I bought the core game a couple months ago for $15 and was satisfied. Heard the dlc wasn't that great anyway.

Why? The content is way more expensive individually. It's a great game.

It's a great game. I played it post all the patches and didn't really encounter any bugs or glitches at all. If anything I would urge everybody who was on the fence about this game to jump in and get this "ultimate version".

No it's really not. New Vegas is not a great game. The DLC deserves applause for trying to tell a structured story over the course of multiple episodes, but it failed to be fun or improve on the faults found in the vanilla game. I just don't believe that Obsidian should rob more people of their money. The way it launched and the consumer support vis a vis patching was atrocious. They don't deserve your money, nor mine.

I've been waiting for this. I didn't want to buy the game and DLC separately because that's what I did with Fallout 3 and the next day all the DLC was 50% off. I was PISSED!

As much as I loved Fallout 3, NV and basically anything Bethesda/Obsidian for that matter, and I don't have any of the DLC, this is a must-buy for me.

for people like me who loved NV, I think it's more than deserving of my money. Especially since it's MY money, I'm not spending yours or anyone else's so what do you care?

I was too, but then the new year's sale on XBL made it kind of silly to sell my copy and get an ultimate edition. Got all of the DLCs for like $20.

I didn't mean to offend, my lord, I was unaware of your financial acumen. Please, tell me how to spend my money, this world is so scary and complicated.

New Vegas is a perfectly serviceable game. If you don't like it, cool, but if people want to buy it, suck it up and leave them alone. They don't know any better? You make it sound like they're some 10 year old with a weeks allowance at a candy store at dinner time.

New Vegas was definitely worth the $15 I invested in it.  Perfectly serviceable open world game, even if it does have some warts.

It's funny that you act like I'm actively hounding users and telling them what to and what not to buy. I'm not. I made a comment expressing my opinion that New Vegas is not worth your money in any shape or form. When asked to defend my stance, I explained myself. I fail to see where I was pushing other people.

Also, "don't know any better" is not a judgment of one's faculties. It's a simple statement. Have you ever seen a mother in a gamestop or electronics store look deer-eyed when they get bombarded with bullshit terminology and corporate-approved buzzwords? They're designed specifically to confuse consumers who don't know any better.

That's what I was referring to with my bear trap comment.

Does the ultimate edition also come with additional time so I can actually play the damn game? I still need to finish Fallout 1! (not to speak of 2, 3 + DLC...)

@Oldirtybearon: You literally told him not to buy it. How are you saying you're not? "You don't know any better, this corporate lingo is too confusing for you. Here, let me tell you the real story. Shhhh, it's going to be alright." This isn't a Mom at a Gamestop, it's guy on a video game website. I think he knows what he wants.

It's clear you're either too proud to back down or too stupid to think you're being an idiot. So I'm done.

It's funny seeing this because I remember all those comments of people saying "I'll wait to get this game when they release a GOTY version with all the DLC and patches" and now I see this and think Hey I guess all those people are finally gonna get this game now!

Fallout New Vegas was a very fun game and was worth the $50 I shelled out for it. Never tried the DLC none of it seemed really interesting. I'd prefer one large dlc than a few small ones.

The DLC in this game was very good and I had funw ith them, didn't really bother with Dead Money though. Justw asn't a fan of the tone in that one.

But Old World Blues has some of the best writing in that game, and legit funny characters in it. and this is great becuase you can use all that cool end DLC loot in the main game.

So BUY IT!

Fallout 3 is my favourite game of this generation. New Vegas was merely a 'decent game'. It didn't measure up.

Might buy this and give a second chance though.

I preordered this game (without dlc version) and was enjoying it until about 3 hours in when I hit a glitch that made the game freeze when I hit the V.A.T.S button (RB?).... Now that I think back I could have gotten a refund but I just traded it in and waited for the Ultimate all DLC up in it version. It's here now so I'm willing to give it another go, I played the shit out of 3 so i doubt I'll hate it.

Forgot to add... Yes I did start over and try another console but I managed to get the same bug again.

Well I feel pretty stupid for buying Fallout NV a couple of months ago. At least I haven't played it yet. When this drops in price I won't feel so bad anymore.

@Oldirtybearon: I've had many, many fewer glitches in New Vegas than I am currently having in Skyrim. Sure, if feels like Fallout 3, but if you haven't played F3, New Vegas is a fantastic game.

And as far as the DLC's failure to outshine the existing game, vanilla Fallout 3 was in nearly everyone's opinion better than its DLC. And I'm just fine with that, no matter the game.

@studnoth1n: If he just left it at he didn't like the game fine. The fact that he says that Obsidian is robbing people of their money is what irks me. I don't think buying the Whiskey Media membership is worth it. Others do. I don't condescend people when they buy things that I wouldn't though. Imagine if he came up to you and went on that exact same diatribe in a store while you were looking at a game. I would be fucking annoyed. Who wouldn't?

This is absolutely worth it to anyone who is even tangentially interested in the game. While some of the DLC isn't awesome (Dead Money's gameplay is a little lacking and frustrating if you aren't heavily specced in melee weapons and sneak), the writing is phenomenal.
