10 Broken Games That Are GOD-TIER Now

8. Fallout: New Vegas

Halo Infinite
Bethesda

Obsidian's reputation is a double-edged sword. On one hand, they're known for being one of the best western RPG developers in gaming history, making RPGs that stand the test of time. But on the hand, their games can often come out...undercooked. 

One of the funniest offenders of this is, ironically, their magnum opus: Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout: New Vegas wasn't unplayable upon release, but it was damn close to it. Even looking past the occasional glitch like the infamous rotating head, the launch version of New Vegas also suffered from obscenely long load times, low FPS, and constant crashing. The CTD problem is still an issue for many PC players, to this day. 

Fortunately, after a lot of patching, the biggest holes in Obsidian's proudest ship were plugged, and New Vegas has since gone on to be widely accepted as the best Fallout game in the entire franchise. While it may have had an incredibly rough first year, barely anyone remembers it anymore, allowing New Vegas to thrive as it deserves.
