    As is typical with Bethesda games there are constant freezing issues and my system locks up repeatedly while playing it. As much as I enjoyed the quests and additional content the game is virtually unplayable. Don't waste your money.

    So so so sorry i got this. SAME as last compilation, Fallout 3: GOTY... This freezes and crashes non stop. Makes it litterally unplayable and they dont care. The wont fix it, they wont patch it. They instead release a broken game that somehow got past Q&A. My advice? DONT buy this game. It is a complete disaster. I took it back to gamestop and got my money back thank god. Bought a GOOD game, called GTA IV.… Expand

    Well, it only took about 40 minutes of play time to encounter my first game-breaking bug, requiring me to do a hard shut off and restart of my PS3. There is a fantastic amount of content on this game, but hard to say at this point how much of it will actually be accessible due to bugs. Since Beth has effectively fixed Skyrim on this platform (I longer have any complaints, after many many hours of gameplay), I'm hoping they'll patch this game up as well. If not, I'll wind up trading it in for a bag of peanuts, no doubt.… Expand

    Do research before even considering buying the fallout NV ultimate edition, I had never encountered this much terror in the normal fallout NV version. After barely 3 hours of playing the game I had started to get incredible lag and it happens every hour or two now rendering the game almost entirely unplayable unless you reset your PS3 system. I don't know if there is a way to fix it but it doesn't seem so - the only solution is a temp fix by resetting system but the lag will come back. Have problems with sound dying/audio becoming un-sync more often in this game. I will hear gunshots late and people will be moving lips but they won't say anything right away. I really liked this game when I played it originally and was hoping to play the DLC but I don't know if it's going to be possible for me, this is worse then the lag us PS3 users were getting on Skyrim. Unfortunately you may as well mark this version a lost cause and not purchase the Ultimate Edition. Bethesda doesn't patch old games, I'm sure Obsidian is the same way. I'm giving this game a 0 because it's just not playable and it's never going to be fixed, it's a joke that something like this could be released I seriously doubt it was tested at all for quality assurance. My save file was a little under 4 MB before I started experiencing severe lag and when that happens you just gotta give it up. I'm not sure who to blame for this mess but.. Obsidian & bethesda you both make me sick.… Expand

    You don't have Fallout: New Vegas and you like the franchise? Then the Ultimate Edition is a perfect way to get hours of action RPG gameplay for low money, because the Ultimate Edition combines the great basic game with all patches and DLCs.

    Everything there was minus the bugs. That has to be enough for one step up the score-ladder. Yes, but only because New Vegas doesn´t reduce itself to just more stuff, but also offers a high level of storytelling that even in RPGs can´t be found that often.
