If you get it (and you should; it's awesome), go to the Fallout New Vegas Nexus website and find some game mods to make it even better and fix some issues that Obsidian and Bethesda haven't gotten around to yet.
I need some advice about Fallout New Vegas.

Much better than Fallout 3, in my opinion. For 15$, it's an absolute steal. It's well written, unlike Fallout 3. Much more morally ambiguous, even though it keeps the karma system that Fallout 3 had, it doesn't revolve around it like Fallout 3 did. Fallout 3 has some things over it, but overall I enjoyed New Vegas much more.
In some respects, yes. It's better.
The story is miles better because it actually gives you a lot of choice. The writing is far superior, the conversation is more riveting and the characters are far more memorable and diverse in their personalities and backgrounds, particularly Yes Man and Arcade Gannon. The reputation system makes for some difficult moral choices while the ones in Fallout 3 are generally black and white. It also does a great job of handling sexuality. Their's quite a few gay characters for whom their sexuality is one of the smaller things about them. Their not stereotypes either.
I will say that Fallout 3 has a better setting, It just feels more....apocalypticy. The side quests are also higher quality than the side quests in New Vegas, even though there's far less of them.

I've just stated Fallout:NV-I'm a level 6 character-and so far, I can't say that I'm all that impressed. By this I mean; it's a fine game but it's Fallout 3 in Vegas, so far.
Nothing WRONG with the game-small glitches but nothing making me unable to play so far-but nothing impressive either.
So if you can get New Vegas cheap, go for it! My experience is that both games are pretty cool and despite glitchiness, you really can't go wrong with either of them.

fallout new vegas is less atmospheric than fallout 3, but better in every other regard, word of advice if your going to play fallout 3 play it before New vegas because the gameplay is improved so much you cant go back
Don't forget the polishing of the shooting mechanics. I tried going back to FO3 for some DC ruins fun, but just couldn't get past how archaic the combat felt. FO:NV really did so much better in that respect, plus the companions worked so much better.Outright Villainy said:
Ignore any bad press that New Vegas is getting here and just buy it already! it's funnier, brighter and more memorable than Fallout 3. The gameplay has also improved a lot as well. Factions also make for interesting developments and the open ending is great. Some of the characters are also unforgetable. The only thing this game lacks is some flashly modern graphics, but maybe thats not a bad thing as it adds to it's charm

Sure. Just don't forget to install all the coolest mods.

Project Nevada is a good choice, for example.

It actually depends, being a Fallout fanatic, I really think the two games are seperate games, which may seem obvious. Fallout 3 is leaning more toward survival. Of the Post Apocalyptia, Fallout 3 is the beggining, surviving a hostile world, and making the first steps toward taming it. Fallout New Vegas builds on that, focusing on shaping a developing society, not so much surviving the world as much as working with it.

Did I....miss something, when I played Fallout 3, and found the story to be a cookie-cutter tale of Evil, greedy rich people trying to harm the common man, forcing you to either do the rational, "good" thing, or the absolutely irrational and pointless "evil" thing, in the dumbest display of morality in any modern RPG?Iwata said:
OT: Get New Vegas. Choices actually matter. The Wasteland is not a giant, flat piece of mud with muddy buildings full of muddy people. The factions are actually interesting, instead of being "good guys" and "bad guys who's balls you can still suck, should you choose to be an utter psychopath". Also, it has better Role-playing gameplay.
it honestly depends, judging by all the fps's you do i would maybe suggest fallout 3 more, personally i found it complete garbage compared to fallout new vegas but as you can see opinions will defer quite a bit online, so honestly i would look into it a bit more online with some reviews and whatnot before making your decision.
edit:
like i was saying, the person i quoted i completely agree with to the T but the posters he quoted are complete opposite
