To me, in NV they tried to do two things at once, and failed. FO3 was definitely all about the waste part of the wasteland, and I LOVED it. Before NV I did think it was a little silly that nobody planted any corn, but it wasn't enough to distract from feeling hopeless. You're a kid thrown out into a completely messed up world, the first town is made from garbage, the raider armor is made from scraps, wildlife is mangy and feral, not even the water is safe, super mutants and feral ghouls want to kill you, etc. Even the BOS with way more than anyone else is struggling, the Citadel is half scrap as well. It's always dragging you down, no hope, ever.
Now NV tries to inject some civilization into that, but tries to keep the wasteland as well. And in my opinion fails. A perfect example of this is Primm. As it is it would fit right into FO3, two beat up buildings with people who are struggling and others who want to kill you. But that's mitigated my the NCR being nearby and it was supposedly a real town. Other than the bunch of houses that are so easy to miss there is no evidence of a town. Outer Vegas is even better. The supposed oasis where hundreds or thousands people flock has guns-r-us and implants-r-us just plopped outside the gates. Inside is even worse, there just aren't enough people, there's no place for them to live (remember how everybody had their own house in Megaton? Sure they were filled with useless stuff but it made Megaton feel real), and plopped in the middle of that is lazors-r-us.
And the super mutants, sure the ones in FO3 didn't have anything to do with the master, so what? That's what you're picking out that makes no sense? It's fun, and none of this makes sense. And Liberty Prime. Yes that's silly, but an army of unicycle robots isn't? I can go on and on, but I liked FO3 better. If you like NV better, that's fine, I can see why, but I liked the more desolate feel of FO3.

Honestly, I think I feel the opposite of TC.
It wasn't a well made game at all, it was an unplayable glitchfest. But the one thing I enjoyed about it (or would have) is that it felt just like Fallout 3.

Now that would be AWESOME!Canid117 said:
I actually think both Fallout 3 and New Vegas are amazing. They're both kind of similar, but the small changes that they made to New Vegas makes it feel like a new experience to me.
What I mean to say is that Fallout is not dead. Fallout is probably one of the few game titles that has an enormous amount of potential in it. I can't wait until they make the next one.
It will be interesting to see how many more Fallout games it will take before it gets universally hated like Call of Duty.
I don't think its lagging behind, all the games in the series I find are fun. Even Brotherhood of Steel, which gets a lot of hate mainly due to it totally shitting on the cannon, was kind of fun, and Tactics was good too. My favorite is still 3 but New Vegas is growing on me at the moment. I forgot how brutally tough it is when your a lower level, though I should probably stop walking around everywhere in just a Roving Trader Outfit and the Recruit Helmet. (Though it does look damn cool!)
Well, considering TESV is coming out on a new and shiny engine, I think we can expect the next Fallout game to do the same. It'll be rad.
I seriously don't get it.
Aren't Vice City and San Andreas also "expansions" to GTA 3?
That doesn't mean they aren't good.
I personally enjoy playing New Vegas and I especially like the new Hardcore Mode.
And yes, I also played Fallout 3 and I admit that the concept of those games is basically the same, but It's still fun and I still play New Vegas and enjoy it.
The only problem is the bugs and the stupid AI, but this doesn't make this game less fun than what it really is.
