Fallout 4 (PS4, XB1, PC)

Love the game and would not buy #5 IF settlements are not included.

Q. I was thinking of getting New Vegas as it's backwards compatible. You like that game a lot don't you?

It's the best of the series for the die-hard RPG gamer. It is more of a hardcore RPG in comparison to 3 and 4, plus the story is great. There is no building or settlements and power armor is not given to you. You will have to repair everything from armor to weapons (they break down) and even have to craft/manage ammo because there are different qualities of each type of ammo. The biggest selling point is the amount of ways you can tackle the game and that being good or bad (karma system) really does matter and impacts the story, early and often. The biggest snag is that the desert environment is vast, kinda fugly and makes you want to run straight to Vegas.

Also there are these things.

Spoiler: show

Before buying you might want to watch some gameplay videos. This may not be the game for you. Plus it has not aged well, at all.
