I'd say 9. It's loads better than the mediocre Fallout 3, and it certainly has that Fallout thing the old games in the series had and F3 missed by miles. It has a very strong , well written primary story, memorable characters, good dialogues and also quite a lot of great secondary quests. The DLCs are also very good and well done. Definitely try it !

Oh em gee.
Well that changes everything, now watch his opinion change completely because of that "label".
Fallout 3 beat New Vegas in many ways. In particular the DC Ruins compared to the rather pathetic New Vegas strip. One felt like a post apocalyptic city, the other felt like random buildings along a road with a wall around it. New Vegas in general should have been much bigger. I was thinking sky scrapers and many larger buildings rather than the limited few that we got to explore. Obsidian still did a good job with the rest of the game though.

Fallout 3 had a story? Oh no,!!!! my dad is missing, walks around the world doing random quests for 90 hours. Oh look found my dad. The end. In NV you truly felt like picking a side changed the outcome.
I truly believe the reason people say FO3 is better, is because it was the first. It's something we haven't seen before. I will give you FO3 had the better world, but that's really about it. NV's game play felt much better. A larger selection of guns, weapon mods, and Ammo types added too much to look over.

Totally agree with this. Obsidian has a really good writing staff and focuses (to the point of getting in trouble) on storyline. Bethesda just can't compete.
That, and FN:NV was somewhat based on older Fallout 3 plans so it actually fits in the Fallout universe. Bethesda's attempt at Fallout 3 just didn't make any sense.
I was still happy to play FO:3 at the time it came out because I was hungry for a Fallout game. In retrospect, however, New Vegas would have been a better Fallout 3 in every way.

You should play Fallout 3 before if you haven't played it
Its not connected so much to Fallout 3 story as I remember but still , Fallout 3 is just amazing
I liked Fallout NV too but not as Fallout 3 :)
I can't count the times I finished that game ( Thats how much I like it :D )

Nah, he should start with the first Fallout. Or better yet with Wastelands.

yep I quit when I lost 40 hours of gameplay :s, I don't want to use someone elses save either, I may start the game again if some seriously cool mods come out for it, if not I will probably never play it again haha.

on its own right its a great game, if you compare certain aspects from fallout 3 it is better at some(better fights) and worse at others(the atmosfere in fo3 was great), but if you ask me if its good?
short answer? yes.
long answer? yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
its great atmosfere, attitude, secrets, choice making, etc. makes you want to play it over and over. ive completed the game 9 times and counting with different stiles of characters and im not stopping yet, its my go to game when bored.
i would give it 10 but i dont think the game is perfect, far from it, it has huge flaws in terms of bugs and glitches, for the sake of argument its a 9-8.5 for me. for my love of the game, its a 10.
also, with mods, it becomes a whole new monster, much like skyrim, it just makes the game so much better and adds so much for the player to do.

Fix'd it for you. Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw FTW.
I'm still playing New Vegas, nearly two years after first play.

I learned the hard way that messing with mods could be harmful to overall game experience.
Comment has been collapsed.
These two mods only change the look and feel, but change nothing in the way of gameplay or balance. No new items, no cheats, no changed items, no changed formulas, no fixed bugs. I usually use Project Reality and Project Nevada.
You think New Vegas looked great before at max settings? Try this. Simply beautiful.

Installing mods incorrectly can cause all sorts of headaches, but if you do it right it makes the game quite a bit better. For the first time (or two) through the game, stick to bugfixes and visual improvements. Something like Nevada Skies as mentioned and DarnUI to get rid of the clunky stupidly-large designed-for-consoles user interface.

It has nothing to do with installing. I am more than capable to install indefinite amount of mods and resolve conflicts should they arise. The mere presence of so many mods can be distracting, and it could be hard to resist installing them.

If you like free-roaming, action RPG with loads of content, you can do no wrong.

Hahaha, I wouldn't really say the same; some people just don't like isometric games.
