Got the game today and I wasn't expecting this from such an old game. The case is in amazing condition no sticker residue, nothing peeling off and the cover art is near mint. The game even came with the code it must have been sold with and the manual still feels crisp. The disc is in amazing condition not even a spec of dust on this. I would definitely recommend buying any games they're selling because the only way it could have been in better condition is if it was still wrapped in cellophane

Fallout New Vegas is considered a Cult Classic. It is considered the greatest Fallout game. It cannot run for more than 30 minutes without crashing on the PS3. Now reading further into this, it seems this is a problem exclusive to the PS3 version, but it is still unacceptable that this game can not work.

I got the game yesterday, and what can I say its awesome. Played Fallout 3 on the PC, and this game is the same with a new story line. But its a great story line and a very fun adventure. I love how this game seems so free formed and let's you wander, explore, take random quests, build reputations, etc. However I am highly disappointed that this game freezes all the time. 99% of the time is a minor freeze that is annoying while exploring, and it does not interfere with the game play action. It seems like the game is waiting for the PS3 to render the graphics, since it always happens when turning around too quickly or running a long distance to a new area. (only reason the game did not receive a rating of 5 from). I'd recommend the PC version since I don't remember having problems on my computer that has a very poor video card (caution: I did have the settings lower on Fallout 3 PC version comparing to the quality of New Vegas on the PS3), but you won't go wrong with the PS3 edition. I am reviewing with the version 1.01 patch applied, and I'm not sure what that fixed. Let's hope that they work on addressing the freezing problem in the future, and can't wait for expansion content which will likely come.Read full review
This is one of my favorite series of the gaming community but i still enjoyed fallout 3 more than new vegas, New Vegas has more open areas to roam and is very enjoyable, however it is missing some points of the fallout series, to try to survive the horrible post apocalyptic era, this game deals with more politics and less mutant bashing and more human fighting in the game. For instance in the game you get to dress up as whatever group (There are many different groups some evil and some "Good" you get to side on which ever one you want) and if you dress as one group that some people dont like you get shot up, so if you enjoy changing identity and having to deal with other humans along with a side dish of mutants then i highly recommend this game. Pros: The Mojave wasteland (Wasteland of new Vegas) Is much greater in size and have MANY more quests to do than in fallout 3, Also has enhanced graphics(Thats a given) and it also holds many different and unique guns compared to fo3. Plus it has Companions (Allys that help you fight enemy and follow you), and it has iron sights which help gives this game a FPS (First Person Shooter) feeling to it (I however hardly use it). Cons: The Big one is the bugs (or glitches) these bugs have come to annoy me due to sudden freezes before I was able to save and having to shut off my ps3 and restart the game. another con is the Characters...They are just not remember able, unlike three dog "Mr.New Vegas" Is extremely boring and very hard he also almost never gives your character praise like Three dog did...If you never played fallout 3 you might not get the reference or care but most fo3 fans dont like listening to "mr.new vegas" BUT the music itself is good still some awesome western songs included in there :) My final rating 4/5 This game still holds much of the fallout experience that i loves so much but is missing so much, the character you play as barely has a background story and so many bugs it just makes you want to quit but still a fun game and i still enjoyed it.Read full review
Fallout: New Vegas is a plausible scenario of what a post-apocalyptic Las Vegas would've been like with the added storyline of the Courier, you, leaving an impact on the Vegas Strip and it's seemingly endless amount of surrounding locales. The game lacks in cinematic, which it really suffers for, but compensates for this in sheer exploratory value and the direct impact on the world around you based on your courses of actions. While the game engine makes it difficult to have the game 'bug free,' I've tested both Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, finding that the casual experience was near same, though I've seen the PS3 version has less 'game breaking' bugs and in my literal weeks of playtime, had less occurrences of coming across one.
This game is spectacular in almost every way. I bought this after playing fallout 3 and I love it. However, the biggest downside and the reason why I rated it a 3/5 is that it is very glitchy. During the first 20 minutes of the game, it froze 3 times and I had to hard reset my playstation. I checked online reviews and forums regarding it and my problem is anything but rare. Apparently the game designers still have many bugs to work out and since they released Skyrim, looks like this game will stay as it is. However, if you do manage to look past the bugs, it is a very enjoyable game, and has its moments. It's quality comedy at its finest and a pleasure to play, as well as a better shooting experience than Fallout 3. I would rate it 5/5 if it weren't for the damn bugs.
If you're thinking that this game is like Fallout 3, It's NOT! New Vegas is more like you've turned Cowboy in the wasteland. There are different gangs of people and you need to be careful which one you befriend. The weapon system is harder to take care of as far as maintenance and they are also more expensive! EVERYTHING is more expensive and does less damage. Using items/aid is not the same, they don't heal you as fast and they have time limits as to how long they work. I was disappointed that it was nothing like Fallout 3 but, I am playing it anyway since you do get to wander the wasteland. As for the game itself, the graphics are terrific just as Fallout 3. It is hard to get a house in New Vegas but you will in time. It's a good game, it is just not at all like Fallout 3 so don't expect it.Read full review
I've only been playing Fallout: New Vegas for about a week and a half. Before I purchased it on Ebay for $35 (greatest hits price, anyone?), I was actually hesitant to purchase the game, reading other reviews that stated that game unfortunately felt like just a giant DLC. I wasn't sure if it was just a humongous expansion pack. Once I had time to play a game like Fallout, quite honestly when I had a couple weeks off of work giving this game the time that it deserves, I don't believe that Fallout comes across as just another DLC, but that it instead feels like a whole other disc-based experience, complete with a extensive litany of side quests that will honestly keep any Fallout fan, let alone a new venturer to the series, occupied for countless hours, weeks, and months with compelling gaming. Fallout: New Vegas, while perhaps lacking the novelty of the general wasteland experience that its predecessor provided, still manages to create a living, interesting world in which the struggle to maintain the slightest dignity of humanity takes the player to the brink of their own attitudes and opinions. The player is drawn in by the blatant profusion of social mayhem that embodies most of the characters that surround him/her, and this is an appealing aspect of the game because we realize, even hypothetically, that the world of Fallout is the world in which we live today, albeit the tongue-and-cheek humor that diffuses the certainty of earthly destruction by the hands of humans, and their meek efforts in fixing, or hiding the damages. To stray from the philosophical, which Fallout indeed provides insight into in a far more entertaining way than most films, and all television, I do want to tackle a few gameplay aspects that I feel have been improved upon since the last installment because it is undoubtedly important. For starters, I enjoy the weapon modification that they added to this game. It works in the sense that basic guns can transform into unique guns (scopes, extended clips, silencers, etc.) that not only give the gamer an edge in battle, but also make him/her feel like they have a specialized inventory, which is hugely effective for the appeal of the role-playing experience. When I pull out my Laser Rifle + with all the stuffing, I feel much more bad-ass than if it was just naked. Secondly, the companion system has been *greatly* improved. I greatly appreciate the ease and convenience of the action wheel. Also, I have been travelling with two companions for a while now, and man do they do damage. Luckily, you get the experience for all the compiled kills between you and your companions, but you do not get the challenge points. Sometimes, you're lucky to steal a kill from your partners, as they are very accurate, and quite powerful. However, you are better of travelling with a companion or two for two reasons: one, they will kill people and creatures for you that normally you would not be able to, and two, they can carry a lot of cargo for you when you are out on your travels. The only drawback is that you may have to leave them behind (wait here) in some safe spots once in a while so that you can have a less frustrating time taking care of certain quests in which the last thing you need is an itchy trigger finger. Lastly, the game has only froze on me less than ten times in all the hours I've been playing. Compared to the last Fallout, this is a huge difference, and a huge relief. I know that this may be different for others.Read full review
I missed the Fallout series after playing 4 and 76. New Vegas plays well and load times are much faster than with the more recent Fallout games. I love the new terrains and story.

Two of the best games ever made. Hours of fun. They have a great story and fun game play. Fallout is one of the best franchises on today's consoles. The story and lore are better than most TV/movies are today. The games are worth a play.
