Cyberpunk 2077 vs Fallout: New Vegas
Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most revolutionary open-world adventures today and that's not all too surprising since it is created by the makers of the renowned The Witcher game series.In this game, you play as a V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary roaming the streets of Night City, a bustling metropolis riddled with crime, and its inhabitants, obsessed with power. Your actions and decisions will shape the story and the world around you, as well as the fate of the NPCs and other noteworthy characters you’ll encounter, like Judy Alvarez and Johnny Silverhand, who is played by Keanu Reeves. Exploring the neon-illuminated streets of Night City will lead you to interact with various factions, from corporate giants to gangs vying for power in the underground, that will give you quests and countless activities to do.
As V, you’ll have access to a massive collection of weapons and cybernetic enhancements designed to aid you in combat and in your quest to look for the implant that is key to immortality. The game has a massive collection of customization options, letting you change how V looks on a whim. Moreover, your implants and skills will decide your builds and overall playstyle. Whether you want to be a silent pistol assassin or be an all-out brawler, the choice is yours.
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout: New Vegas is what many hardcore fans of the popular game franchise called a "spin-off" but even so, the game is incredibly well-done in terms of its gameplay and graphics. You'll get to experience a whole new "world" (the map of post-apocalyptic Vegas... a.k.a. New Vegas) filled with plenty of hidden secrets and interesting quests to discover. There is also a more intriguing connection between the characters in this game, allowing for an epic power struggle between factions to realistically play out... with some nudging of your own, of course.The game even boasts of a new features like a companion wheel so you can order your companion around in a smoother manner, as well as a weapon configuration system that may not be as in-depth as in Fallout 4 but it definitely paves the way to the incredible weapon crafting/customization system that the game uses today.
The most unfortunate part about this game though is that it's riddled with quite a lot of glitches - none of which are truly gamebreaking but they can be rather immersion-breaking. Nonetheless, despite being kind of like the black sheep in the family, Fallout: New Vegas is still a fantastic open world RPG with one of the creepiest Fallout DLCs (IMHO).
