Deus Ex or Fallout 3 ?

Which game do you think is better ?

I think Fallout 3 is a great game, but compared to Deus Ex most games are ****

The disparity in quality between these two games is utterly monumental - this thread is paradoxical because trying to compare such an awesome game with such a mediocre one should not be physically possible.

As for your question? Deus Ex is better than Fallout 3.

The games are absolute opposites. Deus Ex is an FPS with RPG elements, whereas Fallout 3 is an RPG with FPS elements. It's unreasonable to try and compare the two.JN_Fenrir

Just by that description, I wouldn't call them "Absolute" opposites. I'd think a racing game would be more opposite than either of those games, for example.

I think both are RPG with FPS elements.

I love both games but if you forced me to play one of them only I would say Fallout 3. Both are on my top 10 list though.

old school pc gamers will always say dues ex, I can respect that, for me I loved fallout3 and hated dues ex.

A lot of Fallout 3 hate on here. I have to support the underdog. Fallout 3 doesn't have a great storyline, but it's a phenomenal game.

Depends which Deus Ex you are talking about...

[QUOTE="KHAndAnime"]Deus Ex. Fall Out 3 sucks as it is. No need to compare it to a godly game.chandu83

Deus ex is better, but fallout 3 is propably the best game in this gen that is close enough to fallout 3. Alot of people will say "deux ex, fallout 3 is crap" Etc,etc, first we all know fallout 3 is an amazing game. But les focus on what it does better than deus ex that should give it credits.

It has more dialogues and choices than deus ex, it has much bigger maps with much more playing time. It allows you to change your characters apperance in terms of clothes, you can play as a female. It has levels, so you upgrade with without doing specific stats such as completing every objective and exploring every are just ot get skill points. Also it has more weapons and personally i think it has better weapons and the player will witch between them more often to get past various situations than deus ex. Also it has better enemy types and better atmosphere also the lockpicking system is better and a better inventory system in my opinion.

Now lets talk about the similarities: both have an fps/rpg upgrading system in which you upgrade stuff such as lockpicking, hacking, medic and various weapon types, in both games you can play semi-stealthy , in both games you can lockpick a door or open it via hacking a computer (however in deus ex you can sometimes blow it up) in both games you can heal induvidual body part. talk to npcs and use grenades/mines to fight various enemies or disable traps.(In fallout 3 however you can repair items which for me is a very important thing and i cant believe they did not do it in the first 2 games, atleast there is soemthing that is better than fallout 2. No?)

They are pretty similar So i have to say i liked more deus ex.

Both you and him are utterly wrong. Fallout 3 is known to be a great game, have reasons for not liking it? Thats fine, the game not beeing that great? That is also fine, but you cant say it sucks just like that, thats pure bias.

Now you are wrong too, because i never said a game sucks, never. Not even once. Infact i never said a game is plain bad either. I dont know from where the hell did that came from but you better take it back. If it makes no diffirence to you, then i am gonna start saying "game sucks" and make you realize the diffirence.

Let's just say that if I had to choose between the two I would pick Deus Ex.

They are indeed very different games; Fallout 3 has a longer play time, better visuals and better combat. However, I am unhealthily attached to the older game, the story and setting of which I enjoy much more, not to mention the ambition behind its gameplay philosophy.

In what way is it a technical achievement? You try creating a game that has half the scope of Fallout 3 and then we will talk. I am a software engineering (not a programmer) and I know what it takes to create something like this.
If you don't want to pay for a game, that is your prerogative as a customer, but to deny that the game is not a technical accomplishment, is utter ignorance.
I am no Fallout 3 fanboy by the way. Barely started playing it 4 days ago. The point, whether or not it appeals to you, the game is extremely well made.

For me its Deus Ex that takes the cake in this one, Not that I dislike FO3 (I like it alot, and love some of the dlc), But fallout 3 has the same problems as Oblivion had:

It is a big huge world, but very limited in tilesets, so it kills off some of the fun of exploring when so many things look the same (I do respect the fact that fixing this problem would be a huge task).

The engine itself in FO3 has some serious problems, just as it did in Oblivion, things feels like they have no mass, and movement always feels and looks wrong (not your own, the opponants). And to me FO3s scale was too small.

Deus ex has its own list of shortcommings, the graphical engine for one was pretty much outdated when it came out, Not that I mind it, but alot of people do and did, there is a destinct lack of information on how the game is playied, but that too is just a matter of learning the ropes.

it is sometimes dreadful liniar, but the story can be manipulated by the player.

To me it always comes down to the story and plot, and that the envioment/world convays the emotions and supports the plot nicely aswell, nowadays they call it Immersion, but I consider it something else, namely the art of having the world fit together, not having a string of set pieces.

FO3s team did like making FO3 I think, but had both budget and time restrictions on thier hands, which shows overshooting a bit, but having great asperations is not a bad thing.

Oh and dont pick on Daken ;) Me and hm are usually on complete opposites of what games we like and what games we dislike, but Ive never seen him call a game trash, he just states that he does not like said game, which is atleast an honest oppinion.

Deus Ex.

what does "gameplay" even mean here? do we all agree upon the meaning of that word? or the quality of gameplay is also dependent upon individual tastes...and if it's all about different tastes, Fallout 3 deserves every bit of its criticism from those who dislike it, and the praise from those who like it.

anyway, I've been gaming long enough to see the sandbox/free roaming clan grow and become a self-righteous bunch...thinking open world is automatically better than linear game narrative.

in this case or many others, Fallout 3 throw out a bland and lifeless open world compared to the limited one in Deus Ex; I'll take anytime a well-crafted linear game over a open world game without character.

This and Deus Ex can be compared to System Shock 2

What I most dislike about Fallout 3 is the shallow gamestyle. Like some reviewers said: Oblivion with guns. And for me it felt exactly like that!

Yeah, the open, postapocalyptic world is nice to explore, but there is not really an incentive to do so. You get plenty of the same weapons, ammo etc., you stack your items so that the difficulty is simply not there, even on highest settings. Yeah, I know, there are realism mods out there, but I'm speaking of F3 vanilla here. Some of the side quests are cool, but some others are mediocre, at best.

The enemies and characters are somewhat ridiculous for me. Ghouls - interesting... Super mutants? - Oh come on... For a postapocalyptic world I never had the feeling to "be lost" or that I must fight for my damn survival. It was too easy, too generic. VATS was a nice feature, but it made the game too easy. On the other hand, playing without VATS wasn't difficult, either.

And the story .... hm, well, there are worse, but also much better stories in games out there. Funny note: These days I read an article on a gaming website, with the topic of kinda like "How games are able to tell us a great, emotional story - on the example of Fallout 3" and I thought: Man, they never played a game with a REAL GOOD story?!?!

Overall, Fallout 3 isn't a bad game or rpg, but amongst the best of all time, where Deus Ex undeniably belongs to: NO WAY!

[QUOTE="skrat_01"]DEUS EX. This isn't even a competition, Fallout 3 is a spin on the Deus Ex design formula, let alone an inferior role playing game. Renevent42

Real time direct input and a focus on the first person perspective can be a major draw-card for many. Oh yes there are massive differences between the two, however there are influences from down the line are there.

Im a Dinosaur when it comes to comparing Deus Ex to anything, Fallout 3 was great and all but Deus Ex is timeless, I'll probably still be playing this in 10 years time methinks
