Both look awesome. Which one is better? This question is for people who have played both.

I haven't played Fallout so I can't really comment. But I have FC2, and it's great fun! Plus you have a great multiplayer on FC2 (I don't really play multiplayer much but most people do).

I have heard some people saying Fallout was a letdown too...

This isn't the best place to ask. Go to GGD or the PS3 board.

Nvm, sounded like a recommendation thread, ignore what I just said.

I have both, both are great but I'd have to say FC2 is the better game (I didn't like Oblivion too much so that's probably why)

havent played fallout, oblivion got boring after a while and from what i hear of the complaints. its just as lifeless as oblivion

i on the other hand have far cry 2 (PS3) and its amazing. i stopped playing the story at about 20% to try the MP and havent gone back to the story since.

Well i got the PS3 version yesterday, the game keeps you going back for more.Also the PS3 version is surprisingly good, few pop-ins and rarely any low framerates, during gun fights too.

Fallout 3 all the way. I have both of them on the PC and even though Far Cry 2 is a good game, the continuous loop of driving back and forth from the other side of the map to the other side and stopping every 5 minutes for a checkpoint really got on my nerves. I'm going to wait for some mods that will improve the gameplay before I continue playing Far Cry 2 again...

I think so far the only people in this thread who didn't like Fallout 3 or haven't even consider it were never a big fan of Oblivion. With that said, Fallout 3 is definitely a different gaming especially with the character development, and combat. But it still has that open-ended world much like Oblivion. I would say, if you didn't enjoy Oblivion you still have a 50% chance of liking Fallout 3. Then again "a lot" people like Oblivion versus the opposite opinion.

Far Cry 2 improves on something you enjoyed from the original. At the sametime there is some inconsistency with the game. Still the multiplayer component is fairly solid, and is enjoyable. Making a full circle back, I can safetly say that to a degree it is what you expect from the Far Cry franchise, and any fan of shooters should give it a chance.

In the end, I think Fallout 3 is just one of the games that you absolutely have to play this year as oppose to Far Cry 2.

Erm... no. Fallout 3 for the PC too. Actually ESPECIALLY for the PC, considering the crapload of mods that will come out for it. Just look at Morrowind / Oblivion to get an idea of the mod community that will be behind it.
