    I'm a bit astonished by the fact that there's so many user reviews and all are positive. After having played, and experienced varying levels of enjoyment with the other DLCs for FO, the showstopping 'money stops paying out when selling to the AI unit' bug hasn't impacted anyone else's play. This DLC, while having some interesting moments, is a prime example of a software house using offshore labor to churn out buggy add-ons. Expand

    The fallout universe has always been full of trekking from A to B then back in search of scrap off of the floor, but Old World Blues goes above and beyond. It seems that every time i find the necessary quest items, 6 more will sprout up from nowhere, then 6 more and so on. I wouldnt mind but it is such an artificial way of lengthening game play which i have come to expect but have since never been so aware of. Sure, a lot of detail has gone into the environment, the irritating AI characters and reskinning existing models, but on the whole the Big Empty is exactly that. Expand

    Although it's larger and more fully developed than Honest Hearts, I'm afraid that Fallout: New Vegas-Old World Blues is another case of a great idea not living up to its potential.

    There's several enjoyable hours of fighting and fetch-quests here. [Nov 2011, p.91]
  3. The best Fallout DLC to date. [Nov 2011, p.112]
