need help! saints row 2 or fallout 3

[LordSnakeEyes]

I'm going to have to side with Fallout3, since it *is* the best game available (save the classic Legend Of Zelda OoT, but that's N64... so stick with Fallout3, Jade Empire and GTA4.)

I'm going to stand up for GTA4 though, Saint's Row 2 is different in gameplay and is a very fun game as well, but I have to side with GTA4 on some things.
Here's my view on it (opinion, so don't argue with me)

-Saint's Row 2: Very Fun, Colorful (unlike GTA4's gritty grey spectrum thing), the many styles of combat are fun to watch and the story is light-hearted when compared to the depression mania GTA4 can instill in you.

-GTA4: Here's where I stand up for the game I have, the targeting mechanics and car driving gameplay aspects are tighter and the controls are superior in that respect, true: you do have an annoying cousin but he's a simple fix (just say no, he eventually get's the message), the NPCs are more realistic in their reactions to what you do (it may be sadistic of me, but I like to snipe one in the leg and catch up to him with my favorite baseball bat), the lack of enemy gangs makes cops the only people who will shoot at you in general (save the rare guy with a gun who is a really quick fix) and finally, I prefer the physics mechanic in GTA4, which is more "psycho-crash-kills-4-people" in it's execution.
Plus the Explosions look Awesome.

Fallout 3. the immersion is just incredible, despite the glitches

Fallout 3 doesn't resemble Oblivion one bit.

Rather several bits.

This is really funny. I have fallout 3 and was just playing saints row 2 at a friends house. Fallout 3 is better by far. But saints row 2 is a lot of fun. There are hours of fun to be had hijacking and flying airplanes.

Go Fallout 3. I wrote a review of it, so you can find my opinions on it there. I wouldn't go Saint's Row 2 unless you liked the first one, and really want some more over-the-top running-and-gunning sandbox action.

To sum it up: get Fallout 3 first, but find some room for Saint's Row 2 in future if you can

Saint's Row 2 has a Pimp Cane shotgun, a UFO, a mini-motorcycle, insane customization, and includes infinite ammo for everything but Explosives as unlockable rewards. And the flamethrower and Minigun also don't get infinite without cheats.

It's not exactly going for realism. Its really over the top, and the most fun co-op experience of your life, if you like to let loose.

Fallout 3 is pretty good, but just not fun for me. But nearly everyone else loves it, so give it a shot.

You can't really go wrong here.

FLIP A COIN!

SR 4 is a good game, but Fallout 3 will have you by the balls in ways that Saints Row can't compare with. Go with Fallout 3.

Fallout 3.


YAY SMASHING MUTANTS WITH A SLEDGE HAMMAR!

Plastic Surgery in SR2 is fantastic. If you get bored with your looks you can just change 'em. An pertinant comment on today's modern obsession, I reckon.

Fallout 3 takes the crown in this bout, but if I were you, I would have passed over GTA IV in favor of Saint's Row 2. GTA IV is great, but it got too far away from its zany roots (San Andreas FTW!!!). Get Fallout 3, but if you're still itching for some open world mayhem, go out and get Saint's Row 2 when you're done.

Fall out 3, its pretty much never ending and Saints row pissed me off. The only way you can do main missions if u do the side stuff. Not that i dont hate the side stuff but sometimes i just wanna advance the damn story!

 

[Aunel]

Fallout 3 for the win!

They are both amazing games but if I had to chose I would chose Saints Row 2 for the reason that it is just plain old mindless fun.
