Poll: Halo:Reach Or Fallout:New Vegas?

[CJ1145]

Reach, but I'm probably going to wind up getting both in short order.

For the record, as a doctor I have diagnosed this thread with Colon Cancer.

I despise Halo and New Vegas is being developed by Obsidian, so I won't hold my breath. They've already put me off with that putrid orange tint that's all over the game.

I choose 'neither'.

Just saying, the orange HUD can be changed, like in Fallout 3. It just happens to be the colour they used for the videos. I personally consider it ill-judged to choose not to consider getting a game because the chosen HUD colour (that you can change) doesn;t suit your tastes.

No, the hue of the entire game is the orange colour, not just the HUD. Like I said, my main reason is that it's being developed by Obsidian - I'll need to see some amazing reviews before I'm convinced.

ive always found the halo games to be boring and generic, and i love fallout 3. so yea, definetly fallout nv

 

[OctalLord]

your bound to get tons of bias in this thread..especially on the escapist, most people here are diehard fallout fans and think halo is mostly a piece of shit..

so on topic anyways, id say if your getting both eventually, which is what im assuming, go with reach first, as fallout new vegas is bound to be glitchy and whatnot at first, and they will patch that all up and have some decent dlc to download by the time ou can buy that im sure, while halo reach is that multiplayer and honestly i think its important to be in games like those from the start so you dont start behind and end up being the "noob" who can't keep up with the cheese strategies and whatnot.

but hey your choice, oranges and apples man if your getting both

Which is strange considering most posts in this thread(Exception of two) that have been anti-halo have been simply "meh-Just not that into Halo" which makes it seem to be Like Reach is a strong suit this year.

Or perhaps I'm looking at it wrong.


On-topic: I'm going to say Halo: Reach for the simple fact I don't know enough about New Vegas to reccomend it to anyone.

 

[Drexlor]

Definitely New Vegas. That new automatic grenade launcher might finally give me a reason to care about explosives.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

Alright, so today I was going to preorder Halo: Reach. However, today I just saw some of the gameplay footage of New Vegas. Being a fan of Fallout 3 this obviously attracted my attention. I am equally exited about both games, being fans of their prequels, but I do not know which one to get.
So Escapists, I ask you, what is your opinion?

if your getting halo reach for the multiplayer go with fallout new vagas but if its plot wise id wanna play fallot 3 new vagas first

 

[WinkyTheGreat]

Not a huge fallout fan myself. It's all too brown for me. Therefore I'll be going with Reach. It looks a lot more like the original game as far as game play goes and that makes me happy.

 

[Blights]

Halo: Reach looks amazing, not too much of a Fallout fan myself, it's just really strange, it's an FPS just with a skill attached that helps you shoot better.

Actually that's the RPG element of the game. Which is why it's considered an RPG.

Yeah, but it seems like it's a really small grasp on an RPG element, it only lasts a few seconds and from when I played the game, wasn't even that tactical, sure you can choose gear to wear but people choose guns to use in other FPS'.

It's why I don't think of Borderlands as an RPG, it seems to much of an FPS to be an RPG.

Fallout 3 is the same.

That's just my Opinion anyway.

 

[crazyfoxdemon]

I'd go for New Vegas... I doubt that the Halo Reach formula will differ all that much from Halo 3... And do you really wanna pay 50 some odd for what amounts to a few new levels and a couple new extra modes?

 

[Doctor Glocktor]

Reach, definitely. Fallout 3 was either mind-numbingly boring or retardedly frustrating, with no middle ground.

 

[_Cake_]

Fallout: New Vegas, but they are totally different games.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Reach! Although I have a confession to make - I still haven't played Fallout 3 yet...

 

[mkg]

Halo Reach.

Call me crazy, but the new Fallout is kind of boring. It's definitely more entertaining than the super-formulaic Knights of the Old Republic games, but the actual combat part is way too boring and stiff. That, and the payoffs from the dialogue options are usually just novel at best, they never impact anything that deeply from what I've played.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Definitely Reach, I loved Fallout 3, but reach is looking so much more fun to me.

 

[warprincenataku]

It's really going to come down to your play style. I am more for the RPG experience than just plain shooter, so of course my vote is for New Vegas.

 

[lazyslothboy]

I'm not too much of an RPG guy myself and I love me some halo so my vote goes to Reach.

 

[Fallen-Angel Risen-Demon]

Alltough Halo:Reach does look like a good game (I got the beta) I have decided not to get it because I stopping my gold to get SW:TOR.
If Fallout:NV is anything like Fallout:3 then it'll be good. Planning to pre-order it soon.

 

[Misterian]

Fallout: New Vegas, hands down.

hopefully the difficulty curve on this one will be much more balanced than Fallout 3 was with the expansions.

But regardless, it will be awesome to go to the Mojave Wasteland and show bad guys who's boss. plus they have gambling, consider me sold.

Actually you've got a point, the RPG element is a bit thinly spread out...idk, maybe it's the fact that it's open world instead of being linear that makes it classified as RPG instead...I guess there's no harm in calling it an FPSRPG though o:
