 is canon and set in a decent gap.. it's just plain lazy writing or ignorance... or both.
I can go on, but I feel I've made my point.
Now to be clear..
Would I still buy and play new Vegas today? Yes. Because it's still a pretty good game, it's just a shit Fallout game.
Just still to this day rather Fallout 3, it's more compelling and honestly if Fallout 4 had more RPG elements then it would be a 100% gutterstomp.
As the years have gone on, New Vegas thrives in 2 communities;
A. The people who love mods and nodding as New Vegas is one of the most modded games of all time.
B. The people who hate Bethesda and play New Vegas because its technically not theirs.
So in short, bad writing, bad story, bad characters, bad map and not enough improvement from fallout 3.

Having an arrow in your knee is almost as tiresome as waiting for actmans why skyrim is so awesome.
Divinity Original Sin II and Morrowind are the only RPGs that could stand along side New Vegas as the best RPGs ever made.
For me:
1. Morrowind (Moonsugar is one hell of a drug)
2. New Vegas (Hey, got any jet?)
3. Kotor (Damn meatbags...)
4. Halo 2 (I know what the ladies like)
5. Sean Bean died again game (aka Oblivion)
6. Dragon Age:Origins (I could really use a fix of lyrium again)
7. Dark Souls (Praise the sun)
8. Doom Eternal (I did indeed just shoot a hole into the surface of Mars’
9. Kotor II (I’m sure Nihilus has some deathsticks stashed somewhere)
10. All Resident evil games (excluding 6), including some spin-offs (Leon, continue the bloodline or I will start throwing boulders at you)

the most incredible part of this game is that it’s this good BEFORE even mentioning the dlcs. fallout nv is one of those rare games that are 100% complete without relying on dlcs, but when they did add stuff like old world blues and honest hearts, they were like their own little games within new vegas. remarkable achievement for gaming, and something we never get enough of from the industry
A game where DLC feels like an extra, instead of content made for the original game which they cut out to sell you later
DLC has always supposed to be extra content and not skins or things that should be on the base game.
Lonesome Road has done more for Fallout than 76.
100% facts I'm glad this game is fun to play with or without the dlc, and that the dlc adds to the campaign and the dlc doesn't feel like a cash grab. fallout new Vegas is an awesome game.
@@Jo-un6es lonesome road is the definition of "feel free to screenshot". Such a sick fucking dlc, the chunk with the deathclaws on the overpass goes so hard.
This definitely needs a part 2 cause their so much more to talk about the companions of the DLC, even the history that's set up in the game, and the positives and negatives of which faction is the right fit to take over the Mojave

This game had one of the most memorable and menacing lines in any game in it: “I will nail your body to the walls of Hoover Dam facing West, so you can watch your world burn.” -Legate Lanius
Don't forget the even scarier line, "Please assume the position"
That's a cheesy, silly and overall pretty poorly written line, but definitely one of the better ones in this game.

It didn't have a memorable anything.....People jerk their dicks over it NOW.........People seem to forget that it was widely hated by the majority of people at release and for years that followed, it wasn't beloved nor did it sell well when it came out......The EXACT same thing that happened with WindWaker another game people pretend is so amazing and beloved but was FACTUALLY hated when it came out. People hated the art style, they hated most of the game. It was the reason why Twilight Princess got made

There actually is a peaceful option between the NCR and the Brotherhood of Steel. It requires you to complete the Brotherhood questlines fully and keep McNamara as Elder. Once the NCR tells you to go wipe them out, tell McNamara about it and he'll tell you to tell the NCR that they want to assist in the Battle of Hoover Dam.
Fallout New Vegas actually does have a quick select. It's just a bit scuffed. You can assign items like armor, weapons, and chems to number keys.

The cool thing is, now that microsoft owns both obsidian and bethesda, a remaster isn't unrealistic anymore. Before it was just a pipe dream but it could be actually possible now and that's exciting.
Fallout 3 and New Vegas both need a remaster. if they happen to use mods to achiveve that, I would contact and pay the creators a fair sum for their use if they demand it. Theres also the possibility of a New Vegas 2. not a return to the mojave, but a fallout in another setting with all the things that made NV great along with modern tech to help it out.
New Vegas needs a true-to-form remake.
I wish so but corporations tend to do the exact opposite and make games as bland as possible
I don’t necessarily need a remaster (There’s a certain level nostalgia and charm in the old graphics and gameplay). What would be really cool would be a new Obsidian-produced Fallout game, one that could take place in the West again and maybe follow the NCR-Legion War as it evolved since Fallout: New Vegas
@@crazypancakes7781 I’m pretty sure a remaster means ironing out all the technical issues so something like dark souls remastered where very little to the actual game was changed
This is the first video that caught my attention. This is when I said “this guy deserves my subscription” and I’ve been following along ever since. Through the fun parts of dead space to the lowest pains of Quantum TV. I like coming back here to remember where it all began for me.
I think it's important to note, that it's not just having choices that make a game good. It's if those choices mean anything. Something a lot of choose your own path games fail is to just decisions that might lead to an extra cutscene or some dialogue. Such as Bioware's most recent games. NV is amazing and fun just because it feels like your choice will alter the fate of the Mojave.
But your choice doesnt matter. You get to the same content and the same outcomes just who is at the dam changes. Stop polluting this game with good praise when it's just as good as Fallout: Tactics.
Shit, they even alter it while you're still playing.

@@ProsecutorValentine I have played it, many times.

29:00 Quick-select exists on PC, so i guess it exists in some way on other platforms.
Just go to inventory in Pip Boy with item you want to set and hold a button from 1-9 on keyboard and select it.
-You need stims? Set 7 and click it whenever you are low on hp (but autostims exists)
-You want to switch from 10mm pistol to SMG? Set 2 and press it in need of damage
-Low on AP? Press 6 and enjoy that sweet sound of jet inhaling
And if you double press button set to weapon, it will unequip the weapon, leaving you with bare fists.
For anyone who's interested Benny's suit isn't technically "checkerboard" patterned; it is actually black and white Buffalo Plaid. Which is why I think: The Act Man searched for 'black and white checkered suit jacket' instead of 'black and white buffalo plaid suit jacket' which is why the suit he wears in the video is off slightly.
