Poll: Which do you prefer: Fallout 3 or New Vegas?

[Gazisultima]

They're equal to me. Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Fallout 3 has more interesting locations overall, while New Vegas tends to play better in the control department.

P.S. Are you trying to start a flame war?

Two words: Texas Red.

Fallout 3, better story, better locations, LESS CRASHES, better mods thus far (Come on, you got Mothership Zeta crew and Last child of Galifrey in Fallout 3, that's awesome)

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

I prefer Fallout: New Vegas.

Fallout 3's storyline was shit and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

 

[seraphy]

The music, man. The music.

Also, I have to grudgingly admit that Fallout 3 did have more to explore.

Yeah, I have to admit that is true,

Fallout 3, better story, better locations, LESS CRASHES, better mods thus far (Come on, you got Mothership Zeta crew and Last child of Galifrey in Fallout 3, that's awesome)

Everything else is subjective, and those I can accept. But come on better story? No one can seriously mean that?

Fallout 3 story was kinda crap to be nice to it.

 

[Pinkamena]

At least FO3 let me fucking play it! NV crashed on me all the goddamn time.

 

[AroLombardi]

I've played both, and I much prefer Fallout 3. While I do LOVE New Vegas' Assault Carbine and NCR Veteran Armor, Fallout 3 just had a better setting for me. I'm not a fan of deserts. Plus I hated having to deal with different factions. I was friends with nearly all of them (No easy task, given I hated them all save the Boomers), but the fact that they all would hate me for just wearing my favorite outfit really bugged me.

 

[espressojet]

And New Vegas was any better?

Yes, actually. Name a serious plot failure in New Vegas.

Name one plot failure in F3.

OT: I like Fallout 3 more. Why? The game is Genius.
Story Wise? Look at the Extra Credits episode for the short story. But basicaly, the "Courier with amnesia bullshit" is too old. Fallout 3 feels more like "Your story". From beggining to end. Every person you kill, every building you explore.
I liked the story for NV that was a little bit wacky but for all of you complaining about "Fallout 3 being to Dull", this is the Apocalypse.
What new vegas gets right are the factions though, in an apocalyptic setting things would be a lot like this. I guess new vegas could have been better if they had spent more time recreating the engine. The game is way more polished sure, but the graphics and character creation are unacceptable, even for 2010. They should have used a new engine.

He's got it down

Hey, don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the game, I just think it wasn't very innovative.

 

[HassEsser]

Fallout 3 has a MUCH better area, way more interesting side-quests and a more inspired design. However, Fallout 3's main quest is boring as all fuck, DR is useless, caps and stimpaks are eveywhere, your choices mean shit (seriously, post-main quest plays out the same no matter what you do), and the weapons are pretty boring.

Fallout New Vegas has MUCH better gameplay and gameplay elements (DT and such), and the main quest is sooooooooooooo much more involving. However, it's shitty in every other like. The map is so fucking dull (ITS JUST SAND), side-quests are boring and nearly non-existent, and every NPC feels completely useless and unimportant.

That being said, I prefer Fallout 3, but I've dumped over 3000+ hours into the entire Fallout series and love every single Fallout.

 

[SeeIn2D]

Fallout 3 by a landslide. I couldn't get into NV at all. Just didn't work for me. Fallout 3 I found was a lot more immersive, a bigger actual map, and it's simpler. I don't like the whole herb gathering, different ammo thing, just all of the extra stuff I feel like Obsidian just crammed into the game just for shits and giggles. 3 is just more fun. To be honest if the colors of a game being bleaker ruin the fun for you then you need to seriously rethink about your thoughts on what "fun" is.

 

[Pierce Graham]

Not really, I was just curious.

 

[Pierce Graham]

Sorry, but evil former governments vs unicycle-cowboy-robots and people in football outfits, I choose evil former governments.
Also, if you want a reasoned debate, please do. If you're just going to whine until I give up and stop posting, pleas don't. I'm hoping for a reasoned debate.

Was that a response to someone in particular, or to everyone?

 

[Pierce Graham]

Yes, it was a response to Mydogisblue, who said "Fallout 3's storyline was shit and I will fight anyone who says otherwise."

I'm going with Fallout 3. I preferred the weapon mod system in NV, as limited as it was, and I also enjoyed Hardcore mode, but the sense of...desolation, the honestly post-apocalyptic setting that Fallout 3 had, I preferred much more. I know NV was supposed to be more civilized and less wild than its predecessor, but it wasn't what I'd grown to love during the countless hours roaming the Capital Wasteland with nothing but a duster, a hat, and my rifle.

Fallout 3 with a wider range of weapon mods than NV, hardcore mode, more options for lodging than shack in Megaton or suite in Tenpenny, and hopefully a few more quests - both long and short - would be an amazing game that I would love to play. For hours. I should probably invest in the PC version, actually..

Upon reflection, a more intricate and involved quest system would be awesome too. More options, more branching post-main quest and during the main quest, and definitely a way to shove Charon in a pit filled with spikes and then light him on fire. Because the fanfiction about this Ghoul can be mind-bogglingly perverse, and I don't want him to be alive as a reminder of those scarring few reads. Once you read that shit, you can't unread it.

Sorry, I seem to have lost my train of thought.

I find it quite amusing how you say that Victor ruins your immersion, yet you don't mention Liberty Prime?

 

[Pierce Graham]

Because Liberty Prime was like all the other robots in the game, while the Securitrons just look ridiculous.

Name one plot failure in F3.

*How the hell does a society of small children manage to survive and procreate? And why haven't they been massacred by the Super Mutants yet?

That's easy.

Because kids in Fallout are damn invincible.

No, no they are not.
You can blow kids to pieces in Fallout and Fallout 2.

Oh, you were talking about Fallout 3?
HAH!
