I’ve been playing through Fallout New Vegas for the first time. Got it modded to look modern too so that’s been a really nice touch.
Fallout 3 was my very first Fallout and played it way back when it came out, then proceeded to skip new Vegas and played thru 4 back when that one released.
All this time I was time I was like damn, 3 is my favorite only because of nostalgia and actually ran a quick play thru back in April when all the Fallout hype started because of the TV show.
But I also bought New Vegas finally during this hype and am almost done with my first playthrough and wow I get why it’s considered the best Fallout game.
The RPG elements are perfection, the stories are so interesting and gameplay is challenging but fair. I’m so glad I can now understand all the hype behind this game.

4 was my first fallout. Got it passed down from a family member for the PS4, and played through the entire thing. Had maybe over 200 hours in it. Then I got a hand me down PS3 from the same family member with a copy of Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. I’m disappointed though to say it took a few more years for it to stick to me as younger me was very stingy about the games he would play.
I think New Vegas being made by the remains of Black Isle allowed it to pick up some cool ideas and also grow the old ideas involving the west coast lore, while carrying what Bethesda constructed from scratch with 3, at least that’s my personal opinion.
