Poll: Borderlands or Fallout 3?

[Sark]

Fallout 3 is Oblivion with guns. Not a real successor to previous Fallout games.

Borderlands is like Diablo with guns. Addictive, loot based cooperative fun.

PC version of Fallout will last you about 30 times as long as the console version would.

If this is true, then you definitely should get Fallout 3. Because I spent hundreds of hours on the console version. Borderlands is really fun though. So choose whichever one you want.

Fallout 3: Single-player RPG-goodness.

Borderlands: Co-op FPS-goodness, with just a hint of RPG.

Wow, how'd you do that?! A single playthrough doesn't take too long, so you, like played the whole game + dlc 3 times? Well... I guess I did too, but I kept expanding it with mods and extra quests and so on.

I spent almost 250 hours on console Fallout 3.

Sometimes it wasn't doing missions, Fallout 3 isn't supposed to be played like that.

Sometimes it's nice to just exist in its world. To take it all in, to soak up the beautiful,lonely, haunting atmosphere.

Seriously, I'll even stand on a ruined flyover at sunset for a whole minute just... looking.

Now I want to play F3 again...

Yes, exactly! Not to mention all of the stuff you find from just walking around. I did one "playthrough" without going to Megaton, and I found myself going to the Outcasts; running missions for them. On all of my other "playthroughs", I had been at war with them...

Yeah, I do agree with you two.
So... I think we've done enough advertising for fallout now, haven't we? i'm sure he'll buy that

I never liked fallout. I can appreciate the nice haunted wastelands, but all immersion is really lost to me. For some reason Bethesda doesn't understand how to optimize. I like Borderlands graphics more, and i can run it on full settings with a 8600 GT and a triple core 2.1 GHz processor. In fallout at the lowest settings i still get a bit of lag and if i don't play it windowed, it freezes and crashes randomly. When it's windowed its really hard to immerse i even tried to put a pitch black desktop but it doesn't help.

Ah yes... Fort Independance. There's some pretty awesome loot in there.

There is no other game that rewards exploration the way F3 does. It's kind of mindblowing, the amount of stuff there is to stumble upon.

F3 by a country mile

 

[connorz001]

id go borderlands i find it to be incredibly fun but i do like fallout 3 as well
but i enjoy a more fun and actiony game so borderlands for me
fo shizzle

Depends on what you want, really.

If you prefer multiplayer you should purchase Bordelands, or if singleplayer is more attractive you're better off with Fallout 3.

Easy as that.

What he said.

Really thats all there is to it.

 

[Commander Jack Rankin]

Fallout 3 has a save anywhere feature, therefore it wins easily.

 

[Lt. Vinciti]

Fallout 3

Broken Steel
Operation: Anchorage
Point Lookout
The Pitt
Mothership Zeta


All these make the game the best. Nothing like being lost in the Wasteland alone wondering how people got back to living 200 years before you.The reading on some consoles about life after The Great War really make it deep.

Oh

And multiplayer usually means someone is going to F*** it up somewhere

 

[veloper]

Depends on the platform
Borderlands PC multiplayer is a pile of shit, but Borderlands IS multiplayer.

On the PC get Fallout3.
On a console Borderlands.

 

[mstickle]

Even though borderlands is the game I'm currenly playing and I like it, I have to point out that borderlands is just a giant grind-fest with practacally no story and the whole game is pretty much based on looting to find better guns. It's a 4 player FPSMMORPG. That's it.

Fallout 3 on the other hand is great and there's a great deal more to it - story for instance, plus there's the DLC. There's also heaps of non story side quest related stuff to discover.

If you only get one get Fallout 3, but later on get Borderlands. I don't understand why people compare them though, they're quite different.

 

[haruvister]

Fallout 3 is better in every respect except it only has 16,999,999 weapons rather than 17,000,000.

Seriously though, FO3 is an absorbing, atmospheric adventure while Borderlands is a run 'n' gun grind-fest. Fallout 3 is richer and more immersive, but will only last weeks; Borderlands will last months but gets quickly repetitive.

 

[theguyinthecorner]

its all a matter of opinion If you want loads of things to do like going in space choose fallout 3 if you are an international soviet arms dealer you should play borderlands

 

[mikecoulter]

I'll be skipping Fallout and getting Borderlands. Just looks like a fun version.

 

[Ryuk2]

They don't have anything in common, so i vote for ''Fuck you, get your own opinion about games.''
I like fallout 3 more, because it has all the gore and VATS system, that really is the thing for me.

 

[Danik93]

I got both and Borderlands is little and i mean really little more fun i like the vehicles but the steering is fucked up I'm at LvL 29 and I've started to like them actually but the regular WASD steering is way more better than steering with the mouse.

 

[SomeBritishDude]

Well you can not get Fallout 3 with all 5 DLC packs for the price of a full game. Only 2 of the DLCs are really worth that much, but it's still a good deal, so Fallout 3.

Charming.
