Journalism student Edward DeLaRosa reminds readers why they should purchased Fallout 4 based on the previous games in the series.

Gamers across the world are impatiently waiting for the new series release of Fallout 4 with better graphics, more player interact, and new locations. Sometimes we forget the others games in the series. Which is the reason we got hooked on the game in the first place. Fallout New Vegas was the recent game for Bethesda Inc. and released in 2010. The Fallout series is based on a retro-futuristic post-apocalyptic America. It is specific in southwest part of the nation with states like California, Nevada, Arizona, and the former city of Las Vegas which is now called New Vegas. It’s about where you must survive the radioactive wasteland and monasteries that roam the land.

I have played Fallout New Vegas over and over again. And every time I play, I is always new things and new endings to discover. So the game doesn’t feel like its repeating itself. Finding new locations, Easter eggs, people, landmarks, and ideology, you can custom your own player by making it look exactly like you or someone else.  And a add traits with the help of S.P.E.C.I.A.L., each letter means one trait. S.P.E.C.I.A.L. means Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, and Luck. These traits are what will help your character survive the wasteland. Another thing you can do is join a faction in game such as the New California Republic, Caesar’s Legion or the mysterious Mr. House.

The pros of owning this game are it’s a massive and varied game world, new fractions in the series, powerful and entertaining story, and everything you do affects the story. Some cons of the game is there are too many bugs and glitches, no change of the environment, sloppy first person shooting, and      poor players.

I rate Fallout New Vegas an 8.5 of 10. And recommend playing the game before the new game Fallout 4 is releases Nov. 10. This game will be a good starter for people who are new to the game series or if you like to play the classics. Fallout New Vegas is an atomic blast of fun.
