I, personally, am on the Fallout 3 side, but some of my friends don't agree. What do you guys think about it? Is Fallout 3 a better game or does New Vegas take the win?

Fallout 3 was a fantastic game. New Vegas is lackluster. The atmosphere pales in comparison, the story is mediocre, and it barely even feels post apocalyptic anymore.

New Vegas. NV got me more invested despite the glitches. Although I never got to finish Fallout3 because I traded it in.

Fallout 3 is the better of the two, although you should play New Vegas when you get a chance because it is a pretty good game.

All aspects considered and compared, Fallout 3 is the winner in my opinion. New Vegas has better gameplay mechanics but the story and atmosphere didn't impress me as much.

Both games don't have a very good main story but, like Mass Effect or other games like it, it doesn't matter if it is cliched or bad it's just meant to get you out in the world. New Vegas is better in every other way, except for the all the bugs. Better written dialogue, doesn't mess up the lore of Fallout 1 and 2, better companions that you can have conversations with, better choices, and improved gameplay. Both have pretty bland boring worlds when you are walking around but that's what usually happens when you go from quick traveling to other towns like in 1 and 2 to having to walk through a bunch of nothing to get anywhere.

Liked Fallout 3 (completed with all endings) yet for reasons i can't explain I'm enjoying NV more. Despised the tunnel systems in Fallout 3 so quite happy that they arent thet extensive in NV. The addition of companions is great and the storyline so far is quite good.

One thing though:

Cazadors = EVIL

Fallout 3+ all the dlcs, is a masterpiece from A to Z. Can't say the same for NV.
