Quest for the Holy Grail: Fallout 4 or The Witcher 3?

Both are stellar but i voted for Fallout 4 because i enjoy its world more than the one in TW3.

The Witcher 3, hands down. One of the only great things about Fallout is the exploration (which it has in spades), yet IMO TW3 rivaled it.

Atm TW3, in a few months when F4 modding is in full effect ask again.

Well sure, but is that a fair comparison? Imho, in their vanilla state, TW3 is a much better RPG title. Fallout 4 severely lacks polish and production values TW3 offered when it launched.

Fallout 4 is just about exploration, nothing more.

The Witcher 3 is gaming industry at its peak!

Yes and no, while TW3s story and characters are far beyond Fallouts, Fallout's openess can allow for more personal role playing, mods can add to that even further.

pretty much.

I enjoyed Fallout 4 but in many (most even) regards its not even in the same league as Witcher 3

That's a tough one for me. I finished the Witcher 3 at around the 200 hour mark, loved it, one of the best RPG games I ever played. I'm still playing Fallout 4, around 40 hours in, love it as well. Each game does things better than the other.....Fallout 4 is more a "self-contained" adventure than W3 imo....sometimes I felt a little lost in W3 because I had not played the previous titles.....F4 is more user friendly in that regard imo.

Technically speaking W3 is a more polished product than F4, top notch production values all around. Truly feels like a next gen RPG. F4 is sometimes rough around the edges graphically speaking, but by and large, and especially where art design is concerned, I'm fine with the graphics in F4....but W3 wins otherwise in this area. Other minor details like that, but overall and mostly because I prefer the setting and story more(I also really like VATS for some reason), I would choose F4. But really for me they are both 10/10 experiences. Just clear your schedule if you decide to tackle one of those babies, these are enormous, enormous games.

I love both and would easily put both in my top 10 fav games, although Fallout 4 wins in my book.

Mods are always awesome. But, strangely enough, personally, I couldn't play The Witcher 3 with mods (except visual ones), simply because the game is nearly perfect in almost every way.

On the other hand, Fallout 4 offers massive number of areas that could be improved by modders.

Somehow while playing, The Witcher 3 sends the message that the game was made with love and enthusiasm. I don't get the same feeling while playing Fallout 4.

No contest, Witcher 3

I played both. The easiest way to determine this is asking the following questions; how many insane memories do you remember from fallout 4 and Witcher 3.

Fallout 4 despite being an insane game, barely has any high Moments. It's all meh. The good point of the game is being open world. But it's so one dimensional that you feel like you have been there before.

Haven't played Fallout 4 yet, but if it's the last Fallout games, i might give it the vote.

But i have to ive it to The Witcher for now.

ps:What's up with the 3rd option?

I say The Witcher 3, i have played neither of the new ones though.

What should be up with the third option? :-)

fallout 4.

It's verry specific.

What if i wanted to say they both suck cause they're not on the Vita?

Well one is an RPG, the other is not, so only one fits your question?

FO4 while being an incredibly fun game, utterly fails as an RPG, there are rarely consequences for the choices you make (which the witcher nails) Leveling is pretty much a case of min maxing, and is more in line with dungeon crawlers (which are not RPGs, they too existed before pc/console gaming, but with you know all RP stripped).

When it finally pretends to have choice it is just at the near end with which faction you side with, with an ugly "this decision can not be undone" message popping up, why should that ever be highlighted in an RPG? And even at that those decisions does not at all gel well with everything in the game up till that point.

So FO4 fails at placing the player IN the story, as much as telling it around the player, there is little to no choice, outside "who should win" The game is more focused on exploration, combat and looting.

This is all fine, but I can not call FO4 an RPG, I could not call FO3 an rpg either, FO4 IS however a really good game, so if the question was "which is the better game" It would be harder, but I would say The WItcher 3 wins by default, by remembering that it is an RPG.

Fallout 4.

Witcher 3 has better writing and voice acting but Fallout 4 has better stories. It also has a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better open world, like, thats not even remotely close.

Witcher!

Fallout 4 isn't a RPG, has lower averages at every aggregate, lower user reviews everywhere, and less GOTYs so far.

Witcher 3 wins by spades.

Both are flawed masterpieces, but The Witcher 3 is objectively the better game. I will probably play more Fallout 4 though, The Witcher's replay value simply isn't there. However I honestly believe it has the best plot of any game I have ever played.

Fallout 4, outside a couple parts, has poor storytelling.

The Witcher 3's side storytelling is epochal, and makes the game the great it is.

The Witcher 3 runs circles around Fallout 4.

The Witcher 3. I like Fallout 4, but it's not grabbing me nearly as much as The Witcher 3.

great, has nothing to do with what I said. try again.

Undertale.

W3

Considering Fallout 4 is not an RPG I think The Witcher 3 should win this poll by default.

Fair statement, but I believe that W2 and D:OS offer probably the best alternative to those two games in the RPG department in 2015.

Pillars of Eternity, Shadowrun Hong Kong, missed a few there mate

On topic: Between those 2, I didn't play Fallout 4, because I don't like Bethesda games. The Witcher 3 is a good game, so The Witcher 3.

No you said that fallout 4 has better stories....it doesn't

@texasgoldrush: yup, it does

I've only played F4 so far, but I think Witcher 3 is the better game. I also think that I would enjoy F4 more than W3, but W3 seems more polished and just a better put together game overall. Can't vote as I haven't played W3 yet, but I think W3 should be the winner.

Oh i 100% agree, TW3 is up there with my GOTG i liked it so much i bought it twice just to support CDPR.

Fallout 4's and any Bethesda game's saving grace is that that love and enthusiasm, while not there at the beginning or barely noticeable it is added later by the modding communities.

to say that is even laughable.

Hell, the Towerful of Mice quest outclasses anything Bethesda has done.

@texasgoldrush: cool opinion bro, has nothing to do with my point

you had a point, I refuted it.

Bethesda storytelling is amateur hour compared to The Witcher.

Graphics, story, soundtrack, characters etc. Witcher 3 easily.

Actual combat and gameplay Fallout 4 easily.

@texasgoldrush: you haven't refuted my point, you don't even know what it is. GG, better luck next time.

They are both excellent, but I give the nod to the witcher 3.

I personally preferred divinity original sin over both though. Never played wasteland 2, but it's on my list.

Witcher 3 is like a Davinci painting that Davinci painted while drunk. Imperfect yet astounding. Fallout 4 is like a homework project from a 12 year old done at the last minute, who was also drunk. Imperfect and disappointing. Fallout 4 is a joke, all filler no killer.

Nailed it!

Year of the WRPG.

Great comment. I laughed hard because your right.

Witcher 3, no contest

Witcher 3 eeeeeeeeeeeasily. Its simply the better game of the two.

It honestly depends on what series you like more. I jumped into witcher 3 without playing any games in the series prior, and regreted it(I sold the game because I could not get into it). I have played almost every fallout game, and eventhough I notice a lot of flaws with this one, im enjoying fallout 4 a lot

The Witcher 3 is one of he best games i have ever played, so i'm going with it.

Both are amazing, and easily the best current gen games, though.

Have had infinitely more fun playing Fallout 4 so...Fallout 4.

stupid thread ?
