09.27.16 | oh shit oh shit VEGAS BABY. gonna start playing right now |
demigod!
09.27.16 | new vegas wins by a fucking landslide not even close man. only thing 3 has is a cool environment and some neat craftable weapons, p much everything else is lolbad
get 3 and install the tale of two wastelands mod to NV if you haven't played it yet. don't bother with the all the horrid storytelling and dummy characters |
YakNips
09.27.16 | ya both are great but i'd rather play new vegas any day |
Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | new vegas is fun, I don't know what the hell 3 is about. played it for ten hours and was like ...this isn't fun |
TheSpaceMan
09.27.16 | between the two, three is better no doubt. 1>3>2>NV>4 |
Snide
09.27.16 | 3 has a wonderful world, but there's just certain key features missing in 3 that lead me to only play around 40-ish hours, as opposed to the 500+ hours I have on Fallout New Vegas across various platforms. |
TheSpaceMan
09.27.16 | the jump from 2 to 3 is so fucking amazing. NV just added more shit to do, which I guess sells to some people but 3 is a 5/5 game. the more I think about it, its actually better than 1 |
Futures
09.27.16 | mojave desert is boring af |
TheSpaceMan
09.27.16 | yea thats another huge factor Capital Wasteland is beautifully realized |
demigod!
09.27.16 | it has so much more going on than dc i could go on for hours about all the factions and tribes and conflicts ugh best game ever |
Drifter
09.27.16 | Fallout New Vegas is the greatest game of all time |
demigod!
09.27.16 | so playing some nv tonight great thread |
Snide
09.27.16 | The Factions, Tribes, and all of that were one of the best parts about New Vegas.
I'm actually about to do a new playthrough as an NCR Sniper with mad fuckin' charisma, gun, and intellect to start off. Also just installed some graphics mods. |
JoyfulPlatypus
09.27.16 | The only thing better about Fallout 3 was the world. It was darker, more compact, and felt really interesting to explore. New Vegas had a cool world too, but it felt too bright and open, and too often I was just wandering through seemingly endless desert, occasionally killing a radscorpion. In just about every other aspect though, such as the tribes, gameplay, dialogue, and characters, I prefer New Vegas. |
Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | I don't like when everything is right next to each other and it doesn't feel like a real world, which is probably why I don't have any problem with New Vegas' map, plus the DLC made up for that hugely. |
zakalwe
09.27.16 | I loved New Vegas but it's the most bugged game of all time. Couldn't even enter the main strip on my first play through.
Fallout 3 is an all time fave. |
bakkermaarten007
09.27.16 | "played it for ten hours and was like ...this isn't fun"
You needed ten hours to find out that the fun thing you thought you were doing wasn't fun? |
sempiturtle
09.27.16 | Fallout 4 didn't disappoint me. |
demigod!
09.27.16 | not bugged at all if you play it on pc with modz :^)
FALLOUT 3 IS LITERAL TRASH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJ1gyIzg78 |
Snide
09.27.16 | I hated Fallout 4, but I still gave it 20 hours, just to give it a chance and hope it would improve. With games as large as the Fallout series, you NEED to give it that extra time or else it's not gonna do well. |
TheSpaceMan
09.27.16 | if you think Fallout 3 is trash you played NV first and dont appreciate how much it did for that game |
sempiturtle
09.27.16 | Tbh the only things I missed in 4 were the skills/traits that weren't a part of the perk system. |
Snide
09.27.16 | I don't think FO3 is bad, I just enjoy NV a lot more. |

09.27.16 | Tbf ten hours in a fallout game is probably when you'd just get to the strip in NV. |

09.27.16 | yeah ten hours is giving a fallout game a fair chance before dropping it. considering I've put hundreds into new vegas |

ConcubinaryCode
09.27.16 | NV biggest complaint in the bugs has pretty much been ironed out too. I played 3 and NV gotye last year and I think NV was the better experience with more going on in it. Better written, better gameplay elements, better dlc, better ways to unfold the campaign. It would've only been better too if not that it wasn't rushed to meet a deadline. Plus Bethesda wouldn't give royalties to obsidian if it didn't meet a certain score on metacritic and I think they juuust missed it too. The one thing I can think NV did wrong was that it just ended once you beat it. |
Futures
09.27.16 | fallout 4 is great for the combat system alone honestly |
Snide
09.27.16 | Fallout 4 would have been a perfect game, if they didn't neuter dialogue and didn't neuter the skill system |
Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | "Plus Bethesda wouldn't give royalties to obsidian if it didn't meet a certain score on metacritic and I think they juuust missed it too."
wow |
demigod!
09.27.16 | i played 3 on launch, if im gonna appreciate anything for its influence on nv itll be morrowind tbh |
Snide
09.27.16 | ""Plus Bethesda wouldn't give royalties to obsidian if it didn't meet a certain score on metacritic and I think they juuust missed it too."

Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | I already had my suspicions but yeah Bethesda confirmed scumbags (2) |
Gwyn.
09.27.16 | Yeah they needed 85 or plus on metacritic. It reached 84. Dick move. |
Snide
09.27.16 | Game should have had at least an 89 tbh |
Sinternet
09.27.16 | new vegas but i've never played 3
probably should but the graphics look pretty dated, maybe they can remaster that in a new improved engine and i'll give it a go |
Snide
09.27.16 | "graphics look pretty dated"
Mods. Besides, NV and 3 both look pretty similar graphically |
ConcubinaryCode
09.27.16 | Yeah, Bethesda just gave obsidian the engine they used to make FO3 for NV. |
Sinternet
09.27.16 | i guess mods but idc enough to
new vegas i played when it came out so its got that nostalgia impact |
Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | user score is 85 so fuck metacritics 84 |
Snide
09.27.16 | Bethesda should have given royalties, regardless of the score.
Obsidian developed the game, that's just fucked up. |
Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | shit I think new vegas is at least a 9.6/10 |
Snide
09.27.16 | Enjoyment wise, NV is a hard 10/10
From a critique standpoint, I'd give it a 9.1/10 roughly |
RunOfTheMill
09.27.16 | Both are rewarding and fun games. If I were to play Fallout 3 again, I would get mods to update its mechanics and integrate features from NV. |
combustion07
09.27.16 | Fallout 3 is my favorite but it's probably mostly due to nostalgia |
FearThyEvil
09.27.16 | New Vegas is ten times the game FO3 is |

Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | fuckin KOTOR 2 man... |
FearThyEvil
09.27.16 | New Vegas destroyed everything FO3 offered. Better story, factions, environment, characters, quests, writing, I could go on and on.
New Vegas 10/10
Fallout 3 7.5/10
Fallout 4 6/10
New Vegas is my 2nd favorite game of all time and I'm currently doing another playthrough on pc. |
Gwyn.
09.27.16 | I only really liked Fo3 because of the loot whoring/character progression aspect that I like in most dungeon crawlers, Fo4 did away with that way too much in favor of dumb unnecessary base management and trying to make every single little thing you find matter
The combat was fun but it wasn't enough to make me finish it |
Futures
09.27.16 | lol |
Storm In A Teacup
09.27.16 | the replay factor of New Vegas is unreal |
FearThyEvil
09.27.16 | Seriously, this is probably my 5th or 6th play-through of the game. Although it's my first time on pc. |
Masochist
09.27.16 | Fallout 3. Fallout: New Vegas tweaked and refined the gameplay, but Fallout 3 gave me a true sense of wonder. Like, what do I do? They just dumped me into the Wasteland and expected me to just...go. That feeling is so imbedded into me. I adore the Fallout franchise because of 3. |
Drifter
09.27.16 | FNV: 10/10
F3: 9.6/10
F4: 9.4/10, fuck the voice acting. Brings it down a bit
The only thing FO3 has over NV is the depression it makes you feel about the world and its characters |
FearThyEvil
09.27.16 | 9.4 for f4 lol |

09.28.16 | NV. Fallout 3 has the dumbest story and flattest characters in the series, and the choice and consequence is non-existent |

09.28.16 | "I wish there was a run button in New Vegas"
There is run on pc but it switches between walk and run and it's obnoxious as fuck. |
mifzal
09.28.16 | I was stung by a miniature Cazardor (Great Black Wasp). I never, ever, ever screamed in any pain before . That thing made a bee sting look like a small pinch. but the pain lasted for few seconds. I can't even imagine how painful the sting of spider wasp would be. |

smaugman
09.28.16 | i always found fallout 3 and new vegas' world pretty bland. the games could seriously need a remaster. gamebryo is a terrible engine, and it's pretty apparent in the way the world looks. the colours are lifeless, and everything looks the same |

09.28.16 | "gamebryo is a terrible engine" disagree with this hard. |

voltairesangryglove
09.29.16 | fo3 is a decent game but horribly written with very few memorable characters. also few meaningful decisions in a game that's supposed to be about making choices. it's best enjoyed by avoiding the main story.
new vegas is one of the best games ever. |

captaincrunch11
09.29.16 | Vegas with all the DLC is the most quirky, interesting, and overall fun game of the PS3/360 era. Love some of the dialogue choices and the story is fucking insane. Mr. house is a 300 year old zombie alien?! The weapons were fantastic, battles were epic, and you could be a total dick in that game lmao. I love both games but I go back to New Vegas much more than Fallout 3. (The DLC in both games are a must) |
captaincrunch11
09.29.16 | Also Fallout 4 is dope. Currently playing Nuka-World. |
Jeffrulesyou
09.29.16 | Once NV got some mods to get rid of the bugs and when they added some DLC in NV I think it was the better experience for me to play overall. Fallout 3 was great too though and it's a close call. The real issue with Fallout 4 is it just wasn't a very good RPG, hell it was barely one. It wasn't a bad game, it was just disappointing in that regard. The gameplay was much better, but it almost felt like they streamlined it too much and forgot what made the other fallout games so great to begin with. |
BrandNewEyes
09.29.16 | the way s.p.e.c.i.a.l. and the perks worked in F4 was honestly what held it back for me |
BrandNewEyes
09.29.16 | i actually had no problem with the dialogue or even the quests for the most part. the silver shroud dialogue was one of my favorite parts of any console fallout. |
Jeffrulesyou
09.29.16 | ^ Yeah, I wasn't too excited about that either, that's one of the things I forgot to mention as well. Lack of dialogue options, perk system, rep gone, etc. Defenitily hurt the game for me. |
Wearingyourmomsface
09.29.16 | Fallout 3 for sure. Every time. There's just something about NV that rubbed me up the wrong way. In part I think it's definitely got to do with the bland colour palette. Every freakin' thing is brown. Even the military outfits.
The Legion is also stupid as hell IMO. FO3 just had a certain charm that NV is sorely missing. |
Storm In A Teacup
09.29.16 | I want a New Vegas 2 with the town building system FO4 but you're preparing a newly formed New Vegas that you made independent and united all the tribes for defense and war. The lizard people that you discover are consuming the west and moving east should be a big part of the story and then the Caesar's legion somehow remnants of it. It'd be cool to have the Dead Horses be included in your tribes as well. |
Veldin
09.29.16 | new vegas is better, but 3 still has some of my favorite Fallout moments |
Ashen
09.29.16 | loved the capital wasteland and the horror aspect of fo3 (dunwich, plunger room of death, etc). it's a great post-apocalyptic survival game and 'take it back' is fun as hell, at least the first few times you do it. new vegas is more true to fallout 1 and 2. hard to say which I prefer. inclined to say new vegas because the rpg aspect of the series is what gives it the most replay value/makes it the most fun for me. |
klap
09.29.16 | morrowind
but really New Vegas. although i really enjoyed fallout 3 when it came out NV is just bigger/better. Fallout 4 had potential but they really noobed the game hard |

StarlessCore
09.29.16 | morrowind |
ellagos
09.29.16 | Aesthetically speaking I find Fallout 3 considerably superior and because they are so similar this makes it just that little bit better |
Evreaia
09.29.16 | fallout 1 and 2 are a lot better than NV and especially that hot pile of garbage called fallout 3. Gameplay is totally different though.
I still do not understand how Bethesda has dropped the ball that fucking hard. |
StarlessCore
09.29.16 | "I still do not understand how Bethesda has dropped the ball that fucking hard."

Evreaia
09.29.16 | After I typed that I was reminded that the only good thing they ever did was Morrowind, so it's better to say they're just a shit studio.
Morrowind was near perfect though. |
Calc
09.29.16 | all three were the same game in my eyes |
Jeffrulesyou
09.29.16 | The only good thing they've ever done was Morrowind? Ha, I'm far from praising everything they've ever made, but take the stick out of your ass. Morrowind was a fantastic game for it's time and it's arguably the finest (RPG) they've ever made. I don't trust anyone that doesn't find enjoyment in Oblivion or Skyrim because they all share a very similar greatness. |
beefshoes
09.29.16 | Pretty sure that the new TES is Valenwood. If so and if they don't fucking dumb the game down, it could be monumental. |

Storm In A Teacup
09.30.16 | I've only run through all the New Vegas dlc once and I only explored 10% of the BIG MIT crater or w/e it's called. Think maybe I should try that again.
I would love a Valenwood TES game |
RunOfTheMill

09.30.16 | Daggerfall was pretty much just as good Morrowind
But neither is as good as the first 2 Fallouts though, or New Vegas for that matter |

worthlessscab
09.30.16 | Is rpg the best genre for singleplayer or what |
smaugman
09.30.16 | yea, by far |
smaugman
09.30.16 | unfortunelately, making games like witcher, elder scrolls, fallout, open world stuff in general costs quite a lot and requires a good team and resources. imo, there are way too many shitty indie games being released to steam these days. you know those pixel shit retro 80s/90s crap |
worthlessscab
09.30.16 | Not necessarily. Games with isometric view, next to zero voice acting and tactical combat, basically the old school model, are significantly cheaper and you can flesh out the role-playing much more. Recent examples are Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, and Torment: Tides of Numenera should be coming out soon |
smaugman
09.30.16 | i guess it depends on personal taste. i dont like indie games in general, i dont like isometric, old school shit etc |

09.30.16 | i torrented oblivion because i already had bought it on ps3 and xbox, but torrented games are so annoying to manage instead of just buying on steam. besides, why not just invest in games when they're on sale like around christmas or black friday |
KILL
09.30.16 | yea i do that too i'm just a cheap fuck
glad i dled xcom 2 tho god that game runs like shite |
demoncleaner
09.30.16 | New Vegas. New Vegas is better in pretty much every single aspect, IMO. The combat is a lot more refined, the writing can balance both absurdly funny moments and complex power struggles, and the sidequests are fucking amazing. I also love the moral ambiguity between the four main factions/paths and all of the minor factions. My only major fault is I wish the city of New Vegas itself was a lot bigger. I'm really hoping that there's an equivalent of New Vegas for Fallout 4 in the works. |
altertide0
09.30.16 | I wish they gave Elder Scrolls to Obsidian |
