Fallout: New Vegas - Old World Blues Reviews

by Dhruin, 2011-07-21 22:03:22

Obsidian is pointing out a handful of rather positive Old World Blues reviews.

Gaming Irresponsibly, with a score of 5/5:

This is the funniest Fallout DLC I have ever played. There’s humor coming from all angles: with robots that think you have penises for fingers and toes, a mad drug addicted robot and the egomaniac toaster. Old World Blues is definitely the most fun and entertaining add-on to any of the Fallout series. There are hours of gameplay in this DLC: Bethesda has added 5 more levels to your level cap making it 40, 5 new perks, an extra 4 unlock-able perks and 5 new achievements/trophies. The only bad point I can think of with this DLC is that some of the side quests are rather tedious. At certain points they have you going to four certain destinations then to four more, then to the same four you previously went to, and so on. There is also a tad too much dialogue at the beginning of the game when you meet Dr. Klein, but apart from that it is totally worth purchasing!

The Examiner, with 'A-':

And so, you can imagine how excited we were when we realized that Old World Blues was both A) very, very funny and B) absolutely worth the price of admission.  There are a number of new weapons on-hand (the new gun that's basically a gatling gun with a dog's brain strapped onto the side of it is great fun to shoot), new enemies to slaughter (the mechanized Radscorpions look like Iron Man crossed with, uh, Radscorpions), a ton of locations (35 in all), a great story (we'll get to that in the next paragraph), and the scenery's 300 times more interesting than anything we saw in Honest Hearts.  This is-- simply put-- the best Fallout DLC since Point Lookout.  Yeah, I said it.

A short article at The Controller, with a score of 8/10:

Welcome to Big Mountain where Science is a noun. The third Fallout New Vegas DLC installment, Old World Blues, is upon us. Dead Money was great and Honest Hearts was not, so how does this add-on fare? With an interesting new setting, cool new weapons and perks and a completely different tone, it is a great addition to the Fallout New Vegas family. At times un-nerving and always humorous, Old World Blues is a must have for Fallout fans.
