Hopefully, this November, when we finally get to explore Vault 76 and the world of a post-apocalyptic West Virginia, we'll see that bar pushed again because let's face it, Fallout 4 might've been good but it was seriously lacking in ambition. Obsidian Entertainment, the studio behind the game, set a new bar for Fallout games and Bethesda-styled RPGs in general.
But the Black Friday price was just too good for me not to give it a chance, and boy oh boy was I so glad that I did.Īlthough Fallout 3 was my introduction into the highly praised series, New Vegas just felt like a game that pushed the franchise to the next level the dialogue was smarter, the quests felt more dynamic, and the tunes jingled and jangled. When I first saw Fallout: New Vegas on the shelves of my local GameStop back in 2010, I made the assumption that it was an insignificant detour from the main lineage of games.
