Fallout: New Vegas Complete Collection (PC/ENG/2012)
English | Platform: PC | Release: 2012 | Publisher: Bethesda Softworks | Developer: Obsidian Entertainment | 9.958 GB
Genre: RPG
Even though it directly succeeds it in order of Fallout game releases and also shares its engine, Fallout: New Vegas is not a direct sequel to Fallout 3. Though the game offers a similar role-playing experience to Fallout 3 and a few events from the game are mentioned, no characters from Fallout 3 make an appearance. However, the game marks the return of many elements found in previous Fallout titles, including Marcus, a super-mutant from Fallout 2, again voiced by Michael Dorn as well as the Enclave making another small appearance. It also incorporates plot lines and ideas that would have appeared in the first scheduled Fallout 3, codenamed Van Buren, such as the Hoover Dam and the New California Republic's fight against Caesar's Legion for control of the Mojave Desert.
FEATURES
Fallout: New Vegas
The game is set in a post-apocalyptic retro-futuristic Las Vegas, following the Great War between the U.S., China as a conventional and nuclear war that occurred on October 22 - October 23, 2077, and lasted less than two hours, despite causing immense damage and destruction. Before the Great War was the Resource Wars, during which the United Nations disbanded, a plague rendered the United States paranoid, and Canada was annexed. The city of Las Vegas itself wasn't hit as hard as most of the other districts, with most buildings being left intact as a result. The Hoover Dam supplies free electricity and water to those who control it.
__________
Dead Money
Dead Money is set in the Sierra Madre, an opulent and extravagant resort that was to be the greatest casino in the west, except that it never opened. Bombs fell before the gala opening, and the Sierra Madre froze in time, its state of the art security system locking the place up tight. Nothing could get in, and none of the guests could escape. The security holograms then activated and the once glorious event turned into a slaughter. After many years the climate control and air conditioning systems within the facility began to spit strange toxins into the surrounding city, causing a red cloud to form over the area - which proved lethal to anyone who tried to explore the city. Only a mysterious group called the ghost people survived to call the city home, trapped inside what appear to be Hazmat suits, they wander the streets never speaking to their victims, only capturing them alive and dragging them away to the depths of the city deep within the Cloud.
And so the Sierra Madre faded from memory, only occasionally being seen in posters across the wastes, until it took on mythic ghost story status, a supposed "City of Gold" in the Wasteland where all the treasures of the Old World were rumored to be held. It was kept alive as a late-night saloon story by prospectors who'd claimed to have found maps leading there and were willing to part with the map for a few caps. Or a drink. Or a warm place to sleep.
The Sierra Madre is a mythical place in the wastes, with travelers risking their lives to find it. Only one man truly "found" it and lived. After the fall of HELIOS One, Father Elijah of the Mojave Brotherhood of Steel set out to find new weapons to eradicate the NCR, and in the process he found the Sierra Madre.
__________
Honest Hearts
Honest Hearts takes you on an expedition to the unspoiled wilderness of Utah?s Zion National Park. Things go horribly wrong when your caravan is ambushed by a tribal raiding band. As you try to find a way back to the Mojave, you become embroiled in a war between tribes and a conflict between a New Canaanite missionary and the mysterious Burned Man. The decisions you make will determine the fate of Zion National Park itself.
__________
Old World Blues
"The residents of the Mojave have long assumed the trackless wastes of the ?Big Empty? are a no-mans' land, a desolate stretch where no living thing can survive. In Old World Blues, you discover that it is anything but..."
In Old World Blues, the Courier discovers how some of the Mojave?s mutated monsters (cazadores and nightstalkers) came into being whilst he or she unwittingly becomes a lab rat in a science experiment gone awry. The Courier must scour the pre-War research centers of the Big Empty in search of technology that can either turn the tables on the kidnappers or help them defeat an even greater threat.
After being transported to the Big MT research crater, you find that you're the only hope of saving the "Think Tank" ? a strange group of post-human researchers who inhabit the facility. They enlist your aid to save them from their own experiments - experiments that have gone horribly out of control. As you explore the Big Empty crater and its many underground labs, you?ll confront strange mutated animals, battle terrifying new atomic robots and discover a new home base to call your own. Recover all the weapons, armor and tech of the pre-War era and use them to help save all of Science!
__________
Lonesome Road
Lonesome Road brings the Courier's story full circle when you are contacted by the original "courier six", a man by the name of Ulysses who refused to deliver the Platinum chip at the start of the main storyline in Fallout: New Vegas. In his transmission, Ulysses promises the answer as to why, but only if you take one last job - a job that
leads you into the depths of the Divide, a landscape torn apart by frequent earthquakes and violent storms. This is the fabled location of the battle between the Courier and Ulysses. The road to the Divide is a long and treacherous one, and of the few to ever walk the road, none have ever returned.
__________
Courier's Stash DLC
Courier's Stash is a Fallout: New Vegas add-on released on September 27, 2011, alongside the Gun Runners' Arsenal pack. It is a compilation of the four item packs that were previously released as bonuses for pre-ordering the game, at certain retailers.
_________
Gunrunner's Arsenal DLC
Gun Runners' Arsenal is a Fallout: New Vegas add-on. It was released on September 27, 2011 along with the Courier's Stash. It increases the number of unique weapons, weapon mods, ammo types, and recipes waiting to be uncovered in the Mojave Wasteland, and add new challenges and achievements.
REVIEWS
Fallout: New Vegas
In New Vegas, the fun Fallout 3 formula is intact, with more polished combat, high-quality side missions, and the
exciting setting of the Vegas strip. Unfortunately, the bugs also tagged along for the ride. If Obsidian and
Bethesda had polished up the game by fixing the AI, improving the animations or even gotten it to run smoothly,
perhaps it would feel less like a giant expansion of Fallout 3 and more like its own game. Be that as it may,
Fallout 3 was a great game, so as similar as it is, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fun ride that offers more for
fans of the series to enjoy. If you can look past its shortcomings, this is definitely a wasteland worth exploring.

Dead Money
If you already own New Vegas chances are that you've accepted the fact that the game doesn't run well and might
break on you. Dead Money is no different, so don't expect it to be. So for the patient souls out there, this fresh
spin on Fallout is a decent buy. With a level cap raise and an interesting (but at times tedious) 4 to 6-hour quest
line, this add-on can be worth the money if you're into survival horror.
If you don't like being stealthy and aren't close to hitting the level cap yet, you should hold off for a bit
longer. An inevitable patch should help relieve some of the anxiety, or you could wait for the sure-to-come Game of
the Year edition and get more bang for your buck.

Honest Hearts
When considering the $10 or 800 Microsoft point purchase, ask yourself these questions: Do I like Fallout, but need
a new place to explore? Do I want a higher level cap? Do I want to know more about the Burned Man? If the answer to
any of these is ?yes?, then do yourself a favor and download Honest Hearts. It doesn?t change much of the Fallout
formula, which is a good thing. The narrative could be stronger and there?s a lack of variety in terms of creatures
occupying the park, but these are minor complaints about an otherwise enjoyable time.

Old World Blues
After playing Dead Money and Honest Hearts, Old World Blues was a great surprise. Sure, the gameplay formula is
typical Fallout -- fetch quests, exploration, killing, and moral decision making -- but it?s wrapped in a genuinely
humorous package. That plus the boosted level cap, new arsenal and charming characters make this package well worth
the $10 or 800 Microsoft point price tag.
______
Lonesome Road
After spending around seven hours with Lonesome Road one thing became clear: you won?t want to purchase it for the
story. Like other downloadable content packs, you?ll gain five additional levels and some sweet weapons worth some
serious cash?er bottle caps. Unfortunately, those are the only major benefits. In this case, only Fallout fans
desperate for more content should embark on this oddly paced journey through the Divide.
