Elon Musk never disappoints with his gaming choices. The X chief has always impressed the gaming community with his picks which include top-tier masterpieces like Elden Ring, Diablo 4, Overwatch, and many more. However, there have also been some unpopular choices that have brought the entrepreneur under scrutiny as a gaming fanatic. In one similar episode, Elon Musk ‘the gamer’ makes a rather “controversial” remark on a thirteen-year-old classic. 

Over the years, very few franchises have been able to cash on the legacy of their labels. Fallout unarguably remains on the list of these top-tier brands. While the debate around Fallout’s succession as a series remains never-ending, Elon Musk has a clear favorite from the long list of sequels and spin-offs. Well, not all might agree with the X boss’s claims; it has still brought a Fallout gem into the limelight on its thirteenth release anniversary. 

Elon Musk hails praises for the 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas 

Fallout: New Vegas was released in 2010 as a spin-off of the role-playing adventure franchise. The game is still one of the most celebrated launches of the series including some solid backing by the critics. However, post the launch of Fallout 4, the cult fan following saw a drift to the latest installment. Anyway, the question of the best Fallout game in history remains debatable to date. But, maybe that debate has ended for Elon Musk! The SpaceX chief tweeted, “At the risk of saying something controversial, Fallout New Vegas was a great game.”

To all those who might have forgotten New Vegas, the dedicated spin-off emphasized more refined character development and enhanced combat experience. Moreover, the narrative of the game impressed all the RPG fanatics worldwide. Although the game faced some criticisms for its bugs and glitches, the story and open-world building received thumbs up from critics everywhere.

What makes the latest Elon Musk tweet more special is the fact that Fallout: New Vegas celebrated its thirteenth release anniversary on October 19, 2023. A game that took the standards of its predecessor Fallout 3 to a whole new level certainly would be revisited by a lot of fans thanks to Elon Musk. But how does Fallout 4 work in comparison to New Vegas? 

Comparing Fallout 4 to the 2010 spin-off

Both Fallout 4 and New Vegas have their own innovations and pitches to the gamers. However, there’s one major factor where New Vegas has an edge over its successor. Apparently, that might have convinced Elon Musk to make the tweet! 

As a role-playing game, fans look forward to unpredictability and open-ended narratives in an RPG. While Fallout 4 has better graphics and visuals, New Vegas has a much better story and open-ended storylines to explore. Moreover, the spin-off also works better for challenge lovers. It is more immersive and indulging in the context of setting and events. Even as a DLC, New Vegas might win the race due to its more convincing narrative. 

It seems like the X boss has his research all sorted and the tweet might not be too “controversial” after all. What are your thoughts?
