There's not much here at the moment but what is there is awesome, definitely one to buy if you're a tank nerd like me.

So i have decided to write this because I, like many of you reading this was unsure about this game after witnessing a near constant stream of negativity towards it online. I've been a Fallout fan since around 2008-2009 and I think i can safely say that i've put more hours into New Vegas than any other game. In this review i'm going to try and stick to the things which stood out whilst i was playing, both positive and negative.

I've been having a lot of fun with this game over the past couple weeks and have had some memorable encounters with other players who helped me out when i was a low level with supplies and weapons. The gameplay is solid and virtually unchanged from Fallout 4 besides the new perk system which i find more interesting than the one we had previously. I've run into a few bugs and the server has crashed a couple times but both have been rare enough for them not to impact my experience too much.

The Map:
It's huge. Seriously. I don't normally use fast travel in fallout games but it's almost essential here as a lot of the quests will have you visiting multiple locations with long distances between them which can quickly become tedious. However, bear in mind that you will have to pay for fast travel to locations besides a few designated points and this can cost a fair amount depending on the distance travelled. Thankfully the map is quite varied and many of the locations are unique and interesting, and in my opinion it's a far more interesting setting that Boston which i felt was essentially just a retread of Washington D.C.

Community:
Players seem very friendly for the most part and as a i mentioned earlier i've seen people go out of their way to help low level players. However, i don't know why after this length of time Bethesda hasn't implemented a text chat especially when it seems as though so few players are using their mic's. Not being able to communicate with other players effectively can really damage games such as this and when the fix is so straightforward it confuses me as to why they haven't addressed the issue.

Summary:
I don't want this review to be too long so i'll finish by saying that after a good year and a half of this game being one big joke to us all, it might finally be time for us all to stop laughing at it and give it a go.
But please Todd, give us a f*cking text chat.

Thought it was boring at first, now I cant stop playing it.

Sounded cool on paper, building arenas and having monsters fight it out for your amusement. Problem is as soon as they leave their cage your settlers start freaking out and fire at the creatures you just unleashed effectively uining the fight and killing the creatures you expended all your resources building an arena for.

An absolute joke. £4 for some conveyor belts and various useless crap like extra speaker types and junk cannons. You cant help but feel they added this crap just to make the season pass seem like value for money, don't buy it.

Devs are ♥♥♥♥♥, don't buy it.

Quite possibly the best rpg of the last 10 years. Seriously just buy it.

Like going into any club in the north of england
