The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players agree New Vegas has the best writing and choice-driven RPG mechanics in the Fallout series, but its PC version crashes frequently and requires mods to run smoothly. Some describe it as unplayable without them, while others push through the crashes for the story and replayability.
