Jerec, this is brilliant. I've had the game sitting still in its shrink wrap for months now, and it was going to stay there until I could be bothered to finish off Fallout 3. It's now the very next game on mt list.
For us. For them. For you. |

Thanks EmP. The words for this just kept running around my mind in circles while I tried to sleep, so I had to get them written down. Last time I could summon that sort of passion about a game was for FFXIII, and that was not the good kind of passion.

Man. I must say, this review surprised me. While there were some (very minor) things that I didn't like, usually having to do with how you worded things, the sheer emotion you inject into this thing really shines through. It's quite touching and I've found myself feeling moved by your situation despite knowing that you're only talking about a video game. I guess that just shows how much games can affect someone if they're done properly. That certainly seems to be the case here.

Mm. Awesome. Great narrative thread, and the review fits neatly together as a piece. This is a very good review, imo.

This is a good review. I'd played Fallout 3 for a couple days and it kinda fit in the "it's good and all, but..." category where the thought of finishing it didn't overly excite me. Because of that, New Vegas didn't really attract my attention all that much. After reading this review, I can see me buying it at some time, as you made it seem really cool.

I enjoyed this a lot. It made up for people at work who wouldn't stop talking about it and also discussed the moral dilemmas more than they did--which I like.

I'm quite late. But this is a sweet review. Nicely done.
