Some people may love New Vegas over FO3 and vice versa.Both games are great, but IMO I would have to say Fallout 3 Goes waay harder than New Vegas does. I feels as if FNV was downscaled a lot compaing to FO3 and let me explain why.

  • You could have over 2 party members (The Ghoul, The Whore (lol) who wanted to escape her pimp, Fawkes, and The Dog all at one time)
  • Montain climb (jumping on the hill non stop to get to the top or jump from rock to rock)
  • When you attack on VATS Mode, no one can attack you until your attack is done. (On NV they will attack you reguardless)
  • FO3 seemed WAYY more bigger and had more things to do comparing to New Vegas.
  • The RAD infections weren't as high and crazy
  • Every time you leveled up you could gain a perk (on FNV its 1 once every 2 level ups)
  • The Barter Glitch (where if you sold the same item the store clerk has and you had an extra one yourself, you could make money for free by buying it and selling it again. . Complicted, go on youtube for it if you are interested)

More thing most likely, but I believe FO3 was worked on wayy harder comparing to New Vegas. But They are both good.

What do you guys think ?

I loved Fallout 3. Was to discouraged to buy Fallout Vegas due to the high number of complaints about bugs. So if anything let this be a lesson to the executive in Bethesda that pushed the deployment for Fallout New Vegas prior to all the bugs being ironed out people (like me for example) will not buy a game if it is buggy no matter how good the franchise is. And yes I consider Fallout 3 one of the best PS3 experience to date.

  • Yes, it does suck that you can only have two party members in NV. I agree here.
  • That's a design flaw that was fixed in NV so it doesn't count.
  • Fallout isn't meant to be a turn-based RPG so removing that made the game a lot more challenging and reqarding
  • FO3 was bigger but most of that was empty space. The NV map may be smaller but it is absolutely packed with locations and quests
  • In real life, radiation poisoning is serious. I believe they wanted you to feel the repercussions of being afflicted with it.
  • This stops perk whoring.
  • Once again, this was a glitch that wasn't intentional. It was fixed because it did not belong there.

Fallout 3 100%, simply of the atmosphere and bigger map and hundreds of locations to visit.

It made the game so long and epic. I felt like a Wasteland Wanderer on his Book Of Eli and I am Legend journey just finding so much loot, enemies, and water. . I loved beating the crap out of raiders lol :lol:

I'm all about the Capital Wasteland, not that I didn't love New Vegas too. Like a poster above me said, Capital Wasteland just had a better atmosphere to it.

Yea the atmosphere was better in Fallout 3. IMO the blue skies was a turn off in NV BUT I did enjoy it and am waiting for the GOTY to repurchase it.

I think I prefer the wasteland of Fallout 3 itself (other than the crap in metro areas with having to use identical looking subway tunnels to move around), although I prefer New Vegas as a game because it feels more like the old Fallout games. There are more instances where you can talk your way out of problems, where in Fallout 3 it's pretty much shoot, shoot, shoot. Fallout 3's 'towns' are also kind of disappointing because other than Megaton and Rivet City, there aren't really any towns of note, where in Fallout and Fallout 2 most of the game's content took place in cities. Fallout 3 is kind of a lonely experience as a result.

Fallout 3 is just 10000000x better. Just walking around and hearing three dog, the music and herbert daring dashwood was an amazing experiance. Fallout 3 is one of the best games I've played, New Vegas one of the worst.

Fallout New Vegas. It's a close call but I think New Vegas does more things right.

Does it have the fat man weapon on New Vegas ?

I like the added faction system along with the existing karma system, iron sights & V.A.T.S., more involved side quests because of the faction system, more exploration above ground (like many i didn't enjoy the metros in F3), I personally like the soundtrack in NV more (except for the DJ, Three Dog was much better), weapon mods, etc etc.

I don't use fat man weapons or anytying too elaborate. I like Fallout for its atmosphere/story/exploration etc. I end up using plasma rifles as soon as I find one.

FO3 for sure, your not running super long distances without something to see, NV just seemed bland and unexciting, story wise too.
